Summer's glow is beginning to warm the city, filling shadowy corners with light and lifting the spirits of its dwellers. From a hot new restaurant opening and the exhibition to see to the fashion pop-up we're making a beeline for, here's how to enjoy June in London.
... at De La Vali's pop-up
Born amongst the boho-glamour of the Ibiza, fashion brand De La Vali takes vintage shapes and prints and inserts a whole lot of sex appeal, catering to all ages and attitudes with a variety of styles. From mandarin-collared animal print favoured by Camille Charrière and Kendall Jenner to tangerine dream tops, the brand's Instagram is a star-speckled mood board of how to party dress now.
The brand will host its first London pop-up in Notting Hill this month, where we can expect rails of jazzy pieces, London's fashion heavyweights and a famous face or two.
