GOD'S OWN JUNKYARD

In Walthamstow, visiting God's Own Junkyard. Wearing, Vintage Denim Jacket, Urban Outfitters dress, Black DM boots, and canvas bag (Free from a gallery in Shoreditch).
If your ever in the area defiantly venture out towards God's Own Junkyard, it's hidden away in an industrial site but is transformed for a more contemporary/alternative vibe.

Lunch at Fawsley Hall.

Jacket - Topshop      Top -Topshop     Skirt - Zara     Shoes - Dune    Clutch - New Look

Last week I visited the beautiful Fawsley Hall for afternoon tea and to catch up with family. Again, (as always) a monochrome styled outfit and paired with my oxblood loafers from Dune which have been my comfy go-to's in the shoe section recently. Also I brought along my black fur clutch, I have been loving this trend at the moment for spring and they are so easy to add to any outfit to either make it look a bit different or just jazz it up in general. Fur clutch loveeeee right now.

(oh and sorry if you noticed the pretty rubbish qaulity of the photos the sun decided to disapear when taking the pics and i also have started to use my phone for some blog posts and it has made it a whole lot easeir)

EVERYDAY | Camden Market

Yesterday, we quickly popped to camden market in the freezing cold to have a sunday afternoon wander, especially around the foody part after I have not gone there for a while, and the unhealthy, chocolaty fudge was too much for temptation. Even though my news years resolution was to stay healthy (as always) but that never really plans out. However, today i did start to use a NutriBullet, which breaks down food and then you just add water, (very healthy) I added Kale, Canatloupe, Strawberry, Banana and water. The drinks are so easy to make and are said to improve both skin and hair, so I'm planning on drinking them daily to follow through my news years resolution .

christmas | 2 more days

Only 2 more days until christmas, so i thought some festive posts were needed. Today we finished of decorating the christmas day table for a total of 24 people from my family. 

The colours were mainly gold and red (very traditional), but in the end we added some fake snow in the middle of the table and some snow spray to the windows which looked very winter-wonterland-esque. The giant baubles hanging from the ceiling have such a good effect, and i love the the gold and silver hanging decorations on the table. All very festive!

Finally getting into the christmas spirit today, I've been listening to non-stop christmas songs to get me in the mood. How exciting !  (My christmas spotify playlist here)

I hope you all have a very merry christmas ! x

When In Portugal

After spending the majority of the two weeks relaxing by the pool, it was nice to switch it up a bit and sunbathe on the beach, with my feet buried deep in sand. Theres not really much else to do when in portugal other than eating, sleeping and laying on the beach or pool. The village where i stay is a quiet, small little place not far from Lagos where my family come each year mainly to relax and enjoy the sun.

But after all the sunbathing, We decided one day to take a trip in a speed boat, seeing all of portugal's beaches in the best way possible. We also stopped at a lovely little fish restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal in the boiling heat.

I didnt take as many picture as i woul've liked too as i was simply having too much fun and forgot to bring my camera along with me but the holiday was lovely and miss it now im back in england.

How are you spending your holidays?

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter!

Today, was easter sunday and my family and I decided to hold a big easter egg hunt (Unfortunatley I didnt win!) But, we spent most the day socializing, and eating cakes and chocolate. Overall, it was a really nice day and I took some photos of the decorations as I thought they went perfectly with the easter theme.

I also decided to wear my zara dress again, with white converse and a denim jacket but didnt get enough time to take any photos as the rain would just not stop!

Hope you all had a lovely easter too!

Blondie Brownies

Thought i'd make a treat tonight, and make Blondie Brownies with the sweetness of the white chocolate and blast of rasberry together just make it taste delicious!

Ingredients : 
150g white chocolate (plus extra to decorate)
100g butter
3 eggs
175g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
200g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
175g raspberries

Break the chocolate into a bowl, add the butter and set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water and leave until melted. 

Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a second bowl with an electric whisk until it goes thick (mine didnt go really thick, but once i added the flour it was fine)

fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture then the flour and baking powder. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and sprinkle with the raspberries and add extra white chocolate chunks.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until well risen, the top is crusty and the centre still a little soft.

Lunch On Oxford Street

So I went for brunch in a place called the 'Market Place' and was quite suprised when I walked in and tasted some of the delicious food they had on offer, as it wasnt the most appealing place from the outside I thought the food was impressive with its tasty grilled med veg, but I actually opted for the market 'philly cheese' burger and delicious handcut chips (all above). Well I thought I'd start the new year being healthy and try the green diesel juice with cucumber, celery, apple & mint (sounds gross, I know!) but when it arrived to the table it came in a Jam Jar glass and looked very green, But tasted fab! I'm pretty sure its worth popping in if your visiting Oxford Street.
