Blooming Marvelous…
It took quite some time before I found a florist I love in London, although, I have to give credit to my hubby on this one. I was just reminded how much I love Amanda Austin Flowers on Mothers Day when the bouquet of bright pink and purple hydrangeas, peonies, and roses arrived at my door. I […]

All That Glitters
I had the privilege of meeting the jewelry designer, Pippa Small, last year in her adorable shop in Notting Hill.
