The New Ladies Who Lunch: London’s Fresh Faces of Elegance and Influence

The New Ladies Who Lunch: London’s Fresh Faces of Elegance and Influence London’s lunching elite are evolving. Gone are the days when the phrase “ladies who lunch” conjured images of immaculately coiffed women in pearls, sipping champagne at the same old Mayfair haunts. In 2025, the new set is younger, more diverse, and far more ambitious. They’re redefining what it means to be stylishly influential in the capital. 💼 Who Are They? These modern "ladies who lunch" are a dynamic mix of entrepreneurs, creatives, philanthropists, and cultural influencers. They’re not just socialites—they’re power players who use their platforms to drive change, support causes, and build communities. Think founders of women-led startups, bestselling authors, and activists hosting events that blend business with pleasure. 🥂 Where Do They Go? While the classics still hold sway, today’s lunch spots are as much about vibe as tradition. Here are some of the go-to venues: Sketch : A whimsical, art-fi...

Lonely in a big city...?

Why People Feel Lonely in Big Cities, Especially Men Big cities like London, New York, and Tokyo are brimming with life—there’s always something to do, somewhere to go, and countless people around. Yet, paradoxically, these same places can also feel surprisingly isolating. You’d think that being surrounded by so many people would make it easy to connect, but for many, big cities can sometimes amplify feelings of loneliness. This is especially true for men, who often face unique challenges when it comes to emotional connection and socializing in urban environments. The Illusion of Connection When you live in a bustling city, it’s easy to assume you’re never truly alone. After all, you’re constantly in close proximity to others. Public transport is packed, cafes are buzzing, and people are going about their day-to-day lives. But here’s the catch: just because people are physically close doesn’t mean they’re emotionally connected. In fact, the very anonymity of city life can sometimes mak...

The Lipstick Recession: How Fashion Is Dressing for a Potential Downturn

The Lipstick Recession: How Fashion Is Dressing for a Potential Downturn As the economy teeters on the edge of uncertainty, fashion is stepping up—not to make a statement, but to make a statement . Enter the "lipstick effect," that delightful phenomenon where, in the face of financial doom, we splurge on small luxuries to feel better. It's as if our wallets are on a diet, but our spirits are indulging in a shopping spree. 💄 Lipstick: The Little Red Flag of Recession The "lipstick effect" suggests that during tough times, people opt for affordable indulgences like premium lipsticks, nail polishes, or fancy coffees instead of splurging on expensive handbags or vacations. It's like saying, "I can't afford a holiday, but I can afford to look fabulous while staying home." In the UK, this trend has been evident, with consumers turning to small luxuries such as Estée Lauder lipsticks during economic downturns. 🧵 Recession Chic: Fashion's Subt...

Is London still worth visiting in 2025?

London has changed a lot in the last few years , first changes started after Brexit and then accelerated after the pandemic. Is it still worth visiting? London is beautiful especially for Christmas and this year has been outdone itself with Christmas lights and decorations but there are a few things that have changed. 1.Safety There are so many instances where London has been reported as not as safe anymore. Crowned by the Mayor knighthood that has been a laughing stock recently, we are laughing through tears, London has never had so much crime as recently. To remain safe there are a few things you have to consider - are you wearing any flashy items that can attract unwanted attention? If yes consider hiding them or swapping for something less obvious. Are you a man or a woman, as a man you probably don't understand what women have to go though when it comes to safety, try putting yourself in their shoes, it is more dangerous for a woman to go back home late at night than it...

Why Online Dating Is So Bad in 2025: An In-Depth Look at a Modern Disappointment

Why Online Dating Is So Bad in 2025: An In-Depth Look at a Modern Disappointment Online dating in 2025 is more accessible and sophisticated than ever—but paradoxically, many users report growing frustration, burnout, and disappointment. Despite new features, improved algorithms, and a booming number of apps catering to every niche, the user experience has never felt more hollow. So, why is online dating so bad in 2025? Let's break it down. 1. Algorithmic Fatigue: The Illusion of Choice Most dating platforms rely on algorithms to curate matches. In theory, this should be efficient and tailored—but in practice, it often leads to “option paralysis.” Users are presented with endless choices, which diminishes the perceived value of each match. People swipe endlessly, not necessarily to find a connection, but to see if someone “better” is a swipe away. This commodification of human connection erodes depth and makes forming meaningful relationships harder. 2. Gamification Over Conn...

SIGNS OF A TOXIC FEMALE FRIEND with examples

We have all had that fake toxic friend who pretended she's your bestie. here are some red flags to look out for to avoid them. 4th is a big one! and 7th is just VILE. 20th is the best one. 1. She's harvesting you for social media Meeting someone for the first time and they already blast you over their Instagram stories ? They are just using you to appear popular and as someone who has lots of pretty friends which raises their social proof. Taking photos together but never sending them to you? yes, it's harvest time. 2. She likes exactly the same things, mirroring you She finds out quickly what you like and what are you about and trying to be like you and emulate you. For example if you are obsessed with yoga she will be planning a yoga class with you (fake planning I might add) , you love theatre, she is sending you new plays for this season, you love certain kind of ice cream she will have the same. Actually it is very easy to notice that in a restaurant as she will hav...
