The image of a student flat littered with empty beer cans, pizza boxes, stained wallpaper and the odd rat, has been replaced with London’s luxury student accommodation. But why are so many students choosing to study in one of the most expensive cities in the world? With a range of high end studio flats and shared apartments, more graduate employers than the rest of the…

When it comes to summer shoes, I’m not your sandal and flip flop kinda gal. I’m all about bold coloured trainers and keeping these little toes of mine hidden. After running marathons and all the training I’m so conscious of my feet as they tend to take a good battering so I like to give people a better reason to check out my feet with my…

As already mentioned numerous times on this blog, I love spending time out in Essex. I work all week in Central London, spend around 12 hours a week commuting and don’t want to be wasting my weekends on trains!
