Aida Shoreditch: Lifestyle launch

You all know how much I love Aida Shoreditch. It's one of the most wonderful, collaborative places in London. Not only do they carry incredible brands, they've created a hive of expression and creativity. To add to their blossoming business, they've now developed Aida Homeware. It is absolutely beautiful! There's such a cool, earthy vibe to the collection, and basically, I need it all in my flat.

From candles to Hammam throws, they've got you covered. They also have a new beautiful luxury sleepwear brand, Eight Hour Studio- but more about this wonderful brand later, I'm up to something exciting with those guys and I can't wait to share it with you!

I really hope you get to pop in store because it's honestly just amazing. Take your laptop, have a coffee and a sandwich and just take it all in! If you're not local....there's always online and the team are very happy to help with any style questions you might have. 


Have a wonderful week and thank you so much for reading.

Ace Hotel, Shoreditch



Earlier this year I was very fortunate to stay at the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch. Design classic springs to mind as soon as you set foot into this wondrous place. 

What is it like?
Cool, laid back, indie and 'vibey' are the words I'd use to describe the Ace. I felt relaxed the minute I dragged my suitcase over the threshold. There's the coolest area for Macbook users to sit and connect/write/be generally creative in the reception area (although I'm quite sure 'reception area' isn't the coolest way to describe it). They even have a restaurant attached called 'Hoi Polloi' and my goodness, I had the breakfasts of all breakfasts there the next morning! Full on pancake mayhem! Oh, and a perfect coffee.

The Bedroom:
The bedroom was bursting with inspiring design hacks and the best of it was that you could purchase everything in the room if you so wished! Half of my room was dedicated to a sit and chill area compete with some coffee table books. So naturally, I sat with a brew and had a flick through the books. I slept under some incredible selvedge denim bedding (more comfortable than it sounds!) and sunk into a heavenly mattress. Obviously, the bedroom was en suite and the bathroom was super industrialised with heavy metal notes and off white tiles. 

Let's put it this way, If I could redesign my home, it would be based on the incredible interiors of the Ace Hotel.

I hope you enjoyed the review and make sure you check them out!

Inside Another 8 London

Over the past 6 months I have developed such a lovely relationship with super brand Another 8 London. I have watched them blossom incredibly and as I type their beautiful collections are hanging in Topshop Oxford Circus and ASOS. On my trip to London a couple of weeks ago I popped into their pop-up store at Box Park in Shoreditch only to fall in love with them a little more and finally get to meet the beautiful Georgina who owns and designs Another 8. To say she's talented is an understatement! My fave item was the lilac leather jacket which is reversible!! and black on the other side. The most incredible jacket EVER come Summer or Winter. So if you haven't checked them out yet, you need to! Plus they are in Summer sale at the moment too.

Have a lovely rest of the week and thank you so much for reading.
Don't forget to enter my giveaway with Red Hot Sunglasses!

Outfit post: London boyfriend denim

As you will know, I have been in London all weekend for the long anticipated Vogue Festival. On Sunday I headed to Shoreditch, East London, one of the most exciting places to be in London, for some good food and my daily dose of people watching.

I wanted to be comfortable after my 13 hour stint in heels at the Vogue Festival a day earlier, cue ripped boyfriend jeans and Converse.






What I'm wearing: 
Sunglasses- Cheap Monday at ASOS
Necklace- Limited Collection at Marks & Spencer
Celine tee- Ebay
Jacket- ZARA
Jeans- *c/o Fashion Union
Trainers- Converse

I have been wanting some ripped boyfriend jeans since, well, forever but I have struggled to find some that fit well because I'm pretty shapeless so they tend to just hang off me. The pictured jeans are from Fashion Union by Glamorous and I have lived in them ever since they arrived!

You can order yourself some here

Are you wearing ripped jeans to death yet?
