It’s official: England has gone Royal Wedding crazy. And I’m not going to lie… I love it! (Much to the Clever Boyfriend’s horror). Between the Union Jacks currently fluttering above the entire length of Regent Street, the bunting which fills every shop window in the land, the unashamedly kitch souvenirs, being able to see the venue itself (Westminster Abbey) from… View Post
The Two Faces of Berlin: Gritty Chic & Secret Treasures
Like I said in my previous post on the subject, Berlin is a strange and wonderful city which seems to present two dichotomous sides to itself. The first is one of a classic European capital, steeped in the history of wars and Empire, and boasting pioneers in the arts and sciences, while the second is that of the counter-cultures which have… View Post

The Two Faces of Berlin: European Romanticism
I do realise speedy reportage is not, demonstrably, my strong point – it has been, after all, 2 whole weeks since I returned from my trip to Berlin with the Clever Boyfriend. Yet Berlin proved to be one of those strange and mysterious cities that needed to simmer at the back of my mind for a time before I could… View Post

The Oxfam Curiosity Pop-Up Shop
Last Thursday, feeling quite fed up with a week of hospital tests and a day job and a house move in between, I decided to haul myself off my proverbial sick bed and make a pilgrimage to Selfridges (surely the Mecca of shopping in London) to join the always fabulous Liberty London Girl for a spot of vintage dress-ups. The… View Post
New Additions
The most adorable new Chanel flats, perfect for long walks all over London and bike rides through the cobbled streets of Cambridge. Aren’t they just begging to be taken to Paris in the Springtime? Please forgive my blogging hiatus this week; since I returned from Berlin late last week, I’ve been in a hectic whirlwind. I’ve packed up my house… View Post

Postcard From Moscow
It’s so strange to think that just last week I was in Moscow; it now feels like an entire world away. I can unquestionably say it was one of the most interesting, exotic adventures I’ve ever had (and the fact that I was whisked there for a mere 48 hours by the lovely people at Mango only made it seem… View Post

In the Bag: Russian Edition
Since everyone seems to love these posts so much, it seemed only appropriate to do one in Moscow. Regular readers may recall that when I had my Chanel 2.55 bag stolen last year, one of the reasons I was so distraught was that it had travelled the world with me & thus had enormous sentimental value – one of my… View Post

Mango in Moscow: The Spring/Summer ’11 Show
As those who follow me on Twitter will know, on Wednesday evening I was thrilled to find myself in Russia for the Mango Spring/Summer ’11 fashion show.* To celebrate their enormous expansion plans this year (they are set to open in excess of a new store each day, with Russia and China firmly in their sights), Mango marked the occasion with… View Post
From Russia, With Love…
As I write this, I’m sitting in a grand old hotel in Moscow – a relic from another era – watching the snowflakes fall outside. I’m here on a whirlwind 48-hour fashion adventure (more on this later) – something which in itself feels terribly exotic. For me, Russia – Moscow in particular – has always held the lure of the… View Post
