Oooh! Ever so excited....

If you haven't yet started looking forward to your mid-week trip to the station to collect your new issue of STYLIST then you don't know what you've been missing!

Luckily, you can catch up on their site. It's chock full of fantastic fashion, travel, style, trends and beauty, just to name a few! AND the wonderful Dawn Porter even has a column each week! I just grabbed the latest copy and am getting ready to tuck in.

Home Time!

It's home time on Tuesday and I fancy two things, new red lipstick and a cocktail... but which ones! Any great recommendations for red lipsticks in particular?

Happy Monday!

I wish it wasn't still so cold here... isn't it meant to be May?!
Have a wonderful week!

Grace Kelly, Style Icon at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London

I was so excited to see this exhibition advertised and cannot wait to visit. The V&A is always a treat, but this is something extra special I'm sure you'll agree!

Exhibition information below:

17 April - 26 September, 2010

"The spectacular wardrobe of Grace Kelly is on display at the V&A. Tracing the evolution of her style from her days as one of Hollywoods most popular actresses in the 1950s and as Princess Grace of Monaco, the display presents over 50 of Grace Kelly's outfits together with hats, jewellery and the original Hermès Kelly bag. Dresses from her films, including High Society, are on show as well as the gown she wore to accept her Oscar award in 1955. These are accompanied by film clips and posters, photographs and her Oscar statuette. The display also includes the lace ensemble worn by Grace Kelly for her civil marriage ceremony to Prince Rainier in 1956 and 35 haute couture gowns from the 1960s and 70s by her favourite couturiers Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Yves St Laurent."

Ta da!!! Wonderful new discovery!

Bliss Triple Oxygen Mask! I just tried this last night and all I can say is wow! What a great feeling, like little oxygen bubbles busting all over my face. The smell is also truly devine. When I rinsed it off I was left with an amazing feeling and a healthy glow. What more could a girl ask for on a Tuesday evening!

Spring, spring, SPRING!

I am so excited that it's fiiiiiinally spring! Such a long awful winter, good riddance! What are everyone's wonderful plans for the long sunny evenings? Strawberry picking here I come ... well, I will need to wait a little while longer for that!

Looking forward to le weekend?

I know I am! I hope you all have wonderful thing lined up to do? If not, and you are in London, I completely HIGHLY recommend a visit to Tate Britain to see the absolutely stunning, feel good RICHARD LONG exhibition. If you like walks, nature and simplicity it's a must!

The coolest of the cool, the YUMMMIEST of the YUMMM!

This lil' blogging lady went on an adventure this weekend to check out a great lil' place that is just beyond Long Lane in Bermondsey. Known for it's Antiques market on Friday mornings, this neighbourhood has historically been super stodgy Pie n' Mash territory through and through... so I thought!
Bermondsey Street is super cool, as we all know, but further south, really? Well YES, but of course! This month has welcomes the none less than ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Bermondsey Square Hotel, home of Alfie's delectable restaurant! Oh my OH PIE!! Heaven on a plate!
On the second trip, I was not to be disappointed, it was a sunny Sunday with welcoming tables in the sun just outside their kitchen door. Roast trial run was a must for any newbie restaurant... so what did I discover... the BEST Sunday roast I have ever eaten on all of old London town, hands down. And I do not take my food lightly as some of you may know. It was delicate meat and veg, to die for Yorkshire the size of my head!( I do have a small head, but that's besides the point...)
If you don't quite believe it, then here's a lil' incentive, they're doing a 2-4-1 meal deal until the 31st! Just have a look at their website for further details Alfie's at the Bermondsey Square Hotel Once you've been, I want to hear what you think!
Ooh, of course while you're there check out the fab mod images around the hotel by the great Steve Nyman and of course the super cool dresses donned by the lovely ladies behind the front desk, courtesy of Pussy Willow on Bermondsey Street. I love the support of the local community. Fantastic work guys! Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Product Obsession #8 and ooooh it's the ULTIMATE!!

Oh, my, god! I have FINALLY FOUND IT!! This stuff is the ultimate in gorgeous, amazing, delectable body cream! I almost passed out when I first put it on, rather, it glided on to my skin making me smell like sweet goodness. Seriously, fill my bath with it, I want in. Oh L'Occitane, how do you keep making such incredibly accessible skin-pampering treats year after year without one instance of boredom! Friends, you now all know what you'll be getting for your birthdays!

Oh, I love my new dress!

I'm sure a lot of you already shop with them, but ASOS is so great! I wore thins in the park yesterday and was ready for a tea party in seconds! Great, glamorous and GORGEOUS!Champagne and strawberries anyone!?

SUN SUN SUN!

Gosh, it's been an amazing day in old London town! Sunny and about 75 degrees! What a treat for us all in these sometimes depressing days. A glass of champagne and friends in the park did me fine, what are the rest of you up to? What is your ABSOLUTE favourite sunny day thing to do, no matter where you live? Fingers crossed for more of the same tomorrow!

Spring? Sorry I missed that, but SUMMER here I come!

Hello all! Hope you've had a lovely end to horrid winter and have enjoyed a bright and cheery Spring? Sorry to have missed out on posting, been busy, busy, busy! No more excuses though, I am back for SUMMER FUN! What have you all been up to? ANy great recommendations?

Even better than colouring!

I just stumbled upon these beautiful images created by artist Christian Faur. He uses normal crayons to create these beautiful pixelated images. The fabulous results are stunning,as you can see. Wish I could own my own!
