Friday Mess

Zara top, Zara fringe boots, Versace leather jacket, Topshop Headband, Accessorize tights.

Our flat has been ridiculously messy for the last month so we booked a cleaner for 4 hours and left her to tackle our seasonal clutter. This gave us time to have a long lesiurely lunch and some random browsing around Portobello Market. One of my favorite things about living in Notting Hill is the market, and aside from the amazing fresh fruit and vegtables, I am obsessed with Friday's vintage market. Perfect eye candy!!

Shopping and Cocktailing

The shops on Oxford Street were far crazier than expected (i thought this was a recession?) but I still managed to browse around the enormous Topshop before joining a friend for dinner. I rarely venture to 'central' London and prefer to circulate my usual haunts in Notting Hill and Chelsea, but it was refreshing to see people en masse once again. I tend to find the city slightly lonely in January. Purchases include: variety of accessories (mostly tribal and studded), grey 'lantern' skirt, and the most perfect caged shoe boots. All items to be on show in near future.
Whilst swerving my way home via bus, I phoned the boy and we decided to meet at our favorite weeknight beverage stop before heading home. The E&O serves taste bud friendly food from the east and shakes my favorite lychee martini. I highly recommend as a venue for people watching. Think everything from wealthy women in full length fur and gaudy jewellery, to boho locals in beaten up combats and headbands, to designer clad fashion editors, and drunken bankers in suits.
