ANGIE SLEEPS & EATS - Shrimpy's Restaurant King's Cross
A short walk along a gravel path from King's Cross station, past a giant neon bird cage swing , you will come to a peaceful spot by the Regent's canal and new resturant Shrimpy's (opened May 24th) Housed in a disused petrol station, Shrimpy's has been redesigned by architect's Carmody Groarke.
A transformed rectangular shaped container that is 3/4 resturant and 1/4 kitchen and supplimented with 2 porter loos (In the chicest way) the decor is simple yet perfect with new art commissions by Donald Urquhart and Jonathan Trayte. A long bar that connects the resturant to the kitchen is a hive of activity, staffed with an army of men in white coats that wouldn't look out of place designing furniture by day.
We sat at the bar and were quickly laid up with beautiful whiter than white napkins and silverware.

I ate.
The most amazing sunshine yellow,sweetcorn chowder, total happiness in a bowl and would work just as a well on a rainy day as the perfect comfort lunch. (Please Mr Shrimpy can you email me the recipie)
I loved how when you stick your spoon into the salsa out oozed a generous serving of sour cream.
For my main course I ate roasted monkfish with a radish and fennel salad.
The simple salad complemented the fish and I felt quite virtious but slightly jealous as the boy sank his teeth into the resturants most popular dish; soft shell crab burger with avocado.
The famous soft shell crab burger. WOW.
And for dessert I opted for the poached quince with creme fraiche and almonds and being my first quince ever was most impressed - its a bit like a big tasty pear and what they don't tell you on the menu is that the almonds are caramalised and are just the right sweet to what the quince is sour.
Shrimpy's is a mix of old skool Miami meets achingly cool Hackney (think The Raleigh / The Standard Lido but without the plane ride) It has arrived just in time for Summer and is definitley one of my new favourite dining spots.
Open daily from 11am until 11pm

#WIW (Why It Works) . . . Girls Getting It Right In The Style Stakes !
*The minimal colour pallette
*Neutral accessories
*Boots to balance out the girly skirt
*Strong accessories (black bag & watch) again to balance out the pale tones
*Hair up is key to this look to keep it modern and less grunge
*Details, love the slightly rolled up sleeve and boxy cut bottom of the tee
*Letting the trousers do the talking
*Taking the sexiness out of the fitted jeans with a button up shirt
*Up-dating colour the SS12 way with a metallic accessory
*Its all in the details (collar and bracelet)
*How to work classics hard ! (the classics being jeans, trench, tan sandals, sunglasses, denim, white tee)
*Items up-dating this look, colour pop bag that is co-ordinated with jumper.
*The item that makes this special is the necklace and sunglasses.
*Hair down and wavy instantly makes this less try hard
*The perfect monochrome look
*Kept light and summery due to the sandals and how the colour is divided to the top and bottom half.
*Her hair helps keep this look clean and simple as it balances out the bottom half
*If you have lighter hair you could swap the white tee for a black one
