This & That...
Sharing a bit of everything (fashion, home, beauty, food, podcasts, film, tv) I've liked this week.
Perfect pink stripes…
We have two of these (much-loved) pink sofas in our sitting room (yes, I do love pink), and they’re both covered in Cabbages & Roses white and pink thick striped cushions (six on each). I get asked about them a lot over on Insta, but sadly they no longer make them. These are really similar (mine have white instead of ‘natural’) if you’re in the market. I might need to top up actually…
Low-key lunch spot I’m loving…
I’m not veggie, but I love vegetarian food. But only really good vegetarian food.
Mildred’s in Soho is a bit of an institution - I remember it being there for as long as I’ve lived in London (since 1992), but it’s only relatively recently that I’ve rediscovered it. I remember is being more of a place I’d go with a vegan friend (she was way ahead of the curve on that one) - it was ok, but it wouldn’t have been my first choice of restaurant. Fast-forward a few decades and it’s my current favourite, inexpensive lunch spot to meet a girlfriend. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the staff are (without exception) lovely. A word of warning though (actually two) - firstly, the portions are big, so if you end up ordering a couple of starters/sides instead of a main, two will probably suffice. Secondly, save some room for desert. I never do, but when I leave I always spot them on other tables and they look insanely good.
Sharing a few of my favourites on the menu…
