Because it's Monday

Ah, Monday mornings... Aside from making endless to-do lists for the upcoming week, I also tend to let my imagination run wild, which is why I'm loving these two pics above and below. Admittedly, I'm wishing I had a long weekend and was still in bed in the middle of a major schnooze fest... For those of you Stateside, Happy Fourth of July! Enjoy your uber long weekend!

I love the idea of a tea party in the middle of the streets of New Orleans (sans the rain), however I'll probably throw in some delicious cocktails. (Please don't judge)

Most of you may have heard about the craziness that's been going on in Greece. We also had power cuts sporadically throughout different burbs most of last week (really frustrating when you've lost work/internet connection), resulting in me paying a visit to my mother-in-laws cake shop and stuffing my face with ice-cream. There was no power, I hate wasting food, so what's a girl to do but eat cake and ice-cream eh?

I had some amazing news from two of my bff's, two couples have finally set a date for 2012, hoorah & congrats! I can't wait for their special day!
Lastly...

Loving these words of wisdom

Wishing you all a fantabulous week cherubs!

Fashion: Good enough to eat!

Look at these little beauties!!!

No, I didn't make them, but somebody else made sure that fashion magically transformed itself into delectable delights! This sounds too good to be true, no?

If you love food & fashion, happen to be in London, you get your fix at Pret-a-Portea, at The Berkeley, Knightsbridge.
That said, the little Chanel Clog biscuit just looks way too cute to bite into... What a great place for the girls to get together eh?

Skirt-tastic summer

Sorry peeps, I'm afraid i wasn't much of a happy bunny this morning, I was just having one of those hectic days (with lots of errands to run but short on time) and needed to vent it all out.

Anyhow, all that sunshine and running about, (well lots of walking without car), means that a girl deserves a bit of treat. So what do i do? Devour and finish off half a tub ice-cream... These 'Daily Pleasure, SCANDAL!' pots are huge by normal standards and really delicious too. It's the first time i've tried the range, but the Vanilla Secrets flavour simply rocks - i'm digging the scattering of caramelized pecans and slithers of caramel. De-lish!
What's flavours tickle your tastebuds?

So on that yummy note I leave you with some summery
skirt-tastic action, enjoy!

Swallowing London

Cor blimey, that week went fast. I managed to see what the fuss was about in 2 of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga... good read indeed, just haven't seen the movies yet, I just don't particularly want to be let down either by a movie if the book is good.

Anyhoos, what did I see, do and eat in such a short space of time?
Jom Makan 5-7 Pall Mall East 020 7925 2402 for a bite of Malaysian
Breakfast At Tiffany's - Anna Friel did a pretty good job of Holly Golightly at the Haymarket theatre, but there wasn't enough of Audrey's quirkiness. I'm still wondering why there was any need to get naked - that applies to both Joseph Cross role as William 'Fred' Parsons and also Anna - what was the reason for getting buck naked eh?
Pho at Westfield - Shepherd's Bush/White city. Nothing was going to come between me and my beer Lao - haven't tried it? Well it's the best darn beer i ever tasted, for real! Oh this is a speciality Vietnamese restaurant with authentic tasting dishes/noodles/pho etc
Dim T - Dim sum in a nutshell. Great little chain (went to the Charlotte st branch by Goodge st tube), I'd rate this over Ping Pong and the cocktails were good, but my love still lies with Yauatcha.
Bloww - 4 Regent Place - the only place to get your hair cut, coloured, styled, whatever! My Nick has been doing my hair for yonks and it always looks fabulous!
Bincho Yakitori - 16 Old Compton st. Amazing Japanese restaurant with a million varieties of Sake - i stuck to the hot stuff and enjoyed some seriously delicious Yakitori skewers of grilled seafood, meats and traditional dishes. The staff were really friendly helping us pick out some food and yup you can get overstuffed from Japanese snacking.
Annies - 162 Thames Rd, W4 - near Kew bridge. I was there for one of my oldest pals birthday celebration and we had a bloody good time. My friends couldn't have said it better, the circle of friends was complete. This was a great place for food, great service and lots of people getting together, with an offering of vegetarian/vegan dishes too. What else was brilliant? My other mate had a Black cab as her car giving the drunken ones a ride- love it!
China Boulevard on the River - No. 1 The Boulevard, Smuggler's Way, SW18. I needed another hit of Dim Sum and this was where my mate summoned us to. We ordered way too much, but managed to eat almost everything in sight. Oh Dim Sum how much i've missed you.
Pizza Express - Can't go wrong with this chain for Pizza's. Actually I seem to remember choosing the Greek St location for convenience for everyone who was dropping by. Also at this point i'd spent a hideous amount of money dining out, so thanks to their 2 for 1 offer, this was most certainly the most ideal & budget friendly place to eat.

I think that rounds of a rather large amount of dining out action. Now back to cooking and preparing the Greek X mas goodies.

Eating London

Yup, that's what i'll be doing for the next 7 days... Some of the places i'll be stopping at include the following inexpensive but stylish settings:

Noodles
48 Dean Street
W1D 5BF

Nove - Italian
8A Sackville Street
W1S 3DF

Dehesa - Charcuterie & Tapas Bar
25 Ganton Street
Soho

Melati - Indonesian & Malaysian
30-31 Peter Street
Soho

Well all i can say is yum yum yum.
