Come Hallowe’en, I become obsessed by all things pumpkin pie. Even though I make (in my opinion) the best pumpkin pie, the Clever Boyfriend and my nearby friends hate the stuff, and thus I’m usually left to eat most of the thing myself. This means I have to limit myself to making it once a year (I don’t want an… View Post
Mulberry’s treat-or-treat
I don’t know whether it’s because my imagination was over-stimulated as a child, but I tend to get ridiculously excited by themed holidays, especially Hallowe’en. When I was younger, we lived in a great big ancient house, with high ceilings, chandeliers and furniture carved with lions heads; perfect for telling ghost stories and playing spooky games.

Ingredients for a perfect Cambridge weekend
I’m often asked my favourite things to do in Cambridge. I have many, but whenever I’m feeling run-down, uninspired, or just in need of some soul-restoration, I make every effort to stay here (rather than London) for the weekend where one can have adventures that feel simultaneously enriching and blissfully relaxing. Here is my list of ways to create the… View Post
London Fashion Week Spring/Summer ’11: Best in Show
While this might seem horribly late, I genuinely wanted to take time to reflect on all the shows I had seen at London Fashion Week. When attending Fashion Week, it sometimes seems all too easy to get caught up in the sensory excitement of some shows, yet when we step back and take a more considered look, it’s often the… View Post
Chanel Spring/Summer ’11
The invite I was waiting for the end of Paris Fashion Week to do a roundup of all my favourite shows, but regular readers will know that I love Chanel more than fashion itself*, and so I just couldn’t wait to share this hot off the (proverbial) press. For his latest catwalk extravaganza, Karl Lagerfeld filled his usual locale, the… View Post
The fashion pack & their fabulous shoes
Kate Lanphear (US Elle) and her Christian Louboutins I’m not sure what it is exactly, but it turns out I become a shoe paparazzi come Fashion Week. When street style photographers were madly snapping away at Vogue editors and posing bloggers, I was instead mostly distracted by the amazing footwear on parade (usually the first thing I notice about someone’s… View Post

London Fashion Week: Highlights pt.1
Sass & Bide S/S ’11 at the Royal Opera House While I have attended a few Fashion shows in the past, I’ve always wanted to have the complete Fashion Week experience. Well this season I was thrilled to have the rare and enormous opportunity to go to most of the on-schedule shows, go backstage to see the mayhem before the… View Post
Raspberry, parma and goat’s cheese salad
The last long days of Summer have this week definitely turned into the crisp days of Autumn. To me, that spells the end of long breezy evenings with the windows thrown open, long afternoons lazing by the river enjoying the smell of the grass (even though it makes me sneeze), and stone fruits and berries so juicy they trickle down… View Post
