There is always something new to see and read on my blog, especially Instagram. As a multi-award-winning personal stylist in London and Surrey, I cover a wide range of things that interest me, focused mainly around the following: exploring interiors + art + architecture + style + fashion + travel + food + things that touch my imagination daily.
Beyond the streets of London pays homage to the colourful and monumental moments from the words of graffiti, street, art, hip-hop and punk rock and the artists who immortalised events. From painting trains to social activism, clothes, and soundtracks. The exhibition takes over the entirety of the iconic Saatchi Gallery, examining how this cultural narrative shift is the public’s perception of underground art and culture, leading to a global creative revolution.
If you happen to find yourself in Shoreditch, East London, I would highly recommend a visit to @apothecaryeast Apothecary East is a Tokyo-inspired tavern with Shoreditch energy, serving handcrafted cocktails, rare spirits, beers, wine and Japanese-style small plates.
Last week was a double first: the first time I’d ever been to the ballet and the first time I’d stepped into The Royal Opera House, in the heart of London’s Covent Garden.

I first had this delicious salad at book club made by fellow book clubber Rosie, and it was a recipe from Waitrose. I’ve adapted it to make it more flavoursome.
Cauliflower and chickpeas are roasted with fragrant garam masala to give this veg-packed salad a gently spiced warmth. I like to serve it with roast chicken, pizza or salmon.
The South West Coast Path offers (SWCP) 630 miles or 1,014 km of stunning coastal walking around the entire South West peninsula. Depending on where you start, you cover the Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, North Devon and Exmoor coastline.
A classic vegetarian recipe that is so easy to make and my recipe has gone around the world! Over the years, I’ve emailed it to friends who have enjoyed cooking it on repeat. It’s an Indian staple dish and every Indian kitchen has lentils and pulses. I cook it at least once a week. I love this vegetarian and vegan recipe; it’s so healthy – lots of protein, very little fat, and it tastes better the next day.
Located moments from Liverpool Street Station, Pan Pacific London’s @panpacificlondon signature restaurant Straits Kitchen has launched a Winter Sunday Roast set menu – a Singaporean take on the traditional Sunday roast. It was a culinary experience we won’t forget. Excellent service and the staff were terrific.
This book is packed with helpful, clear, pictorial information, including maps. The book describes the Highgate to Hampstead walk as “a long hilly walk across London’s Northern Heights.” It’s about 7 miles. Our copy is outdated as it mentions shops, buildings and roads that no longer exist!
I love this dish; super healthy and delicious as a generous slab the next day as leftover lunch on the go or for supper. You can add any vegetables you’ve got in the fridge. I’ve made this with peas, courgettes, broccoli, peas, spinach and cauliflower.
