I was invited to the premiere of Kevin Spacey in Richard III last night at the Old Vic. The production is directed by Sam Mendes, and is the first time he has reunited with Spacey since they took home Oscars for “American Beauty.” This is the second time I’ve seen Spacey at the Old Vic, […]
The Burberry Serpentine Summer Party.
In the middle of a work event last night I got a call that I had a ticket to the Burberry Serpentine Summer Party waiting for me. I ran home and changed from a black Theory suit to red Valentino cocktail dress all in about 3 minutes flat. I know because the taxi meter was running…I […]
Happy Wimbledon. Day 1.
If you’ve seen me quoted in the press recently, you know I don’t actually participate in a lot of the English summer sporting events in the traditional sense. To me, it’s all about socializing and enjoying some bubbles. Wimbledon is different. I have loved tennis since I was a little girl, and this the absolute best […]
AG at Taste of London.
We braved the hideous rain this year to attend one of my favorite summer events, Taste of London, in Regents Park. Here are some highlights… The perfect place to hide from the rain… Delicious summer punch from Chase Vodka. Wagyu beef burger with truffle and Cantal cheese sauce, served with a Parmesan polenta sumo chip, from […]
Summer fun in SW1…
American Girl Jamie, from FabSugar, and I are going to stop by the Elizabeth Street summer carnival tomorrow evening. I thought I would share the invitation with you girls too…. Come along for a glass of Pimms or two…… Midsummer Carnival on Elizabeth Street Wednesday 8th June 2011 Elizabeth Street, the fashionable heart of London’s […]
Glamour & Giving Event, Supporting Solace Women’s Aid…
The lovely W Girls got in touch recently to speak to me about this event. Lots of girly fun for a wonderful cause. I love the idea of “Declutter and Give Back.” I was able to do a major bathroom cabinet and make-up spring cleaning job, all for charity! Awesome idea ladies! WGIRLS London is […]
Fantastic new art gallery opens in Battersea….
Hi girls, If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, I definitely would recommend checking out this wonderful new art gallery located just across the river in the Albion Riverside development. One of my dear dear friends has just opened it, and the pieces she has up now are beautiful, and inspirational. Shanyan […]
If you can’t make it to centre court this year…
This is my first summer in London not attending Wimbledon and we’re trying something new. Bluebird on the Kings Road has put up a GIANT screen and is showing all of the key matches, with a special champagne cocktail menu. I can’t wait to try the “Mixed Double,” stawberries, Pimms, and champagne! Not only is […]
You are the sunshine of my life…
Hi girls. So, I am really excited for this weekend, its the Hard Rock Calling Concerts in Hyde Park. Last summer we got to see Dave Matthews and Bruce Springsteen, and this Saturday it’s all about Stevie Wonder. The concerts run from the 25-27 of June and Paul McCartney and Pearl Jam are also playing! […]
Pass the popcorn, and the champagne!
I was reminded of how awesome the Electric Cinema is in Notting Hill, in my search to buy “Sex and the City 2” tickets. The Electric has to be the absolute best place to see a movie in all of London. Each movie-goer gets a big leather chair with a footstool, and a place to […]
Polo comes to central London!
Going to a polo tournament is one of the most fun and sophisticated summer events a girl can attend. I remember my first summer in London I went with my now-husband to the Cartier Polo. It was an absolute blast. All of the ladies were dressed impeccably, and I still have not figured out how […]
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
It’s time to take advantage of the daylight extending into the late hours of the day. The Open Air Theatre opens this week in Regents Park, and is a truly magical evening to behold. This years plays include “Macbeth,” “The Crucible,” and “Into the Woods.” If these options don’t tickle your fancy there are also […]
Jazz it up…
A great night out shouldn’t be this hard to find. Tucked away in the basement of what almost looks like an abandoned building on Lots Road, the 606 Club has been putting on amazing jazz sessions for over thirty years. The club showcases all types of jazz from traditional to contemporary, and some big names […]
