Alcazar Lounge

September 8, 2017

I’ve now been to Alcazar lounge twice and absolutely loved it both times! I must point out this Is a shisha lounge but I don’t smoke shisha and it’s far from a ‘typical shisha lounge’ it has more of a restaurant vibe. I can’t rate the shisha since I didn’t smoke it and I have never done it before ...

Tarshish

June 29, 2017

Tarshish is a new Turkish and mediterranean grill restaurant based in Wood Green, I believe it has been a year since they opened. Within that year I have been to Wood Green a couple of times but I have never seen it before, probably because its hidden at the top at the end of the high street. The aesthetics of the restaurant is something you ...

Feradje Abayas

February 22, 2017

Abayas are not only the most modest type of clothing for a woman to wear but they’re also the most elegant and sophisticated. I love wearing abayas and I would love to start wearing them more regularly but I do find them harder to wear in colder seasons so I tend to wear them during the summer or for special occasions. You can never go ...
