Nam Long's Opium Den

Okay guys, so I messed up... I was running late, and I forgot Nina (the Nikon), and I had no time to go back and grab her. Sob. So these images are courtesy of Omar Loi, and my Samsung S-not-the-newest-model. But here's what went down at Nam Long's new addition, The Opium Den.

12 Most Instagram-able Coffee Spots in London

Coffee is kind of a big deal in London. And when I say "big deal", I mean, of course, a way of life.

Kicking back at a Neal's Yard Remedies Party

You know when you're keen on a brand, but you're not 100% sure what it feels like/smells like, so shopping online isn't an option? Or when you want to go into a shop to give something a whirl, but you hate the shop assistant getting up in your grill? Yeah, that.

There's no getting around it - we live in a shallow world. Pretty people, and things, are superior to their less attractive counterparts. It might not be fair, but boy, is it true. And there's nothing more exciting than coming across something truly "oooh, so pretty!". Enter, Spectrum Collections.
