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, [...]

Intercontinental New York, Return to Manhattan

December 16, 2021December 18, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I was nervous before the big trip. I was flying back to New York after exactly 20 months and it was hard to believe that the time had arrived. Something in me felt like it was just yesterday that I was in Manhattan. However, another part of me knew deeply that a lot of time [...]

Ozohu Adoh of Epara

September 21, 2021September 21, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

I interviewed Ozohu during the pandemic remotely but I had the pleasure to meet her in person this autumn which I am extremely glad about. Meeting Ozohu in person made me realise how much I have missed connecting with female entrepreneurs and leaders. When I met Ozohu in person, we immediately connected over life and [...]

An Ode to that Pink Building on the Upper East Side

April 30, 2021April 30, 2021 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

My first trip as an adult to New York was in 2014. It was a hot summer and I was in the city for a brief visit. I treated myself to a special night at The Mark Hotel which was exceptional and swanky. Some industry colleagues told me about it in London and it seemed [...]

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 [...]

Erin Jeanne McDowell: The Pie Maestro

December 15, 2020December 15, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

This year has done unthinkable things to me. I missed New York mentally. I still do. But I began thinking about all the places I missed and how could I recreate those specific desserts at home. An American Pie and Banana Cream Pudding aren't available here. So I had to find a way to curb [...]

Coffee with Clare Price of Guava & Gold

November 24, 2020November 24, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

In October, during our limited freedom to mingle and meet people, I met Clare Price for an extended brunch in Notting Hill! We were so happy to be able to connect after a very tiresome summer. We still felt the looming anxiety on what was next with the pandemic but we also felt grateful that [...]

Coffee with Hugues Pouget of Hugo & Victor

October 16, 2020November 23, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

There is only one thing I can say with the current uncertainty of travel - thank God I went to Paris when I could even if it was in August. I had the pleasure of visiting the Hugo & Victor Boutique in Paris. It is located between the 6th and 7th arrondissements; the Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in [...]

My First Visit to Paris: Hotel Gramont

September 12, 2020October 19, 2020 Saira RasheedLeave a comment

Paris for the first time... I waited for 11 years for my British Passport. I didn't want to go through the constant hassle of getting visit visas, so when I became a British national in January, I knew this could be it - the doors to freely traveling within the EU and many other countries [...]
