The Weekend Wonder – Daniell Koepke

Lela London — Sat, 25 May 2013 21:19:15 +0000

“Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their [...]

Review: Wabi, London

Lela London — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:53:44 +0000

I am having a very passionate love affair with Wabi at the moment. Many of you will have seen my review of Wabi’s piquant set menu for this week’s food column at The Hunger, but I urge you to pause before clicking over if you haven’t… Baby, it’s time to turn the lights down low [...]

The Latest Beauty and Fashion Apps for your Phone

Lela London — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:46:40 +0000

If you are one of the select few without a smartphone permanently glued to their palm then I suggest you take a look at the the likes of the samsung galaxy s4 (my latest obsession) and the iPhone and get purchasing, pronto. While I have a knack to obsess over any app that can make my life [...]

What I Wore – Accessories of The Month

Lela London — Wed, 22 May 2013 10:01:32 +0000

With no real purpose to it, I seem to have collected some rather fabulous accessories over the last thirty days. Starting with a hand-brushed bronze Apex at an Angle cuff (both timeless and contemporary) from Bare Collection that I simply couldn’t deny a spot for in my jewellery drawer, I then happened to have undergone [...]

Dressing for Curves (and Getting that Wedding Outfit Sorted)

Lela London — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:10:12 +0000

Though I am proud of my shape and love having curves, dressing them can sometimes be a nightmare in the wrong situation. Especially during wedding season. Occasion wear has to do so many things. There is every likelihood you’ll need to sit, stand, mingle, be photographed, drink, eat and dance in a single dress for up to [...]

Wine Club at The Truscott Arms

Lela London — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:30:05 +0000

Though The Truscott Arms has been on my foodie hitlist for quite some time, my first visit to the plate-popping pub had nothing at all to do with food. Having recently launched The Truscott Wine Club, an event catered for casual wine consumers (me!) and aficionados (not me!) alike, the plan was to head over [...]

How To Not Wear a Dress to a Wedding

Lela London — Mon, 20 May 2013 11:52:36 +0000

Though I tend to live in dresses, the formality of wedding season has me ready to ignore tradition and get a slew of gorgeous trousers to wear come reception time. In a boozy sea of trend-led floral and pastel dresses, a look like this looks exceptionally cool while being extremely comfortable. Get The Look: Corrones [...]

The Weekend Wonder – Wallace D. Wattles

“Whatever you habitually think yourself to be, that you are. You must form, now, a greater and better habit; you must form a conception of yourself as a being of limitless power, and habitually think that you are that being. It is the habitual, not the periodical thought that decides your destiny.” - Wallace D. [...]

Outfit of The Week – New School Vintage

Lela London — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:31:10 +0000

I can’t help but adore the sex appeal that an almost entirely ‘covered up’ outfit can radiate when paired with killer heels and cat eye sunglasses. Want the kind of ‘hot teacher’ look that gets dads banned from attending parent teacher meetings? Pair bespoke stylish frames with vibrant and bold patterns from Todd Lynn and [...]
