My Made in Chelsea

Style Theory: My favourite little area of London, shops, cafés, bars, restaurants galore and never too busy. 
Sloane Square
Years ago I used to work in Chelsea and love popping back for a wander when I have a chance. When my sister came over for the weekend we decided to hit Chelsea rather than tackle Oxford Street as it is a little quieter.

First stop The Botanist for coffee and warm scones...much needed energy for shopping..

Then a stroll up Kings Road



A gorgeous food market in the Duke of York Square, then a meander along to have lunch siting outside  The Builders Arms

Then onto The Phene to meet up with old friends for drinks....heaven
The Phene Garden
My Style:
A last minute change of outfit as the day started off stormy so my dress and heeled sandals were replaced by my trusty breton and jeans..


Jacket: Zara
Jeans: Gap similar here
Trainers: John Lewis Collection similar here
Bag: H&M
I bought: hoping to wear this to watch the tennis at Wimbledon in a couple of weeks (weather permitting) with my heeled tan sandals or Stan Smith trainers:
Cos Melange Jumper - now £29
Cos Skirt with Draped Pockets now £41
I tried on and loved....
Cos Sleeveless Dress £115
but unfortuately am lacking occasions when I can wear this!

It was lovely spending the day with my little sister, Mum and some lovely friends. Thank you Las Calles De Barcelona for all the images..xx

Where is your favourite place in London, do you know any hidden gems, cafes restaurants, bars..I need to be recommended more!

I would love to hear all your comments and ideas, thank you for reading, Frances xxx
