Monica and Joe pop up shop

For one day only, husband and wife team-Monica and Joe Wahla, the brains behind the self titled contemporary online Boutique, set up shop at the exclusive Shoreditch House last weekend, and yours truly was granted a special invite.

The pop-up shop, perfectly positioned in The Snug, next to the hotel's restaurant and games room, featured  the boutique's most popular European brands including Cacharel, Malene Birger and my favourite-Pyrus. Amazing designer pieces sourced from across Europe, and champagne on tap, how could a girl resist?








I fell in love with one of the store's more unique pieces, and consequently the designer's, Munthe Plus Simonsen's, favourite garment in the collection. Each Ballet Rabbit waistcoat is hand-made, so no two are the same, and features embellishment and dyed rabbit fur in contrasting colours. Ballet rabbit multi-coloured waistcoat-£197.50.


Geometric silk multi-coloured dress by Madras-£110, designed by Jessica Ogden for French label APC.

Munthe Plus Simonsen's Bubska silk white blouse £82


I've found it so hard to track down the perfect leather jacket, that is until I saw this studded biker by Dannish designer Malene Birger, which is made from the softest leather. Varie studded leather jacket-£267.50.

 All garments are available on the Monica and Joe website.
