August has crept up on us so quickly! Before we know it, fall will be here… but before we rush to get our jackets cleaned, we should enjoy the summer while it’s still here! So catch some fun parties, fashion shopportunities or just some lovely fresh air with this week’s Weekender…

lilyHave a drink, old sport!
The recent release of Baz Luhrmann’s film version of The Great Gatsby has given us a taste for the decadence of the Roaring Twenties – after all, who doesn’t love some endless partying and dressing-up coupled with amazing cocktails and canapés? That’s why we got excited when we heard that Lily & Bloom has just launched their Gatsby Wednesdays, a 3-hour long free-flow of Prohibition cocktails and hors d’oeuvres perfect to lift those dull hump days. Complete with flappers and dappers, you’ll be giving Zelda Fitzgerald a run for her money in no time!

SASSY GIVEAWAY: To celebrate their launch, we’re giving away 5 pairs of tickets for Lily & Bloom’s Gatsby Wednesday on 7 August! Simply click here to put your name in the hat.

When: 7 August (and the first Wednesday of every month), 7-10pm

butterflyWing it
