Want to collaborate? Let’s create magical London content together. email me >

Hi friends,

I’m Claire. I moved to London for a career in fashion PR. Think Bridget Jones meets Carrie Bradshaw. I’ve been in love with this city ever since.

Now I create content that celebrates London’s sparkle: seasonal guides, hidden gems, flowers in bloom, and luxe little adventures.

This is a place to explore the city with me and see London through my eyes on my blog and YouTube channel.

I partner with brands, PRs and marketers to bring London stories to life through stylish, shareable content.
