Brunching at… One Hundred Shoreditch’s The Rooftop!
The one thing I’m always in search of is a lowkey rooftop spot, nestled away from the buzz of the city. One thing that makes this quest sometimes unachievable is having to be a member to access certain ones – well not with One Hundred Shoreditch! Situated on Shoreditch High Street, this hotel sits proudly at the heart of one of London’s busiest spots.
Simply wander through the lobby which is decorated with decadent mid-century furnishing, and call the lift to The Rooftop. On arrival you will be greeted by panoramic views of London’s iconic skyline. From the Barbican to St. Pauls, you can truly witness a unique, never seen before, angle of the best city in the world.
Luckily for us, One Hundred Shoreditch has just launched their delicious retro Californian-inspired menu for those looking to kickstart their weekend in style. Taking inspiration from Palm Springs with terracotta decor, lush succulents and cacti create an unmissable Californian aesthetic and feel – sit back and indulge in this brand spanking new menu. I was fortunate enough to experience The Rooftop in all its glory. I opted for the shrimp burger and Nutella Sando, a combination that could frankly solve all my problems in one bite. To accompany these mouth-watering plates, an array of cocktails were at my fingertips. Pineapple & Coconut Spritz? Spicy Margarita? A mere upgrade to bottomless with Prosecco and Bloody Marys? Yes please!
If you’re looking for an intimate, low-key, vibrant and delectable escape from the city, choose One Hundred Shoreditch’s Rooftop as your next pay day treat. You will be welcomed with open arms, member or not, and transported into a Californian haven.

Just finished… Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid
Mrs. Hailey Bieber, you have truly created something magical with the Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid. I have well and truly bought into the Krispy Kreme skin finish and this product helped me achieve all my glossy, glazed skin dreams. This signature product is the ultimate step to dewy skin. A lightweight, quick-absorbing, gel serum that visibly plumps and hydrates to support a healthy-looking skin barrier. A top tip: Mix it with your foundation or CC cream for a dewy, skin-first makeup look. I have used this product every day for a month and don’t remember life without it. After hitting the bottom of the bottle, I will definitely repurchasing indefinitely!

Getting inked at… Ottilie Studio.
Walking into the sun-drenched space of Ottilie, I immediately knew it was unlike any other tattoo space I had seen. Welcoming and cosy, it engulfs you in the sweet comfort of mismatched pottery, plants and dried flowers galore, vintage screens, and a warm playlist that gets rid of any last minute jitters. Between the wood floors and high ceilings, there is a clear sense of community. And, with her delicately intricate designs and picture-perfect hand-poked techniques, it makes sense that this is where I’d meet Izzy for a tiny flash tattoo I’ve been obsessed with for ages. Collaborative, supportive, and patient, she is both an incredible artist and the kindest soul — and I left with the mini framed flower of my dreams.
Obsessed with… Marni’s BIG FOOT 2.0
If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel (and look) like to walk on a cloud, this shoe’s for you. Chunky and playful, Marni’s BIG FOOT 2.0 is the ultimate maximalist trainer. Almost cartoon-like in nature, its voluminous silhouette contrasts a lightweight feel for a simple statement piece that’s perfect for any look or situation. It’s genderless and comes in a range of black, white, and yellow. And it’s just bound to put a smile on your face.
Getting active with… StrongHer, Bethnal Green
Throughout my life, I’ve always been enthusiastic about sports and made it a priority of mine to stay active. But, for some unknown reason (until now, at least) the gym has always seemed like a daunting and intimidating place to me. That’s until I decided to try StrongHer a year and a half ago when I first moved to London. Located just under the overground arches in Bethnal Green, StrongHer is London’s first female-only fitness space — and also the most supportive, empowering, and diverse community of like-minded people I’ve ever encountered. I recommend it for all fitness levels and backgrounds, but especially for those who struggle with gym anxiety and don’t know where to start. Nothing against the gym bros, but I couldn’t be more of a girls’ girl.
Nourishing with… Copa Dew Oil, Herlum
Fellow Brazilian Isadora Belfort, the force behind the London-based cult-favorite beauty brand Herlum, knew exactly what she was up to when developing their latest release, the all-over nourishing oil Copa Dew. Inspired by Brazilian nature and using the finest sustainably sourced materials, such as Copaíba oil, an Amazon-native ingredient extremely rich in antioxidants, this product is a versatile multitasker that can be applied to your hair, skin, and even nails, and one that I plan to keep in my beauty bag all winter long. The sensorial experience is indulgent, lush, and silky — and the scent immediately transports you to a summer night on Copacabana beach.
Reading…Good Material, Dolly Alderton
There are only a handful of things I love more in life than a good novel. And, let’s be honest, no one does it better than Dolly Alderton. Ever since her memoir, “Everything I Know About Love,” I’ve been completely obsessed with the journalist’s writing and storytelling skills, always capturing the ups and downs of modern love so well. Imagine my excitement, then, when I heard about her new novel, “Good Material,” coming out next week. Penguin Books teases it as “a sharply funny, beautifully observed, and exquisitely relatable story of heartbreak and friendship, and how to survive both” — basically everything I need in a book to accompany me through the cold November days. Can’t wait!

Iconic British fashion brand Ben Sherman have been a mainstay in my wardrobe for years, and when I found out about their newest collaboration, I simply jumped at the chance to grab an item. The brand have patterned with the John Lennon Estate to present a limited-edition collection to celebrate six decades of music, art and fashion, merging the Sherman ethos with original Lennon doodles. I got myself the knitted black jumper with white stripes and a John self-portrait. Browse here.
