The Dictator of Taste is Schooling You
Cartel life is an exploration of colour, commerce, and connection.
Here’s what a unique 2-day Staycation designed by Ideas Cartel looks like – a new age of hospitality.
If you’re like me, hunkered in at home and craving the indulgent opulence of a decadent Afternoon Tea, then order in the experience from the comfort of home.
Charly’s Bakery now has a bountiful High Tea boxed beautifully. Perfect for 2 (but an excess of storable pleasure for 1 too) the High Tea menu is incredible in its diverse and inclusive offerings.
This time, my staycation moments are being made at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel.
Find out if this 4-star Newmark Collection hotel checks all the boxes for hygiene protocols, and just what hospitality elements make up its enjoyable easy luxury, now!
Its soundtrack is murmurs, and its look has the charming finish of an editorial draw, while its flavours meld humble peasant dishes with pleasant technical culinary expertise and powerful contemporary plating.
Welcome to Pajamas & Jam Eatery!
Buckle up for my Stylish SAFE Stay series start, because building consumer confidence is the purpose of smacking readers, visitors and employees in the face with hospitality health and safety guidelines – that’s unavoidable!
I cant dress up to work from home every day during lockdown, but I found the energy to play dress-up with some of my favourite pieces. Here’s an outfit breakdown…
Coping with the Covid-19 lockdown effects, while self-isolating solo, is no joke!
There are no cars…no crowds…no noise.
It’s eerie, and unsettling.
Experiences with giraffes aren’t just for luxury lodges and the great wilds of my continent.
Meeting a Giraffe has to be a 2020 highlight!
I now seem to be an ingénue of winter. I’m lost on how to begin properly fortifying myself this year, but I’m starting with sweaters.
Careful consideration of my frugal and uninventive grocery shopping habits during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, has opened me up to the functionality of soups as perfect winter meals.
As restrictions relax, and people choose to calculatingly open themselves up to the world, style bears consideration – thus my glittering mask for errands!
Figuring out new breakfast bagel combinations, what to watch on Netflix, and why fruit is a hit-or-miss with me…
I am honestly just gushing about my extensive book collection, the shortlist for weekend reads, and ruminating on my book store shopping habits.
Toasting to the nearly bankable possibilities to recover & thrive, for our tourism industry, now that leisure travel is unlocked…After all: What’s a Travel Writer without actual travel – a nostalgic vagabond?
Its sad to think about all the bright & raw talents that stopped designing because of a lack of substantial and sustainable industry support. Atleast I have this coat as a piece of one local brands history!
Doctors are diagnosing many more cases of depression and anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing social isolation.
Right now, I’m clinging to the mundane to stay sane & thrive.
I randomly just realized my breakfast today, resembled the much controversial airplane food look. My creations were divine – find out the makings now…
There are still so many Winter Essentials I still need, but a good place to start, is ERRE fashion house. Today’s AW 21/22 OOTD is shrouded in warmth and textured design.
What would a love letter to travel entail? I’m thinking of my vagabond treks across Europe, Africa, and the America’s…and there’s so much wanderlust in my memories!
I recently did a grocery run in the $93 bright fizzy yellow PUMA Rise Neon Women shoe, and I love how durable & chic they are, for a non-performance sneaker.
I’m a restaurant and takeout girl through and through, but it turns out that I can eat healthy, out of sheer boredom for the same home-cooked meals which I, myself, prepare. Today’s lunch is so plant-based healthy
A birthday in isolation, hundreds of miles from family, and minutes from friends I cant see – this cake-less birthday is a particularly momentous one because atleast I’ve survived a pandemic so far, right?!
Self-care with skin care, book lairs, and good threads!
If you’re questioning my high fashion attire, let it be known that the culture-shifting lockdown means the fashion rule book is out of the window.
“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” – Henry James
