The Notting Hill Bookshop
I have this little tradition with The Little Prince. Whenever I find a bookshop I really love, I look for a copy. I never need another one, obviously, but I still like finding a different edition, a different cover, something slightly new about the same story. So when I finally walked into The Notting Hill Bookshop, I already knew what I was going to look for first.

Bleecker Baker Street: THE Burger
We went to Bleecker on Baker Street because we wanted one thing: a really good burger. We got exactly that. We also got a small reminder that we live in London when we looked at the price.

Why ARKET Will Always Mean More to Me Than Just Coffee
Some places become part of your life without really meaning to. You go in for a coffee, sit down for a while, open your laptop, and before you know it, the place becomes tied to a version of you that was building something. That is a little bit what ARKET became for me. Yes, it is a coffee stop. Yes, it is aesthetically beautiful in that very effortless Scandinavian way. Yes, it is the kind of place where everything looks calm, clean and thoughtfully put together. But for me, it became more than that. This is where my website was also built. And I think that is why it will always have a place in my heart.
