Here are three useful, beautiful and authored sites which piqued the team’s interest this month.
The Londoner
Beautiful founder, Rosie quotes Confucius when advising her bountiful readership on their career paths: ‘choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ The Londoner charts Rosie’s glamorous-seeming life, with guest appearances by Custard, a Maltese cross Yorkie.

Happy Reading!
