Bonjour!
I’m speaking in French because for the past 2 weeks I’ve been thoroughly engrossed in watching Roland Garros. It’s just too good! And I dream of being there!
As many people are plotting and planning summer holidays, I’m getting a lot of texts for “What’s your (insert European city here) list?” There are a million great lists out there, but I personally like getting just a couple killer spots recommended by someone I trust. Here are a few places I love in some cities you may be passing through this summer like London, Paris, Athens, Rome, Copenhagen, Mexico City. Where I would go if I had “One Night Only”: One fab restaurant for dinner, one more chill restaurant, and a shop or gallery to check out…plus something cute to wear while you’re there.
London
EAT
Fab: You can never go wrong with a meal at the iconic River Cafe. It’s extra charming in the Summer and what they do with fresh produce is *chef’s kiss*.
Chill: Have a fun dinner at a pub with great food like The Pelican or The Tamil Prince for excellent Indian fare. And it ain’t a trip to London without a tomato mozzarella croissant from Pret-a-Manger. IYKYK, this thing saves lives after a night out, especially at Heathrow.
SHOP
All the cool girls love Alex Eagle and I always pop in when I’m in town. Very chic selection, great jewelry, fun hats, the art and design are beautiful. I love her house label and you can also do bespoke suiting there. Fab.
WEAR
I think this pretty suede Perriand Mini bag by London based Metier is perfect. No logos, just chic.
Paris
