Last week I had the pleasure of attending a fun event at the Bull & Gate pub in Kentish Town, North London. I joined Viking office supplies for an evening of sonnet writing and calligraphy, to celebrate Shakespeare Week which is coming up next month. Having never written a sonnet or practiced calligraphy, it’s safe…
I stopped by Underbelly Festival Southbank, in London last week to try Rekorderlig’s new Botanicals range of cider. The summer pop-up brings some of the best entertainment to the capital with a variety of shows available for all of the family throughout the summer, featuring live circus, comedy and cabaret. Plus, the festival offers a…
This year I had the pleasure of attend Taste of London, thank you to the team at The King’s Ginger. It’s hard to believe (being the foodie that I am), but this was my first experience of Taste. I had heard great things from many fellow food bloggers, but hadn’t had the chance to see…
Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to join the team at Megabus on a sightseeing tour of London. Although I’ve lived in the capital for just over three years, I’ve surprisingly, never been on an open top bus tour. It’s funny because you always consider those types of activities as being for tourists, but actually…
Last month I had the pleasure of joining Pandora for an evening tea at The Ritz in central London, to celebrate their new collection. Designed with friendship in mind, the evening was a fantastic way of bringing many likeminded influencers together, some who I met for the first time that night, and others who I…

Last weekend, my best friend Millie and I took a trip down south, to spend the weekend in Brighton. Millie used to live in Brighton when we were in our early twenties, so the trip brought back a lot of memories. It was great to explore the seaside town with her again, re-visiting some of…
Last week I experienced my very first Thanksgiving dinner, hosted by the wonderful Brad McDonald, in conjunction with French’s mustard. Myself, and a wonderful group of food writers and bloggers, were treated to an incredible feast of the most delicious foods. It was a very memorable experience and had me wishing that we had a…
This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to attend my very first London Fashion Week show, on behalf of Sunglass Hut, who are the principal sponsor of the event. I was fortunate enough to be offered two tickets for David Koma show on Sunday afternoon, and so I decided to take my good friend Chloe…
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you may have seen that I was in Paris last week. And when I say ‘may have’, I really you ‘must have’ because I couldn’t stop talking about it!! (Sorry about that). For two magical days last week I whisked off to the French capital with brand…
If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (sweetmonday) you may have seen that I attended Citadel Festival in Victoria Park yesterday. Stew and I were invited along on behalf of tequila brand Jose Cuervo who had a pop up #TequilaTown located in the heart of the festival. With DJs spinning some classic tunes and…
