5 Restaurants, 5 Looks With This Girl About Town
Bluebelles, 320 Portobello Road
Breakfast at Bluebelles always hits just right. Its breakfast stack is my favourite thing to have on a Sunday morning before a walk around Portobello. Sundays call for off-duty vibes – which usually means a pair of loose trousers, a t-shirt and an oversized blazer. I never leave the house without throwing on some vintage earrings, too.
Mortimer House, 37-41 Mortimer Street
On days full of meetings, Mortimer House is one of my favourite spots in London to enjoy some down time. On a weekday, I’d normally wear something chic but cool, like this knitted dress, vintage Ralph Lauren shirt and vintage Karen Millen boots. You’ll never catch me in flats during the week – my workout is running around in heels! These By Alona earrings are the newest addition to my jewellery collection.

Golborne Wines, 100-102 Golborne Road
I’m Italian and can’t resist a good aperitivo. My weekly treat is the Golborne Deli’s cheese and charcuterie board with my favourite Primitivo and a friend. For this type of evening, it’s all about elevated casual dressing. These Cultnaked low-waisted jeans, this chic top and my signature oversized blazer with my Dior Lady Art bag are the perfect combination.

Cépage, 69 Westbourne Park Road
When I’m craving something a little fancier, I’ll go to Cépage – a French restaurant with the best cheese in London. Aperitivo is something that happens straight after work, so I would wear what I’m wearing for my meetings, like this Gucci silk shirt, yellow Chanel and my go-to Manolos – all of which came from Sign Of The Times, my favourite second-hand spot.

Dorian, 105-107 Talbot Road
I love trying new local restaurants and I recently discovered Dorian – no name on the front door, big windows, incredible food with a New York atmosphere and an amazing wine selection. Dinner out is always a chance to dress up – I would normally go for something like this beautiful Danamé black dress with big gold earrings and some killer boots.
