Well, that was interesting… and tiring, but never-the-less; FUN!
Six weeks ago when I decided to set up Let’s do Lunch: an Urban Girl’s Guide To Making Contacts – and Keeping Them, I hadn’t thought about exactly how I could extend it from just being a blog – into a brand or a business! It occurred to me that if I’m trying to find the answers to questions about making contacts, I’d have to put in the practice by organising my own events! Continue reading
Ok, listen up Fresher, your Lecturers are not your best friends. I had to create a catchy title that would spare you from all the other blog posts written specifically for you at this time of year about clubs to dance the night away in, pubs to get wasted away in, and ways of fitting sex in your timetable (don’t forget to always Consent!).

Let’s do Lunch – The Urban Guide Network has reached a milestone of 100 Likes without succumbing to the temptation of Facebook’s bribe to advertise on my behalf if I pay up! It might have been quicker route to take yes, however there’s a lot of pleasure in knowing each one of those “likes” gained was done self-willingly (minus a few friends I probably pestered to click like if they value our friendship… What are friends for if not to like your pages ay?!)

When your friends are also your forward-slash: mentor (though they probably don’t know it yet), you know you have to make the most out of every meeting! Last week I met up with catering co-ordinator and expert of all things Italian (especially pizza), Mr “Made in Italy” aka Luigi, for a catch up at Pizza Pilgrims in Soho. Continue reading
September marks the start of a “new year” for anyone lucky enough to still be a student! So with Freshers week about to start, it occurred to me to arrange a meeting with Pixxa manager Simone and in-house designer Marco at their brand new restaurant located in Adlgate East, to find out what “exclusive” offers they can offer Let’s do Lunch freshers… And it seems I “bagged” myself some bargains which you can enjoy at Pixxa restaurants in London!

You can’t beat a better “welcome to England” than a serving of crispy battered fish and chunky chips! And that was my welcome back to London after being away for the summer, timed perfectly with friends visiting from Milan last week! Continue reading
… delicately poached with lots and lots of creamy avocado dressed in lime on a bed of toasted rye bread and a sprinkling of fresh chillies to get my metabolism going!
My first breakfast back in London, after being away for a month working on projects in the USA and Haiti, was at the Breakfast Club Soho Continue reading
I’m super excited… And it’s over receiving an email (wait there’s more)!
Before heading off to NYC during the summer, remember I made a list of the people I’d want to connect with (click here if you don’t)? And included on that list was Nina Willdorf… No, not a long-lost friend from college, Continue reading
It’s not often you’ll find me in London’s financial district Canary Wharf. Let’s just say, for a girl whose forte was never mathematics, the area can be a little intimidating – even for a go-getting-confident urban girl. However the “Developing Your Self Confidence” workshop offered by Barclays Bank Continue reading
