Harvey Nichols to Harrods…Covent Garden to Camden Market…oh my.  I’m in London for a few days this week for my ‘day job.’ And if I get an hour to myself it’ll be power shopping at one of these. Although Camden Market is surely the best place to seek out the hottest new trends bubbling in [...]

Due sabati fa mi sono ritrovato a fare un tifo indiavolato per la Nazionale. Io non sono mai stato un grosso tifoso della Nazionale. A parte un video su Youtube girato da Ste che riprende l'esplosione della redazione alla vittoria dei Mondiali, la Nazionale non mi ha mai regalato grosse emozioni. Faccio il tifo agli Europei o ai Mondiali, sono contento se vince e mi piace vedere le partite, ma la mia Nazionale è la Roma. Ero a Londra con due amici, Danilo e Fabrizio, e alle 17, invece del tè, ci siamo presi una serie interminabile di birre in un pub che trasmetteva Scozia-Italia. Avevamo fatto un tentativo al Bar Italia di Soho, un buco di tre metri per due gestito da italiani, ma non ci aveva convinto: a parte il caffè (2 pound a tazzina, alla faccia delle solidarietà tra connazionali!), di vedere la partita in piedi non ci andava proprio. Così ci siamo spostati in questo pub piuttosto grande, nella zona compresa tra Soho e Piccadilly Circus.&n

As far as cities go, there are few that can rival London’s bold, brash and bustling vibrancy. Not only is it a modern, cosmopolitan epicentre of international activity, it is also steeped in history, having been settled for almost two thousand years, including periods of Roman and even Viking rule.It could be said that London has more than its fair share of iconic images, from Big Ben and Tower Bridge to Buckingham Palace and red double-decker buses. But these photo-friendly attractions may only offer limited entertainment for the snap-happy tourist, and as beautiful and historically significant as they are, it’s important to remember that London has so much more to offer. In fact, there’s no shortage of things to do in London that will appeal to all interests and budgets.For starters, there’s the British Museum which is open every day and has free entry. It holds in trust for the UK one of the finest collections of art and antiquities in existence, including the Rosetta Stone

It's hard to be hip - the endless guest-lists, the parties, the best seats in restaurants - but that's not the half of it. It's a very serious business indeed, calling (not unlike therapy) for years of total commitment and relentless hard work.London has been characterized as one of Europe's "hippest' cities: for the inveterate traveller it's a dream come true! If you're looking for cool, happening and cutting edge, you're in the right place. However, hipness is a minefield of hidden dangers: so a little advice… It's better to be seen in a bar or a café than a restaurant. Tucking into a three-course meal will leave you out in the cold and hidden from view in a way that propping up a bar or hanging out in a café doesn't.There's a trip to staying hip… here are some of the essential hipster's restaurants, bars and clubs. There's sure to be something here to lift your spirits and add to a great night out. Those searching for a fashionable spot won't

Well, I've just returned from London for an interview. Somehow my dodgy CV managed to impress somebody enough to consider me for a Copywriter/Marketing Assistant role with an internet company in Mayfair! I am amazed to have even got this far.Whether it went well or not I honestly can't say. I liked the atmosphere in the office and I liked my interviewees. I am afraid that I did perhaps come across as a bit too creative and not professional enough, but we'll just have to wait and see. As always I couldn't stop a big smile from lighting up my face as I alighted at Paddington; it felt like coming home. Would have been nice to catch up with some friends but it being a work day they'd all be up to their eyes in it, and also I didn't really have time to socialise. What with a three hour journey there and back, lunch, makeup check and finding my way, I was lucky to even have a toilet break.Here's hoping I may be on my way to glory and if not, at least I know my CV is good enough for th

Now is the perfect time to go sunglass shopping just before the days start getting super long and beach weather rolls on in. These babies ($210 USD) have just the right amount of attitude to fit any womans’ style and face shape.

Two days ago, 135 people were killed in a terror attack in Baghdad's Sadriya market. That one did make the headlines, unlike the other days, when terror claims only the equivalent of the 7/7 London bombings.About the same day, many people were arrested in London in what appeared to be a plot to abduct and behead a muslim soldier. A great victory for counter terrorism being often followed by the revelation of a not so glorious news for the Government, I just sat and waited for it to pop up.It didn't take long for UK's army to confess 15 minor soldiers had been sent to Iraq. Actually, underaged combattants happened to be one of the few disgraces lacking to Tony Blair's impressive collection. We'll have to scratch our heads to find the next one...According to Saint Tony, 7/7 had nothing to do with Iraq and the invasion of Iraq had something to do with the war on terror.According to me, Ruppert Murdoch had something to do with the election of Tony Blair and Fox News' broadcasting of

At last, we are in London, safely in our hotel room. Our baby is completely exhausted, wiped out, and sleeping like the cutest little log. She has quite a day yesterday and was such a great traveler. For SIXTEEN HOURS, she hardly cried, smiled, played, snuggled, loved us, ...

Current Mood: Confused  Just a second ago, Ant and I had a conversation on MSN Messenger and she’s convinced me to go to London with her this summer! She’s been there numerous times before and she’s also got family there so let’s hope I’m in good hands IF I decide to go. I must admit, back in [...]
