Honeymoon Beaches

Brides Magazine recently published their 10 best honeymoon beaches for 2016. The beaches are, as you would expect, in fabulously exotic and beautiful far flung places including French Polynesia, Mexico and Seychelles.

We absolutely agree that these destinations are wonderful, but also think that you don’t have to travel long-haul to find a gorgeous seaside retreat.   Here are a few which we love, and which prove that you don’t have to go too far to relax in the sun.

Last weekend I visited the very beautiful Slaugham Place in Sussex to celebrate the wedding of the daughter of a dear friend.

Food and Fashion

What a fabulous week so far.

Yesterday we finally manage to get a reservation at the much sought after Kitty Fisher's restaurant in Shepherd's Market, Mayfair. Delicious food stylishly presented and beautifully served - crab, burratta with honey, gazpacho, duck and beef plus fab coffee. Great place to take for a fun evening, privately for about 18.

And today I have had privilege of visiting the incredible London Maison of Ralph and Russo to see some of their breathtaking Evening Couture Collection – stunning Bridal and really special Occasion exquisite creations.
