Christopher Kane Gorila T-Shirt
Remember THAT gorilla print dress by Christopher Kane we featured a while back? Remember how your heart fluttered just a bit when we promised you t-shirt versions? The time has come, and you'll need to get in line now for the jungle fever that's about to hit when these babies land at Dover Street Market tomorrow, for men and women. No monkey business, alright?
£220 at Dover Street Market. |

FACT OF THE WEEK
Rye Rye at Cargo, This Friday
Cargo's Free Fridays continue with another killer night, headlined by Baltimore queen-in-waiting Rye Rye. Adored by M.I.A, the teenager is the voice behind two of the best club hits of recent years, 'Shake It To The Ground' and 'Hardcore Girls', and expect the sass turned up to the max in the live setting. Support comes from two of London's most forward-thinking DJs:Night Slugs-founders Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990.

London Festival of Japanese Art Rope Bondage
If you thought bondage was limited to that thing you like your girlfriend to do on 'special' days, you've been seriously underselling what the Japanese consider to be quite the rope-bound art form. This festival, starting on Thursday, incorporates workshops, seminars, a Night of the Rope and intriguingly, a rope free-for-all. Sunday is a day of Chishiki and Tanoshii (knowledge and fun) so expect talks and presentations, Shiatsu, acupuncture, Hojojujitsu, and a Japanese Market Place. Time to stock up on some twine methinks…

EAT & DRINK |
|
Serpentine Bar & Kitchen
It's not that I've got anything against picnics but creating the perfect, Blytonesque spread and finding the right idyllically leafy spot (not to mention crease-proof, summery - yet not too revealing - outfit) can sometimes feel a bit too much like hard work.
Which is why I'm all for the new breed of stylish cafes that are popping up in London's parks: Mr Peyton led the way with Inn The Park in St James's and now the Benugo boys, Ben and Hugo Warner, have given the cafe next to the Lido in Hyde Park their own stamp of old-fashioned English charm.
There are country lawn staples like ham hock and tarragon terrine with piccalilli as well as the slightly more adventurous whole roast mackerel with green beans, and organic 'Benugo Gelati' for pudding, all at pleasingly reasonable prices.
You can either eat inside the cafe - with it's central Fifties-style snug of armchairs and standard lamps - or take a table, deck chair or beanbag on the spacious deck outside and watch everyone messing about on the water.
Or, if you're dead set on finding that perfect patch of grass, you can always pick up a variety of picnicy bits to go or one of their speciality hampers - not forgetting lashings of ginger beer.
