confessions of a design geek :: the best of 2012
Wow – what a year! This time last year I had just made the decision to leave my day job, follow my dream and see if I could make a living as a design writer. A year later, I can confidently say that I can! I feel very privileged to be able to say that. I’m...
out and about :: dining by design
I’ve told you all about our amazing day at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, but there’s more! After a spot of R&R back at the hotel, we were back at Pier 94 for second helpings. (Thank you so much to Cecy Brooks for this gorgeous photo of the lovely Pippa Jameson.) Cocktails By Design was the first...

Another Blog Tour NYC post… I promise, I’m almost done!

Even though I have studied pottery, I must confess, I have never really thought about it either, but it was fantastic to discover that such a successful...
out and about :: immer besser
On Wednesday’s evening, we were treated to a four course meal cooked for us by rising New York star Adam Schop, whose restaurant Nuela specialises in food from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The meal was hosted by Miele and the idea was that Adam would demonstrate different Miele appliances as he went. Our...
out and about :: tryp hotel
I hope you’ll forgive me for the slight bias towards ‘out and about’ posts this week – there is so much exciting stuff to report from BlogTourNYC! We have arrived in New York and checked into a rather wonderful hotel, that’s been open for less than two months, so I thought I’d show you around…...

I am very excited to announce that I have been chosen as one of 15 bloggers Modenus is taking to New York City tomorrow as part of BlogTourNYC! Before I set off, I thought a bit of an introduction was in order… Modenus is a resource for the interior design industry, offering a place to...
