ORANGE WEDNESDAY

colour 15:25
What rhymes with orange? A question that has teased minds since the beginning of language. This season, the zesty colour has presented a new challenge for me. What goes with orange? Until now, I believed orange was strictly for prison jumpsuits and monks. It is a colour that has never lay in my wardrobe nor have I ever wished it to. It is...

CAFFEINE CONFESSIONS

Brooklyn-Coffee 19:31
Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I made a lie on a previous post. It wasn't intentional and at the time it was true. I really did believe that the Shoreditch Grind made the best iced mocha's in the land. But now I have seen the light. The heavens opened and showed me the way. Like the shining star that led the 3...

EN ROUTE

Breakfast 15:07
This weekends destination was Route, a cafe situated round the corner from Dalston Junction. I first found it on a Saturday morning hunt for a hangover-breakfast. You know the kind. Something that requires minimal effort/moving and arrives quickly. So I was relieved not only when we found Route within a short walking distance from where I was staying, but even more so when...

DONUT MISS THIS POST

Bird 15:43
...if you have a sweet tooth. As I have found the perfect spot for your inner American policeman: coffee and donuts to go. Actually it may be the perfect spot for your inner American full stop, as they also serve some mighty fine fried chicken and waffles. But let's save that for another day. Today we're giving these doughy, sugary, hoop-shaped pieces of...

THE DAILY GRIND

Food 17:55
My internship drove me to coffee addiction. Kind of. Iced coffee counts right? Ok, they were iced mocha's. But I won't let the addition of chocolate take away from my new found membership in the coffee club. As a teenager my fantasy of being a writer was imagined within a Brooklyn apartment where I would frantically write all night, fuelled by a constant...

STREET FEAST: ROUND 2

Food 21:48
And so we meet again Street Feast. Round 2. Part II. The return of the bap (Smokestak's). Ah yes, this time I visited Smokestak not just once, but twice. In one sitting. That's not all I had either, visiting my other old pal Mother Clucker and making a few new acquaintances on the way. I think it's fair to say that this time I won. I came,...

THE GOOD LIFE

Food 12:26
Welcome to The Good Life. Where the food is healthy, the customers are wealthy and Kanye's 2007 lyrics will relentlessly run through your mind. The Good Life Eatery has been popping up on my Instagram feed for a while, a page I followed in hope that it would inspire some type of clean-eating diet in my life when I tried to stop eating...

CULOTTE COOL

Fashion 20:25
Culottes - my new favourite item to wear. They're perfect for this transitional weather between the seasons. They look good worn with heels for a night out, but I love them paired down with trainers for a smart casual look. I managed to find these in Primark for just 7 pound - going into that shop is a nightmare, but sometimes - just...
