SUSHI DATES IN SOHO

Sitting here editing these photos has made me so hungry! Last week Lexxi introduced me to Ukai Sushi; just down the road from her work, she goes regularly for a bite and was the perfect partner to order all the best dishes on the menu.

It all looked so good and we sat there hungrily eyeing up everyone else’s dishes, until we decided to go for a mix of sushi and hot plates, washed down with some miso soup and a bottle of their sweet homemade Sake! The sushi was out of this world and I’m pretty sure I’m hooked, next time I’m in central I’ll be heading back here to catch Lex on one of her impromptu lunches! 

SHOPPING WITH MR PORTER

There’s a first time for everything and last week it was being invited to a menswear event, not strictly for men of course but never the less it was exciting to see so many dapper looking gentleman in one room. Mr. Porter, (the Net a Porter for men) were showcasing their S/S collections about to go online at the super chic Hix in Soho. The cocktails were strong and the bites were small -which you’d sort of expect for a mens evening, as we browsed the new lines and accessories it was exciting to see the mix of traditional and modern; printed Givenchy tees next to pebbled leather brogues, if I was a man Mr Porter would be my go to for everything! This was confirmed the next day when I found a little voucher in my goody bag, my fantasy male shopping continued.. 

I was super impressed with how easy it was to navigate the site, especially as you upload your gift voucher and it’s on there, whenever you need it to be deducted at the checkout. I settled on some new Converse Jack Purcell’s, I have to say I’ve lived in them since I bought them! A lot of my friends have been doing double takes, as I’m not a trainer girl at all, I just love the minimal monochrome look as well as them being comfy and chic to run around London in. Thank you so much Mr Porter!

MY DAILY PRESENTS: MARY KATRANZOU

A couple of weeks ago I attended the MyDaily presents an evening with Mary Katranzou; a sit down chat between Libby Banks and Mary Katranzou that we could all sit and listen in on. The evening was so fun, we learnt about her origins as a interior designer in New York, that led her to London to study fashion at CSM and that menswear is indeed in the pipeline – but not before she plans on showing pre fall and resort collections starting next year! Mary has a great sense of humour and it was a pleasure sharing the evening with her and Libby!
