london weekend

Stayed at The Arch London which was my first time at this boutique hotel near Marylebone central London – quite a small, intimate hotel with gorgeous rooms, had lunch on arrival + drinks at the bar in the evening. Needless to say, I will definitely go back. The library with all the arty books and magazines was an added bonus with a warming fireplace. A calm oasis in the middle of a busy city.

My favourite store in Marylebone is Theory where I had a browse; monochrome all over, few touches of print in soft blue hues.
I also visited By Malene Birger – for a splash of Danish designs.
Selfridges is a must when in London – I usually move into the Contemporary floor with labels like Helmut Lang, Acne, J Brand, Claudie Pierlot, Maje, Sandro and The Kooples.

Needless to say, 48 hrs in London when you live in the country is bliss. Love the feeling of walking on concrete ground rather than mud – adore the architecture around and the variety of cafees, restaurants and bars. Saturday night we had “unlimited Cava & tapas” at Pix in Portobello Rd. Recommend! Awesoma food, buffet style and x amount of Cava – a good night, indeed!
Sunday I had a lovely veggie burger at Carnaby Burger Co – and a browse at ElevenParis.

London – I will be back soon!
