March To Do List

So today is officially the last day of Winter... March means sunnier, longer days and here's what I plan to do with them...

Inside: A French country feel

Eat: Blanchette, D'ablay Street
Opposite one of my favourite Soho Spanish spots, Copita, this new French Bistro opened by three brothers and named after their mother. The menu? More original takes on French food are peppered with staples of charcuterie and terrines on the back drop of bare brick walls and painted tiles.
9 D'Arblay St, London W1F 8DR

Climsons Broadway Market, Picture from Timeout

Coffee: New discovery of Climpson & Sons coffee. The Ossies bought the shop on Broadway Market in 2005 and adopted the name of the previous Butchers. When the sun comes out, one of my favourite ways to spend a Saturday is wondering down Broadway Market.
67 Broadway Market, London E8 4PH

Balloons Picture: Martin Creed

Exhibition: I still need to see the Martin Creed's What's the Point exhibition at The Hayward. Pictures keep popping up on my instagram of people wading through the balloon room - art has never looked like so much fun. Tickets £11, On until 27th April.

Wes Anderson's beautiful film poster

Booking: Tickets to see Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Starring Ralph Fiennes who plays a concierge who teams up with an employee to prove his innocence after being blamed for murder. As usual, the film's poster alone is enough to get me excited.



Paint something with Farrow & Ball's Blackened. Perhaps my bedroom? An extremely pale grey, it's softer and less harsh than white. I'm pretty it is the shade of choice on the walls at the Bailey's Stardust exhibition at the National Portrait gallery too. £39.50 for 2.5l
