HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KATE MOSS....



...and still as gorgeous as ever.

Cara Delavigne may be rockin' the catwalk and the fashion scene... but Kate Moss is Great Britain's Fashion Queen   ....and picture perfect.

Can't wait to see what she looks like at 50!...hopefully fairing a tad better than Madonna....

ALIAS by THEO FENNELL


I have fallen in love with this exciting new collection of sterling silver jewellery introduced to us by THEO FENNELL...jeweller,rock'n roller...whose main collection has always been "on point/to the point and extremely avantgarde" and..... a little "pricey"...!
So this new and vibrant collection named "Meadow" is one of many that you can find from his ALIAS collection...check out his website. There is plenty for everyone's tastes and great gifts ...even out of the holiday season...
FYI...my bday is around the corner!

" STICKS' N' SUSHI "..... Are you Curious?


What do you get when you cross Danish cuisine with Japanese?...
Why " Sticks' n' Sushi "!!! 
Isn't it obvious?......




As luck would have it,my sister and her husband happen to be friends with a Danish couple who in turn know the owner of "Sticks' n' Sushi "...have I lost you?

So this is how we ended up, on a cold winter's day in the beating heart of London's glorious Covent Garden walking into this spacious, loft like interior....tongues hanging out of our mouths,desperate to savour this intriguing cuisine. 





There are 10 restaurants in Denmark and 2 in London: Wimbledon as well as Covent Garden.
What you buy into is: good,clean fresh food served by delightful,friendly staff who are there to enhance your culinary journey in any way they can. 
Their motto is : "We only employ people with big smiles and small egos"..

On to the food: SUPERB!...there...I said it, we can move on to the pictures...Oh and...
the sticks.... are the Danish part of the cuisine...

*BIG CHAOS SALAD*:...BIG ENOUGH FOR 3 PEOPLE.

A platter with a sushi selection: salmon,tuna, duck rolls...some crunch...some munch .....


Now for the sticks: salmon,chicken wings and pancetta/ goats cheese..(my least favourite) and a lovely side order of fresh daikon.

And to top it all off: 
.....a 4 dessert taster.....

1) white chocolate with sweet miso and popped rice: delicious....
2)vanilla creme brule:heavenly....
3)chocolate fondant with caramel and hazelnut brittle:sublime.....
4)Matcha green tea ice cream with dark chocolate.....nah....meh....forget it.


So where is this foodie heaven?

Just an Illusion....

Dad needed a new keyring, his last one was inadvertently thrown away ;keys and all...not that he knows that...YET.
I found the perfect one at Mont Blanc on Sloane Street: stainless steel,"pull out and pivot" ring and a black embossed leather strap. He's going to love it...maybe a little less when I tell him that he paid for it.
 I digress.....




The sales girl went to get the box for it as I waited by the till.
When she brought this out I exclaimed with glee:




 " Wow! Does it come with a watch!??"
"No! I'm afraid not..." she replied laughing. "But it is guaranteed for 2 years"...



Well that makes up for it then....
Keyring: £100 by Mont Blanc.
