A few weeks ago lil’s sis & I took Posetta Baddog on a Friday afternoon outing in the car to a more salubrious part of London, where the air is altogether more rarified, and the streets cleaner.

May 14, 2011 Books & writers

Last week, whilst I was joyfully ensconced in Browns’ Shop 24, stroking the lovely Club Monaco clothes & planning my fantasy SS wardrobe, (that’s the problem with Browns: you end up wanting EVERYTHING), LLG Editorial Associate Briony hopped off to meet Mulberry’s Emma Hill for LLG… To celebrate its 40th birthday, Mulberry — in collaboration […]

Last year I managed to give one of my best friends in America a heart attack with a Mothering Sunday post on LLG — she hadn’t realised that the UK & US celebrate on different days in different months. Anyway, for those of you in the UK who still haven’t got round to sorting anything […]

Bicester Village outlet stores: Marni, Tod’s

December 9, 2009 English shops

No more do fashion editors need to remind their hard-pressed assistants to include time for a visit to the Milan Marni outlet on the way to their hotel from Linate. Not only is the Bicester Village Marni store easier to find (the Milan store is on a residential street, through some huge gates, around a […]
