Blogs!

Admittedly I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm really getting into blogs at the moment so I thought I'd share a couple of my current faves with you. It's a pretty random selection and nothing to do with great dates in London!

Inspiring Interiors - My daily fix of amazing interiors from Sweden to Peru via England and New England! Kifus does an amazing job of regularly updating and it really does what it says on the tin… inspires! 

B's Beauty Blog - A friend of mine has just started blogging about beauty treatments. Considering she is obsessed with them it's going to be one to watch! 

Sally Serves It Up - You've probably seen me retweet some of Sally's delicious recipes already but if you haven't you should definitely take a look. Written in a down-to-earth way Sally gives great tips on healthy meals for busy working peeps. 

Wearing It Today - A brilliant (jealousy inducing) daily fashion blog from the super stylish editor of Red Magazine. It's inspiring but achievable at the same time and it always cheers up a day in the office when the newsletter pings up on my screen! 

Before the Big Day - I've got to mention it… anyone getting married then this blog is brilliant. Full of ideas from DIY to full blown glamour. It's such a great resource. 

I'd love to know what your favourite blogs are... come on, share and share alike!

Dinner at Harrison's

Last month one of our lovely writers, Sally from Sally Serves It Up, popped over to Harrison's in Balham to sample its culinary delights... here's what she had to say about it:

"Harrison's is definitely considered one of the cooler haunts of Balham. The celebrity connection (it's co-owned by Sam Harrison - of Sam's Brasserie fame, and fish guru Rick Stein) means that you absolutely have to try it once. Perfect for first dates and old fashioned date nights alike, it provides the ideal balance of sleek date setting (note perfect dim lighting) with a more relaxing location than hectic central London. 

Start the evening off with a bang by ordering some of the Colchester Rock Oysters. There are show-stoppingly good. Alternatively, there's also a sharing board - perfect to have with your date. The crunchy fish and chips (boy) and smoked chicken salad (girl) tasted how they should but it was the well chosen and affordable wine list that was impressive – go for the South African De Wetshof Estate Chardonnay, it was fantastic. For pudding, share the Chocolate Marquise with hazelnut ice cream - indulgently good and worth every calorie..."

Thanks Sal,
