You know we have great jewelry taste, and it turns out we have pretty good taste in everything else, too. We’ve curated a few of our team’s top picks to help you explore London’s cafes, shop new brands and take the autumn-winter season in your stride. Whether you’re hunting for cosmic insights, a cosy wine bar, or something luxurious for your self-care routine, this guide will help you find it. 

01. Wildflowers Restaurant 

Tucked away in the heart of Belgravia, Wildflowers is a relaxed wine bar and restaurant inspired by Mediterranean style and flavors. Its restaurant serves an elegant set menu with optional wine pairing, whilst upstairs the wine bar offers great European wines, cocktails, and bar snacks in a casual setting. Visit for a luxuriously long lunch or an occasion worth celebrating. 

02. Grown Alchemist
Big fans of ‘The Everything Shower’, Grown Alchemist are an Australian skincare brand who promise an at home spa experience. With luxurious, uplifting scents, and an almost fully plant-based ingredients list, they’re a brand you need to get your hands on. We love their Energize Body Cleanser, which has a gel-to-foam formula that leaves skin soft and smelling divine. It’s a little everyday luxury to put a pep in your step.

03. Silver for A/W 

As the weather turns cooler, so does our jewelry. We think the autumn-winter season is the perfect time to showcase your silver jewels. Their cool tones echo the frosty mornings, glittering city lights, and glow of the season. Pair chunky knits with statement silver earrings, collared shirts with bold chains, and party-season looks with an icy, show-stopping sparkle

04. Café Vins
Café Vins is a must-visit coffee bar and bookstore in the heart of Soho, London with picture-perfect latte art and exceptionally cool vibes. Café Vins is a place that always has something on. From DJ sets on Thursday evenings, to unexpected residencies and collaborations. Plus, they serve great matcha.

05. Terracotta Coffee

Terracotta Coffee is an independent coffee shop run by husband and wife team, Dan and Carla, on the East Side of Belfast. Terracotta encourages people to 'be coffee snobs’. If your weekday or weekend ritual is treating yourself to a cup of coffee, it might as well be a good one, right? Terracotta boasts reliably delicious coffee, as well as a range of decadent and experimental freshly baked cakes. Pictured above is an insane S’mores Brownie Pie of Carla's creation. 

06. Astrology Readings
Your birth chart and horoscope can reveal more about you than you might expect. They can bring meaning to everyday moments and help you see your actions through a new lens. Astrology readings often uncover personality traits, patterns, and hidden motivations, offering insight into who you are at your core and the journey that lays ahead. Whether you’re seeking direction in love, life, or a big decision, we think seeing an astrologist like Astro Dejavu could provide thoughtful guidance.
 

07. 4th & Reckless Co-ords

Makers of effortless style, 4th & Reckless are a Manchester-based womenswear brand elevating high-street dressing. And, with fall in full swing, it’s the perfect time to check out their latest pieces. We especially love their tailored co-ords which wear effortlessly from day to dinner plans, and are an essential for the fast-approaching party season. The best thing about co-ords is that you can mix and match the sets with your wardrobe basics to get the most out of your pieces.
