Julie Danziger of EMBARK Beyond

March 23, 2025March 23, 2025 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I first started following EMBARK Beyond in 2020 while locked down in London, and I was immediately inspired by their forward-thinking approach. Fast forward five years, and the company has achieved even more. Julie Danziger, Co-Founder of EMBARK Beyond, is now also a Founding Member of my Breakfast Club, making this journey even more special. [...]

Elizabeth Mullins of the fifth avenue Hotel

June 22, 2024January 23, 2025 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I met Elizabeth through my amazing Breakfast Club ladies who wanted us to connect and meet. Little did I know, Elizabeth Mullins would turn out to be the most inspiring woman I have met in recent memory. Our worlds seemed to be similar with both of us coming from diplomatic backgrounds, having grown up seeing [...]

interview with Frederic Fekkai

January 23, 2024March 3, 2025 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the Frédéric Fekkai salon at The Mark Hotel for as long as I can remember. There’s something about it that just stands out—maybe it’s the sheer glamour, the impeccable service, or the perfect location—but it truly embodies what luxury should be. And of course, Frédéric Fekkai himself is a legend [...]

Coffee with Dede Lahman of Clinton St Baking Co.

August 26, 2023August 26, 2023 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I came across Clinton St. Baking Co. during 2020's lockdowns. Not being able to visit New York, I resorted to living through some amazing channels, including Insider New York that showed us some of the best spots for pancakes. I became obsessed with Clinton St. Baking and was very keen to get behind the scenes [...]

INTERVIEW with Trish McEvoy

February 12, 2023June 26, 2024 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I met Trish exactly 6 years ago at the Arts Club in London. A friend of mine was a huge fan and she really wanted to say hello. I walked up to Trish's table and told her my friend was a massive fan and we would love to speak to her. I didn't know who [...]

INTERVIEW with Michael McCarty

January 22, 2023June 26, 2024 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

For as long as I can remember, I have loved a party and there is no better party than a great restaurant alive with conversation, clinking glasses, smooth service and delicious food.. Michael is an enigmatic personality. He is what restaurateurs should be like - warm, welcoming and with a presence that all guests recognise. [...]

Naomi Heaton of The Other House

October 6, 2022January 22, 2023 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

New luxury is about experiences and being in control. Luxury isn't always traditional.  Naomi's career started as an advertising professional hence it is no surprise that her play of words resulted in The Other House. Naomi has had an extensive career as a property developer since then. Her passions and eye for interiors is visible [...]

An afternoon at Devocion

March 8, 2022 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I stumbled upon Devocion when a friend discovered my coffee blog and encouraged me to pay a visit. I wasn't aware that there could be such a thing as the 'freshest coffee available bean to cup' or of the concept of 'sparkling coffee' both of which are available at Devocion. I organised to visit the [...]

MarieBelle SoHo New York

December 22, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

Nothing beats waking up early in New York to make my way downtown to SoHo. I don't know if it is just me, but SoHo feels like another city. It is chic, bright and the coffee shops are another level of trendy. I had arranged prior to leaving to New York to meet with Maribel, [...]

Coffee with Joy Isaacs of ARgENTUM Apothecary

January 3, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I promised myself that even though 2020 restricted us from meeting new people easily I wouldn't stop reaching out to interesting female entrepreneurs who inspired me and had a special story to share. I have always been very careful about the skincare I use. I try to keep my routine as simple as possible and [...]
