The Shake Shack Stratford Launch

I was super excited when a real life invite landed on my doorstep inviting me and a plus one to the launch of the new shake shack at westfield! Andrew and I are known to spend a crazy amount of time at westfield, whether its shopping, eating (usually both), the cinema, the casino, the champagne and sky bars and usually staying the night at the premier inn (ok so we I love Westfield) so having one of our favourite resturants open up there is amazing! And after seeing the lovely store and the very friendly staff, (who were actually amazing considering how crazy the event was - smiling all night, dancing and getting involved and very very efficient) we will definitly be back for more!

#PD1stBirthday

I have followed Public Desire and their amazing shoes since they first started so I was super excited to get an invite to their 1st birthday party. I didnt stay too long as I had a whole loads of events (on a work night as well!) We drank super crazy processo and capri sun cocktails with giant fizzy cola bottles in them, ate yummy chinese food out of paper boxes and looked at all the amazing shoes.

PD are for sure the best place to get the next biggest trend. The are so ahead of the game that they are usually the ones starting the trend in the first place.

Gu #DesertIsland

To celebrate the launch of Gú's new single puds (before they were sold as a two pack) they set up a super fun pop up tucked away in Soho called Desert Island and I was invite along for 10 minutes of me time. I didnt really know what to expect.

As I arrived, I was asked what pudding I'd like, I thought I'd try something I wouldnt usually buy while I had to opportunity so I went for the lemon cheesecake, it was also super hot out so I thought that would be the more refreshing choice as apposed to a hot chocolate one haha logical right?

After picking St Lucia as my paradise of choice, I was led down the stairs to a room set up with a table and one chair for me to enjoy my dessert undisturbed. There were fake trees, all the sounds and smells of what I can imagine St Lucia is like plus the giant screen in front of me showing the beach.

I didnt take many photos since I only had 10 minutes and I wanted to make the most of them! It was pretty odd but super fun and I left with a bag full of desserts too! Only in London.

Monday, 6 April 2015

After what seemed like a very long week, Andrew and I popped down to the Shake Shack for a Friday night treat. We had been invited along to try out the new ShackMeister Burger which is a permanent new addition to their menu. We also tried near enough everything else on the menu too haha.

Of course I went straight in for the ShackMeister burger. Anything with fried onions and I'm in! For £6.25 it consists of an Aberdeen Angus beef cheeseburger topped with crispy ShackMesiter shallots and ShackSauce. The ShackSauce is one of the reasons I love this place so much so this was the perfect burger for me. It was seriously good!

Andrew went for the smokey burger which is definitely more his cup of tea, where I love onions on my burger, he loves bacon.

As well as our burgers we both had a portion of their famous crinkle cut friends covered with cheese. So delicious. Washed down, for me, with a cup of their home made lemonade, oh so American haha, I really enjoyed its refreshing taste without the usual fizz. And for Andrew, a Shackmeister Ale.

Of course, unlike Andrew, I couldn't leave without something sweet. The manager suggested their Sticky Toffee Concrete. This has become one of the best fast food desserts that I have ever had. Concrete is a really dense frozen custard and they change the flavours every week. The sticky toffee one was full of caramel crunch pieces covered in chocolate and who knows what else but it was delicious!
