Tea. Is there anything more quintessentially British? I’ve only lived here for a little over three years now, but I learned early on that the day doesn’t truly start until you’ve had your morning cuppa. That getting the ‘tea round’ right at a new job is akin to the initiation into a cult. That any bonding experience that has or…
Happy Gossip Girl Day, Upper East Siders! Yes, you read right. It may have been six years since the final episode of the most epic show of all time aired on screens across the world, but the 26th of January is still officially recognized as Gossip Girl Day in New York. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us fans…
I remember walking into work every morning and seeing a colleague sitting at her desk responding to emails, casually sipping on what looked…well, far too green and healthy for my liking. First of all – how did she always manage to get in before me? Secondly, what on EARTH is that thing she’s drinking? I was more of a slap…
I can’t believe its been eight years since I started my career in fashion. It feels like only yesterday that I finished university, took my first ridiculously high-heeled steps into the world of fashion magazines as an intern and also started my blog. My career isn’t exactly where I want it to be at the moment. Moving to a new…
Happy New Year, darlings! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to 2018. Me? I’m still trying to recover from 2017. A certain NYE party in 2017, more specifically. After a couple of days to get rid of my hangover, take down our Chrismas decorations and get my home and life back in order, I’m finally back at my…
Hello again! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas, full of love and laughter, and that you’ve been keeping up with (and enjoying!) my #CountdownToChristmas posts. I took a couple of days off to enjoy Christmas and Boxing Day with family and not have to deal with the pressure of self and brand-imposed deadlines this time of year. I…
Presents bought and wrapped. Tree decorated. Holiday cards written and posted. The only thing left on your to-do list? A little me-time, girlfriend! We get so caught up in making sure Christmas is perfect for our loved ones, we often drive ourselves crazy trying to do it and forget that ’tis the season to be jolly! So do everyone a…
Growing up in India, not too many people celebrated Christmas – Diwali was the name of the game, which, was the equivalent to Christmas over there. That being said, my mum and I would always have our own little Christmas celebration, together with some family friends who celebrated, too. We’d usually put up a tree together at the start of…
Christmas has gone from being right round the corner to practically upon us in the blink of an eye, and while I’ve thoroughly enjoyed decorating our tree whilst singing along to my epic Christmas playlist, wearing red lipstick, buying the coolest Christmas jumpers I could get my hands on, visiting the Christmas markets and buying the dogs candy cane shaped…
Christmas is wonderful, but as I’m sure you’ll know, it isn’t without its stressful moments. And as much as I love the build up to Christmas, some days, all the pressure of social obligations, entertaining and gift-buying make it a little less enjoyable and relaxing than it should be. However, nothing helps calm me down, center me and get me…
