Belinda Wanis, aka Miss B, is a Belle About Town who likes to bring a little bit of style into every aspect of her life.

A globetrotter, who has lived in Australia, the UK and Denmark, she enjoys holidaying in the sun and you can often find her on a beach in Thailand or on shopping breaks in Sydney or New York. But her first love is, of course, London!
