Well, not totally alone, but without any other grown-ups or awake people around.  Hubby is out.  A well-deserved outing for drinks with a friend, in between my nights on the town.  I've been leaving my boys to fend for themselves so often the last week or two, but this is… Read full post »

 Here I am with the fash pack...

 

With Philip Treacy  at Harrods...

 

With Lulu Guiness at her pop-up store...

 

and, um, me and Bob Geldof after the show.

And here are a couple other snaps from the big night.  Sadly, I am not in them:

At least I did last night around 8pm because I saw her!  She walked the catwalk, something she rarely, if ever, does anymore, at Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief (http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/news_details.aspx?ID=173) fashion show and auction benefitting the victims of the recent earth… Read full post »

I have been so busy having a nice time that I haven't had a second to document any of it!  Sunday lunch with some lovely new friends, a girls night out, a solo spa night at The Sanctuary for some much needed pampering (http://www.thesanctuary.co.uk), date night at The River Cafe… Read full post »

Last night we broke the seal on celeb-chef restaurants: Gordon Ramsay's gastropub The Warrington.  It wasn't exactly what I expected in terms of atmosphere since the gastro and the pub were on different floors and had totally different decor.  Entering through the front doors you see a coz… Read full post »

Day 10 and it's the first time I have exercised.  Ugh.  In my defense it has been snowy, wet, and gross outside.  The in-building gym we were counting on, while still in existence, is off-limits because "the equipment has not been properly maintained and is not fit for human use."… Read full post »

 Just in case you forgot from the previous post:

 

So, this is micro herbs salad with organic baby plum tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, lemon and olive oil dressing; organic baguette; Prosecco Rosato; cullatello; venison ballotine; brillat-savarin; braeburn apples. Add to that the kid wa… Read full post »

I had planned to write mini-reviews of all the neighborhood restaurants we've hit since we've arrived (5 total), and to do that every week.  But then we realized that we were acting like we were on vacation and would be broke soon if we didn't start eating at home.  And… Read full post »

It is such a joy to be able to buy sparkling mineral water without all the locavore guilt usually associated with it.  A small country that has its own water and sells litres of it for less than a dollar--heaven!  I do buy the occasional Pellegrino at home, but feel…

First trip to Boots! I have been trying to get in there all week.  I love that place.  It's usually my first stop, but apparently four-year-old boys (and their daddies) do not love this UK pharmacy as much as I do.  

I even signed up for a Boots… Read full post »

Second day here and not one Mossy experience to report.  Can you believe?  Word is she's in Phuket with Naomi Campbell and Jamie Hince and she's taken up synchronized swimming for exercise.  I sort of hope she keeps her ciggie in her mouth while she does it.  I mean, hope… Read full post »

Our London adventure has begun!  Terrific start, so far.  Great airport and flight experiences.   We moved into the (tiny!) flat with ease and are having a terrific time settling in.

I thought it was fair to consider myself a seasoned traveller and that would imply that I had… Read full post »
