Walking down the Kings Road this morning, a new shop appeared on my fashion radar (next to one of my other favourite Spanish shops, Bimba y Lola ) called El Ganso. El Ganso is a…

Two consecutive posts (this one and the one that follows) regarding wine & spirits might give you the wrong impression about stylishmews. Let me explain… A few weeks ago…

I normally try to visit, taste, or experience the things I write about on stylishmews. This is one occasion when I am going to put that premise aside and write about something I…

I am going to let you in on my most recent discovery. If you are a stylishmews follower and consider yourself a bit of a reluctant shopper, get yourself to Tottenham Court Road.…

London is always full of surprises! Tonight I was invited to attend a very intimate soirée held at the Royal College of Music by my very cultured friend M. Thanks to her, I had…

A friend asked me recently… “what is the point of your blog, exactly”? It is a legitimate question which I addressed in my very first post. I like to explore and…

What is a woman like you watching a show like this? When it comes to television, you might say my taste borders on stylishly low brow and eclectic. I am a sucker for period dramas…

The thought of driving to Bermondsey for the exclusive preview brunch of an artist, was not what I felt like doing on a rainy Sunday morning. My friend, the brilliant Latin…

Attention all foreigners: when an English person tells you to put your things in the boot of the car, what they actually are referring to is the trunk (why didn’t they say…

Sonia is one of the most elegant women I know. She also happens to be a very good cook who rarely, if ever, makes use of a recipe. That is why I jumped at the chance to observe…

Never drop in on anyone unannounced, unless, of course, you happen to be visiting Houghton Hall in Norfolk on a Monday or Tuesday. Earlier this summer I had to postpone my visit…

If you are going to the Southbank Centre this weekend, give yourself some extra time and drop by the Taste of India Festival. You are in for a real treat, that is, if you are a…

For some, what comes to mind when hearing the “F” word is an expletive. The only thing I can think of when the letter “F” is mentioned is Food…

I promised you my posts would never be boring. A few months ago I read about a retail concept, the Late Night Chameleon Cafe, in Dalston. Dalston? Where the heck is Dalston? If…

Do you have 9+ minutes you can spare? Good, because the video, which hurrah, I have figured out how to embed (easy for some of you, monumentally difficult pour moi) is a…
