Simple stylin'


Duster jacket - Wallis Limited edition
Long line shirt - Topshop
Jeans - Newlook
Heels - Dorothy Perkins
Bag - Mulberry
Watch - Michael Kors
If you read my style post a while back you'll have seen me mention that I want to start ditching the print in favour for longer lasting more practical pieces and I think this outfit is prime example of the new wardrobe I'm trying to pull together. I've got abit of an important meeting tomorrow and I'll be wearing exactly this - So I'll let you know how that goes.. I'm always asked where I got this jacket, it was such a steal in the Wallis sale of all places! turns out shopping with you're parents can come in handy afterall! I also love a pair of boyfriend jeans with heels - its the perfect match! p.s can I also mention my hair is in a ponytail!? horray for hair growth and a good set of clip ins!

What have you been wearing this week?

How I'll be spending my easter weekend






If you follow me on any social media platform you'll know that I work in London, and whilst that all being well and good .. the two hour commute either side of my day and the night shift I'm required to do is a massive ball ache. BUT, not this week, NO. Easter sunday is approaching and I'm going to be spending my Sunday work and night shift free, so I thought I'd share with you what I'll be doing this Easter ...

001: Family Roast Every easter since I can remember my family and I have always came together for a roast. We also uphold the tradition of doing an easter egg hunt in my nans garden yes I am 22 I have a very small but busy family and I absolutely treasure seasonal roasts and get togethers
002: Burning a Yankee candle  I've developed abit of an obsession around Yankee candles as of late and Bunny Cake is the latest jar to my collection, the scent is really subtle and sweet and I love to leave this on in the room for around an hour before bed for a really relaxing scent
003: Indulgence: Because if you can't eat all the chocolate and cake in the world on Easter then when can you?
004: Taking a bath: Yes, I do partake in personal hygiene - but it is a VERY rare occasion that I get the chance to kick back in the bath. I promised myself I wouldn't miss out on the Lush Easter collection and I wasn't disappointed by the offerings I picked up, these are 'golden egg' and 'hoppity poppity' - boy am I looking forward to un winding with one of these come sunday night 

- remember! its okay to have down time!
How are you spending you're Easter weekend?

This post has taken far too long to write, but I'll blame my laptop loosing the photos for a couple of months for that! Boy oh boy - Do I wish I'd been DSLR'd up on this day! 
Dan & I actually visited The Cereal Killer Cafe on Brick Lane on its opening day a few months back now. I was immediately sold on the offering of all things breakfast related - afterall everyone knows breakfast is the best meal of the day. We found the understated cafe pretty quickly, as there was a pretty hefty que for opening day. Nestled amongst the other kitsch and unique offerings of brick lane, the cereal killer cafe fitted right in. We were delighted to have a glimpse at the menu as we qued for 40 minutes to sample a taste of the magic. We were taken right back to our childhood with the unbelievable 120 choices - who knew their was that many cereals about right!?, and my fiance - a fanatic for all things american and limited edition was lost for choice at imported and limited edition selection. To put it bluntly, we were shocked at just how much selection and creation was available to a cafe that sold just cereal. I would imagine the cafe caters something for all tastes, cereals with just milk, options for customers with allergies, poptarts, toast, and then the piece de la resistance - the cereal cocktails. I opted for a 'bananarama' and Dan went for a 'double rainbow', we also shared some poptarts. A little touch which was most appreciated was the milk being served separate to the cereal, every cereal connoisseur has their own tolerance of sogginess and to have this at you're own disposal was a little luxury. We both felt the prices were reasonable as you really were paying for a novelty and experience as well as a light brunch. The cafe itself is a hub of memorabilia and a heaven for any like minded 90s kids. We spent half our time enjoying our cocktails and the other half gauping at the vast collection the Irish twins had collected and decorated their space with. We were served by the twins themselves and despite the shop being chocka-block they were polite, friendly and helpful when were weren't sure on choices. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to expand sooner rather than later as my only downside to this visit was that although the compact space was incredibly decorated, it was rather small and hard to maneover round, however it was opening day and I'm not sure anyone could predict just how popular this venue would be. We enjoyed our visit and both vowed we'd return during our next trip to London. If you fancy something a little different to the average mundane costa to work, pop into cereal killer cafe, you wont be disappointed!
