Towpath

Vanessa and I went to Columbia Road Flower Market and then  had a lovely lunch at Towpath on Sunday. This is the best summer I’ve had in this country and I don’t want it to end.

How adorable is this guy? I spotted him on Primrose Hill on Saturday and had to take his picture.

Rough Luxe! dream job!

I had a pretty insane day yesterday. It involved a French male model, a dream encounter in a boutique hotel, an eco luxury bag company and about 300 photographs taken on film. And the best part is we’re doing it all again today. I can’t wait to tell you about it.

Day safari

Adam, Tarik and I have taken lunch safari to a whole new level. Last weekend we went on a day safari to Greenwich. We wandered around until we found a cute pub for lunch, we lay on the grass and climbed trees in Greenwich park, we had tea and scones with jam and cream and [...]

de beauvoir town

This is near where I live now. And have lived for a month. In a house that I love with people I adore and a garden Tarik describes as “erotic”. On the street where this photo was taken is an amazing Vietnamese restaurant and one of my favourite pubs in the world where I sat [...]

Nothing about something

Sometimes you have to choose to do nothing about something. This is mostly because doing something about something is hard and you know there is a 70/30 chance that something will lead to nothing. So by doing nothing about something, something stays nothing. The irony of this is that this is also hard. Maybe even [...]

I know I promised a photo onslaught but I’ve been too busy having fun to finish my rolls of film. Next week, my pretties. Next week.

For Me, For You guest post

I get jealous of other bloggers all the time. None more than the lovely Kate from For Me, For You. Not just because she is beautiful and stylish and funny but because she invented Bits Of My Weekend. For months now I’ve been scheming and plotting ways I can steal it and do my own [...]

London

Some random snaps from the last few weeks. The light here in summer in amazing. Actually, this whole city in summer is a sight to behold.

Liam Sparkes

These tattoos are crazy good (some just plain crazy). They’re all by Liam Sparkes who works at Shangri-La on Kingsland Road in Shoreditch. [via Liesl]

Banana Bread

One of my favourite things to eat and now one of my new favourite illustrators; I spotted the Banana Bread stall at the Backyard Market on Brick Lane yesterday and wanted to buy the lot.

My friend Stu got married this week. He met his long time love when she was his manager at the Burger King they worked at in their teens. More than a decade and two beautiful kids later, they’re finally tying the knot. I love how nothing these days is as straight forward as it used [...]

London love

Have you seen the vertical garden at the Anthropologie store on Regent Street? Or the totally rad quilt exhibition at Liberty? (And did you know that my middle name is Liberty, after the beautiful department store and its famous floral print?) Have you ever stood on the bridge over the duck pond at St James’s [...]

London Love

Just as you are beginning to doubt your feelings for it, London has this magnificent way of presenting itself: with valour and pride, so subteley that you won’t realise you’re falling in love again until you’re gone, breathless, drowning. Happy Valentine’s day. [Photos by me/Canon AE-1]

Snow

I didn’t open my curtains this morning and it wasn’t until I was at an open front door (with a wide open jaw) that I realised the snow was back in London. I took these on my lunch break.

The Book Club

This weekend at The Book Club I discovered I am as bad at table tennis as I’d always suspected. Sport in public equals certain humiliation. [photos by me]

Weekend

I am finally starting to feel better so this weekend I actually have plans: for the natural history museum, the best breakfast in town, for bead shopping and swimming and polaroids. I love this city! [photos via the Unicorn Diaries]

surprise picnic

What do you do when your best friend’s had a really crappy couple of weeks? You secretly plot with her boyfriend to organise a surprise picnic to cheer her up, of course! Luke and I took Vanessa to Richmond Park on Saturday. There were egg sandwiches, award ceremonies and bunnies! A perfect spring afternoon.

Lo-Fi London

I am always on the look out for new things to do in my beautiful new city. Today I discovered the fabulous Lo-Fi London, a guide to the capital through ‘Lomo Eyes’. And obviously through the eyes of someone with incredible taste in… well, pretty much everything. It’s been put together by Tommy of the [...]

The Elk in the Woods

I had breakfast in the loveliest restaurant yesterday. It’s called The Elk in the Woods and it’s in Islington, my new favourite part of London. The decor couldn’t have been more me (if I do say so myself…ahem), with pretty vintage wallpapers, wood paneling and a wall of mismatched mirrors. And in case you’re wondering, [...]
