Did Damien Hirst Just Get Affordable?!
While I’m hardly a New York scene kid, I do fancy myself a tad artistic, so when I read in last month’s Vogue that famed BritPop artist Damien Hirst had opened a new store/gallery of more affordable pieces in NYC I had to check it out. So I headed downtown to the SoHo store and … Continue reading Did Damien Hirst Just Get Affordable?!
June Favourites
Surely June 2014 will go down as the month of absolutely insufferable heat! It was averaging out at 30°C a day in New York, which for me - coming from London where the highest we get is around 23°C - was close to torture! Add to that my lack of an A/C unit and you … Continue reading June Favourites
Lazy Hair Day Essentials
A couple of years ago, when I spent my first summer in New York City, I discovered why most people who can afford it flee the metropolis after Memorial Day.

April Obsessions
They say that March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers… Well, in that case the next four weeks had better be blooming florescent, because the past month in New York has been absolutely miserable. A spattering of sunshine between gloomy skies, torrential downpour, and even a spot of unseasonal snow - this definitely … Continue reading April Obsessions
Easter Treats
Easter is one of the tastiest times of the year, and my personal favourite food holiday (probably because I'm a bit of a chocoholic...) Plus there's all the religion and winter is over, spring is coming, let's frolic like lambs in a field -ness. To celebrate the holiday (which starts with Good Friday this … Continue reading Easter Treats
March Beauty Obsessions
As well as my reviews and big, bold ideas, I also do love pretty little things like… beauty products! In fact, it’s a bit of an obsession, as my Sephora VIB card will testify. Each month I’ll be sharing a round-up of my personal beauty obsessions, starting today with my March products! Have you used … Continue reading March Beauty Obsessions
Homemade Chocolate Hearts
Sometimes there’s nothing better than homemade treats, so today I thought I’d share an idea for a few variations on chocolate hearts. They’re delicious, easy to make, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, they make a great thrifty gift! Step One: You can use any moulds to make these chocolates, but I’m using mini silicone … Continue reading Homemade Chocolate Hearts
