So everyone knows that Dubai is obesessed with shopping. You just have to see the size of The Mall of Emirates to believe it. Y&R Dubai have taken this passion as the inspiration for their brand new Harvey Nichols campaign. I wasn’t too sure what to make of it at first – but its simplicity has won me over. 
What could be more delightful than making monsters at breakfast? This was the theme of Breakfast Club this week and it was a bit like being back at Playschool again. I loved it. We chatted about all things creative whilst discussing the merit of a furry moustache or indeed a strategically placed button.
So we’re started a Breakfast Club at work. Every Tuesday morning we meet @ 8am at a venue that gets the majority vote and talk about all things creative, or generally just what inspires us. The first one kicked off sucessfully @ Milk Bar in Soho last week when we discussed orange juice, museums, china cups and knitted Oyster Card holders. And if you ever swing by Milk Bar make sure you have some tea – the china cups are so cute!
Finally, I have my very own Slanket! This is quite possibly one of the funniest/greatest inventions ever and I had the pleasure of trying one out this weekend. In a fetching duck-egg blue, my cosy, fleecey Slanket is the perfect addition to my household. It’s also extremely portable so you can wander around the house keeping your arms and front warm. Think of it like half a jumper – it’s melt-into-the-sofa-tastic!

You know when you venture to the cinema and you see those people in the snack queue buying the largest bucket of popcorn humanely possible? Well, that’s me. Yes, i admit it. I’m a secret popcorn addict. So imagine my delight when i heard of a company that produces high quality, handmade, gourmet popcorn? And not just any old flavours either. 479 Gourmet Popcorn offers an abundance of wild flavours that simply wouldn’t sit right in your average salt & sweet counter. Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt, Black Truffle & White Cheddar, Vietnamese Cinnamon Sugar and Madras Curry Coconut & Cashews to name just a few. Only one problem. It’s only available stateside. So i’m thinking posh outdoor cinemas on the Thames complete with gourmet poporn stands could be a winner…who’s with me?
