Fusion Suites Saigon


Stay
A little calm modernity in the buzz of one of my favorite cities.

A modern spa stay

Arriving in a cab from the airport, my first impression of this hotel was how modern it was in comparison to the rest of the street. The huge windows filled with views of lush foliage feel abstract and calming. This hotel is upside down. All the action is on the top floor. The roof terrace and restaurant is the place to be. With views across the city, its the best place to get a cocktail before dinner, and the a great start to everyday. Bright and light for your delicious breakfast. I loved the breakfast options. So much fresh deliciousness, from the buffet and menu.

The really special thing about the hotel was the spa. Each floor has a spa room and every guest gets a treatment per day included in their room rate. The perfect answer for spa lovers. It also means every corridor smells of aromatherapy which is heaven. I love that this mood is continued in the rooms, which are predominately decorated with linen and wood.

I found the hotel was in a great location too, walking distance to the Ben Thanh market and then on to Union Square. See my full rolodex on the city for ideas.

A huge thank you to The Luxe Nomad for making my stay happen! Do check them out on Instagram for major holiday inspiration.

Caramelised Tomatoes


SaladsSavourySidesVegetarian

These deliciously sweet tomatoes are perfect on their own or on top of a salad or couscous. I love eating them with fresh herbs on the top tossed with pasta and olive oil for a quick lunch or supper too.

1
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C.
  2. Cut all your Tomatoes in half from side to side (i.e. don’t cut through the stork hole).
  3. Set them in a oven proof dish and cover them in a good glug of Olive Oil.
  4. Then add a good amount of Salt and Pepper to each, followed by a tsp of Dark Muscovado Sugar.
  5. Place in the oven 2 hours.
  6. They will be sticky and glossy when they are done. Enjoy them hot or cold.

A Fashion Proposal


CollaborationsLondonOutfits
I'm so excited to share my first Bridal collaboration. I get asked about my engagement ring and how my Fiancé chose it for me constantly. Honestly, he told me after he proposed that he had looked at all my social media accounts to find out what I liked. He nailed it for me. So I hope this post might make it on to your Pinterest board or Instagram page so that you too can have your dream engagement ring. You never know if sharing an image will change your life. After all, even Mr Perfect needs a little help to get it right sometimes... These beautiful collections were designed by Jenny Packham for Goldsmiths, so have a modern feel that is feminine and soft, just like her dresses. The square set diamonds are from the Gloria Collection, which was inspired by Gloria Swanson and art deco. The Aurora Collection comprises of halo set pieces inspired by the stars. Étoile, the final and purest collection, is given the French name for 'stars'.
