Prague – a city under the stars

[ 1 ] August 21, 2010

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, famous for its gothic architecture, romantic riverside cafes and historic landmarks.

The Vltava River is perhaps what makes this little place so magical. Winding its way through the city, it provides a stunning backdrop for the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque structures that stand proudly on its banks.

And if you’re impressed by day – you should see it at night…

The Jazz Boat (pictured below) is an experience not to be missed. Not only does if combine mouth-watering food with fantastic live music – the views are breathtaking. Float under Charles Bridge, appreciate the beauty of Prague Castle and admire the quirky art installations near Museum Kampa (above).

Nottingham – shop ’til you drop

[ 1 ] July 19, 2010

Love vintage fashion? Jump on a train to Nottingham. From huge warehouses to tiny back-street boutiques, there are hundreds of stores simply bursting with bargains.

Vintage Warehouse, on Lower Parliament street, is packed full of beautiful vintage clothes, from 50s flapper dresses to embellished jackets and oversized cardies. There’s even a ‘£1 pitt’, where you can rumage to your heart’s content. It may smell a little musky, but with all those bargains to be had, who cares?

Cow, on George Street, is another little gem. It’s slightly more expensive than Vintage Warehouse (and smells a LOT better), but it’s UBER chic. Leather bags can be snapped up for a tenner and 50s-style skirts are in abundance. Get in there early to snap up the bargains as they’re unboxed (usually by the till).
