There’s something Parisian about my weekend look – a breton and blazer are that fail-safe combination that just gives you that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that just works.
I love a good brunch spot (see my last post on my favourite places here) so when cool new fashion brand Mo & Co (recently launched at Selfridges) asked me to wear my favourite piece in a favourite London spot, I jumped at the chance to try somewhere new (all in the name of research, obviously). Pont St, in Belgravia, is like a hidden treasure behind the hustle and bustle of Knightsbridge – calm, uber chic and with tiles to die for – it’s a dream location for the perfect mix of poached eggs and people watching.

Wishing you all wonderful weekends of cooked breakfasts and breton tops. Living your weekends like a Parisian is always a good idea…
This post was in collaboration with MO & Co, a super cool new brand launched in Selfridges – I urge you to check it out!

Mmm the French do know how to do their food right x

Love those new Boden pumps, and have now bookmarked the list of brunch spots for a trip in November, thanks!
I couldn't believe it -£50! xx
Which is why I try to avoid France for a holiday -as much as I'd love to live on cheese and bread, my body just wouldn't agree!
So pleased! I'm hoping to start some London City Guides soon, actually – it's the one place I don't really do as a tourist – so need to start!
Love this look Alex, particularly the Boden bow pumps -delicious! How's the sizing on the Asos jeans?

Such a classic look and oh my goodness those shoes, I love the gold ones too. That breakfast looks delicious too. x
I would say quite big, to be honest – I got a size 10 (as always think Asos is cut for a 16 year old) but actually, I could go down a size x
