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.
Toad in the Hole, what’s not to love? Golden baked sausages roasted in a light and crispy giant Yorkshire pudding. For vegetarians substitute with Linda McCarthney’s vegetarian red onion and rosemary sausages and add a little extra oil when cooking them.
If you are in Richmond, I highly recommend visiting Petersham Nurseries @petershamnurseries. It’s about a 15-minute walk along the River Thames. It’s beautiful throughout the year. I took my in-laws, and they loved it as they enjoy gardening and a cuppa with cake!
Tucked behind an iconic location – Buckingham Palace, The Guardsman Hotel @theguardsmanhotel is a beautiful 60-room boutique hotel. The interior design is exquisite yet cosy and warm. The ground-floor lounge leads you down a beautiful spiral staircase to the basement restaurant.
This Thai fish cake recipe is a family favourite. My super duper-talented friend May Simpkin made these for us when I had the pleasure to join her on a yoga retreat in the Loire Valley, in France. Please check out her website and Instagram, you’ll love everything this brilliant nutritionist stands for.
I’m so excited to bring to you some of my favourite pieces from this year’s new collection from Ambrose Wilson. I’m delighted they have asked me to collaborate with them again.
We recently had a two-night stay at @thefigrye The Fig is an independent, lively café with four beautiful rooms. The focus is on fresh, vibrant healthy food. The grub is utterly divine, we wiped our plates clean every time. We’d go back in a heartbeat just to eat at The Fig. No chips or ketchup but the teens devoured every dish.
We had a delicious family supper at @sticksnsushi.uk at White City, near the entrance of Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush. It’s their tenth restaurant in the UK and it didn’t disappoint!
Enjoy an unmissable after dark spectacle of lights at RHS Garden Wisley @rhswisley this festive season.
