Scandi London / Aquavit Dinner

Recently, I celebrated a birthday dinner at Aquavit London. It was my second time eating there, and I was even more impressed than the first time! The traditional Swedish cuisine is prepared with the highest quality ingredients, amping it up to another level. I particularly enjoyed the sweet rye bread, meatballs, charlotte potatoes, and stunning classic Swedish interior design.

We also sat outside and enjoyed a drink on Aquavit's terrace. A good outdoor space is always, always appreciated - especially in London, where there aren't so many such options.

Absolutely recommend it.

London / Haute Couture at The Fashion Textile Museum

Years ago, when I trained to be a fashion stylist, I studied the History of Fashion. Thanks to my experience in fashion, I've already worked with gorgeous contemporary gowns, and last week, I attended the Fashion Textile Museum's showing of their Haute Couture archives. I had the privilege of getting up close to original couture gowns (wearing white gloves, of course!), including 1950's Dior and Chanel, 1960's Dior (by Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent), and more recent acquisitions such as Christian Lacroix, and that mesh Oscar gown by Elie Saab for Halle Berry!

London / The WW Club Work Party

Last week, I had the privilege to attend The WW Club Work(party) London. At Balance workspace in Clerkenwell, club founder Phoebe Lovatt gathered a group of members to work together, develop community, and help each other with any work challenges, over muesli bowls and green juice. Sharmadean Reid, the founder of WAH Nails, was also present, sharing her work experiences and struggles with the rest of us. Looking forward to what's next! ✨

London / Tate Modern Giacometti

Living through the 1920's, Alberto Giacometti was an Swiss sculptor who mixed and mingled with the famous clan of Paris-based artists and thinkers of the time, which also included Picasso and Simone de Beauvoir. The Tate Modern museum in London is hosting the largest UK-based retrospective of Giacometti's work in 20 years.

Celebrating movement through stillness, Giacometti's distinctive sculptures are both minimalist and impactful. My favourite room of the exhibit highlighted a few female studies, such as 'Walking Woman 1' (below, centre).
