Adventures in London Town

This weekend my utterly gorgeous friend Henrietta Lily & I decided to put our best party shoes on, brush our hair & head into the night to play. 
On Friday night we wiggled our way around Eclipse in Chelsea, before heading over to DSTRKT for dinner & dancing. 
DSTRKT isn't one of my favourite clubs, but the food really is fantastic. 
We had the chefs menu which consisted of never ending courses of whimsy. My favourite of which was a tray of raspberries, freeze dried at your table and given to you on a spoon. 
You pop it into your mouth and revel in everyone's points & giggles as you breath smoke like a dragon! 
Wonderful bit of theatre, and an attention to detail that you rarely find in late night 'hot spots'. 







As you can see, photos of the food didn't really work.
The restaurant is impressively dark so you'll just have to go and experience it for yourself!
After supper we moved over to the club for drinks & dancing.


(As you'll already know if you follow rosiethelondoner on Instagram!)





I wore a leotard from American Apparel & coral striped shorts from here. Hetti wore a dress from Topshop & I'm not sure where Penelope's little leopard number is from... but I will find out!

On Saturday it was time to drag the lipgloss out again as we headed to Annabel's for cocktails & Cuckoo for dinner.







Not quite the size of burger I'm used to... but delicious none the less!



Contrary to what this photo may lead you to believe... I was actually having a good time!


The best part of the meal was most definitely pudding!
(We had three) before hauling ourselves off to the dancefloor for shots & champagne.



The lovely Ariel.

One for you?




After a few too many bubbles, our night started to look a little like this... 


So it was time for taxis.


Dress is a vintage little silk number I found in Paris & shoes are total impostors from here
Of course we also got up to lots of mischief during the day, but that's a tale for another time. 
Make sure you check out Henrietta's blog, she's been a little quiet of late but thanks to some fabulous new modelling contracts, you'll be seeing much more of her in the next few months!

    8. Anonymous, both Rosie and her friend are prettier than you, obviously, because those who dont hate themselves, dont hate on other people. Jealousy makes you ugly, remember that and instead of wasting time hating on other people, spend that time learning to love yourself.

    dear rosie,
    you always look so fab! you wear short skirts and dresses (which look stunning)all the time. whenever I wear skirts or dresses that are shorter, I get a bit concerned that 'something' might get revealed whenever the wind blows under my dresses or skirts..
    do you have any advice/tips or tricks to handle situations like this the best?

    thx
    sandra xx

    ps: that silk dress and shoes...amazing!

    1. Hey Sandra,
      There's a bit of an art when it comes to getting out of low cars, taxis etc. to ensure you don't end up with a Britney Spears/Paris Hilton moment.
      Basically you sort of twist at the waist and keep your knees together as you step out.
      I'm sure you can find a youtube tutorial or something on it!
      Other than that, I would say walk with your legs close together (pretend you're on america's next top model if it helps!) and if the wind blows your skirt up, quickly pat it down and laugh it off.
      It's not the end of the world!
      Oh and wear knickers.
      Rose x

      thanks so much for the advice and the quick
      response.

      I'll keep my legs together and pretend to be on america's next topmodel and laugh it off if something happens :) (love that advice!)

      have a nice evening!

  24. Rose-

    Jealous of the fabulous weekend! BUT please can you be honest about how comfy Missguided shoes are? I'm so tempted to get some of their leopard print ones (cheeky)- but I'm not a fan of this no try before you buy!
    Review needed PLEASE!

    Have a lovely week x

    1. I only ever post honest reviews, Louise!
      The shoes are comfortable... for what they are. When you're wearing 6inch heels you're never going to wallow in comfort.
      These ain't no ugg boots, lady! ;)
      But as outrageous shoes go, they're fine.
      They're also ridiculously cheap, so live dangerously! Go for it! xx

  30. Hi Rose,

    I recently bought the Althena dress from Missguided you wore in another post, and seeing this I thought I'd ask; what bra do you wear under that dress/ leotard? I'm very aware it shows a lot of skin and I'm so unsure of what bra I'd wear with the dress. I thought I'd ask, seeing as you have the dress!

    Thanks,
    Bek x

  38. Hi Rose!
    I live out in California and my girls and I are planning a trip to Europe next Spring. We plan on flying into London and then making our way to Paris, Italy, Spain, etc. While we will be doing "touristy things", we still really want to experience life there as a local. If you have any suggestions on some of the best restaraunts, night life or shopping, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Thanks!
