Happy Easter everyone! I’m off to Highgate for a long, boozy family lunch of roast lamb with all the trimmings! Have a lovely Easter whatever you’re doing.
If (like me, though) you’ll end up eating far too much chocolate today, keep posted for ‘Nosh – The Ultimate Spring Detox,’ a review of an amazing detox package which really clears out the system, helps you lose a few pounds and gives you so much energy!

Indian Summer is a fabulous store located on the Parson’s Green stretch of the Fulham Road. I walk past it weekly, when I freelance in West London and it is a delightful treasure trove of clothing accessories, toys, gifts and home/lifestyle products with a Bohemium feel. It is one of those shops that you can easily while away an hour or so browsing. Read more

I’ll be heading home from London to my parents’ house in the Cotswolds next weekend, spending Mother Day’s (March 18th) with my beautiful, wonderful Mother.
Here’s a pic of us both on holiday at a friend’s house in Tuscany last summer…
But if you’re not lucky enough to be spending next Sunday with your Mum, then a luxurious gift box from Happy Box London or Panier D’Amour would make a fabulous Mother’s Day gift. Read more
The Oscar’s kicks off tonight (Sunday evening/Monday morning UK) in all its fabulous glory. I can’t wait to see all the outfits, keep posted for my thoughts.
Universal Pictures sent me Oscar-nominated Jane Eyre to review a month or so ago (released on DVD March 12) and as it’s up for an Academy Award tonight for best Costume Design – I thought it would be a great time to review it! Read more
At the weekend, I headed to the opening of the new Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Tate Modern in London…and it did not disappoint! Kusama is perhaps Japan’s best-known living artist – famous for her colourful polka dot patterns – and has worked obsessively producing art since the 1940′s.
The exhibition traces the origins of Kusama’s work in the 1950′s (post-World War II) in an impoverished Japan, her move to America and the struggle to adjust, her experiences in the US during the late ’60′s (when the country was in the throes of cultural and sexual liberation) and finally her work of the last thirty years (produced from a mental institution, where she voluntarily admitted herself and where she remains to this day).

Last week, I attended the private preview of the new David Shrigley exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, with the lovely girls from ASOS. Read more
Selfridges has launched a library in its flagship London store, curated by four major publishers: Penguin, Thames & Hudson, Faber and Taschen. The idea behind it is to celebrate the “inspirational power of words and literature,” at a time when standards in reading, grammar and spelling are falling and also encourage people to switch off their phones/laptops and re-discover the power of reading! I think its such a fantastic idea and I can’t wait to pop down for a browse. Read more

I have to say, I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day – being forced to show someone you love them with over-priced chocolates and cards (along with the rest of the country). To be honest, it’s the same reason I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve…it just feels too forced. Read more
If, like me, you’re dreaming of a sunshine-filled winter holiday break – you can always bring a piece of Mauritius to your home with this beautiful Miller Harris Cardamon Sucre candle, available to buy in Miller Harris’ store on Bruton Street, Mayfair. Read more

When the film execs of Hollywood get their hands on a low budget but otherwise successful foreign film, the result can range from the fantastic (The Departed), to the confused (The Ring) to the outrageously blasphemous (too many to list but Arthur rings a recent and unfortunate bell).
The Debt, which tells the tale of three Mossad agents forced to revisit an uncomfortable past, is a remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same title that for the most part delivers or at least doesn’t leave the purists angry. Read more
