Ben Youssef Madersa was an Islamic college, and is now a museum fully open to the public. I've visited before on my last trip to Morocco, and couldn't wait to visit again. You can…
Rose red On our last day at the Movenpick in Marrakech, the hotel prepared a beautiful surprise for us – they filled one of their pools with thousands of red rose petals to make our stay even more memorable.Dress: Vesper247 | Shoes: Maison Martin Margiela for H&M …
My wanderlust journey started a three years back right here at St Paul's Cathedral in London, and Mariko and I did our very first shoot here. So it seemed pretty fitting that so many years (and shoots) down the line I came back right here with Mariko to shoot another. This time I am accompanied with rose gold Wanderlust bracelet by Wanderlust and Co to mark the milestone. Over the last 6 months I have taken many small steps to build and…
City of London, or just City, or the Square Mile, is London's financial district. I used to work here for a few years and since then it has always felt like home. It is one of London's most historic corners, full of little cobble-stoned streets, church yards and buildings with a rich history. I like it for the same reason most people don't: it's completely dead over the weekend. No people, no cafes, nothing is open. I'm not a big…
Our next adventure with with May took us to the Place de la Concorde. At 7am we were there, watching the sunrise and (unfortunately) male joggers in some far too tight and far too see-through lycra. Turns out in continental Europe they don’t way shorts over the top. Having seen arguably far too many sights all before 9 am, we off up the road to the Trocadero to watch the first of the tourists come for the best views of…
Next stop on our whirlwind tour of Paris with May was Palais de Justice de Paris an the stunning stayed glass windows of Sainte-Chapelle. Top: Helmut Lang | Jeans: H&M…

Off to a Paris for a quick minute. Mostly taking it easy and meandering though the quiet afternoon corners at Palais Royale gardens. Jumper: All Saints | Jeans: H&M | Bag: Zara | Bracelet: Shaun Leane | Pendant: Shaun Leane…
Back in Paris. But this is more of a throwback than a back. My good friend and fellow blogger May took a trio to Paris, and as I was doing some digital filing I stumbles on a treasure trove of shots from our trip. These were taken at one of my all time favourite places, Madeleine Cathedral. Have a look at my more recent visit here. Shirt: Equipment | Jeans: H&M| Shoes: United Nude…
My next adventure took me across Eastern Europe, and the first stop along the way was Budapest in Hungary. One full day is absolutely not enough to cover off this magical place, but I managed to see a fair amount, and will do my usual top 5 rundown. In the meantime I spent the first evening exploring the surrounding area outside out cute little AirBnB apartment. We were lucky enough to stay right next to the opera house, and…
Our first and last morning in Oxford was a blur. I was trying to get all the sights in before breakfast and while I have my personal Oxford tour guide on hand. The Hertford Bridge, often called the Bridge of Sighs, was top of my list after the Boolean Library and Christchurch. Jumper: Zara | Jeans: Zara (similar)| Shoes: Reiss | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim…
Straight of the train from Paris and onto train(s) to Oxford. I say trains, because there were many. We spent two days seeing all of England and not much of Oxford, thanks to living in probably the only country that has running water and electricity but a rail infrastructure which doesn’t run because of weather. Any weather. In autumn it’s leaves on the track, in winter it’s a quarter inch of snow, or frost, or too much heat…
Here are a few more moody moments from the streets of Paris. We had only 1 more day left in the city and had made the most of it, getting up early to play tourist around some of the most well-known streets of the 2nd arrondissement.

Paris is a very photogenic city on the outside, but it turns out it’s also a looker on the inside as well. I have been by the Palais Garnier many time but have never been in. It’s work it, it’s like a mini Versailles on the inside, and right in the heart of Paris.

The next stop on mine and May’s Paris adventure was this charming little place opposite Pont Des Arts. The bridge itself is worth a visit too. One question though – if one of the locks falls off the bridge, does that mean that relationship is dead in the water? Top: Helmut Lang | Jeans: H&M | Shoes: United Nude| Bag: Zara…
