Ps here's a couple of photos of the store's queue today!

Just spotted : Gaucho, Pop-up bar, Canary Wharf, London

What's the curbappeal? 

- blingtastic pop-up bar. With lots of high-end outdoor furniture, in pink and white. Think modernist egg chairs, colourful deck chairs and comfy sofas in VIP cabins

- located above Gaucho's steak restaurant in Canary Wharf. 

- fabulous views of the City skyline and Thames 

- a perfect place to unwind with some fizz. I must try it out, before it pops-off!

With love,

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Amanjena. My reviews of the hotel and its facilities

Inspiration - cafes : Chelsea, London

I need to try out both of these. Two very different places. Certainly heard good things of Blakes.

- Blakes hotel: whimsical and gloriously fabulous boutique hotel. Pop in for coffee in the court yard.

- Chelsea quarter cafe: bright and bushy-tailed contemporary cafe

Inspiration - cafes : Pimlico, London

Two excellent cafes on Elizabeth Street, Pimlico (a good street for foodies fyi):

- TomTom: hipster-vintage cafe. Unusual style for area (posh).

- Peggy Porschen: stunning. V pink. V girly. High-end foodie heaven.

Restaurant review: Cecconi's, Mayfair, London

What's the curbappeal?
- its old school, but glamourous : first established in 1978 by Enzo Cecconi, Manager of the Cipriani hotel in Venice, it's now part of the uber-hip Soho House Group. The interior harks back to a more decadent era: think 1920's style lamps and club chairs and elegantly distressed mirrors.
- permanently buzzy environment : a stalwart for the jet-set
- the food: Northern-Italian. And very good indeed.

Recommended.
