Hallelujah! A hotel utterly conceived around the understanding that those checking in might be suffering from a common ailment called jet-lag.
The Quincy Hotel, Singapore, ticks all the boxes.
Early check-in to suit arrival times of transworld planes? Check. Super-fast transit from showing passport at front desk to bedroom with blackout blinds, (with [...]

Paris’s latest retail love affair is with the absolutely gorgeous Merci. A delightful mini department store that manages to be chic and relaxed al at once. The fashion edit is sensational but its other departments covering furniture, interior design, books and more make it a fully rounded 1500 meter gem. For a quick bite [...]

Finally after many years of working and even living in Milan, I have found a hotel that I would recommend! Antica Locanda is a boutique hotel that has been open since 1926 with 11 rooms that are all different, some with beautiful planted balconies. With buckets of rickety charm and being located in [...]

When I see the letters, ‘B&B’, I think cosy chintz, a selection of jams in little pots, maybe a snarly cat curled up in the corner. I do not think modern design done subtly and well, ceilings so high and white that a whole wall beneath can be painted jet black and [...]

I have a new Sunday morning tradition - coffee, dog park and a pit stop at the Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint. Since donuts are my weakness, Peter Pan Bakery is my kryptonite. The selection of homemade donuts (no preservatives) are unreal – red velvet cake, marble crullers, chocolate cake, glazed sour cream, and [...]

The Book Kitchen was just one of a long list of recommendations I was given recently when I traveled to Sydney for Australian Fashion Week, and it turned out to be a real gem.

It’s a cute little spot, just across the road from The Bourke Street Bakery. Bourke Street and Crown Street in Surry [...]

In London, the National Gallery does a range of great artists as finger puppets! Collect van Gogh, Monet and Michelangelo!
