So, in the post where I showed you around my home – along with some knick-knacks in it, there was one item that definitely caught everyone’s eye and that, (unsurprisingly, seeing as we all love travel) is the World Map artwork on the wall. Personally, it was one of those things where the moment I saw it, I … Continue Reading

This is one of the easiest party decorations you’ll find out there (and one of the cheapest too). Best part is that it adds such a cool effect to your party and can be installed in pretty much any room at the party! Cue – the Dance-floor Disco Balloons! All you need are the following: … Continue Reading

I’ve always been a sucker for clean and airy spaces (which typically tend to be painted white) but lately, I found myself more and more interested in pastel colours (by lately, I mean over the past 6 months or so). My obsession with pastel colour hasn’t been a conscious thought-out process, it has been more … Continue Reading

** Competitions now closed** It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but seeing as summer time is upon us and lots of holiday planning has started, I figured it makes sense to pull together this starter for 10 and hopefully, in some little way, help you see more of the world.. and … Continue Reading

I’m a sucker for beaches – I love the smell, the relaxing sounds of the crashing waves, the sunshine, relaxing with drinks on them… Darn! Got that silly Piña colada song stuck in my head now! “If you like Piña Coladas…” The thought of beaches and this weekend got me thinking about what comes naturally with them … Continue Reading

Growing up, watercolours used to seem so amateurish to me. Probably because this was the first medium I tried to use to paint and as you probably already know, I am a terrible painter/artist. I can’t draw, I can’t really paint and even if you asked me to draw a dog now, I’m pretty sure … Continue Reading

Okay, I have total ‘office-lust’ today! I’m not a fan of grey, old offices that seem boring! who is, right?!? I would love to meet this person that decided that drab, grey offices seemed perfect environments for people to spend the better portion of their working lives in! They deserve a good telling off! 🙂 Most … Continue Reading

I’m too excited to sit still – I’ve almost fallen off my chair in excitement and no, this is not one of those times where I’ve had way too many cups of coffee! I’m very pleased to announce that *cue dramatic pause* THE DEPARTURE LOUNGE IS NOW OPEN!!! Confused? What is The Departure Lounge? I … Continue Reading

Following the release of the Hand Luggage App for Android Phones, we’re pleased to announce that The Hand Luggage Only app is now available for download for iPhones! (Whoop! Whoop!!!)

Yup! You heard that right! You didn’t think I was going to leave you off the celebrations now did you? Seeing as you’re probably stocking up on the Christmas and that special bottle of champagne to see in the New Year, the kind folks at 31Dover.com are giving away a classic bottle of Moet and … Continue Reading

I’m a sucker for converted open spaces – I’ve said time and time how much I love the juxtaposition of the old and new in these living spaces (yes, these are not just ‘apartments’ to me, they’re so much more than that) and judging from your comments on here, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, you’re fans of … Continue Reading

Let’s jump into it, shall we?   1.) Kicking things off is this amazingly warm and spacious apartment with a lovely cosy feel! It gives the feeling of being a family home (and child friendly) but that open fire place says otherwise. Big plus point, you get lots of light and direct sunlight into the flat! … Continue Reading

… yeah, you know its coming so grab yourself a glass of bubbly while I sit down and brace yourself while I sing your praises! 😀 But first, I’m going to break with protocol and talk a bit more about numbers. This year, we’ve seen numbers on the blog grow to amounts we couldn’t even … Continue Reading

Kings Cross St Pancras is one of London’s most iconic buildings. I still remember vividly the first time I saw it – I was transfixed and stared at it in awe for ageeees! Well till we drove past it anyway. 🙂 Back then, I remember the whole neighbourhood being slightly grimy yet this in now way … Continue Reading
