Last weekend was my first time in New Forest. It seemed so wonderfully full of wildlife and peace. The Bell Inn is a charming rustic hotel with a food menu to die for and a place I'd definitely recommend others to visit. Pack your wellies, warm coats and get ready for some escapism.
Having just returned from Costa Rica, the first couple of weeks back working were rather tiresome to say the least. The laborious task of catching up on over 3,000 emails, voicemail messages and and tax return conversations with my accountant had me feeling like I needed another break. So when I saw the new package at Champneys that helps to combat that festive indulgence and refresh ones self, I couldn’t resist checking in for some…
With A Pure Balance Retreat Don’t Expect A Spa So those who follow me on Instagram would have seen some of the most incredible pictures from a recent weekend retreat. The venue? Hillerson House. Surrounded by 200 acres of land there’s plenty of woodland, lakes and deer (no, really) to help calm your mind and offer that true ‘escapism’ from the hustle and bustle of London. Don’t expect a spa resort because this is something else,…
I enjoy good food. Love great wine. I live in the city but am from the country so I crave the green scenery once in a while. I’m pretty easy to please. Unfortunately it’s often rare to find a place that combines everything I adore without fault and one that offers a relaxing experience for a break away. After a heavy five days partying in Las Vegas (post coming soon), feeling enormously jet lagged Daniel and…
Next to one of London’s most prestigious Royal Parks (Green Park), is The Stafford Hotel. Established in 1912, it’s a stately, five-star picture-perfect venue. Complete with a palatial restaurant and plenty of tradition, the hotel also offers a beautifully relaxed cobbled courtyard for guests to enjoy a spot of lunch. What’s really special is the American Bar that offers some superb cocktails. If luxury is what you’re after, you’ll struggle to exceed the quality of The Stafford. The…
HOW TO DO AN OVERNIGHT STAY ON LONDON’S HERTFORD STREET Mayfair has always been the most unique and affluent part of London. Not only does it have the largest concentration of luxury five start hotels in London, it’s also peppered with private members clubs and michelin star restaurants. Add in the most incredible fashion designers and opulent beauty stores and you have yourself a fashionista’s heaven on earth. Just a stones throw from my day office Vogue…
Packing for a surprise trip can sometimes be so difficult, especially if you don’t know where you’re going. If the brief is ‘hot’, ‘casual’ but with a hint of ‘party’ for that special night out (like my birthday), then we know to bring a swimsuit (a few), maxi’s and a cool pant/top combo. That will always be enough. Us girls like options, so doubling up on outfits is always a good idea. So on a…
An Aperitif at Waldorf Astoria’s Rome Cavalieri On Instagram and Twitter you’ll have seen that I’ve been spending the past couple of weekends away; Morocco this weekend, Rome last. At 40 degrees and with its spicy scent, Morocco is a huge cultural contrast to the chic weekend spent with my family in Italy. Palatial Reception Desk at Rome Cavalieri Those who’ve read my engagement story from last year will know that Rome is a special place for me. Not only is it…
You’ll know from my recent reviews how important I believe weekend breaks to be when you’re living in London and battling against the rat race every day. I used to think a weekend break wasn’t a trip away unless it was abroad (I’ve been to Amsterdam about four or five times). However, recently I’ve come to see just how marvellous the UK actually is. The quintessential English weekend away has quickly become my preferred way to relax. So…
When you live in London, it’s so easy to adapt to the concrete jungle. High rise buildings, traffic on Regents Street, people everywhere… But remember, human beings aren’t designed to live that way and it’s amazing how it can affect you in a negative way. Being from Wales, I’m fortunate that I can visit my family there whenever and when I do, I always come back more relaxed and calm. With the trees, hillsides and big gardens…
I’d studied Google images, chatted to my Venetian for tips and even consulted the Natwest Concierge service for some recommendations on what to do in Venice before we had arrived. It wasn’t so much knowing what to do though, the difficulty lay in actually getting there. A total surprise for Daniel’s mum, we managed to check in, board the same plane, fly to Italy, get off and get through the other side without being seen. A…
So the time had finally come for us to head to the luxurious Bank House Spa in Worcester for a much needed – and dare I say, romantic – weekend break. This was set to be our celebratory, happy three year anniversary slash Valentines Day treat and I couldn’t wait to down phones and dip my toe in the jacuzzi together. Well, I did check that they had WIFI before hand, you know, ‘just incase’. Oh and I…
Money is commonly known to not buy happiness; but it can buy you is a beautiful statement piece of clothing and that’s pretty close. When it comes to finding the ideal London Fashion Week outfit, there’s no better place to go shopping than on the famous streets of Chelsea, London. Whilst well-known for its established high-end retailers from Burberry to Louis Vuitton, Chelsea has quietly undergone a rebirth and found a new niche with its…
