Bankside Daze

Man of the Moment.

It seems like my life has taken a 360 degree turn this month. I started working at Takumi, joined several social influencer groups and launched partnerships with some of the biggest fashion brands in the world. Can I get a round of applause… *clap clap* No? Okay! *rolls eyes*

With London Fashion Week coming to a close, I decided to stock up my wardrobe with some serious (really serious) fashion. My brain was flashing images of casual suit trousers, viscose floral shirts and black leather shoes with creeper sole – all of which are currently trending in the menswear department. *gotta get ’em while they’re hot* So, I got my credit card out and went on a massive online shopping spree! *avoids answering calls from his credit card issuer*

September is the perfect time to make slight changes to your personal style. Therefore, look at ways to bring something new to your existing wardrobe. This year, I chose to experiment with sport-influenced suiting styles. I started pairing suit trousers with casual t-shirts and bomber jackets. As someone who dressed for the weekend everyday, this is a great opportunity to really play to my strengths because this doesn’t compromise my overall aesthetic. Also, I can’t say no to bomber jackets, especially the ones with artsy embroidered appliqués. Yasss!

Bankside Adventures.

Every time I go the south of the river, I get this nostalgic tingly feeling. It’s the people, the streets, the atmosphere. I always feel at home because my life in London started nowhere else but in SE1! *sarf eest, I’m coming for you*

Recently, I was bopping  around Bankside with my blogging bae Neil Thornton from What Neil Did. We were checking out the latest art at Tate Modern and chasing happy hours in many bars.

Speaking of drinks, I’d strongly recommend stopping by the Skylon Bar, which serves mouth-watering earth-inspired cocktails.  This airy Modern European bar with 1950s design touches is located in the Royal Festival Hall with floor-to-ceiling river views. This place is perfect for catching up with friends or getting a little bit more intimate with your new flame.
