I don't remember when I first found out about vintage-inspired lingerie brand Mal Amora but it was definitely on Instagram, as I pretty much live there these days, and it was most likely when Karolina Laskowska shared a photo of a custom set back in January. I was excited to discover that, not only does... Continue Reading →
Review: ‘Ginger’ by Miss Vivienne
I love discovering the work of talented independent lingerie designers through recommendations from friends and so was very excited when, last month, I saw Tigz Rice mention Miss Vivienne on her Instagram stories. Not only are the designs stunning, with beautiful fabrics and details, but Vivienne Lynch also makes every piece to order in her... Continue Reading →
Review: Home hair colour by eSalon, part 2
Last month I shared part one of my eSalon hair colour review and now it's time for part two. After my first attempt, I decided that I loved the vibrant ginger colour that my ends had gone and so I adjusted my second eSalon order so that the copper blonde I received was a 9,... Continue Reading →
Review: Manners London
Last summer London got hot. Very hot! And not the good kind either. It got to the point where even the most dedicated bra-wearers amongst us were dreaming of a bra-free solution to the discomfort inflicted by those soaring temperatures.

Review: The Magnificent Sons by Justin Myers
I follow a lot of journalists on Twitter. If I like their writing style, their 'voice', I follow with an aim to read every piece of work that they share. Blog posts, articles in magazines, columns in newspapers, I absorb it all to the point where they start to feel like a friend. (Apologies to... Continue Reading →
Review: The Assistant
I've reviewed a few films on this blog, but I never thought I'd be adding one to the 'staying in' category until 2020 arrived with its global pandemic, lockdowns, and cinema closures! I was recently sent a preview link for The Assistant, which is written and directed by Kitty Green and is about an ambitious... Continue Reading →

As we're always getting asked which are our favourite brunch spots, to celebrate our first three years of brunching together we decided to go back through all our old reviews and select the ones we enjoyed the most. After much discussion, we decided that the best way to do this was to come up with... Continue Reading →

And so, on Sunday 14th April 2019, we headed to Chiltern Firehouse, 1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London W1U 7PA where we had booked a table to treat ourselves to... Continue Reading →
