Skylight - theatre play review

Skylight has been on London theatre scene for a while now. I was looking forward to seeing it as it has one of my favourite actresses in it, Carey Mulligan and of course Bill Nighy. As the story of the two lovers unfold , we get to know the characters , it is an interesting study of the personalities and quite stereotypical class backgrounds. Contrasting the "rich" and the "poor" being involved in a love triangle. Predictably , there was a strong hint of feminism and Bill Nighy character has brought up strong memories of the character he played in "Love actually" film , which was a bit disappointing to be honest, I think he can do better than that. These are my two and only criticisms of the play which I have enjoyed otherwise and recommend. It is funny and has a lot of emotions that I have enjoyed. It seems to be on stage on and off so definitely worth watching if are a theatre fan. London theatre review Skylight review Skylight play honest review

LUXURY AND DECADENT LONDON DATE IDEAS

London has an amazing choices when it comes to entertaining and impressing your date. Here are some luxury and decadent date ideas you can indulge in whether you are a Londoner or just visiting. Champagne terrace At Harrods and luxury lingerie shopping There is nothing better than having some champagne and indulging in luxury shopping afterwards. Harrods offers a couple of champagne bars , my favourite is the top floor Perrier-Jouet terrace. Some champagne with a view over Knightsbridge and then moving onto the vast choice of luxury lingerie brands. There is so much choice from La Perla to Agent Provocateur and many more in between. There is someone for everyone. Champagne and Oysters There are so many places in London where you can enjoy champagne and oysters that are known for being an aphrodisiac. If that is true you have to find out yourself.Here are some of my recommendations - best places for oysters in London but there are of course many more choices. Rooftop restaurant or b

OLD FASHIONED GENTLEMAN - A DYING BREED OR STILL WHAT WOMEN WANT?

Are gentlemen a dying breed or are they still going strong as it seems this is still what women want? Let's look at some qualities of a gentleman : 1. He is reliable. Always keeps his word and you can rely on him , he will never let you down. 2. He is always on time, by that I mean actually 10 minutes early, he would never let a lady wait for him especially not in a public place like a restaurant or a bar, that's unacceptable. 3. He always dresses well and is well groomed even for casual occasions. Simple a stylish outfits, effortlessly chic. 4. He always organises a restaurant or an activity and makes sure the lady gets home safely afterwards by booking a taxi especially if it is late at night. 5. He always controls his emotions especially in public. 6. He is always polite to everyone and even charming. He respects everyone and has good manners. 7. He would never allow a lady to pay for anything especially that he is aware how much effort and investment she puts it to look g

Studio Frantzen restaurant review

Studio Frantzen is an amazing restaurant located in Harrods departament store in the top floor. It is quite new and I was very excited to visit it and I was not disappointed. I went there for dinner and the ambiance and decor is very minimal and chic.Lots of wood, dimmed lights, booths. Very modern. As you walk in , it is open plan and you can also see the kitchen which is also nice and interesting to see what is happening there. The menu is great and there is something delicious for everyone. I started off with a yummy cocktail, pink of course, then I had a sashimi selection starter and then baby monkfish main course, all of which was absolutely divine. I can't wait to visit again and sample other things from the menu. I also had a dessert which as delicious, foie gras ice cream. The service is fantastic and the staff is very helpful in choosing the right thing on the menu for your taste, they give great recommendations. I am looking forward to visiting again and maybe this

SOHO HOUSE MEMBERS CLUB REVIEW

London Soho House is a members club that has many varied venues across London , here are some that I have been to and what I think about them, are they worth it? Soho House is meant to be a place for people who work in media and other creative professions. White City House - a massive venue in White City with restaurants and bars and a swimming pool on the rooftop. There is all you need to be entertained, concerts, shows, cabaret, restaurants ( I lived the Japanese restaurant there) and of course the famous swimming pool. Whereas the venues itself is luges , the pool area gets very crowded even on a Monday so it is a bit tricky to really enjoy it. I wish the pool was bigger. Otherwise I love the venue and the service is always super nice and helpful. Little House in Mayfair. As the name suggests it is very small and suitable for drinks after work if you happened to be in Mayfair area. They also serve food and have live piano on occasions. A small bar and restaurant area. It is a cut

3 BEST SPRING HANDBAGS UNDER £500

I am always on the lookout for the next best handbag, especially in spring and summer we want a new arm candy that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg while being super cute. Here are my top 3 picks. I am gong for light tones this spring that would go with any outfit. 1. Michael Kors MK has been a bit frowned upon by fashionistas but I actually really like that brand, it delivers quality and style at a very good price point. I don't care that someone else has the same bag, it's all about who wore it better! My pick for spring is MK Soho bag. It has a perfect size and shape to be timeless but also the puffy trend is there to keep the fashionistas happy. 2. Coach Tabby Top Handle. What a cute little bag in perfect size to match anything this spring. It comes in different colours as well , same as MK of course. I love this shape, it is a timeless bag we can use for a very long time. 3. Polene Nano. This little beauty is perfect for spring essentials and offers high quality and s

SANTINI RESTAURANT REVIEW- London Italian restaurant

Santini is a lovely Italian restaurant located in London Belgravia. I have visited it recently and I was impressed and happy that it hasn't changed and even improved after the pandemic. As you walk in you are welcomed to a beautiful bar area with a seating area and a bar where you can sit as well. It is very glamorous and has a lovely vibe. The restaurant itself also has a great atmosphere and has an inviting layout , some tables are inside looking out onto an outdoor terrace with tables and lots of little lights which makes it perfect for a date. It has a lovely ambiance and is also amazing in the summer. The food is Italian and there are a lot of choices... very difficult to choose so I guess I will have to come back to try more dishes. I had tuna tartare to start and then scallops , all was absolutely delicious. My friend had a salad and then tagliatelle.Lots of Gavi di gavi wine as well... Finished off with some chocolate and dessert wine. The service was super attentive and

How to do it successfully and avoid being ignored and wasting lots of time? here are some tips.Bearing in mind attractive women have many options to chose from. 1. Introduce yourself.
