TRAVEL DIARIES & FOOD/ An English gal in New York…where to eat

I think of myself as a bit of a food connosiour - if there's good food to be had, I will find it!

TRAVEL DIARIES/ An English gal in New York…Where to stay

Armed with comfy clothes, sensible shoes and a massive bag for all the goodies I was sure we'd… Continue reading FOOD/ Great British Food Festival (2017)

FASHION/ My style evolution: 1999 – present 

I've enjoyed these posts that have been doing the rounds lately, so thought doing my own would be a great way to look back on the past 18years (eek!) to see what has changed and what I still like.  When I think back through my childhood, I probably could have started this post much earlier… Continue reading FASHION/ My style evolution: 1999 – present
