LLG in London: The Bollinger Boat House at The Boat Race 2013

April 6, 2013 LLG Plays & Stays

Narnia, otherwise known as London in March, is a pretty chilly place to be. I felt for the Oxford & Cambridge crews at The Boat Race 2013 on the Thames at Putney. It was bitterly, bitterly cold. Luckily for me, I wasn’t huddled on the banks and bridges of the river for long, but snuggled […]

LLG Hotel Reviews: The Hotel du Vin, Birmingham

March 27, 2013 Hotels

I am generally well-disposed towards  Hotel du Vins. They’re usually in interesting buildings, located in Britain’s more interesting towns, with comfortable and considered rooms, and really good bistros with, as you may have worked out from the name, serious wine lists. When they first launched in the UK, they were pretty much the first proper […]

A Week in LLG: From Byron Burgers to an H&M Harlem Shake…

March 16, 2013 LLG Plays & Stays

It’s been a week punctuated by beautiful flowers. These arrived at the LLG office attached to the invitation to the Toast store launch on Marylebone High Street next week, where I gather they will be filling the shop with blooms from The Flower Appreciation Society. At the MiH AW13 press day at their enviable studios […]

LLG Restaurants: Balthazar, Covent Garden, London

March 16, 2013 LLG Food

Ah Balthazar. If there’s a restaurant that sums up my old fashion editor life in Manhattan, it would be this one, where I ate breakfast at least thrice weekly and knew that if I walked to a table at the back of the room, I would pass half the fashion publicists of New York pretending […]

New York Restaurants: B&H Kosher Diner in the East Village

March 13, 2013 LLG Food

During the blizzard in New York last month the one thing I was determined to do was have breakfast at the counter at the B&H Dairy diner in the East Village.  It’s a proper, old school Kosher diner that’s just a few feet wide with the smiliest short order cook. You eat breakfast perched on […]

LLG in Cornwall: Fifteen Spring Farmers’ Market, Watergate Bay

March 10, 2013 Cornwall

At the end of March last year, lil’sis & I headed down to Cornwall for the most glorious four day long weekend. It was really warm, properly hot on some days, which is frankly hard to comprehend, given that the mercury has fallen to below zero in most of the British Isles tonight, and it’s […]

LLG in London: The Brits 2013

February 22, 2013 LLG Plays & Stays

London has spread out so far from the banks of the Thames that its inhabitants have lost the knack of using the river as a thoroughfare. Of course there are  water taxi routes but taking them is the exception rather than the rule, now that most journeys don’t  begin and end on the riverbanks.  So […]

LLG Travel Review: Clift Hotel, San Francisco

February 18, 2013 Hotels

There’s a soft spot in my heart for the Morgans Hotel Group: I started my magazine career at Conde Nast Traveller back in the day, and its hotels were always at the top of our  review lists, as properties that always changed the way people thought about hotels. So I’ve reviewed them for work, and stayed […]

LLG in New York: Dinner at The Dutch, Drinks at Buvette & Blizzard Nemo

February 13, 2013 LLG Food

I walked past The Dutch on Thursday afternoon, on the way home from NYFW designer Jen Kao’s studio. A crisp, clear afternoon. This is what it looked liked on Friday night around midnight:
