Who ate all the pies?

By JJ at February 28, 2010 | 10:03 am | 1 Comments

Well I never. Apparently in Britain, we have a whole week devoted to pies. And that week, my friends, is upon us. National Pie Week (yes, really) runs from 1st-7th March, and to help you celebrate (!) some of London's finest pubs are really pulling out all the stops. Renaissance Pubs will be showcasing comforting food & ale combinations including Cow Pie +

Dreamy…

By JJ at February 27, 2010 | 1:07 pm | 2 Comments

I absolutely love these beautiful photographs by Gingerlillytea. They have a hazy, innocent charm that makes me long for spring days and picnics and make me remember what it's like to feel free. I want to kick off my shoes and go running through the fields with flowers in my hair. And one day very soon...I will. Happy Saturday everyone

Borough Market is an absolute haven for food lovers. There's something exciting about getting amongst the beautiful, fresh ingredients. You get a real buzz from the colours, the smells, the enthusiasm of the traders and customers alike. And, it's got just that little bit better thanks to The Real Food Festival, who have  launched a weekly fixture at Borough, bringing

Free Entry to clubs in London? Go on then…

By JJ at February 26, 2010 | 11:27 pm | 0 Comment

I love going out in London. Like, really love it. I've been doing it for 15 years and in all honesty, I'm not likely to stop any-time soon. We all know London isn't cheap though...in fact it can be positively scary at times. £20 just to get into the clubs can be seen as a little steep. But what if you could get into all the best clubs, at any time, for FREE? Well, now

LFW Exhibition…

By JJ at February 23, 2010 | 8:08 pm | 1 Comments

Today I fell in Love with fashion all over again. Not that I ever really fell out of love with it, exactly, but today was an incredibly real reminder of all the reasons why it's worth loving... LFW was buzzing, as always. In fact, it's mental. Everywhere you look, beautiful people (who are unfeasibly tall) glide through the grand corridors of Somerset House beside

LFW is here…

By JJ at February 22, 2010 | 9:31 pm | 0 Comment

I think someone has something against me going to LFW. I was soooo ill last September that I had to miss the whole event - and this time - I have flu again. Pish. But it's not going to stop me. Oh no. I may have missed the first couple of days but tomorrow I am heading out first thing and am going to make the most of all the fabulousness for the remainder of the

WIN! One for the BOYS from Anonymous God…

By JJ at February 22, 2010 | 9:18 am | 59 Comments

I think I've been spoiling you ladies recently, with handbags and silky knickers (although in all truth, I'm sure some of the boys have got to enjoy the sight of those as well!) So I thought it was about time we gave the boys a chance to win a prize. The lovely people over at Anonymous God are offering one lucky winner the chance to get their hands on one of their

Mondays at Marvel…

By JJ at February 15, 2010 | 2:53 pm | 0 Comment

Mondays in town have always been a bit of a non-event. I mean, there are great places to go if you know where to look...there always are in London...but there's never been a regular event to REALLY shout about. Until now that is. Chelsea's first and only DJ owned bar, Marvel, have put together a bloody brilliant industry night. And seeing as it's their night off, this

WIN…Hempleman Monaco Purse worth £95!!

By JJ at February 15, 2010 | 8:36 am | 222 Comments

If you're a girl, chances are you'll love Shoes & Handbags. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's part of our DNA. Maybe there is some kind of secret lesson we get taught at school and then forget. Or maybe, it's just because they're pretty. So, if you're a girl, and my theory is correct, I'm pretty sure you'll like the look of Hempleman with all their lovely bags &

Valentines Treats!

By JJ at February 12, 2010 | 10:16 am | 0 Comment

If you are anything like me, you'll have been hiding your head under the covers and trying to avoid the hearts and flowers and teddy bears that have been lining the shelves since bloody Christmas. It annoys me a little bit. I mean, if you're going to be romantic, how about being romantic all year round? Just a thought :) But we all know that if boys proclaim that

Lovely to meet you…

By JJ at February 11, 2010 | 9:28 pm | 0 Comment

Last Friday, at Ping Pong on Appold Street, a group of us met for cocktails and dim sum. Nothing unusual about that I guess. Except that this group were strangers (in the real world at least...) A fantastic group of us who talk on Twitter day in, day out, met up and had a whale of a time. Some of us had met before. Others were introduced for the first time. Nothing was

Oh my goodness. Imagine being dressed up to the nines in your most amazing dress, on your way to meet the man of your dreams at a swanky London restaurant this Valentines day...and imagine being picked up and dropped off in a fabulous Ferrari...
