Weekend Plans: A bike trip through London

Inspired by our last style feature, in which we feared that Luke would jump on the bike to escape our paparazzi-esque attack, we want to suggest a bike tour for this weekend.

When we saw this poster in Melt Chocolates (dangerously located diagonal opposite of our boutique), we decided that you should start your day at Borough market. Aside from enjoying its regular culinary delights, you will have the chance to visit the Chocolate Unwrapped Show in Vinopolis from 11am to 7pm. My highlight would undoubtfully be the chocolate tasting and sampling, but have a look at the full schedule here!


As far as we are concerned, all our good intentions to taste just one or two pieces would be forgotten after the tenth piece, hence we would suggest trying to soothe the bad conscience by taking a long cycle ride westwards to Notting Hill to check out
Zanacco's trunk show at our boutique between 12 an 5.30pm and to enjoy a well-deserved glass of champagne.



Afterwards, carefully take a cycle up to Regents Park and spend the afternoon checking out
Frieze Art Fair – definitely not to be missed.



Once you warmed up again and provided that you are still perceptive enough, head down to the Barbican to while away what's left of the day at the
Bicycle Film Festival (yes, we take our bike theme very serious!).





After such an active Saturday, you certainly deserve a relaxed Sunday!

We will certainly have a slow Sunday and visit the exhibition of new installations, light works, sculptures and prints by
James Turrell at the Gagosian Gallery and maintain the high level of blood sugar of the previous day with the best cheesecake in London!



Have a great weekend and be safe on the road!

Paparazzi - Badgers can be surprisingly fast

We had to be fast, but we caught him...

Our first male model for the style feature on our blog.

As you have certainly noticed, the pictures and models of our style feature are rather amateur than professional and we struggled to convince Wolf or Badger to lend their beauty to our blog.

Luckily Becc, our lovely assistant store manager, introduced us to Luke and we could win him over to play model for us.

I ususally feel quite uncomfortable myself in front of cameras, so I absolutely understand that he tried to escape by bike at first.


Luckily for us, Luke isn't used to Leather Jeans like the "5 Pocket Leather Jeans" from Jay Kos. Otherwise I would have had to tie the shoe strings from the Zanacco's "Castello Dimgrey" together to keep him from climbing on that bike!

The spotlight on the Zanacco shoes serves them right, as we would like to draw your attention to Zanacco's Trunk Show in our boutique on Saturday, 16th October, from 12 - 5.30pm. Come down to have a drink and talk to Jasmine, the designer.

Before I drift off and Luke uses my attention gap to escape, let's take a closer look at Melanie James' "Cashmere Jumper" and Hentsch Man's "Sunday Shirt".


Judging by the detail in the neck it's a match made in heaven!



The following image might suggest that we actually had to force him to stay in front of the camera, but I can assure you that we had a lot of fun and this is not the last time you will see Luke in our style feature.


It was just the pose the capture a good close up of Tomasz' "Chesterfield Hunter Bangle".



Once again, a big Thank You! to Luke, we are looking forward to the next time!
