Review: Lunch at Sackville’s, Mayfair
Sackville’s, Mayfair, opened on 16th July and isn’t quite known yet. And I don’t really understand why! I was welcomed to attend for a review recently, and the top line notes are that the food was great, cocktails delicious, the staff personable and I’ll certainly be back for a non-review experience first chance I get.

Photo Diary: God’s Own Junkyard
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

I’m back from my blogging break!

It was … Continue reading

Specifically I wanted the N1 bangle as a homage to Angel and Upper Street, my stomping grounds while studying my Masters at City University, … Continue reading

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

It’s no secret that Jeff and I love eating out and enjoy indulging in good burgers from time to time, so when tickets for the 2nd annual National Burger Day went on sale, we were all over it! So on 27 August we ate light, headed south to Battersea, queued up and ate as many burgers as … Continue reading
