Instagram Catch Up

My little iPhone has been as snap happy as ever recently, so here's a little update on his recent adventures. 


Rainy days are all about wriggling as close to the fire as possible, snuggly socks... and pineapple hair:


Or "Who-Hair" as one of my best friends used to call it, as apparently it makes me look like Cindy Lou-Who.


Girl time with the gorgeous Alix of Bohemia lead us to discover what we could only assume was Summer's hottest new beauty trend... eyeliner moustaches.




A few too many nights at The Electric meant lots & lots of delicious cocktails. 
Although I am a little hurt that they've stopped making my favourite. I think I'm going to have to hunt the recipe down & try it for myself. 
Obviously, if it's any good I'll share it with you! 




CoYo is my new favourite treat. Their strapline of "Heaven in a mouthful" is underselling it, if anything.
You can buy it in Planet Organic & Whole Foods but at about £5 a pot you have to savour it!
This is another thing I think I could whip up at home.
This week is all about kitchen experimentation. Stand back, people!



Blow dries & green juices. 
Just what the doctor ordered. 


Ok, so I stumbled upon this place 'El Camino' in Notting Hill.
We all know that I'm a complete fiend when it comes to Mexican food, so obviously I went in.


Long story short, the tacos were phenomenal.
I had carnitas & fish tacos (I was hungry) and they were excellent.
I highly recommend a trip, but if you go you have to invite me along?
Deal?



Custard just checking his Facebook.



What up, Ombre?
Shirt from here.




Koppaberg & sing-a-longs with the boys.




Enchanted vodka forests.


Bed head.


Unrelated but equally delicious green things.



Custard cuddles.


Kings Road hipster.


Chocolate fondant pudding at E&O. Heavenly.


Felix, my special little boy looking exceptionally special!
(Covered in powdered sugar!)


I tweeted this picture in the hope that someone would be able to tell me where it is!
It looks like the best freaking place in the world! Any ideas?


Doughball naughtiness.


Watching the sunset from the rooftops with Henrietta.


This is one of the sweetest gifts I've ever received! 


Nobel Macmillan surprised me with a gorgeous personalised leather notebook. 
Somewhere for me to jot down all my thoughts & ideas when I'm on the move. I've already ordered 3 with similarly silly titles for friends
They're my new go-to gift. 
And finally... 


My dismay at one of my favourite party haunts 'Public' closing down.
I'll never be able to ride the carousel ponies again!


This week the gorgeous miss Valentina de Pertis & I are thinking of booking a holiday together. 
A little summer get away with cocktails & sandy bottoms! 
We would l-o-v-e some advice on where you think we should go. All we know is that it needs to be hot
What do you think?

      i am not sure how to respond on here. I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now. I came across it during my final days of grad studies. My courses were just so boring.. so cruising the net was what I did. I found one of your recipes on stumbleupon and I have been reading since.

      I truly enjoy your writing. I am an English Grad; I must say I appreciate your creativity and sheer ease when you write your detailed accounts about everyday life.

      I would suggest Costa Rica to you! I am heading to Liberia next week. You can sip cocktails with monkeys, walk up to a volcano, swim in the warm Pacific Ocean, and, oh yeah, the weather is 35 Celsius or more everyday.

      Where ever you go I am sure you'll have fun.

      Ohh.. I made slutty brownies (a friend made them with me for a potluck at uni) they were fab... changed the recipe a bit.. used golden oreos instead of regular ones.. hehe!

      Thanks for the blogging

  7. omg i think i recognise that bouncy castle... either that or i went on one exceptionally similar last summer... hey i had to do something typically childish before I officially became an adult... anyways, i divulge. I was in spetses in Greece, not surprising is it that I experienced such a blatant disregard of health and safety in greece. anyways, highly reccomend that for your hols, so much fun, though be warned, those things are a LOT harder work than they look, you WILL get laughed at by little 9 year old boys. I'm not ashamed to say a mojito was urgently needed to overcome that incident. now back to revision, thank you for providing such a brilliant distraction from the french revolution and further mechanics... x

  8. Love this post! What a gorgeous photo round up of 'a week in the life'.

    I've also gone cold turkey on the diet coke - thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Hey Anon, I have a great 'cutting back' recipe I'm posting this week!
      Also if you feel like you really need pudding or something sweet in the evening, just have one sq of dark chocolate & it'll give you the fix with far fewer cals. x

      Thank you so much for your reply. Even though I'm not overweight, I have a small frame and chunky hips/thighs and have tried every diet possible and keep on failing!

      I can't wait to see your recipe, but have been 3 days without diet coke now (totally addicted for last 9 years) so hopefully I can keep it up!

      Delete
    3. If you're my hight & 9st you are not doing badly at all!
      I'm pretty sure I weigh about the same hun.
      Well done on the diet coke, I find it helps to keep little bottles of evian in the fridge just so I have the convenience of grabbing a nice cold bevvy from the fridge! Makes me feel a lot better about it.
      If you want to tone up your legs & hips, I would try exercise rather than dieting to be honest. If you really can't face it, get your highest heels on, grab your best girlfriends and DANCE your socks off! It does wonders for your thighs & butt and you wont feel like you've done anything but have a good time!

I love El Camino, there is also one in Soho and it's pretty cool inside - if you ever do go there ask to eat downstairs, it's a really awesome little vibe down there with snug booths and tea lights everywhere and even a little dj throwing down some Mexican tunes! If money is no object I'd say check out Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. My husband and I had the amazing pleasure to live there last year...it is the most paradisiacal place I've ever been too. The beaches are out of this world and it also has the best Mexican restaurant with tiki torches overlooking the most beautiful beach, their fish tacos are insane! and it has some of the most lux hotels with as many awesome cocktails as you can imagine!

    For your trip I would suggest Cozumel, Mexico...It was one of the stops we took on our cruise last year and it was stunning. If you do choose to go, a must-see excursion is the Mayan Ruins in Tulum. From Cozumel it's just a 30 min boat trip to the mainland and then a 45 min bus ride. The ruins are located on this huge cliff overlooking the ocean...and they have a set of stairs into the rock so you can climb down to the beach(the most beautiful beach I have ever seen)!

    Hi Rose! love the pictures, the sweater you're wearing on the roof is to die for! Just a quick question- I'm heading to London this June with a group, and was wondering what restaurants you'd recommend. We're a pretty large bunch of foodies (11 people) and I'm looking for an affordable place to eat that'll knock their socks off. Where would you suggest? Thanks :) x

  68. Rose--Custard is adorable and reminds me of my Mother-in-law's Maltese :)

    It would be a bit of a trip from London, but I went to Aruba in October and it's a great island for couples and singles--and there's amazing restaurants and plenty to do (or not do!)

  70. THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting about the Mexican place. I'm an American girl who misses good Mexican food when I'm in London, so I'll have to try it when I get back. Then again, I'm spending the summer in Texas right now so I might be spoiled for life after that.

    Hi Rose, as one of the commenters above mentioned, the aquatic obstacle course picture shows a Wibit sports park, and they pop up all over the place. The one you've shown is from 2011 in Croatia. Gorgeous pictures, as usual!

  80. So reading this blog a few days after I booked MY summer holiday and I'm SO excited I need to share!! My girls & I have just booked a spur of the moment trip to the Croatian islands, flying into Split and hopping on various boats to take us round Hvar, Brac and Vis...and wherever else that takes our fancy. We're staying for ten days. It's not too far...and the beaches look OUT OF THIS WORLD. Hvar is supposedly the Cannes of Croatia, just cheaper! Get on the hype & book yours there.

  85. I believe you are looking for Aqua Island at Calloway Gardens, Georgia. US Of A! :) I go there all the time with family. They have a man made mini lake for water skiing, fishing, swimming etc. A roped off section of the lake has that beauty of an obstacle course which is always fun for a little sibling rivalry ;)

    No matter how many times I read your blogs I always find myself coming back to them, I love what you write and all your recipes!

    Also I just wanted to add that you come across so confident and content within yourself that it actually inspires me and gives me that boost to gain more confidence and break away from being so shy all the time.

    Always look forward to what you will blog about next!
