At the very beginning of 2019, we finally chose a date to meet and we discussed a vast array of ideas regarding the setting up of a show-stopping soirée. We both went through a lengthy number of details, creating ideas and I had to think of the theme. Of course, I came to the conclusion that the theme for my 30th would be the 1930’s and so, 1930’s soirée was born.

Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland, after Zurich, and the most international city in Europe with over 40% of its population coming from outside Switzerland. The main industries are banking, “inter-” and non-governmental administration, technology, and tourism. Geneva prides itself on being one of the most beautiful and cultured cities in the world, combining the splendours of nature with a rich palette of historic and architectural offerings, as well as being a major gateway to the Alps, for outdoor enthusiasts all year round.

Once again, I am visiting one of my favourite London hotels, The Lanesborough, and I am delighted to be immediately greeted with an opulent façade, framed by a pair of Christmas trees, decorated with hues of gold and red bringing a luxury art traditional touch.

Every year, London just gets better and better, with the decorations taking the grandest place of all, the many activities to be found becoming so sought after and the department stores offering the best gifts you’ve ever dreamt of. Christmas is a wonderful time of year where there’s the perfect setting for “A Christmas Carol”, the original home of the Christmas cracker and the place where Christmas cards were first debuted – there’s no wonder London is a superbly celebratory city, come each December.

Recently, something new has come to the city. Are you ready guys? This brand new, luxurious Fortnum and Mason shop has arrived in the heart of The Royal Exchange. To any Fortnum fans out there, it’s time for some first-class shopping in a new, desirable location- bringing Fortnum & Mason to the heart of the city for the first time, along with an exclusive dining destination in the form of The Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant.

Britain is home to some of the most charming, heart-melting villages in the world. With quaint pubs, idyllic stone cottages, and fantastic country walks, these evoke the romance of a time gone by, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing rural escape.

Recently, I have heard about Jo Malone London’s first ever fragrance collection for men, which means this could make Christmas shopping that little bit easier. Everyone’s favourite fragrance house has launched a collection for the boys. Meet Jo Malone London x Huntsman, a quintessentially British collaboration with the Savile Row tailors – and one which looks as good as it smells.

It has become almost a tradition for me visiting the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, as it’s where I have celebrated so many of my landmark occasions –  Halloween, Birthday, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire always brings back happy memories and it such a nice place to enjoy. I have always been a huge admirer of the Four Seasons Resorts throughout the world, so it’s especially nice to get back to experience their hospitality once again.

Recently, I have heard about a new happening in Cambridge, which has attracted my attention. The oldest hotel in Cambridge has undergone a huge refurbishment after a two-year closure and a £80 million injection – the rebuilt hotel has just re-opened in August 2018. I did wonder how come I had never heard of this hotel before, this is the opportunity to find out more about The University Arms, a grand hotel of all in Cambridge.
