LLG Fashion: Golden Lane Handbags

March 13, 2013 Accessories

I am very jaded where the subject of handbags is concerned. Every season there is something new, something shiny, something vereeee expensive that magazines tell us is the dernier cri. I’ve almost given up on investing in handbags, and just carry around a pouch or something tiny with the bare essentials in it: I recommend […]

LLG Fashion: Emily London Hat at the Longines Prix de Diane, Chantilly, France

June 20, 2012 Accessories

One of the things I love about Suzannah’s eponymous boutique in Maida Vale, where I both had my dress made for the 2012 Oliviers, and spent a morning interviewing her on English style for Good Morning America over the Diamond Jubilee weekend, is that she doesn’t just sell dresses, but hats too.

June 9, 2012 British shops

I’m off to Glasgow with my friends at Swarovski on Monday for a whistlestop visit to attend the 2012 Scottish Fashion Awards.  (Swarovski are a sponsor.) I wish it were longer, as I have a long overdue appointment with blogging royalty, but unfortunately for that plan, I have to be back in London and on […]

LLG Food & Home: The Harvey Nichols Diamond Jubilee Lunch Box

May 11, 2012 British shops

I do like a store with a sense of humour: last year I fell for Harvey Nichols’ ‘Quince William and Skate Middleton’ Royal Wedding mug, and this year they have excelled themselved with the Harvey Nichols Jubilee Lunch Box, complete with six corn flakes cakes made with  Royal Warrant holders Charbonnel et Walker’s dark chocolate. […]

LLG Shops: The new ALDO Oxford Street store

April 20, 2012 Accessories

Instead of my more usual breakfast of yoghurt & berries, this morning was all about mini pains au chocolat and shoes. As I’m sure you’ll agree, a distinct improvement on my regular morning activity. The pastries and footwear overload were part of ALDO’s press breakfast to launch their new revamped Oxford Street store, before the […]

LLG Shops: Bicester Village & New Sergio Rossi Shoes

March 21, 2012 Accessories

I think it would be fair to say that my wardrobe is not lacking in the shoe department. It’s not lacking to the point where I have no choice but to pack away out of season pairs in an inaccessible cupboard, as otherwise my flat would resemble a shoe warehouse. As it is, I have […]

LLG Accessories: Sawako Furuno Bicycle Helmets

Thumbnail image for LLG Accessories: Sawako Furuno Bicycle Helmets February 7, 2012 Accessories

I have wanted a Sawako Furuno cycling helmet since I first wrote about them in 2008, when I bemoaned the (then) bizarre attitude of some New Yorkers to cycling). But I either couldn’t afford one, or was on the road and couldn’t pack one in my cases. Now that I am based out of London […]

Retail: North London Vintage Market, N8

May 30, 2011 British shops

I love this portrait of Tara, my dear, dear friend and her, can you believe, infant number three, baby Abe?  Altho I think she looks like perfection, she wishes you to know that she is 10lbs lighter now. Pshaw. Anyway, the reason why she went all whimsical in the hair accessory department is because she […]
