If you’ve been reading my blog during 2018, you’ll probably know the top of my 2018 bucket list is mostly dominated by plans to travel. In fact, I even wrote a post about 5 locations I’m hoping to visit this year. So when an invited landed in my inbox to preview the newest pop-up at John Lewis, Oxford Street entirely dedicated to embracing poolside vibes I knew it was the ideal place to get some inspiration. Here’s a look at what I…

Sliders Curling Club at Roof East, Stratford || London
Read moreI don’t talk a great amount about my work on here, mostly as, I don’t really feel the need to. But, I will mention that whenever we hit a certain team target work will take us on a night out somewhere for a bit of team bonding. So, on that note, when we recently hit a target we booked out two lanes at Sliders Curling Club for an evening of mulled wine and curling. As I had my camera in…

Off The Wall and Onto The Plate – House Of Wallpaper || Food & Drink
Read moreIt’s no secret that I love food. I mean, 99% of the time that I’m not eating I’m thinking about what to eat next. So when my good friend Laura asked if I’d like to be her plus one to “Off The Wall and Onto The Plate” a tasting menu by Pedro Passinhas at Graham and Brown‘s House Of Wallpaper pop up. Well, I was excited to say the least. A chance to catch up while enjoying food from a…

A Trip The Roof Deck at Selfridges || London
Read morePreviously The Forest On The Roof, Selfridges has transformed it’s rooftop bar and restaurant The Roof Deck into a Californian inspired space perfect for the summer. So after arranging flowers at the Jurlique event, we decided it was way too much of a nice evening to head home straight away. Since we were on Oxford Street already, it seemed the perfect time to go and check out The Roof Deck at Selfridges. I make no secret of the fact in the summer…

La La Land at Rooftop Cinema Club, Bussey Building || London
Read moreI am, admittedly, my own worst enemy when it comes to films (and TV). I’m that kind of person who’s already Googled the plot outline before I get to the cinema and “TV Show Name Spoilers” after enjoying the first episode. But, one film that I managed to do this with and only want to see it more was La La Land. With that in mind, when my blogging buddy Sophie invited me along to see it at Rooftop Cinema Club at the…

The Wonderland Bar at Alice’s Adventures Underground || London
Read more“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Growing up, Alice in Wonderland was always one of my favourite Disney films. And, as I got older, the original Lewis Carroll book was up there with my most read. So since I’d spotted the Alice’s Adventures Underground show at the Waterloo vaults I’d been looking for an excuse to go. With finding the time (and someone who wanted to go to such an interactive show) somewhat difficult,…

HipChips – Crisps and Dip Restaurant, Soho || Food & Drink
Read moreWhen it comes to concept restaurants, it’s safe to say London has it’s fair share. From the Cereal Killer cafe serving up breakfast treats all day long to a pop-up serving five courses of avocado, there’s always something different to try. So when I saw that a new restaurant serving only crisps and dips was opening I knew I’d have to check it out. (& thought that would make a good blog post.) Anyway, last Sunday I headed down to…

Hello Kitty Afternoon Tea, Cutter and Squidge || Food & Drink
Read moreGrowing up, I loved Hello Kitty. Now, even though I’m in my twenties, I’ve still got a soft spot for anything related to Sanrio’s most famous feline. This is why, when browsing for another afternoon tea to go on with Amber, I let out an audible squeal when I saw Cutter and Squidge where doing a limited edition Hello Kitty afternoon tea. Thankfully, she was just as much of a fan as me and when we both had a free weekend, we booked a…
