A Sunday morning at the cinema with your line manager and her family may not sound like great fun to you, but that’s probably because your line manager isn’t Mokuska and her family isn’t awesome. So when Moksuka offered me a pre-release screening ticket to see the live action version of Cinderella on Sunday with her family, I … Continue reading

Brunch and a wander through Brick Lane’s Vintage Market
I’ve lived in London for nearly five years now (when did that happen?!) and during that time nothing quite says ‘it’s the weekend!’ to me like brunch and a wander through a market. I don’t do this nearly as often as I used to – mostly due to being ‘grownup’ and having to do ‘errands’ … Continue reading
New Year’s Goals for 2015
I’m not one for New Year’s Resolutions – not one bit! But every year I set myself goals, either things I want to do, achieve, or try in the year ahead. I make them as realistic as possible, and then check in regularly throughout the year to see how I’m getting along. Here are my … Continue reading
Photo diary: Christmas lights around Oxford Street
Darlings, I will not lie: Christmas is in 4 sleeps and I only just finished present shopping today! So with a handful of names left on my list (including my husband – eek!) I went to London’s shopping mecca, Oxford Street, to get the job done. However, with the entire street (and many of the side streets) … Continue reading
Celebrating Feathers’ 40th Birthday
One of my favourite things about living in London is that you get to meet all sorts of people and there’s never a shortage of options to keep you entertained. So along those lines – that’s pretty much how I found myself on the guest list along with a friend for Feathers’ 40th Birthday Party on … Continue reading
Another Post about London in the Summer…
Summer is my favourite season. I love the long days, the heat waves, sunbathing at the beach and picnics in the park. Growing up I longed for the days where I could ditch my tights and go bare-legged, shed the cardigans and jackets in favour of vest tops – and eat lots of watermelon and … Continue reading
Reminscing: Bonfires and Summer Nights
Growing up in New England, nothing quite said Summer is here! like long days at the beach with BBQs and bonfires. As I grew up, those beach days, BBQs and bonfires all became excellent excuses for a party. (And as far as I’m concerned, there’s not much that beats a party with the hot, humid New England summer as a backdrop.) But … Continue reading
The Fluffy Shopping Experience
Ever since The Cornershop popped up on 1st August, my Instagram and Twitter feeds have been inundated with snaps of traditional corner shop goods made of nothing but felt and wool. And being the nosey type who also really enjoys art (with a personal preference for installations at that) I made plans to check it … Continue reading
Last week on Instagram… hanging out in London
Sometimes we all just need a little rest and relaxation, and last week was one of those weeks for me, filled with books, coffee, tea, friends and London hangouts… Continue reading
Last week on Instagram… summers in the city
The past week in London has been truly lovely – the sun’s shone (almost) every day, the mercury was consistently high, and anyone might think it’s actually summer! With my sandals on while putting my favourite vest tops to good use, here’s what I got up to last week according to the pictures I posted on Instagram… Continue reading
