WHEN IN TOM'S KITCHEN - Made in Chelsea

Yummy Yummy Yummy 

A bustling room filled with the aroma of gorgeous fresh food and a buzzing atmosphere. This is Tom's Kitchen. 

Let me set the scene for you. You wander down Cale Street, a little Chelsea Borough street on a warm autumnal day, kicking the auburn leaves from under your feet and letting the fresh yet warm rays of sun smile on your face. ( how very very poetic of me! and now on another note:) 

A trendy neighbourhood filled with look a like cast members of Made in Chelsea. You are literally on the set of the show, wandering around the gorgeous surroundings of the royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea Darling! 

You wander into Tom's Kitchen as if you have wondered into a good friends home and you are popping round for brunch. From English breakfast to gold old hearty meals Tom's Kitchen is a must go to destination to hang with friends and family on those relaxing weekends. It feels as if it is your local, that you have always been there and everyone is totally relaxed!

The day has come. The day that I have longed for, for so long. COS brings its wonderful fashion to the world wide web! I can sleep well at night knowing that no matter where I am in the world, I can go online and quench my COS thirst, by adding something to my virtual shopping bag and purchasing online.

Going online and skimming through the simple online store, you can't help but add to bag on a continual basis. It is as if COS has wondered into my house and allowed me to shop now and save for later in my wardrobe.

WHEN IN DARYL K - Right on trend

The Soho independent Fashion Gallery 

Imagine if you could turn your wardrobe into an art gallery. High ceiling walls, all white, lots of natural light coming through the windows and situated into the hip area of the city, full of trendy downtown studios and people who enjoy organic coffee and ciabattas. This is Daryl K. A little boutique on Bond street NYC which showcases simple, yet cutting edge designs. Simple silhouettes, with mixtures of wool and leather, netting and chiffon, Daryl K is right on the money when it comes to what is in trend.


There is that element of masculine vs. feminine, with that soft touch for floating fabrics which drapes on the body. Similar colour schemes emulating the seasons vibe, and a real significant touch on todays trends.

This is a must visit When in New York

I'm cool and I'm happy 
I'm trendy but I'm kind 
I'm chic but I'm unique, yeah 
I'm high but I'm grounded 
I'm sane but I'm fashion forward
I'm in the know and I'm hopeful baby 

What it all comes down to 
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is giving a high five

When in Lotus Privilege - Something out of an old movie

Marlene Dietrich's swing pad! 

Imagine you had stepped through a time portal and on the other side awaited the exotic time of the 20s, featured in Marrakech when continents where so far apart from each other and crossing boarders was a luxury. This is what it feels like to step through the doors of the Lotus Privilege in Marrakech.

You enter through dark alley way ( something out of Indiana Jones) and through a door the size of a wooden house ( something out of Lord of the Rings) and into a world of modern comforts with oriental twist. A world of black and white and a splash of bright colour, filled with mirror mosaic and glass, wood and velvet and all you want to do is fox trot your way through the courtyard like a dance from a Fred Astaire movie.

If Marlene Dietrich had a house in Marrakech then this is what it would look like. All the masculine/feminine fashionable features you could dream of and done with such elegance and poise.

Even if you are not staying at the riad for your trip you must try their taster menu dining experience. 7 beautifully prepared dishes, all mini and bite size gourmet cuisine, yet you feel filled and complete at the end of your night and you wish only to sit but the crystal blue plunge pool and listen to the cool water wonder.

This is a must visit of must dine When in Marrakech


If you went here for a night or more 
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door 
Why don't you do right, like some other people do? 
Get out of here and try this riad too

I fell for your jivin' and I took you in 
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin 
Why don't you do right, and try this riad too 
Get out of here and get and try this riad too Why don't you do right, and try this riad too  
and try this riad too
