SUMMER STAYCATION GUIDE
With lockdown easing and the sun coming out to shine, now is the perfect time to make the most of Summer. Just because your holiday abroad has been cancelled does not mean you have to remain bored at home. There are a whole host of things you can be doing to embrace your free time this August. Here are a few of our favourite ideas.
Evening Drinks
Restaurants and bars have reopened across the country, allowing customers to relax with a much-needed drink and celebrate post-lockdown reunions with friends. There are plenty of great places to try out. The experimental bar Archer Street on Clapham’s newly weekend-pedestrianised Northcote Road offers expertly crafted cocktails in a stylish, high-energy setting. Chucs on Old Brompton Road is a fabulous eatery. Their wraparound terrace is the perfect place to while away the long Summer evenings with a bottle of Rosé. You many also recognise its bar as the setting for our Aretha likes to Sing campaign. We also love Janet’s Bar https://www.instagram.com/janetsbar/?hl=en for a fun late-night drink along the road at number 30. The staff are the friendliest in South Kensington.
What to Wear
Seaside Day Trip
A British summer is never complete without a trip to the seaside. From long walks on the beach to eating fish and chips on the pier, it is the ultimate staycation outing. A bit of fresh sea air may also be the perfect remedy for those suffering from lockdown cabin fever. Some of our favourite sandy spots to visit this August include Rock in Cornwall and Saunton in North Devon. Remember to respect the locals and wear a mask when visiting all the beautiful small shops.
What to Wear
At Home Spa Day
If you want to have a relaxing time at home, why not treat yourself to a spa day. Take the time to recuperate and realign yourself after weeks of lockdown chaos. You could light a candle, put on some calming music, and try out Nathalie Bond’s divine, multi-use skincare line. All of her products are made sustainably sourced, organic, and natural ingredients and are free from palm oil, parabens, SLS and GM ingredients. It is a great way to pamper yourself without even leaving the front door.
