The crisp scent of salt carried in the air. The roar of waves crashing on their first obstacle for 3,000 miles. The long stretch of blue meeting blue along the horizon. The powdery-soft sand sinking between toes. The pungent aroma of seaweed so strong you can almost taste it. Bathsheba is a small fishing village …
My intention for the first month of my new nomadic life was summed up in one word: indolence. Or, more appropriately for my locale: liming. (Liming is Bajan for chilling out, especially with friends, food and drinks.) I needed time to reset and re-evaluate given my new reality. Running around the island sightseeing and eating …
A change of location and climate are an opportunity to reinvent your personal style. Moving from London to Barbados at the beginning of January, overnight I switched from my uniform of chunky knits over skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots to bikinis under sundresses and sandals. The climate in Barbados is perfect – hot, sunny days …
Let’s call it a Flashback Friday. Back in October I flew from London to Seoul for four days to attend a work conference. To maximise my business trips I’ve always timed the flights to include a day or two of sightseeing. In Seoul my priority was skincare shopping, obviously, but I also wanted to see …
I relaunched this blog, and then promptly went and turned my life upside down, so now I’m back with this post! The seeds of this massive life upheaval were planted long ago. My obsession with travel runs deep, and for several years I daydreamed about running away to Cambodia to spend my days on a …

A few months ago I found myself wandering the streets of Beijing and Shanghai on a work trip. It wasn’t my first time in China, but it was the first time I really paid attention to the street style, and I was really enthusiastic about what I saw. I quickly fell in love with all …
I’ve really missed my series rounding up fashion week trends, guys. So, I just about relaunched my blog in time for Spring/Summer 2020 fashion month. As always it kicked off on the runways of New York. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t my favourite NYFW season. Usually I save a ton of photos of …
The air has changed in London. There is a breeze, carrying the scent of aged leaves through the shadowed streets. The sun is low in the sky, its warmth not quite reaching bare arms resistant to autumn’s layers. It’s always amusing to me to people watch at this time of year. Some walk down the …
Tap, tap, tap… Is this thing on? So, years have passed since I blogged here regularly. Life happened and things changed and I abandoned my little corner of creativity. But as the months rolled into years and the years multiplied I’ve really missed it. Finally the time is right to start a new chapter. I’ve …
