GRAB your shades and flip flops and take a sunny afternoon to
stroll around our pick of the Summer shops.
VV Rouleaux
If you have a wedding to go to this Summer, then stop in at VV
Rouleaux on your way to the ceremony.
The huge choice in this hip haberdashery will offer something
to pretty-up your outfit, without upstaging the bride. Choose
from beautiful fabric flowers to ribbons, from feathers to beaded
trims.
Just don’t forget the wedding gift!
6 Marylebone High Street, W1U 4NJ. 020 7224 5179. www.vvrouleaux.com
Nothing Shop
Nothing Shop has been in business since 1991, selling both their
own range and labels like BoxFresh (pictured above) and
Ollie and Nic, but as there is still only one shop, there’s
a good chance you’ve missed it.
The Nothing philosophy is ‘nothing complicated, nothing
cluttered’ which comes through in the clean lines and cut
of their togs.
This is a great place to get a one-off look without the pretentious
attitude you get with some one-off shops.
230 Portobello Road W11 1LJ. 020 7221 2910. www.nothingshop.co.uk

Ganesha
Specialising in global style, Ganesa has a global consciousness
too – everything on sale here is fair trade.
And it’s an ethic customers clearly agree with as the shop
has just expanded. It’s the perfect place to bring the summer
vibe into your home and garden: choose from organic bedsheets
to bamboo kitchenware.
3 Gabriel’s Walk, 56 Upper Ground, SE1 9PP. 020 7928 3444.

Travel Bookshop
If you can’t quite make it out of the country this Summer,
than indulge in some armchair travelling with a book from the
Travel Bookshop.
It stocks travel literature as well as guides and maps, and
if that wasn’t enough to get your bum down there, the shop
featured in the 1999 film, Notting Hill.
We’re not guaranteeing Julia Roberts will stroll in as
you browse the shelves, but you will leave with a great read.
13-15 Blenheim Crescent, W11 2EE. 020 7229 5260. www.thetravelbookshop.com
Speck
Get a taste of the Mediterranean for your kitchen at Speck.
There’s an excellent authentic range of cheeses, and cold
meats – as well as some great ready meals for the less confident
chef.
If it’s a bottle of plonk that you’re after, then
staff are only too happy to recommend a bottle from their wine
selection.
2 Holland Park Terrace, W11 4ND. 020 7229 7005.
