Recently, I was lucky enough to do three afternoon teas within seven months. However, it was unlucky enough that two of these were farewell occasions. (Note to self, stop hanging out with people who leave!! Another note to self, keep those boot camp sessions, tennis lessons, netball training going…)...

Think about what you dislike about tween shopping, and well, for yourself also. Busy change rooms, searching for outfits, finding someone to help you, queuing (with tweens in tow!)… Well, I’ve found something better. And when I say better, I mean an experience that just makes it easy, even...

I ADORE stationery! I could rummage around a stationery shop and trawl through websites like bureaudirect.com or even Amazon.com for hours on end – I don’t even have to buy anything. I just love stationery! Strangely though, I am always short on pens, staplers, pencils and erasers at home. Weirdly, my...

Many years ago, whilst living in London, footloose and fancy free without kids (we call those times BC, i.e. “Before Children”), the Man and I discovered this little hidden gem, surreptitiously tucked away in a wee, cobbled lane in Soho – strictly two persons walking abreast. Needless to say,...

I think most of us who have visited New York City (NYC) may have done the iconic Brooklyn Bridge walk. We even made the kids do it with us one time (we weren’t too popular that day). It was similar to the day we made them walk across another iconic bridge, the...

Whenever I think of Brooklyn, I think of Kate Spade, you know “Cobble Hill’, “Cedar St”, “Cameron St” … or maybe, it’s because I’m slightly obsessed with handbags (and shoes). However, whilst I’ve heard of these places by living my life vicariously through handbags – interesting idea – I’ve...

What do you do on your first day in New York City (NYC)? Shop of course! Okay, really we had an excuse. We had flown into NYC on Sunday during the day and had to stay awake until bedtime so we spent the rest of the day walking and walking and walking....
