Sushi Waka, London W1

My local Japanese restaurant in Camden Town. It's family-run, friendly and no frills - and does amazing food. sushiwaka.co.uk

Café Gratitude, LA

This organic vegan café offers great raw (and cooked) food. It's all so delicious it is a great place to have your first experience of raw food. cafegratitudela.com

Judges Bakery, Hastings

Just walk in and smell the organic bread baking in the ovens, and the home-made cakes - all like Granny used to make. judgesbakery.com

Manda Bay, Kenya

Situated opposite Lamu, this resort is the perfect place to let go and chill. Delicious food, great hosts and lovely little houses. mandabay.com

Wayward, St Leonards

A gem of a shop. With vintage fabrics, beautiful prints, trimmings and buttons, it will transport you back to a different time. I just love it. wayward.co.uk

Geminola, New York

This fab little shop is owned by my best friend, Lorraine Kirke. Using vintage fabrics, she has made dresses for Sex and the City, Girls (which features her daughter Jemima) and my daughter's bridesmaids. geminola.com

Summerill & Bishop, London W1

A great kitchen shop run by the wonderful Bernadette and June. It's packed with beautiful things. summerillandbishop.com
