We are approaching that time of year when the wedding invitations begin to come rolling in. A harmonic occasion that provides the perfect opportunity to overdress and reflect on our forever-alone state – at least in my case. Alas, it is purely worth is for the dress code? My go-to advice for what to wear…
This marked my first ever St Regis Hotel experience and I was outrageously surprised by the glistening modern build and out of this world service. The whole experience has almost left me a bit giddy as it was really something quite special, marking the end of my lovely San Francisco venture. When first arriving at…
Choosing outfits for workwear can be a challenge as it is all about working within the limits of sophistication, work etiquette and individualism. I think it is particularly hard when you have a naturally feminine style. I remember work uniforms and school uniforms used to be the absolute bane of my existence. I can specifically…
When I first viewed the photos of the Palace Hotel, I was very much drawn in by the look of their beautiful pool and fitness centre. In order to have the perfect balance in life, I try to rejoice in squeezing in as much usage of all gym facilities at hotels – even if I…

To fully experience the extravagance of the Garden Court in the Palace Hotel, one surely has to try their afternoon tea. I of course leapt at the opportunity to do so. Any moment to drown myself in tea and consume far too much sugar, then I am in. The highly fortunate weather created the most…
GHIRARDELLI ICE CREAM & CHOCOLATE SHOP After discovering Ghirardelli’s on my first day, it is safe to say that my sugar levels sky rocketed. Yet, I convinced myself, it is allowed as I am on holiday and there is a gym amenity at my hotel (even if I don’t use it.) My favourite was their…
On the first day of landing in San Fransisco, the sun was shining and I was beyond pleased when I reached the destination of where I would be staying.

I have always favoured Italian cuisine, not only for the exquisite flavours but the wide range of vegetarian dishes available. Acquerello has been on my list of Michelin Star restaurants I’d most adore to visit for a while now and after launching a social-media spy operation on Acquerello’s Instagram, I made the decision to spontaneously…
I know Valentine’s day has passed, which is the official celebratory of love but, as we all know, love is limitless, unconditional and should not be confined to one singular day of the year.

I have a slight soft-spot for this part of London as my old University Campus was at Somerset House. I find it is beautiful at all times of the year; the majestic icerink and Fortnum & Mason Mark, to the beautiful clean crisp landscape of the architecture in the Spring!
Whenever I travel to London, I always have to pop by one of my favourite destinations: Covent Garden. It is on the fringes of the West End, between Charing Cross and Drury Lane. It has the most delightful English charm, with the quaint cobbled streets and classic architecture one envisions when they think of London. The Royal…
We all see beautiful snow photographs on Instagram and I always ponder to myself about how cold the models must be. It is a classic case of Instagram vs reality, as what you do not see if a flask of hot chocolate, a warm coat or blanket and regular breaks in between shots. The key…
My quest to find London’s most charming hidden treasures starts with Feya cafe which is perfectly situated by St Christopher’s Place in Marylebone.

In my opinion, London is one of the greatest cities in the world for shopping but for fellow introverts like me, Christmas shopping can often seem like a daunting task. As soon as we reach December, London becomes bursting at the seems with masses of Christmas enthused individuals. I do believe there is such thing…
The first week of December has decided to bless us with cold fingertips, drizzling weather, umbrellas that are not designed for rain combat and of course, the sweet sounds of Christmas tunes that will eventually drive us all crazy. Nonetheless, to counteract all the above here are a few things that make this season as…
Waking up to a delivery of flowers has to be the most lovely experience in the world. Isn’t it ridiculous how cut flowers can bring such joy to a person’s mood? I once read a quote which explained how people tend to receive more flowers at their funeral, compared to their entire life. Though this is…
