one fine stay

Whether you stay at a hotel, rent an apartment or crash at a friends' house feeling comfortable is key to enjoying any trip - at least for me. So for our recent trips to London I decided to try an apartment rental service a friend once recommended. I am now officially, for London at least, hooked on Onefinestay. If only for the booking process, the friendly welcome and the iPhone you are entrusted with during your stay. What I really love though are the magazines they publish (which feel more like books) and their blog (surprise surprise). 

So if you are heading to London, Paris, NYC, Los Angeles and now also Rome do consider them. But in any case check out their blog. I've posted a few pictures with the links below. Enjoy :) 

dreaming of winter

Dreaming...well honestly it is more like planning, preparing, bracing....and a little dreaming. Next month I will fly off to London for a short visit and with the winter temperatures in Europe dropping below zero I am (constantly) thinking about a winter coat. A thick coat. And so the search through Pinterest and other blogs began. And I fell in love. With the idea of winter. Below are some of my favouite finds.
