The beauty of The Dorchester in London
There are a few hotels in London that are, shall we say, the luxury elite. They are adored for their extreme customer service, beautiful interiors and their ability to make anyone on earth feel like the only person on earth. In short, these hotels offer more than a bed for the night- they offer a lifestyle. This is the definition of five stars in the travel industry. And let's just say that The Dorchester on Park Lane deserves every one of those stars.
Last month I had a chance to experience The Dorchester first hand. I spent one night in the luxurious Dorchester Suite and yes, it's everything you'd expect from the name. It is the creme de la creme of The Dorchester offering. From the decadent decorations in both the living room and bedroom, to the marbled bathroom and spacious foyer, this is heaven overlooking Hyde Park.
Now here's the thing. Their were over a dozen areas in the suite to sit and think, and ponder the perfection of this space. I counted. But there was one where I found true uninterrupted happiness. In fact, I tweeted a picture from this space and had a few responses from followers telling me of famous people that had sat there before me. Apparently this sitting area is quite iconic - it's the window seat in the corner of The Dorchester Suite, with a view overlooking Hype Park that will take your breath away. I should have been working, but instead I found myself paralyzed by this comfortable setup with a live show taking place below me. I watched as the world, and traffic, passed. It was one of those days when London was alive because the sun had decided to come out and play for a full eight hours. London in the sun is magnificent. London in the sun, with a room at The Dorchester is nirvana.
As is always the case with these hotel moments, I take full advantage of the option of room service. Why are we so obsessed by this phenomenon? I can never explain it, but breakfast in bed is this side of heaven and it's everything you'd expect it to be with the five stars of The Dorcheser on offer.
In short, this stay has actually left me in a bit of a tough spot. Where does one go from here? Returning to even my own flat was a moment of depression. Why oh why doesn't my humble abode come complete with a view of Hyde Park and a lovely young man serving me berries and Eggs Royale in the morning?
As always, here's a look at the whole experience through the lens of my camera...

The crossbody high street bag that looks anything but high street
Buying bags these days truly need not cost you the world, ladies and gents. This whole idea that a bag isn't a statement until it has four figures attached to it is just plain ridiculous. Sometimes it's fabulous, admittedly. But there's too much fun to be had with bags, trends, etc, to invest wisely all the time. Have a little fun with your bag collection and include some high street pieces that truly only need to last you one season.
Aldo have a few pieces on offer for SS15 that are pretty easy on the eyes and perfect for either casual day wear or festival fun. This Challberg Crossbody, for example, is only £35. Sure, it's not real leather - but all the better for messy and muddy festivals and days out in town when you won't care if you spill red wine while conversing.

Since I’ve taken on make up as a new category on my blog, I’ve decided to start sharing my personal favorites on a monthly basis. I’m a fan of natural basics, but that gives me even a bigger reason to source the best products on the market.
Let’s talk about skin. I recently discovered Dior’s Nude Air, which has a super light, as the name suggests, air-like texture. It’s ideal for daywear and does not cake up. I vary with applying foundations with both my hands and a brush, this one works best with a brush and is so light that you can layer it for the coverage needed. The finish is smooth and light, like powder. The only downside is that it does not set on the skin that well, so to prevent if from rubbing off to clothes, locking it down with a light layer of loose powder.
After applying the foundation, I use Tom Ford’s contour kit. This (also new) discovery of mine makes all the difference with it’s natural looking high- and low-lights. Whilst the highlighter is a little bit on the heavy side, I use the darker shade a lot more and apply just a few dabs of the lighter colour as a finishing touch. A medium sized brush is the best tool to blend out the colours on the cheeks, and a small eyeshadow brush ideal for shading the nose.
After using mostly waterproof mascara for years - I need it to stay put the whole day, I’ve found Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Eyes that lives up to my requirements. It’s not waterproof, it washes off with just water, but it does not wear off throughout the day.

Charlotte Tilbury’s products have made a massive difference to my make up routine, it was the first brand I discovered that builds its products around nude shades and use red as a base tone to many palettes. Surprisingly few brands experience with shades of red, although I see it as one of the most natural and contemporary shades to wear on and around your eyes. The complete Dolce Vita palette is definitely built for nightwear but I use the top two tones for everyday wear, as worn above.
