Weekend Plans: take your mind off things

I am sure that all of us are looking forward to the weekend. No matter how much we like our jobs, everyone needs a break. As you might all know, we work closely together with the designers at Wolf & Badger and of course it's not all straight business.

One recurrent theme of the little chats inbetween is how hard it is for creatives to take their mind of work.

This week's suggestions for the weekends hopefully help to change that at least for a while.

To my mind great food is always a good start to unwind, because concentrating on different flavours helps to shift the focus. Most people I know eat way to quickly during the week, treating food rather as fuel that keeps the engine running.

I can't imagine that anyone would do that in Aqua. Aqua is right on Regent Street on top of one of Londons most iconic buildings, the former Dickins & Jones department store. The interior looks as exquisite as the menu sounds.

Only reading "Aubergine mille-feuille with crispy manchego cheese" on their spanish menue (they offer contemporary Japanese and Spanish cuisine), takes my mind off work.

If indulgence isn't yet enough to keep work out of your thoughts, I am sure this amazing view will do the trick:

After being invigorated by delicacies, it's time to get active.

The launch of Futureshorts ONE, a pioneering live event connecting audiences in 12 countries and 50 cities on Saturday night sounds like a perfect option.

For one night the Village Underground will host an action packed night full of the best film, interactive installations and live music.

The live line-up includes Leon Lace DJ, Anna Calvi Live, Future Shorts November Selection, Paul White, Jozif Live and Hannah Holland.

Find more information and tickets here.



Take it easy on Sunday after a night out! Sleep in, have a long breakfast and a walk in the park and spend hours getting lost in a museum. One of my favourites for the latter is the Museum of Everything.

Don't worry if you missed it last time, the Museum of Everything has returned to Primrose Hill and will run until Christmas, so you have enough time to get lost.



Have a great weekend!
I am keen to hear your best ways of taking your mind off things...

PS: For all of you who can't get enough of Wolf & Badger and whose preferred way of unwinding is shopping, I can highly recommend droping by the boutique on Saturday between 12 and 6 pm, when you will have the opportunity to meet the designer behind Natalie C.

Hunting in the City

With the start of London Fashion Week you will find them out there... the Fashionistas. Running from show to show on the hunt for the newest trends and hottest designers, but equally for the game of see and to be seen. Considering the busy schedule of cat walk shows and demonstrations, trainers would be more appropriate, but we know our priorities... We have put together our "hunting outfit" to leave Notting Hill and join the hustle and bustle of London Fashion Week.





We settled for the "Black Pagastick Skirt" from Ricardo Dourado in combination with one of the must-have items of the season, a Cape. Under this stunning "Cotton Cape with Pleated Details" by Natalie C is the "Magdalena Bodysuit" by Obey My Demand. We love how the leather sleeves give the whole outfit the certain extra. The suit without the cape will be perfect for the fashion parties at night, as the bodysuit has some more features than just the leather sleeves in stock.
If you want to have a closer look at the collection from Obey My Demand you should visit us at Saturday 25th September, when Obey My Demand will be holding a Trunk Show in our boutique!



We prefer Gil Carvalho's incredible high heels "Buzz" to trainers and can't think of any better name for those shoes. As soon as we stepped out of the boutique, we had women commenting on them!



In accordance with the our "Hunting" theme we chose the subtle "Rockwell Stud Earrings" by Macha as they reminded us of little rocks.


As soon as we had picked the outfit we knew that we have to use Tomasz's "Gun Pendant" necklace.


The finishing touch is the “Bear in Circus” ring by Eleftheria Lamprou-Karela, which adds some playfulness. It is always good to stop for a second and smile during this hectic week.


Happy London Fashion Week -we are looking forward to seeing you out there!

Anticipation is half of the fun!

Let's admit it, one of the best parts of parties is certainly the question "Who is wearing what?".

However this means that for days our lunch-break conversations have been centred on the question "What should I wear?" at our Summer Party tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a great night, so we want to enjoy it to the fullest including the fun of anticipation!

How often did we all find ourselves on the night of the party standing despairingly in front of a wardrobe full of nothing?! Not this time.... We are prepared!

We got together with Zoe in the boutique and looked for some inspiration for the perfect party outfit.

Zoe's odds-on favourite is the must-have item of the summer, a jumpsuit.

It's effortlessly chic and comfortable at the same time - perfect for Summer Parties that tend to take place outside.



The stunning printed jumpsuit from Natalie C is made from pure silk and makes you feel nothing but glamourous. To enhance this feeling, Zoe paired it with those amazing high heels from Rei Ixbalambke:


As the asymmetrical neckline of the jumpsuit makes necklaces surplus, Zoe chose statement pieces to accessorize.

Michal Lerman's "Pavoreal" cuff is most certainly an eyecatcher and we just love to combine it with her "Afrodita II" earrings.




The most dazzling piece is without doubt Gisele Ganne's "Divorce" ring. No wonder that the collection was one of the Stylelist's favourite suggestions for Sandra Bullock's 46th birthday.




We can't wait for tomorrow and are looking forward to you all arriving in numbers.

Do you already know what your are going to wear?




Natalie C - Printed silk jumpsuit £310
Michal Lerman - Afrodita II earrings £110 and Pavoreal cuff £310
