Stylist launched in October 2009, and since then it’s become famous for innovation and an ability to stand out and surprise. I remember my first time collecting a Stylist, picking up a copy of the freemium magazine outside Angel tube station on my way home from a class at City University for my Masters programme. Since then I’ve watched … Continue reading
Every weekend I tell Jeff that I’d like to go to Columbia Road on Sunday to buy flowers for the vase on our mantelpiece, and every weekend (at least every weekend for the past 6 months!) I’ve either ended up with other plans or snoozing till noon. But last Sunday it all worked out: we … Continue reading
Last week I attended my first Bright Young Things Film Club event, courtesy of a press pass with my friend Mitra, to see the short film The Phone Call and the full length documentary Art and Craft. I hadn’t heard of BYT Film Club before Mitra told me about them, but I’m really glad she did because the night was … Continue reading
The Sky Garden has been on Jeff and my London Bucket List for a while, and with summer coming to a close we decided it was time to hurry up and cross it off while the weather was still on our side… Continue reading
Covent Garden put up it’s latest exhibition this week: Heartbeat by French artist Charles Pétillon featuring 100,000 giant white balloons that fill the grand interior of the 19th Century Market Building.

Saturday was a busy day for Jeff & me as we really tried to make the most of the warm, dry weather during one of the last (sob!) weekends of summer. After visiting God’s Own Junkyard in Walthamstow we hopped back on the Overground towards Camden Road… Continue reading
God’s Own Junkyard is filled with Neon Man Chris Bracey’s work and collection, and I’ve wanted to go ever since I saw his solo show at Scream Gallery in Soho. As a neon lover, God’s Own Junkyard is basically the end all be all of neon sign glory. It’s free to go, open weekends, and I genuinely … Continue reading
For the past couple months my colleague Nikko (AKA my desk buddy, *waves*) has been bringing in candles that he’s developed for his business, Earl of East London, and I’ve responded by trying to sneak them home (he’s clever and always catches me). So when Earl of East London collaborated with Blue Guy Pottery for the Wanderlust series I was all … Continue reading
One of my favourite things about living in London is that there’s always something new happening, and recently that something new was the opening of Melt Room, a new grilled cheese sandwich shop in Soho. It’s not too far from my office, so on the opening day several of my colleagues and I stopped by on our … Continue reading
