I'm a travel and style writer from London.

I've contributed to, among others: American Express Destination Guides, Budget Travel, Bust Magazine, Fathom (contributing editor),  Gridskipper (weekly column), The Guardian, Harper’s Bazaar (weekly column), HiP Paris (column), Hitotoki, The Tourism Board of Paris (Comité Régional du Tourisme Paris Ile-de-France) and Metro.

I’m also a copywriter for brands that align with my interests. I’ve worked with fashion, perfume and natural wine companies. 

My writing is often accompanied by my own photographs and I have a huge archive, which is always being added to. A selection of images taken around Paris, mostly on film, can be found here.

I founded the blog Lola is Beauty in 2005, to cover my then favourite subjects of clothes and travel.

I can now be found on Instagram: @claireoldman.
