Wimbledon with Nikon Coolpix S9500

Published by

He only went and did it! As soon as Nadal and Federer crashed out in the first and second rounds, whispers started to circulate that this might actually be the year for Murray to break the barrier and become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry, 77 years ago. And yesterday he did just that – CONGRATULATIONS MURRAY! I was at Wimbledon on what was dubbed as Wipeout Wednesday by the press and I was on Centre Court to watch Federer crash out to Stakhovsky. I secretly wanted Federer to win but was glad that I got to witness such a fantastic match and a sterling performance from a player that I had never even heard of before. A couple of days before, I was provided with a Nikon Coolpix S9500 to take with me so that I could get a few snaps of the action. I had wanted a smart camera for a while and with this one, it’s so easy to share high quality images and videos via Wi-Fi to …

Slap, Snip and Dry – Headmasters, Mayfair

Published by

You may have seen my up do by Headmasters for the awards ceremony that I attended a few weeks ago. I loved it so much that I decided to head back to the salon to get my colour done. Headmasters in Mayfair is the perfect salon – a laid back atmosphere with friendly staff and lovely refreshments. I was there to see Sian who would be looking after me for the afternoon. We decided on a colour together and she set to work. Following the application, I was taken downstairs to have the colour washed out and was surprised to see the huge basement floor before my eyes. One thing I love about Headmasters is the way that one person looks after you for the duration of your appointment. The staff are skilled at everything so you don’t need to strike up different conversations with new people every half an hour. Sian took a look at my hair and decided that she loved the length so she just wanted to tidy it up a bit. …

Hoxton Street Market – I Love It

Published by

Recently I came across Hoxton Street Market and I have to say, I rather like it. I was there for the opening party a few weeks ago and it was great to see people dancing in the streets while enjoying the range of delicious street food on offer. I tried out an amazing Korean salad from Korrito – a Korean/Mexican fusion stall whose signature dish is a Korean Burrito. But this is no new market. Hoxton Street market has been trading since 1687 but the new stalls are injecting a bit of new life into the street. Head down on a Saturday and you will find food stalls such as Cannon’s British charcuterie and Hoxton Bakery, alongside beautiful homewares, vintage fashion and handcrafeted accessories including handspun yarns from Sheep of Steel, vintage clothing from Aurelia Dupas and Juan is Dead’s collectables from the afterlife.

Belgo Lobsterfest Starts Today! #Lobzilla

Published by

Last night I attended the launch of the annual Belgo Lobsterfest (#lobzilla) at Belgo Centraal in Covent Garden. We were treated to a lobster preparation demonstration by Muir Picken, Executive Chef, before feasting on lobster cocktail to start, followed by Lobzilla (whole grillied lobster, French fries, aioli and salad) for main. I wasn’t drinking but the rest of the guests looked more than impressed with the wide selection of beers that Belgo’s resident Master of Beer, Skender Ramadani, was recommending from the brand new Beer Bible (which includes a range of over 50 Belgian beers!) Kicking off today, Belgo’s Lobsterfest will run until the end of August with limited edition menu featuring three lobster based dishes. For the first time, Belgo has teamed up with the Padstow based National Lobster Hatchery, to support their “Buy One Set One Free” initiative and will donate £1 from each dish sold to  the campaign. Their work helps to conserve vulnerable lobster populations, preserve marine biodiversity and safeguard our fishing and seafood industry. The Limited Edition dishes are: • …
