LIFESTYLE: Roses Only

LIFESTYLE: Roses Only

Wednesday, 19 August 2015

Roses Only is a luxury London based rose florist, but these roses arent like normal roses, they are big, beautiful and luscious and at £70 for 12 roses thats exactly what you would expect!

They offer same day delivery on all London orders placed before 6pm and come delivered in a long brown box wrapped up with a bow (we'll just forget about the rude delivery guy who complained that he had to come all the way from Baker Street when we have a florist down the road.) They arrived on a Saturday so luckily I was at home with Andrew - we took the huge box out into the garden so I could have a proper look at them. 

The roses come laid on a bed of tissue paper which made it all the more luxury - they just look so impressive even laying in the box. They even come with their own little water supply packs so that they dont dry out on the journey and they are literally the bigget roses I have ever seen. Here, I have the bright mix which is a selection of beautiful peach and pink roses.

On a seperate note - how cute are my new Vans*?! I loved the whole hawaii collection when it came out earlier this year but slip ons have always been my call and I love that they arent identical. I got mine from Foot Locker and they just so happen to be in the sale at the moment for £20 if your interested!

FASHION: How To Wear Black Shorts

FASHION: How To Wear Black Shorts

Monday, 8 June 2015

I bought these black shorts last winter. I spend the whole summer searching for the perfect pair - of course when I finally found a nice pair it was snowing so this outfit has been a long time coming! It felt like summer had finally arrived this weekend so it was the perfect opportunity for finally wear them.

I love the rose print on this top plus the background colour is black so it ties nicely into the outfit. It's actually part of a co-ord set with lovely matching trousers but it was just too hot for them when Andrew took these photos. It's by AX Paris and I came across it via Get The Label.

Lifestyle: Cupcake Class

Lifestyle: Cupcake Class

Saturday, 29 June 2013

Sorry about all the lifestyle post guys, As I've said before, it's really hard to do outfit posts at the moment and ive been to a few events lately so I hope you like these posts in the meantime.

Bloggers love cupcakes. Fact right? So I was super excited when I was invited to cupcake decorating class at the Gloucester Road Millennium Hotel. Of course I love making cupcakes at home, I've mastered the cake part but that's where it ends, I had no idea how to decorate them and the be honest by the time I've taken them out of the oven my family have already eaten most of them within 5 minutes.

The hotel itself was lovely and grand. It came across as a very conferencey kinda place with rooms that held up to 500 people. The guest rooms were clean and spacious and the even had a guest club thing where if you stay in a club room you'll get lots of extras and access to the club lounge for complementary breakfast and things like that. 

I arrived first, as usual and given a lovely summery fruit cocktail. When the rest of the bloggers started turning up we had a chat and sat down around big round tables. First we were taught how to make the prestigious rose. We used food colouring with our sugar paste and rolled it into five little pea sized balls. Then we flattened them. Carefully we had the wrap them around each other and flare out the edges until we got somthing the resembled a rose. I was so happy with my first one, the pink one, but then it went down hill haha I made two more not so impressive ones as well. 

After playing around with the cutters and different colours, we were given 6 sponge cupcakes each and shown how to pipe roses with buttercream icing, this part was super fun but the most difficult, it is very hard to make it look good haha after adding the icing we put our roses and shapes into the cream and ta-dah. All done! 

It was a great evening and Millennium made us all feel very welcome with complementary canopoês, drinks and lovely goodie bags at the end! 

Cupcake class is one of those things at I've always wanted to do, so a big thank you to the people who made it happen for me here. I've been thinking loads about things I want to do lately, well more places that I want to go to as it is coming up to holiday season. Last year I got to do some of the things on my list such as visiting the leaning tower of Pisa and seeing Pompeii. This year I'm hoping to go punting in Venice! Thailand and Disney florida (again) are top of my list for next year!
