EAT:

BERNER’S TAVERN – The London Edition Hotel. The hit fashion week hang out spot is still top of my list of places to eat right now. Get the crispy rock shrimp roll.

DRINK:

The Worship Street Whistling Shop. Full of dark nooks and candle lit corners, this gin emporium is east end decadence in all it’s hip glory. Try the delicious Rose Sangree- with lavender and cinnamon it’s like a wonderful Summer Christmas.

SHOP:

Village Bicycle ( now down on Brick Lane) is one of my fave London stores! A neon, mexican rave of a fashion shop- Willa Keswick’s concept store is the millenial’s mecca. Modern art hangs with Japanese candy and rails of cool street wear and indie brands. Pick up some Kat Maconie Shoes, We Are Handsome swimwear and of course brand new FLASH TRASH GIRL jewelery, cool chokers and unique rings!

my flash trash pop up store

To Ireland this weekend where FLASH TRASH officially popped up at Dublin’s super trendy BT2 store. Nestled beside House of Holland and Ted Baker, You’ll find our neon, urban, candy shop of delights! Jewellery we curate from our coolest up and coming Flash Trash designers such as Alona, Mona Mara and of course Estella Bartlett, alongside our popular own brand 90’s label, Flash Trash Girl. With prices starting from 12 Euros there’s the perfect selection of fashion accessories to update your winter look and cute gifts for friends. My own Irish mega babe mate, Laura Whitmore (below) popped by to see us for some rings before her Late Late Show appearance last night.

2 years after our first pop up shop back in October 2011, at Shoreditch House, BT2 becomes our third treasure box concession in a store. Flash Trash was the first online retailer to launch an instore concession in the UK at Oxygen Boutique where we used I-Touch’s locked on instagram to generate instore discounts for people who grammed and shared. Our popular presence in The W Hotel in London, earmarked the launch of Flash Trash in Shoreditch over at go-to boutique, 11 Boundary. We’ve got many more Treasure Boxes planned for the next 6 months, fancy one in a town near you ? Drop Jenni an email and tell us why and your city might be next! jennifer@myflashtrash.com xoxo

Martini Celebrates 150 years!

20.09.13

To Lake Como this week for the 150th Anniversary Party of iconic drinks brand MARTINI. Hopping on the plane with RedCarpetFashionAward’s Catherine and Nik Thaker, we got talking about the art of packing- now I’d like to say I neatly packed a small LV holdall the night before, but in reality it was an early morning dash to City Airport as I threw in some Terry De Havilands, Florence Bridge Dresses, Olivia Von Halle PJs, a stack of new Flash Trash Girl rings and grabbed Thinking Fast & Slow on the way out the door.

Arriving into Milan in the madness of Fashion Week, we collided with Mark Ronson and co in the airport before we all set off to the hotel. A quick check in to The Boscolo and we were out to Trussardi Cafe for Lunch which turned into wine and deep discussions on social media traffic, engagement and brand awareness which promptly left 30 minutes to get ready. A few work emails and a skype call was balanced with some speedy application of NARS tinted moisturiser and this amazing new Lancome Eye Palette before we drove off to Villa D’Este, where the international party Martini had prepared was like the most glam thing EVER. A huge red carpet led us to the illuminated villa, with Martini racing cars lined up outside and waiters with huge goblets of Martini Royale waiting for us. Inside and the global mesh of the drinking world elite were in full partying swing, delicious canapés floated around , and as we dived into the decadence , Fitzgerald was on my mind…

“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”- The Great Gatsby

Rosie arrived looking killer in a red dress with uber publicist Liz Matthews by her side mega babing in a Stella skirt. As we chatted dachsunds and jewellery in the corner, Lily Allen took to the stage performing 3 pitch perfect songs in her signature London style and just being her incredibly charming, funny self. Mark Ronson then took to the decks, and our little Brit enclave went wild, dancing all night to a perfect mash up of hip-hop & electro pop. It was literally The Business International as representatives from almost every country in the world came down to get their chic on.

Only the most glamorous Italian drink, could have thrown such a blow out party. Thank you Martini for a hedonistic night of adventure. Now it’s back to all things Mashable & @MYFLASHTRASH as we hit #LONDONFASHIONWEEKEND got your tickets?
