The Robot Estate

The Robot Estate provides the chocolate to Hotel Chocolat. They are located in Borough Market. It's very rustic and has a cargo look to it. I decided to try the hot chocolate (I'm addicted). It was a thick and rich hot chocolate with a chocolate flavoured cream.I really enjoyed it. I tried some of their chocolate which is of good quality. Perfect place to buy dark chocolate.

Caravan King's Cross

Caravan in Kings Cross is a great place to meet up with a friend, for coffee and a light bite to eat. I love the atmosphere in there.It's very laid back, great acoustic style music playing, rustic look and old fashioned candles burning. We decided to go for wine and a meat platter. Very tasty. It is located very close to King's Cross station.

Barbie Tshirt

I'm in love with this barbie crop t-shirt. Great for the summer.

Joe Allen

If you want to go for American food with classical such as meatloaf, then Joe Allen's is the place to go. The decor inside is very American with lots of pictures all over the wall, dark lighting and a casual atmosphere. It's quite hidden and a basement style restaurant. I decided to go for a burger on the secret menu (you have to ask for it as it isn't on the menu). It's location is great if you are going to a show after. Joe Allen

Sugar Overload

Millie's cookies (my favourite) and green apple candy floss (Hope and Greenwood). I love all the sweets that Hope and Greenwood sell.

The cafe is in a quiet square and it is great for a coffee.The school is next door, so you could check out the type of courses they do. It is located in Bloomsbury square.

Moustache Vest

I'm in love with this moustache vest, which I found on amazon. I have to buy it.

Iced Coffee

So I love iced coffee, which lead me to find Jimmy's iced coffee. The iced coffee come in these cute little milk cartons and have a retro design to it. They sell it in Waitrose and Giraffe. Link here

Pix Bar

I find a Pix Bar a lot of fun to go with friends. It's tapas food on different sized sticks, you pay for the number of sticks at the end.It's similar to the Yo Sushi colour system. The food is delicious, you end up buying more and more. There is one in Soho and Covent Garden, the one in Covent Garden is a bit cosier. It's best to go to the Soho one if there is more than two. The restaurant has a edgy feel to it and is quite darkly lit. It's a relaxed place to go for dinner after work. Link

I'm so excited totry them with a nice cup of tea. I just love Charbonnel et Walker and I adore their packaging.Link to the website

Bill's Cafe

Billy's Cafe is another great place for breakfast. It's a rustic looking cafe and shop, where you can buy things such as condiments and chocolate. I went there for an early, after work dinner. I had the halloumi and hummus, which was grilled halloumi I'm a bun with humus (it came with fries). I also had pink lemonade (which I absolutely love) and a brownie milkshake for dessert. I really enjoyed the food there and liked the relaxed atmosphere. I went to the one in Covent Garden, however there are a few located in London. Link Here

The Great Gatsby

I'm really excited about The Great Gatsby movie adaptation with Leonardo Dicaprio and Carey Milligan. I love the flapper fashion of the 1920s and had to dress up as a flapper for two events. One was for the secret event Prohibition 1920s and the other was for a summer ball at the Hurlingham club.Miuccia Prada has also revealed the dresses for the new movie - beautiful. Here is the Link

Hurlingham Club Ball




Yoobi

Over the weekend, I went for lunch at Yoobi, the first Temakeria restaurant in London. The interior is ultra-modern and minimal, made out of wood panels. It's sushi type food inspired by Brazilian food and it was delicious. I kept buying more and more.I loved the Tuna Tartare one, with it's delicious guacamole. I will definitely be going there again for a quick, delicious, sushi lunch. Link Here

Choccywoccydoodah

As it is snowing, I think it is an excuse for hot chocolate. Yesterday, I went to choccywoccydoodah with my friend Aidan. I was trying to be good and just have a hot chocolate, however Aidan bought a cake and we ended up sharing it. The hot chocolate was amazing, so thick and chocolates. It came with a chocolate curl, whipped cream and marshmallows. I love it when hot chocolate is made with molten chocolate. The shop is located in Carnaby and you will be amazed by some of the creations. I had always wanted to go to the original in Brighton, so when they opened one up in London, I was excited.

Paternoster Chop House

It's a steak and British food restaurant located in St Paul's. The restaurant is a relaxed atmosphere with delicious hearty food. I loved the starter which was brioche with truffles, mushroom and egg. There is also a delicious chocolate brownie dessert to try, which is a rich dark chocolate.Definetly a place to go with guy friends or a boyfriend, as there is a lot of meaty food, which my friend Aidan enjoyed thoroughly.







It's snowing in London!!!

Time for earmuffs.

Checked skirts and tasseled flats

I love checked skirts, so I bought one from Gant kids (I'm quite short, which means the XL from the kids section sometimes fits). Tonight, I paired it with some blue tasseled flats(from Zara Kids). I should have worn thicker tights, as it was freezing.
