Vienna After Dark and Hotels

December 4, 2011

Vienna After Dark and Hotels The Vienna State Opera A night at the opera is a must for all visitors to Vienna. Closed in July and August, opera season runs from September to June. It normally costs between 100 – 280 euros, it’s usually quite easy to book when you arrive unless your looking for really specific seats. Smart dress code applies.

Bali Sleeping

Bali Sleeping Dreamland Beach Where to stay The main resort areas in Bali are Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Bay. Kuta is effectively the commercial centre, it’s the Aussie equivalent of Benidorm, good for surfers and partying. It’s quite tacky, a visit is ok but I wouldn’t want to stay there. Nusa Dua is aimed at honey moon couples and families, all the main international luxury hotel chains

Singapore Sleeping Where to Stay Apart from the iconic places to stay in Singapore, namely Raffles and The Marina Bay Sands (see after dark) there are hundreds of fantastic hotels to choose from. For great deals on boutique hotels check out www.splendia.com Singapore isn’t that big and it’s easy getting around in a taxi, I would recommend the best areas to stay if you’re on holiday are the Marina or Orchard

Paris After Dark Le Royal Monceau (see hotels below) Where? Paris, France When? I’ve been to Paris more times than I can remember, the first time officially was in my mother’s tummy (maybe why I like French food so much!), through to the many work trips, fashion weeks and shoots I’ve been on over the past few years.

Toulouse – Intro

May 16, 2011

Last week I spent a delightful weekend in the South of France. My boyfriend’s family own a gite (converted farm house) in Le Verdier in the wine region of Gaillac. It’s a great destination for chilling out, wine tasting, eating delicious French food and walks through the vineyards with the gite dog Gigi. The flight from London takes an hour and a half to Toulouse. Easy-jet flies there now so
