Since I moved in with my boyfriend at the end of last year, I have got much more into cooking. Not to sound too clichéd but I really enjoy cooking for him. I lived on my own for nearly 10 years, and to be frank, could be satisfied with some toast for dinner – it’s…

Meet some meat
I like food. I am a bit of a food nerd and follow lots of trendy foodie type people on Twitter, look longingly at photos of the latest hip food openings but decide not to go until the hype dies down as they never take bookings and queuing is rubbish. And eventually go, maybe. Sometimes…
Elegance & Gowns – Glyndebourne Festival
Oh hi there! If you cast your mind back in time to a fortnight ago, you may recall I did a preview post about my upcoming trip to Glyndebourne, the festival opera. And go to Glyndebourne I did, so here is my review of the day. This is an account of what my eyes saw!…
Vintage London: Shopping and eating!
Morning! Well, afternoon, I started writing this in the morning. I hope you are all well? I am not. I managed to shake off a chest infection I had for about a month, a week or two back, and today I woke up with a horrible cold. I think my body is trying to kill…
Vintage London: Eating, drinking & dress up
Oh hi! How are you? You’re looking fabulous. It must be because the sun’s out in the UK and everyone looks so much sexier all of a sudden. I still have lots of things to tell you about that I’ve already done but before I do, I have two awesome things to tell you about…
Mussel Up
London is a smorgasbord of pop-up food ventures at the moment. I’ve been to a few, but my favourite so far has been Mussel Men. I heard about them ages ago, then got contacted by them out of the blue for something business-related. I’ve been trying to get down to actually sample the shellfish delights…
‘Allergic to Cupcakes’
The other day on Twitter I did a couple of jokey tweets with the hashtag #vintagegirlproblems. They were to do with my head being the wrong shape for headscarves and my freeze-hold hairspray about to run out, but I did say in one that I was allergic to cupcakes. It was meant entirely as a…
A Lady Lunches – Bond & Brook, Fenwick
Last week, I was invited to go along to a very glamorous restaurant to try their food, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a terrible task. I was chosen as a reviewer, I think, because this blog is about fashion (of a kind), and the restaurant is set in the middle of the fashion department…
Alpro #deskfest – a week of healthy breakfasts
Just before Christmas, I was invited to be an ambassador for Alpro as part of their #Deskfest campaign. My duty was simply to have five healthy breakfasts using Alpro products – things like soy and nut milks, as well as a new pouring yoghurt substitute. They would also send me some nice bits to use…
Vintage Burger Fiend
I’ll own up. Part of the reason why I’ve gained ten pounds as mentioned in my last blog is that I’ve become seriously addicted to burgers. I entirely blame my boyfriend for this, since before I met him, I’d only heard whispers and anecdotes about such fabled establishments as Lucky Chip and Meat Liquor, and…
