Hi, This week we went to the launch party of a friend’s new Brazilian restaurant called Cabana here in London. The decor is great and the food is fantastic! We ate dishes such as Spicy Tiger Prawns (my favourite), Chilli and Cumin Lamb, Pork and Papaya Sausages. Just writing this makes me hungry again, it was really tasty. We drank delicious caipirinhas and all agreed we would be coming back soon. If you’re in central London anytime ... Read More...

New Stylish Mum website StyleNest launched on Friday and featured some great pieces from Isabella Oliver and a fabulous interview with our very own founder, Baukjen. The website chose to feature the Isabella Oliver 365 Pea Coat and Satin Detail City Coat in their fashion round-ups, along with the Ruched Breton Button Dress in their pick of the best Maternity Dresses, as well as running a 5 minutes with... interview with Baukjen. We think that the website ... Read More...
Last weekend Geoff and our boys went camping together. As Pippa and I weren’t invited, we decided to have a Girls weekend together. I booked a gorgeously cosy room in Dean Street Townhouse (http://www.deanstreettownhouse.com/). Before we left home, I painted our nails orange (Marina of the Isabella Oliver team had kindly bought me a bright orange nail varnish that I had been admiring her wearing last week – thank you Marina x). We hopped in to ... Read More...
Here at Isabella Oliver we are big fans of fabulous parenting magazine Baby & Me, so we were really pleased when IO founder Baukjen de Swaan Arons was recently asked to do an interview with them. The interview, featured in the August issue of the magazine, came out today and includes Baukjen discussing topics such as Isabella Oliver, family life, her favourite styles and much more. The interview captures her perfectly and is well worth a read. ... Read More...
Hi, Baukjen here. Last weekend, some old friends came to London for the weekend and stayed over at ours. Friday evening we went for dinner at one of my favourite restaurants, one which I try to make sure I go to at least once a year. It’s called Hakkasan and it’s in Hanway Place. It’s a fun place to go, with great food and wonderful cocktails. I ordered the Pink Mojito cocktail and it was so delicious ... Read More...
Hi Baukjen here. Yesterday, after leaving the office to rush home, our car went dead at the traffic lights. During rush hour. With all the cars behind us in a single lane. Not good. We looked at each other and both realised at that moment that we had run out of petrol. And then we both looked right where there was a petrol station, a dash of luck within an unlucky situation. We're laughing about it ... Read More...
Hi, Baukjen here. Recently we were invited for dinner by friends at their home. All I can say is that we can’t have them for dinner at ours! When we arrived, the house was full of lit candles (love!). We enjoyed cocktails and canapés and after a while we went to the kitchen where all was revealed. They had left work early to prepare a sushi delight dinner. The table was full of all kinds of delicious bites ... Read More...
Hi, Baukjen here. Though my birthday was a few months ago, I celebrated it with friends and family on Saturday. We had a brilliant evening. It was made extra special that so many friends and family flew in from around the world and we spent quite a bit of the weekend together, not just at the party. Â On Saturday, with much appreciated help from family, we decorated the house and garden with hundreds of candles, stars etc. ... Read More...
