Where to Stay in Chicago: Dana Hotel and Spa
I have booked my flight. The next question is: where to stay in Chicago? As much as I like hotels, I always find this extra difficult when I visit a city for the first time. After all, you don't want to end up in a bad neighborhood, or be too far away from all the...
Where to Stay in Chicago: Dana Hotel and Spa
I have booked my flight. The next question is: where to stay in Chicago? As much as I like hotels, I always find this extra difficult when I visit a city for the first time. After all, you don't want to end up in a bad neighborhood, or be too far away from all the sights and restaurants. Then there's the challenge of hotels I like versus hotels I can afford (unfortunately, most of the time not the same list). I decide to look for a hotel in Downtown Chicago.

Peggy Porschen’s Cupcake Heaven

The last time my parents and I were in London together, I was fifteen and didn't care much about what I wanted to do, see or eat. This weekend however, they came to visit me. For the first time since I moved to the city. Expecting to have a fabulous weekend.... Oh no,...
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013
Every year the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park commissions a different architect to design a temporary pavilion. This year's pavilion is created by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. The result is quite impressive. It's like a cloud made out of white steel. No roofs, no...
Marylebone Summer Fayre and Farmers’ Market
Unfortunately for me, I have to cross half the city to get there, but I love shopping in Marylebone High Street. Here you'll find Daunt Books, the Conran Shop, The Natural Kitchen, La Fromagerie and other great shops, boutiques and restaurants. So when I read that...
