Shrimpy's

Shrimpy's is an American restaurant in Kings Cross, located in the filling station. The food is quite different from th other American restaurants I've been to. I have a soft shell crab burger, which was delicious. The restaurant is very hipster with its colourful doodles and quite relaxed. I absolutely loved the dessert, which was a pistachio and brownie sundae.The pistachios were caramelised, which gave them a nice crunch. I went with my friend Aidan, who enjoyed it so much, that he took a date there. They had a nice range of cocktails on the menu too.

Harvey Nichols 5th floor terrace

I love Harvey Nichols and always end up going to the fifth floor food court. My friend Alex and I decided on a coffee and cake date on the fifth floor.We were taken to the terrace, which they have designed in a log cabin style.It's so cute with videos of fires etc.There are heaters there as well, however do not go when it's raining.

On the menu they have several interesting drinks including vodkapops.We decided on a more PG option, with hot chocolate and cake.The hit chocolate was thick and very creamy.Yummy.

Emma Victoria Payne Bridal Dresses

My friend Emma Victoria Payne is a Wedding dress designer who has designed some beautiful wedding dresses. She has a shop in Knightsbridge and everytime I visit the shop, it's like being transported into a fairytale.Here dresses have a beautiful vintage feel to them and I definitely have my eye on a dress when (someday) I get married. She also designs bridesmaid dresses that can be worn for special occasions, Check out her website Emma Victoria Payne.

Recently, she had a bridal event with canapés and champagne, which she invited me to. It was a lovely event where there were hairstylists trying out different hairstyles and loads of Jimmy Choo shoes to try on.

Emma is as lovely and as beautiful as her dresses, therefore a great choice for your big day.

The Burger Trend

So with all these American Burger type joints opening up,I thought I would check out MeatMarket (sister of Meat Liquor). I had tickets to see The Lion King, so MeatMarket was the perfect option. I had the Black Palace burger and I really enjoyed it. Burgers can sometime be way too greasy with no flavour, however the burger at MeatMarket was full of flavour. I've been told that they do a mean milkshake, unfortunetly I was too full to have one. On another note, I finally got to see The Lion King and let me just say it was Amazing.

Macaron Patisserie

There is a cute little patisserie in Clapham that I have walked past several times,I decided to buy my sister a few macarons. I always buy my little sister a treat when I go back to my family home in Norfolk.The shop reminds me a lot of the type of cafes in the Movie Chocolat (one of my fave feel good movies).

Bond and Brook

A place I love going for coffee after a day of shopping, when around the Bond Street area, is Bond and Brook. It is located in Fenwick and has a modern vibe to it. One of the reasons I love this place is because there are so many coffee table style fashion books that you can read, while having a coffee. A cute extra that they do is a bowl of smarties type chocolate that comes with your drink. I'm a bit of a sucker for the little extras so I was sold when I saw the chocolates.Check it out : Bond and Brook

Laura Mercier - La Petite Patisserie Hand Creams

I received the cutest present for my birthday from a friend who knows me well. As a lover of all things patisserie and sweet, I was given a quartet of hand creams by Laura Mercier. The fragrances were almond coconut milk, fresh fig, creme brulee and creme de pistache. They all look so pretty and smell divine, I loveeee them.
