BEST OF ENEMIES- A REVIEW
Put David Harewood in anything and I will watch, I miss him on Homeland when I rewatch, and I purposely do not watch the episode where he dies. Can’t bear it. He is an exceptional actor and so you will find in the play Best of Enemies that is currently in London until the 18th…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

Christmas Windows- Worthy Mentions
Outside of the big 5 windows I like to check in on a few stores that typically go all out for the holidays, there a strip on New Bond street just up the road from Fortnums’ that is absolutely the most delightful for a Christmas feel. It feels like you are in a little village…

EATS- AKOKO, MAYFAIR
Innovation with a nod to tradition; I do love when chefs take risks with tastes and harness it into something daring and well… innovative. Akoko is such a place. Ten courses or so we had of the tasting menu, plate after plate of beautifully plated and splendidly delicious food. Located in Mayfair; check on that,…

WINDOWS- FORTNUM & MASON
Nowhere does tradition like Fortnum’s and no one ever will. From the advent calendar façade that lights up the store during the holidays to the chiming of the clock at the top of the hour, that brings out Messrs Fortnum and Mason to perform for the adoring crowd below. Everything about this feels like a…

THE WINDOWS- HARRODS
I typically don’t post my favourite windows first, but what the hell I am too giddy about this window and quite surprised by my absolute adoration for it because it is a single brand, layered yet single story windows, encased in gingerbread format absolute high fashion and I LOVE it. Harrods entire façade has been…
