When I'm not editing the UK's number 1 luxury beauty blogzine fabtips.co.uk - I'm consulting... and consulting means commuting from Wiltshire to London with dreadfully early starts.
My Fiorelli Perla comes with me on the train those mornings, stuffed full of everything bar a laptop - skincare, makeup, three phones (I like to stay connected), hair products, iPad, heels, my notes etc... One of the things I love most about it is its deceptive scale.

On my average day I arrive into Waterloo, then stroll across the embankment suspension bridge to get into soho

I opt for this over tube or taxi as an exhilarating start to the day: Choppers swoop overhead spiriting captains of industry to their 9am's, the London eye creaks slowly round to my left already full of keen sight-seers and to my right the city majestically begins to pierce the skyline. When the sun shines on London it's the best city in the world.
Once in-situ at my 'office' (soho house) instead of reaching for the green juice I get straight on the eggs benedict - I am entirely addicted and have recently discovered eggs Benedict with bearnaise sauce... just have to factor in an additional hour at the gym each week!
...that said if one is up at an ungodly 6am, the old bod needs effective fuel so I don't feel too guilty. I wolf it down and get to work on my iPad.
using my bluetooth keyboard (get one- they're amazing!) to turn it into proper working kit. I cart around waaaay too much other paraphernalia in my Fiorelli Perla to consider giving up precious space for a laptop!

From there on in it's a steady stream of clients and earl grey - everyone from entrepreneurs who need some marketing advice on their incredible new venture to luxury brands who want a tres chic social media strategy through to national newspapers who want to become more entrepreneurial. You name it, I've worked with them (and learnt from them - my clients are fabulous and very smart). My Fiorelli Perla sits next to me looking v professional throughout... well someone has to!
If i've a gap between meetings then i'll FabTip - editing features, keeping eye on our social feeds and briefing the team on our next big venture (FabVision in 2014 - you're going to love it!).

The last meeting of the day inevitably runs over meaning a dash with my Fiorelli Perla to get the 16.50 from Waterloo back to Wiltshire - where this little creature is waiting to give me a warm welcome...
