Photo Diary #14 Do you remember what I said, that first time we met?

Sundays face | Cocktails in Clapham | Queuing | The Breakfast Club | Shiny new Vespa | Cat-face cuddles | Naughty Nars purchase

I haven't done a photo diary post in a little while now, not since I got engaged, so I thought it was about time I did a weekend post :) They're my favourite kinds of posts to read and write, I must be the nosiest blogger!

So this weekend was a pretty relaxed one, but really really good fun. I felt like it was over far too quickly! Sometimes it's nice to have nothing planned and just see what happens, don't you think?
On Friday night my friend Nicola and I had a catch up in Clapham. We had planned on quite a tame night, but accidently happened to stumble upon on happy hour, oopsy. Cucumber sour cocktails, chicken burgers and a good friend to laugh with makes for a fabulous evening.

On Saturday morning, Stef and I braved the queue outside The breakfast Club in Soho
, we knew it was the only thing that would possibly cure our hangovers. Queuing was made a little less painful though, when they brought little shots of hot chocolate and marshmallows to everyone outside, what a cute little touch! Going anywhere else for breakfast just never measures up, it was well worth the wait when my All American pancakes showed up. I'm pretty sure I could live off pancakes ya' know.

After breakfast and a mooch around a couple of shops, (which basically involved me drooling over the beautiful underwear I can't afford in Agent Provocateur), we jumped on Stefs shiny new Vespa and headed to the movies. The perfect afternoon for nursing a hangover :) Les Miserable was pretty darn good, if you haven’t seen it already I'd recommend it. I'm not going to lie, for the first five minutes I did think about leaving, but you get used to them singing every line pretty quickly. So if musicals aren't really your thing, i'd still say it's worth sticking this one out.

Sunday we scooted over to do a spot of shopping in Chelsea. I was naughty and finally purchased the beautiful Laguna by Nars, it had to be done it was on my wish list for so long!We headed back to Clapham and Stef treated me to dinner in the ever so fancy Trinity (I might do a whole post on this for any foodys out there).
Later on the lovely Sarah from Modern Damsel swung by for a glass of wine and some blogger chat.

What did you get up to this weekend? Have you ever eaten in The Breakfast Club or Trinity?

Anthropologie Furs

Hay gals,

remember when I had a day in Chelsea I mentioned that my boyfriend treated me to this gorgeous coat from Anthropologie? Well, I love it so much that I thought it deserved it's very own post :)

It's the snuggliest thing ever, you've got to love a bit of faux fur collar, right?! I also love the little tie around the waste, it kind of reminds me of being all snuggled in my favourite dressing gown. 

My only concern is I am a self confessed spiller of red wine and coffee, and this does not bode well for a light nude coat! I'm just going to have to un-robe every time I drink something dark, tehe.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the direct link to the coat for you, (maybe it's not on their website yet), but if you're around London, you'll find it in the Kings Road branch, in Chelsea. 

Have you got your eye on a new winter coat this year?

Brandy Melville

Hey chums, happy Friday!

So a few of you who watched my last video have been asking me where my jumper was from. I found this in a new shop called Brandy Melville on Kings road in Chelsea, for the bargainous price of £25. Yeh, you heard me, £25. It was my little pay day treat to keep me sane while I'm on a spending ban for the fore-seeable future (*sobs*). There are a few other pieces in this shop that I really like, I've got my eye on this scarf and this backless vest. You should definitely check it out, their prices are so reasonable. If you can't get to Chelsea they do have a website. 

Have you ever shopped in Brandy Melville before?

What are you all up to this weekend? I've got another video on the way for you tomorrow, so look out for that. I'm planning on heading to a cartoon museum, playing tennis, and practicing my make-up artist skills!

 

Chanel Print Giveaway- NOW CLOSED

Hey there beautifuls!

Remember the other weekend when I went to The Little Black Jacket exhibition in Chelsea?
I told you I'd picked up 3 extra prints for a giveaway? Well, don't worry I haven't forgotten about you. 
If you're a blogger, you'll know that at this time of year, photographing products and indeed yourself becomes a massive issue due to the low evening lighting. Also, I kind of wanted to show you how awesome these prints look when they are framed.
Anyway, here are the prints on my kitchen wall, gorgeous aren't they? I loved them so much, I couldn't help thinking about you little lot when I was there, I thought you gals would love them too.

So if you want to win the set of 3 (unfortunetly the un-framed versions) here's what you should do:
- Be a follower of my blog on GFC (blogger)
- Leave a comment below with you name on GFC, an email address that I can contact you on, tell me which print is your favourite and where abouts in your house you plan to hang them.

I'm going to leave this giveaway open for a little longer than my last one. You'll have 3 weeks to enter this time, and then I'll pick a winner at random. Oh, it's open internationally too, I don't want to leave any of you lovelies out. Good luck everyone!

Photo Diary #10 Because, we own the sky

Hi there chaps, did you miss me?!

Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you, I've just had the craziest week on my make-up artist course, it completely zonked me out. I loved every second though.
I have to say I really did miss blogging, I think if I'd had coffee I would have been able to, but caffine shakes and applying eyeliner to models do NOT mix well. I know I said I would vlog each night, but I don't think I realised how intense the make-up artist course was going to be, especially the shoot on Friday. You'll be happy to know I have filmed a vlog about my week for you though, it'll be up ASAP.

Tonight, I just thought I'd share a few snaps from today with you. We spent our Sunday in Chelsea, to pick up a gorgeous jumper I was desperate for (more on that later), and get some frames for the prints we got last time we were in Chelsea. We swung by a noodle bar called 'Phat Phuc' (tehe, I couldn't help but laugh at this, I'm so immature) and sat on Kings Road for a quick latte to warm up. I do love Chelsea dates :)

I've got a few posts planned already for the week, I feel like I have so much to say to you guys after my week off!

What have you been up to over the weekend?

Photo Diary#8 Playing in Chelsea

Outside The Saatchi Gallery | Warm coffee cocktail | my favourite Little Black Jacket prints | French market cakes

Hey darlings, how the hell are your weekends going so far?!

I woke up this morning with an extremely fuzzy head. Champagne and cocktail hangover you see, after a day and night playing in Chelsea. I literally can't remember last time I was this hungover! 

Yesterday after a feisty game of tennis (I think I finally got the hang of it), Stef and I decided to head over to Chelsea to take a peek at the new exhibitions in The Saatchi Gallery.

Our first Stop was the Gallery Mess Restaurant  . It's gorgeous in there, artwork all over the walls and giant trees with flowers and fairy lights on. I decided on the beetroot and goats cheese ravioli, it was absolutely delicious, I couldn't contain my excitement when I cut into the first piece and discovered the inside was bright pink and looked like cake!! Wowee!! We sipped our way through a bottle of prosecco and headed into the gallery.

Our favourite exhibition was called  'Little Black Jacket'. It's basically a photographic celebration of CoCo Chanel's classic little black jacket. The pictures are in a darkened room (hence dark pictures, sorry ladies) and range from children to celebrities, all modelling the black jacket. The best thing about the exhibition is that guests are invited to take home a choice of 3 prints for themselves (completely free), which are stacked up in the middle of the room. We are going to frame ours and hang them in our kitchen. 

I picked up an extra 3 prints for you lovelies, I'll be doing a give-away for those this week so keep your eyes peeled. I just thought they're such beautiful prints to frame for your bedroom walls, and what girl wouldn't like a bit of Chanel hanging up in her house, huh? 

The exhibition is on until the 28th of October, so if you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend it. 

After the gallery, we mooched around the French food market for a bit, can I just say, how scrummy do these cakes look?! Then we headed up Kings road for some window shopping, my boyfriend was a lil' sweety and treated me to a new coat from Anthropologie (my favourite shop ever). You cant really see it in the photo, but it's a nude pink kind of colour and has a big brown fur collar which goes all the way down the front of the coat. I'm totally in love with it. In fact I might even do a whole post on it later this week. I can't say I wasn't slightly worried about spilling my warm coffee cocktail down it though, I've been clumsier than usual this week (more on that later)!

Post warm coffee cocktails (which are, by the way, the most Christmassy thing ever), our walk to South Kensington tube station, of course turned into a bar crawl. I tried a few new cocktails, Cucumber sour, Crack Daddy, Passion Fruit Mojito. Cucumber sour is officially my new drink of choice. I don't know where it's been all my life. Seriously gals, you need to try it!! When we eventually did make it home, we cracked open a bottle of champagne, God knows I didn't need any more to drink, but we were just having such a great time! 

So yeah, sore head today. I think we're just going to head to the movies later to see Loopa. I think it's best I sit in a dark room when I feel like this! Have any of you seen Loopa yet?

What've you been up to this weekend? Have you ever had a great day/night in Chelsea? I want to hear about it!
