What a week – a plethora of eruptions; Meg and Hazza bare their crest on court-life within the walls of the British Monarchy, jousting Piers Morgan to unceremoniously lob his Action Man out of his 400-horsepower pushchair, and Mount Etna bestows Sicily with a welcome distraction from contagious microorganisms. Dynasty-shaking allegations (giving the Mediterranean’s largest … Read more
Goooood funking lord – we’re still amidst this Brexit-esque pandemic, incarcerated in yet another lockdown; while the Brazilian, South African and Kent variants globe-trot – clocking up more air miles than most. The past twelve months have had the Tiger Woods brake-pads effect on the general public; your sourdough creations are now receiving bitter receptions, if … Read more
Hallelujah and praise Dries Van Noten, the Holy Grail of retail has reopened its Grade II listed, metallic/soiled-bonze gateway to Kenzo, Comme des Garçons, and Tom Ford Promised Land. We can all breathe a sigh of relief as our drapery, objet d’art, and eau de parfum oracle’s escalators can once again bear the weight … Read more
We’ve all sat around a buffed silver candelabra-lit table during a dinner gatherette positioned next to duller than dull; you might as well not have paid for your blow-dry, as Spitfire-chops exudes Blackwall-Tunnel’s-worth of hot air pre the petit fours emerging – oxygen inhalation irrelevant – without so much as a flicker on interest into … Read more
For over 90% of you, the illustrations below are as natural as inhaling oxygen, putting one Gucci loafer in front of the other, slipping into a pair of clean lacy under-crackers come sunrise – inbuilt, your moral compass simply points towards: “what would you like?”, “it’s my turn”, “no, let me get this”. When one hosts din-dins, … Read more
Bozo BoJo and his band of Monty Python advisors have spoken – come 15th June non-essential shops can dust off their Spring/Summer wear and rev up the tills, as long they keep to stiff control-the-virus rules. Easy peasy – we in Blighty love rigid regulations. If you’re a tad worried about not being able to see the perspex divides … Read more
The UK is still amid lockdown, most of the population are nudging their cursor hourly from home, and over 20% of the employed are furloughed – with not even a 3 Watt LED energy-efficient bulb at the end of a rather infectious tunnel. There’s no doubt we all have our coping mechanisms in amongst this … Read more
Under the incarceration status quo, we’re as knowledgeable re the softening of the ministerial grip, as we are with the future of catwalk crazes and high-street collections, never mind what drapery to don during Zoom gather-ettes and Skype sauvignon-sess-es. Has Spring/Summers been skirted? Does one now only focus on Autumn/Winter looks? Will we be able … Read more
Blooming, presumably, we all dreamt of being ‘results-driven’, ‘thought leaders’, and ‘Content Kings’ – and Queens, or just Queens. Mastering the not-so-fine-art of corporate buzzwords, phrases, and jargon; sitting in endless meetings deliberating over “whose budget is this coming out of”, the ‘Customer Lifecycle’ – as well as the soupçon inflated sales team’s pipe-line. And, … Read more
The egg-citement is brewing as we’re hippity hoppiting ever closer to four glorious days of hot sofa-bound buns, custody chocolate egg hunts; and you’ve more chance of a clearer conflab with a relapsed Lindsay Lohan, trapped down a rabbit hole, than a Zoom chinwag with Great Aunt Maude in Bognor – every cloud.
