The Square - Restaurant

Excellent wine, impeccable service, very attractive staff (sorry, but a huge bonus!) and the cheese was delectable. One of the best French restos in London.

Selfridges - Department store

Used to be my favourite store but nowadays I favour Harrods. Perhaps I'm too old, uncool or boring to appreciate the excessively loud music, the staff who walk around like they own the place instead of providing a service, or perhaps it's just too crazy in there. What happened? 5 years ago, it was the coolest store in all the land. A real shame, because it stocks everything a 27-year-old woman could possibly want.

I don't want people to kiss my tush but I really have no interest in some stuck up 19-year-old chewing gum loudly and making plans for Saturday night when she's supposed to be helping me. Nor do I care for the chaos that is the ground floor.

One thing I must say, they always have the most amazing window displays and this Christmas is no different - gorgeous!

Musée du Quai Branly - Museum

Enormous building with spectacular gardens, architecture and plant life, and that's before you're through the door! The most interesting collection of art, fashion, sculpture, fabric and so on from Asia, Africa, South America, Pacific Isles and other corners of the world most other museums have forgotten.

Great for adults and children alike. On the week days, they often have story-telling for children (and us grown-ups) which comes complete with dance.

One of the best things about the museum is that despite its size, it's very easy to navigate.

Hôtel Sezz - Paris Hotel

This is my hotel of choice when in Paris - understated, excellent service, extremely calm and not a child in sight - pure bliss!

If you want a peaceful, luxurious break, this the place to stay. Located close to the river (great for those early morning jogs) and the staff are so helpful with making reservations, taxis and so on.

I can usually find something to complain about but no, not here. Love it!!

Fenwick - Department Store

Blah - the dullest store known to man! Walking through the doors is like walking into the 1980s. They're so out of touch it's hard to believe that they're still going. Never again.
