Autumn Decorative Fair 2015

This year marks The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair's 30th Birthday, launched by Patricia Harvey, and which has made Battersea Park its home since 1997. We are relatively new converts but it is a fixture in our calendar along with every discerning interior designer and collector around the capital. The thrice-yearly event opened its doors for autumn purchases on Tuesday and runs until the end of the weekend. On our walkabout we noticed delicious pieces of art, an amazing pair of mid-century Czech bookshelves and a ravishingly-red Chinese console table. I wore a favourite vintage velvet jacket, last seen in 'Red on Red', a pair of  Armani navy pinstripes (previous outing: The only real adventure is me...) with a simple white linen shirt, neon-pink Miss Sixty belt, satin wedges by Castañer, and an Italian leather bag from Brixton Village Market.

An Honest burger

An evening out in Brixton Village Market for one of the best burgers in town - an Honest one, of course. Honest Burgers now has three London locations: Brixton, Soho and Camden, where burgers are served up with honestly good British produce. In Brixton at the weekend, my burger in a takeaway box came with rosemary-salted chips and a Shoreditch Blonde (that's the drink), and water in a jam jar with a handle... very alternative, very Brixton! Comfortable wear: a pretty printed-silk top by Danish label, Rützou; Italian khakis from Question Air; suede wedges by Lola Cruz and my trashed-but-trusty bag by Angel Jackson.
