Why I packed my gym kit, I have no idea! I seemed to have romantic plans of escaping the melee for a peaceful run around the city every day.

This uber trendy hotel is almost the last on the row, perched above Summerleaze beach, a magnificent vista of twisting sand dunes, grassy hillocks and long rolling waves sweeping in to shore.

The room was filled with flowers and black balloons in keeping with S.Novio’s distinctive branding, and the designers shoes and boots were prominently displayed throughout.

In the Oxford dictionary luxury is defined as  ‘A state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense’. It is a fascinating topic as throughout history it always characterised specific levels of societies all around the world. It manifested itself with very different degrees of expressions depending on territory and accessibility to materials that would intrinsically define the luxurious nature of the products.

What an honour to be one of the privileged few to attend the UK Preview of The Phantom Thread at the Royal Festival Hall last week. To make the occasion even more special, we were treated to a live Q&A with the films director Paul Thomas Anderson and composer Jonny Greenwood beforehand, hosted by renowned critic Mark Kermode. The entire performance was accompanied by the London Contemporary Orchestra playing the soundtrack live, which made for a highly unusual but memorable evening.
