Hello Good Times

A few weeks ago I tried out 'All Star Lanes' in Manchester, Deansgate. We were just after something to eat but ended up bowling too. If your a mancunian this place is well worth a visit. The highlight for me was the cocktail for 3 served in a metal bowling ball! The Aloha Jars were also really tasty . . . topped with little umbrellas!

I've started documenting places like this in the new 'Designers Directory' section of the e-boutique. I thought it would be a great space to list all the places that keep me happy and inspired!
Check out the Designers Directory page here. It includes places in Australia, Canada, London and more.

Paramount - London

Whilst on my trip to London last week I visited a great bar right near Oxford Street, i've probably stared right at the building before without a clue there is a viewing deck inside with waiter service and amazing cocktails! If you live in Manchester I suppose it's the Beetham Tower (Hilton) equivalent.

It was handy being able to pre book, as me and @KT_Millar  had just been to a trend seminar down the road at the Fashion Retail Academy; we simply gave our name at the door, they put us in the lift and next minute we were in the bar with the most fantastic view of London. We were lucky enough to catch the sun setting, which really was a fantastic view from where we were sat.

Paramount bar, inside the sky scraper building Centre Point is well worth a visit if your in central London.
