Day Out In London

We had a fab day out in London last week. Munching our way through some amazing food at Borough Market (so enthralled was I, that I didn't even get a chance to photograph it), a visit to the Tate Modern, The Hayward Gallery, stroll through Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace, ending in dinner and amazing Italian gelato at Brixton Market with some great friends.

London

I had a fantastic weekend catching up with my fab friends Louise and Shona in London this weekend. I went to see the Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate Modern, saw Craig Charles at his funk and Soul night at the Jamm in Brixton and had the most delicious coffee and halloumi wrap in French & Grace in Brixton Village on the Sunday. Just fabulous.

Pancakes!

I LOVE PANCAKES!

Last night, I returned home after a tiring day out in London for work, visiting Pure and Stitch Trade Shows. We saw some pretty cool things there and tons of stuff I'd quite like for myself. The perfect ending to the day was having the most delicious pancake dinner with Chris and Soph.

It was a yummy, Chinese, pancake fusion! Chinese vegetables stuffed into a pancake served with rice vermicelli and pan seared sea bass with a drizzle of sweet, five spice sauce. Pancakes should come more than once a year in my opinion.

Fashionable London

Yesterday I had the lovliest day out in London. Setting off nice and early, my friend Georgia and I made our way to Victoria, excited about the day ahead. First off was a yummy burger at Byron's in South Kensington, where we were joined by my ex-flatmate and super pal, Louise. We then embarked on a day of culture, starting with the Hollywood Costumes exhibition at the V&A. Potentially one of the best exhibitions I have ever seen! We then hopped onto the tube and made our way over to Somerset House to see the Valentino exhibition which was also an absolute gem. We ended the day by joining forces with another great friend, Shona, with a few wines and a superb Thai dinner in Soho. A perfect day x

It's Been A While

I have just had a rather large blogging break and am now realising how much I have missed it!

Over the past few months, I have been to a couple of fantastic festivals; Womad and Hamswell, had some lovely time with friends, been to London to see the Ballgowns exhibition at the V&A, seen my gorgeous nieces, experienced a flood at work, the Bristol Balloon Festival, eaten some yummy food, made some cakes and have found some lovely bits in the shops.

Now, I am settling down to watch Breakfast At Tiffanys and then have sweet dreams about the lovely holiday I have to look forward to in three weeks time!

Back In Camberwell

I had a lovely time in London last weekend. Its been a while since I have been back to Camberwell, where I lived for 5 years. I even got to stay in my old room which did feel a little strange but nice and comforting at the same time. My beautiful flatmate Shona had perked the place up with various additional vintage finds, it really is an amazing place.

London and the Licensing awards

I had a lovely day in London with one of my colleagues Tracey on Thursday this week. The weather may have been glum outside but we excitedly gaggled our way all the way into London, ready to be judges for the Licensing Awards. This is basically a day of going round looking at new product coming to market which features licensed designs (think Ghostbusters, Batman, Hello Kitty etc.) and voting for your favourite pieces. It is a really fun day out and is great as an inspirational buying trip too, gaining info about prospective new suppliers and knowing that you have your finger on the pulse with all things new in the licensing world. One of my hot tips is the new Hello Kitty and Liberty collaboration, which will soon be available to buy on home wares and beauty products. They were beautiful!
