Palm Beach Retreat

ELLE Decoration recently spent some time in hot, sunny and lovely Palm Beach and decided to rub it in all our faces by sharing their amazing photos! Click HERE to check out the full album, I wanna go! x

Belated Xmas Tree

My parents stopped buying christmas trees a few years ago, when my mom found a faux palm tree covered in christmas lights that she now prefers to use instead. As fun as it is, there is just something about a faux palm tree that doesn't quite capture the magical christmas qualities of a real tree - even when covered in christmas lights. Luckily, my aunt and uncle's MASSIVE tree held up for our belated xmas dinner last Sunday night, pretty non?

This photo takes Mac N Cheese's NYE classiness to a whole new level!

X-Mas Eve @ The Lowon Popes

Family, friends & great food! The best way to spend Christmas eve. This year the Lowon Pope's hosted a fabulous Xmas eve soiree with an asian fusion theme, it was delicious! Plus I got to watch Miracle on 34th street and was given a new pink YSL lipstick - happy me!!

Festive Fun

On Wednesday night, my friend Hayley and I headed over to the Harrod's champagne bar to indulge in some festive fun. Psychologies Magazine organised a small event where guests were treated to a wreath making tutorial by one of London's leading florists before making their own to take home. Neither of us had ever made a holiday wreath before - but it was such a blast and we sure didn't mind sipping on glasses of veuve and snacking on canapes while creating our holiday works of art! I have a feeling wreath-making parties are going to be all the rage next year!

Gobble Gobble!

For those in London celebrating American Thanksgiving today/this weekend, be sure to visit the Selfridges Food Court to stock up on essentials for the big feast. After all, who could live without American Thanksgiving favourites such as; Mac N Cheese, French's Mustard, Lucky Charms, Oreos, jarred hot dogs, egg nog mix, and Shake N Bake??

Okay, so maybe you won't be going to purchase any of those things, but at least go visit if only to have a laugh. I would like to clarify that I am Canadian, so please correct me if my views on these gobble gobble "classics" are wrong! x

Happy 10/10/10

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!!

Today I'm feeling very grateful to have so many great Canadians here in London with me, and thanking Dani and Hayley for hosting a fantastic Thanksgiving Pot Luck Party last night. Old friends, new friends and strangers all came together last night at a flat just off of Brick Lane to enjoy and celebrate our favourite holiday together. How lucky we were to be in a room filled with incredible chefs! All dishes were homemade and absolutely delicious! For staters we had stuffed mushrooms and an amazing, ginger-infused butternut squash soup. The main included all the much-loved traditional dishes - stuffing, roast chicken (couldn't get a Turkey ANYWHERE!), roast veg, candied yams and cranberry sauce. For dessert we enjoyed a crumble and pumpkin pie cheesecake thanks to Clara who performed a Thanksgiving miracle by tracking down the one and only can of pumpkin pie puree in all of the East End!

Wishing everyone back home and abroad a wonderful, and extra happy thanksgiving this year on 10/10/10! x
