The spirit of Christmas lives on, despite the stillness of High Street shopping and the absence of Christmas light launches. Such adverse times highlight the importance of relationships and, as such, enable us to make the most of every moment. For some, the latter is a means of survival. Confined to a “bubble,” we are

Style is the best address, and a viable fashion product was the missing ingredient of my business model. I launched Style Icon in 2005, followed by The Lifestyle Collective blog in 2017. The two did not satiate my entrepreneurial appetite. ‘Great things come in threes’. I yearned for a new challenge; thus, Shades and Coffee—an

Life in the fast lane has slowed down remarkably, but it has not lost complete momentum, thankfully. The glamorous, high-paced lifestyle and the luxury of owning a few supercars still exist among some, despite the economic instability. Just when I thought the rest of 2020 would fall into further social disintegration, my hope was restored

Is there still a stigma attached to Afro-hair? Well, I have a hairstory for you. Throughout adolescence, my curly hair was a frequent topic of conversation.

Since the lockdown order, I, ironically, do not feel like a prisoner in my home but rather like a new person who has elevated from a cocoon of personal growth, strength and reflection. The centre of my world is officially my home that used to feel somewhat empty. Work and play have merged amidst a

Unprecedented global destruction is a sign of the times. Before the turn of the decade, who would have thought that 2020 would become paralysed by a deadly virus? The world is in pieces, with the global economy and millions of lives shattered – just like that. Our ‘normal’ way of living is at a standstill.

What is more important to you: makeup or skincare products? Less is more; thus, my preference is ‘Nakin‘ (i.e., a natural anti-ageing skincare regime) for the day and glamorous makeup for the evening as a way of channelling my inner Pat McGrath (if only the latter were correct!). I’ve always preferred the look of well-kept

I have always appreciated the tranquillity of Afternoon Tea since my mother booked it as a birthday treat once. I am a traditionalist in many ways, including my love of cream cheese sandwiches with cucumber or smoked salmon and an English breakfast (I mean – tea, of course!). Over the years, however, the concept of
