While turquoise comes to mind when thinking of the luscious island of Anguilla (take me back to that gorgeous water now, please!), when it comes to London, the colour grey comes to mind — grey, grey, grey skies.
So it was a lovely surprise to throw open the blinds of my suite at the COMO Metropolitan London and be greeted by so much greenery. To say the room was amply sized is an understatement — it certainly had more than enough room to practice yoga with the mat provided in the room (I opted instead to run in the gorgeous Hyde Park for my workout, though).

Hello! I’m so sorry for seeming to have abandoned this blog for a few weeks! I’ve been traveling a helluva lot (and have a few more trips coming up) so between the travel (which is primarily for work) and, you know, writing work, and fitting in some fun — was just in New York so you know some shopping,good eats (yes, including Magnolia Bakery cupcakes!) and seeing friends was essential, this makes for one very tired, tired me…
But the good news is I have so much to post about and some exciting giveaways, coming up so stay tuned!
A favourite new hotel of mine, by the way, in New York? The Standard — phenomenal views (that photo above is taken from my room at sunset), funky modern rooms (as long as you’re good with a glass shower putting you on display to anyone in your suite!) and it’s in the Meatpacking District above the very cool High Line. (It’s also, so I’ve been told, where two scenes of Shame were filmed — if you saw the film, then you know which scenes I’m referring to).

Don’t tell me you don’t take hotel toiletries. Doesn’t everyone? These pretty ones from Etro I pilfered from a recent stay at the new Four Seasons in Toronto. I can’t comment on how good the actual products are just yet, though, as they were too pretty to break open (I instead used the toiletries I’d packed in my overnight bag).
What else do I have in my hotel toiletries hoard? Check out my faves in my post on Travel + Escape!
