One of my favourite things about London is the chameleon ways of the city: it changes from one street to another and takes you through narrow little roads with rows of colourful houses, to streets with quirky boutiques and fantastic pubs…
New Kings Road on a rainy yet fabulous day!
New Kings Road by Parsons Green is one of the places that keep surprising me over and over again. Here you get everything from amazing little pop up second hand shops, to the glorious Deuxieme and Deuxieme Too that I wrote about the other week – not to mention the allure of a handful of amazingly cozy pubs, where you end up spending a lazy afternoon in the company of some good friends.
So Miss S and I found ourselves at a lovely café by Parsons Green the other day, and given the beautiful palette of colours that she was wearing, obviously our favourite 1920s cocktail ring had to make an appearance. I just love how you can bring something almost a hundred years old to the table, and match it up so well with what we wear today. Oh the joys of vintage!
A close-up of these glittering beauties
I have said it before, and trust me – I will say it again – do put on that beautiful piece of jewellery tomorrow, which you have safely tucked away at home! Match it up, dress it down – it is completely up to you how want to show it to the world, but I can promise you that we can’t wait to see it!
I am having major hair-envy!!
Now go out and explore your London – or Stockholm, Cape Town, New York, Helsinki, Berlin, Melbourne or Oslo – and enjoy the gorgeous shops, bars, parks and restaurants that we so take for granted. And don’t forget to put on that special piece of jewellery – or maybe you will find a new treasure here…
