Tweed Run
Last month in the midst of my clean eating challenge I went to support some friends doing the Tweed Run. Now as a typically British event, it’s not a run… It’s a cycle, but you do have to dress in Tweed to take part. Everyone takes this to heart and the costumes are amazing, with…
New Sunglasses for Summer!
Today I’m sharing with you my new sunglasses. I think summer has finally come and so these are now a necessity.

Girls dinner @ Maze
The girls and I have decided to start a dinner club – we basically look for the best deals at the best restaurants London has to offer and then take full advantage! This month we headed to Maze – part of Gordon Ramsay’s portfolio – on Grosvenor Square. The deal was from Open Table –…
Camden Brunch @ Market *now closed*
Edit – Market is now closed <sad face> Wandering up Parkway in Camden the other weekend, Laura and I came across Market. It’s a cute little restaurant with a focus on seasonal local produce. I’ve eaten there before – in their private room for a friends birthday dinner, but I didn’t know they did brunch…
