8 Things Im Going To Do This Bank Holiday Weekend

23.05.15

[Amber Atherton & Pixie Geldof]

1. Buy Stuff

Namely a Supreme bath robe, Molecule perfume, Martin Amis’s book Money and more red stuff. I recently bought this amazing red Rachel Comey crop top from Celestine Eleven in Shoreditch and now I’ve decided there is a severe lack of red in my wardrobe so I’m using the Snap Fashion app to find it all. You can search for all clothes from a photo. Q cool.

2. Drinkkkkkkks

London Cocktail Club just opened round the corner from me which is a blessing and a hungover curse at the same time. The Breaking Bad Tequila Cocktail and the one with a Bourbon Biscuit is hard to say no to.

3. Book a holiday

Airbnb hosted a party the other night to celebrate their amazing floating house, which has resulted in me doing some serious air bnb stalking. Kind of feel like it’s the new looking in estate agents windows which is a favourite past time. I’ve got to go to Seoul to visit the my flash trash factory but am also thinking Positano.

4. Read Aliza’s new book

DKNY PR GIRL Aliza Licht is a social media brand trailblazer so her new book is a must read.

5. Get a massage

Becoming worryingly addicted to this uber for massage app, Urban Massage. Amazing therapists come straight to your house and you can light your new candles.

6. Sunday Routine

Sunday’s are for The FT Weekend, making egg white pancakes for breakfast then taking #misssuziewong for a long walk.

7. Pilates

Thinking about that summer body but also about dem’ tacos? I try to hit up tempo pilates 3 times a week for their on point reformer classes. Also an excuse to buy more workout gear, because do you ever have enough leggings?

8. Stop listening to A$AP’s new song

Possibly one of the best music videos ever made, i’ve had this on repeat for 3 days now.

Welcome to my favourite hotel in the world

08.07.14

Peeking out of the Hong Kong shore line, The Mandarin Oriental sits quietly in between the jungle of skyscrapers overlooking the harbour. Humble and elegant this much loved hotel has stood for 50 years in the centre of the metropolis, transporting guests into a sanctuary of both decadence and serenity. (Seriously the feng shui in this building has to been the best in Hong Kong.) Having spent many wonderful moments throughout my child hood in this hotel from birthday afternoon teas to New Year’s Eves, whilst on a trip to Asia I decided I had to stay. It’s simply my favourite hotel in the world- here’s 5 reasons why.

1) Interior Design/ View Game is STRONG- It’s about lounging from the bed to the sofa to the chair. Seriously considering becoming a recluse if it involves staying only in this room forever I’m fine with it. There are also binoculars for when Facebook stalking is boring you.

2)The bathrooms though- We’re talking Hermes amenities and water pressure from heaven.

3) Without a doubt the best kept secret swimming pool in Hong Kong

4) You can be up in the gym just working on your fitness

5) Little touches- obviously the service is out of this world amazing, and the whole team go to great lengths to continuously surprise you. I loved the welcoming jasmine tea and some champagne didn’t hurt either. Hi bubbles.

Other things that need to be mentioned. The rose petal jam, the florist, the much love cake shop with out of this world custom cakes and of course Pierre- one of the best restaurants in the world, sits on the top floor. Humble like everything else.

About Last Night: A Russian Romance @CafeRoyalHotel #VILSHENKO

21.06.14

To Cafe Royal last night where Russian designer Olga Vilshenko hosted a summer soiree for her resort collection. Splitting her time between studios in Moscow and London, Olga’s beautiful designs combine the folklore and heritage of Russia with western couture practices. I fell in love with the opulently embroidered dress I wore for the evening, ankle length and nipped in at the waist, Im currently embracing dressing like a lady. Piling into a car with Bertie Brandes and too many bags, we layered on the flash trash girl jewellery, quickly discarding our backpacks at reception as we arrived at the decadent Regent street based hotel.

VILSHENKORESORT

A fashion party on a Friday night is a rare thing, but TBH like we were doing anything else anyway, so in we drifted to the ball room, where champagne was flowing and Paula Goldstein was behind the decks blasting out fashion party classics like You’re So Vain and wearing the best sleeves i have ever seen on a dress ( above) Making a bee line for the carpaccio canapes, we hung out briefly at the catering door to nab them in the chicest of fashions. As more immaculately dressed guests floated in, it was hard to believe it was a Friday night in central London in 2014. I mean it was just too romantic and chic.

Catching up with artist Christabel Mac Greevy and director of the new STORE at Soho House Berlin, Alex Eagle, we chatted summer plans before a sultry Marissa Montgomery arrived in a cut out, sheer black number ‘Are you wearing Vilshenko too?!’ was the most overheard phrase as we all embraced our temporary status as Russian Princesses in a Romanov Romance that was far too brief. As the brilliant Fernando Jorge elegantly held up the male ratio and the sun began to set, we downed the last of our vodka and drifted into the night.

18.06.14

So excited that my FLASH TRASH GIRL range has landed in Topshop Oxford Circus!! For 1 month only this exclusive range of chains, midi rings and hoop earrings is available in store and online at myflashtrash.com my interview with Topshop below!

Can you sum up Topshop x My Flash Trash Girl in three words?

What was the inspiration behind the line?

Definitely Spring Breakers and The O.C. Season 1. It’s like sweet Cali high school girl meets Miami chick adventure. That kind of fun summer road trip vibe with some secret diary drama.

Any favourite pieces?

I love all the black matte pieces. My best friend Piers has a cool finger tattoo and it inspired me to update the midi ring with a ’90s grunge vibe.

What will you be wearing the collection with?

Im really into crop tops and midi skirts, so I’ll layer on all the fun rings with that!

What can we expect from the pop-up at Oxford Circus?

It’s like an internet meme playground set in California. Gold, black matte, dainty little playful things like mini skate boards, flamingos and whole lot of blah blah blah.

What advice would you give for setting up your own business?

Know your plan will change, be able to adapt to change, be prepared to get up no matter how many times you get knocked down. Persevere and know when to pivot. And finally enjoy it!!

What’s Topshop all about for you?

Topshop is the ultimate fashion fix, every trend under the sun. You know you can walk in and get something that’s going to stand out and look amazing. So Im really excited that our jewellery we be a part of that finishing touch, it definitely will start a conversation.
