Stylish Family Travel and Fashion Blog London Mum (Ex Luxury Travel PR)
If you need an injection of style inspiration but can’t afford an actual stylist and signing up to a high street personal shopper is not your bag, then read on. Last week I discovered the glorious treasure trove of independent labels and style advise at Richmond boutique, Feather & Stitch.Tucked away in a pretty little lane just off Richmond Green in South West London is a cosy little corner of
We’ve definitely been getting a lot cosier in our household lately. Blankets in front of the TV, candles on…my neighbour even lit a fire the other night which we all sat round while drinking red wine, it was so nice – living the Hygge dream! If you didn’t know what ‘Hygge’ is, it’s the Danish art of being cosy – surrounding yourself in a relaxed and warm environment. With summer
I just wanted to share some of the beauty products I have been using lately. Some I have discovered recently and others have been old faithfuls in my beauty bag. As I have got older my skin, eyebrows, eyelashes and lips have all changed and I’ve found I’ve had to look for products to counteract these changes. Unfortunately there is nothing glamorous about it – if you’re finding you’re eyelashes are
It’s officially sock weather. You know how I feel about the cold but nevertheless I have no choice but to embrace Autumn. This also means a cosier wardrobe for Rex. He has had a massive growth spurt recently and barely fits into any existing clothes and so I’ve been slowly buying a few bits here and there – a mixture of high street and a few independent brands. It all takes time
I have featured Mallorca a lot on my blog because we go there every year for two months with Ross’s work. At the end of his stint we take a week out to have a holiday together as a family. There are some gorgeous Airbnbs in Mallorca and I personally find it more relaxing to be in accommodation where we can do our own thing. This time we stayed in a
Golden Chocolate Eggs, Lemon and White Chocolate Cake Pops and Rhubarb and Custard Candy Floss…did you know that 14th to 20th August is Afternoon Tea Week? Nope, neither did I but what a perfect excuse to indulge in one of the coolest afternoon teas in London – the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea at the gorgeous One Aldwych Hotel. I think you either love or hate afternoon tea
I’ve always been proud of my Chinese heritage and spent most of my years growing up around the delicious street food of Singapore. Now I have my son, who is a quarter chinese, I’m keen to keep our heritage alive and show him all the cool things Chinese culture has to offer. Eating is a big part of asian living and so when Royal China invited us to go and eat some
It is not easy living in one of the world’s most fast paced cities – London. Always at the forefront of everything, not least fashion, I find it really hard when I am there not to get caught up in the whirlwind of consumerism. This year I have been away for a while and through not having a permanent address, my shopping habits have had no other choice but to
Any hotel that includes the word ‘nap’ in its name sounds perfect to me and on this promise alone, Casa La Siesta can deliver. There is of course more. The hotel’s family weeks are, I believe, what every parent dreams of having in a good holiday. Rural luxury, good food, round the clock childcare, peace with a little town just 10 minutes away if you fancy a spontaneous nightcap…because you can.Casa La
The words ‘sale’ and ‘discount’ have unfortunately never featured highly in my shopping vocabulary. I’ve always liked all the new season (expensive) stuff. As with many things however, motherhood has changed my shopping habits…and I’m starting to think it’s for the better. I buy more online to save time and whilst I still love all the latest fashion, I really would rather have items that will last, both in a fashion sense
