Favourite hangout in Autumn/Winter?

Cocomaya, 3 Porchester Place W2 2BS

 

With the autumnal weather, comes the urge to cosy up indoors and satisfy your craving for hot drinks and freshly baked pastries.

SNEAK PEEK: WARDROBE DRESS PICKS

 
 
"Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess." is the saying by Edna Woolman Chase. There's no arguing the truth in this statement. I'm a true believer in being comfortable in what you wear, expressing yourself through fashion as an art form. It's all well and good being inspired by celebrity style and looks from off the runway, but one must learn to interpret them and make it true to their own. Once you find your signature style, tailored to your tastes and personality, there is nothing more satisfying than knowing how to dress for yourself. A style that is personal and unique to you & you only.

LOVE FROM PARIS: WHISTLE STOP GUIDE & HIDDEN GEMS

A weekend away to Paris seemed like the perfect getaway from London so almost two weeks ago, my friend, Amber & I packed our bags and jumped on the Eurostar, in desperate need of a short break from our lives back home here in London. Paris is one of my favourite cities having spent at least one week of every summer there ever since I was a little girl. It's tradition and one that will never grow old. If you've never been, go. If you already have, I don't think you need me to tell you to go again!

GUIDE: FINDING A COFFEE TABLE


 
When it comes to choosing the perfect coffee table for the living room, in theory it should be a mighty difficult task. The desired coffee table needs to be practical yet stylish and in keeping with the ambience and theme of the rest of the room. It can often be thought of the statement piece of the room, shedding some light and a subtle hint to the home owner's personal style, taste and character.
