Renaissance: Seeing Beyonce in concert

As my absolute favourite artist of all time, it was non-negotiable that we went to see Beyonce in London as part of her Renaissance world tour. This is me sitting outside the stadium waiting to be let in, and realising that I absolutely should’ve upped my outfit game, because everyone was dressed in the most […]

Celebrating my birthday 2023

My birthday this year was SO good, and I’m still beaming about it as I write this. After the big party I threw last year, this year called for something more private and reserved. I decided to stay overnight in Central London, at the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, and indulge in 2 of my favourite […]

A Festive Afternoon tea at The Ritz!

It is our tradition to do a festive afternoon tea at a Central London hotel just before Christmas. Last year, it was Fortnums, and in previous years we have also done The Savoy and The Sanderson. But, I have never ever ever been to The Ritz for an afternoon tea so this year, this was […]

Afternoon tea on the British Belmond train

This weekend, Lu and I travelled down to Victoria station to take a very special train – the British Belmond Pullman train – for a round trip around the Kent countryside whilst enjoying a luxurious afternoon tea! Belmond are known for their hyper luxurious experiences so I was very much looking forward to what promised […]

Review – Afternoon Tea at The Berkeley

I was super excited to go to an afternoon tea at the luxurious Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, not least because the hotel is lovely, but because the afternoon tea there is excitingly fashion themed called Pret-a-Portea! Cute! Putting two of my favourite things together sounded like a no brainer, so I enlisted my friend Angelica […]

Staying at the best suite at The Beaumont

For Lu’s birthday, I whisked her away into Central London for a weekend of pampering, good food, shopping and cocktails! We stayed at The Beaumont primarily because of its fantastic proximity to the shops but with still feeling like its tucked away in a private corner of London. A cool thing about The Beaumont is […]

Hakkasan is a Cantonese restaurant famed for its dim sum, beautiful cocktails and […]

Review – Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon at Fortnum & Mason

Our friend Katie is getting married in a couple of weeks, and so to celebrate her with a little mini hen situation, we whisked her into central London to enjoy a beautiful Fortnum & Mason’s afternoon tea. First off, a disclaimer. We visited Fortnum & Mason during the height of Christmas shopping fever, so the […]

Taking a Pottery class

As a designer who makes digital artifacts all day long, I’m always drawn hugely to making things with my hands, and so for me, doing pottery feels hugely aspirational and exciting. Whilst making something out of clay has been on my life list for the longest time, somehow I had never gotten round to it, […]

Review – Palm Court at the Langham

I used to work around the corner from The Langham hotel and would walk past it twice a day, trying to peek in to see the splendour inside (and of course celeb-watch!) I had heard great things about the afternoon tea there, and so, as a mid-year pick-me-up, we decided to pop in to sample […]
