London Happenings

Every time I go back to London, my experience of the city seems to get better and better, probably because now having lived away for two years, I enjoy the city with fresh eyes and can appreciate, as well as take full advantage of the city. Here are a few of the things I got up to during my week: 

+ I purchased a few spring wardrobe updates from

COS

, including these tees. It's by far my favourite brand for well-designed basics and wardrobe essentials. 

+ I breakfasted at new Spitalfields restaurant

Blixen

 which is guaranteed to become a summer hotspot, with its outside terrace. Try the smoked trout, pouched eggs and avocado and I went with

Clerkenwell Boy

- following him on Instagram for London culinary goings on is a must. 

+ I went to Hackney based shoe brand

Miista's

pop-up

shop

launch in Shoreditch with the talented designer

Brooke Roberts

and walked away with these beautiful powder blue sandals, which I'm sure will be making many an appearance over the summer. 

+ I enjoyed breakfast at the delicious

Honey and Co

with my friend

Ruth

from

Vintage Books

- go for the fig toast! 

+ Tried and tested tasty cocktails at new Shoreditch bar

Joyeux Bordel

, which opened just last week on Curtain Road - part of the Experimental Cocktail Group crew.

+ Ate pizzas from my favourite London pizza restaurant
