The Gift of Travel


Wearing Roksanda Pre-Fall 2015

What to give someone that has everything? The answer is simple - a priceless experience.

It’s time to dip into the chocolate covered, mulled wine fuelled, cozy Christmas features and I could not be more excited this time around. Why? Because I get to kick it off with a new discovery of mine, Mr & Mrs Smith: a handpicked, well curated selection of the top boutique hotels around the world. Whether we are talking romantic escapes, pampering spa experiences or best kept boutique hotel secrets, you can be sure you’ll find it on Mr & Mrs Smith. Goodbye headless online hotel browsing, you will not be missed. 

The luxury-hotel booking service has taken an innovative direction by teaming up with one of the hottest names in fashion right now, designer Roksanda Ilincic, for their ‘Get a Room!’ gift card. It goes without saying that the gift card, covered in Roksanda’s iconic block prints, makes the ideal Christmas gift this year. All you need to do is stick a bow on it. Seriously, can I have one? To bring you an insight into the partnership, we spent a day at the London Edition – a recent addition to the Smith collection and one of my personal favourites in town – draped in Roksanda’s newest collections to have the ultimate Christmas Wishlist come to life. Designer gifts, sold out runway shoes, and an unforgettable night at the Penthouse Suite, just a little hint of what to buy me this year. The Christmas countdown has officially started.

Must do Christmas in London: The Berkeley's Rooftop Winter Cinema

If you're having some trouble getting in the Christmas spirit in London, allow me to prescribe the perfect recipe for success. Book yourself tickets to The Berkeley's Rooftop Winter Cinema in Knightsbridge. Worries slip away as fast as you can say "Miracle on 34th Street." And of course, you'd be saying that with good reason as the film is what you'll be watching as you enjoy warm hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, champagne, mulled wine, and more canapĂ©s and mince pies than you'll ever be able to consume. Set beneath the stars, on the rooftop of The Berkeley, the winter cinema truly is a festive escape from the hustle and bustle of London's holiday chaos. When you arrive, you are led to your private mini chalet and supplied with cozy Montcler blankets and a hot water bottle wrapped in cashmere. If only movie watching could be like this year round. Periodically throughout the film, you are checked on by staff at the rooftop, who want to make sure you are warm enough, comfortable and have plenty of beverages on hand. This is truly an experience not to be missed. 

Book now! Prices range from £65 to £85 per person. Just an FYI - nights book up super fast for this as it's a limited run with very few spaces. Get in there, people. Over and out.
