The Tea Files - The Savoy

I'm back with another instalment of the legendary Tea Files! Well, not legendary really, but when theres cake involved it usually is to me...

This time, we attended afternoon tea at The Savoy in London, the most beautiful hotel set right in the heart of the Strand. We were originally supposed to have tea somewhere else this day, but upon arrival we had a really bad feeling about it so ended up making a last minute booking at The Savoy, something we did not regret at all.

Boots & Berries

Despite Autumn/Winter being my least favourite months, it really has grown on me this year. Especially when outfits like this one exist in my life. 

Flowers for Fall

When you think of flowers, what instantly pops into your mind? Summer? Spring? Well, I know in my case it certainly wasn't Autumn; the season of trees and red leaves. But, Blossoming Gifts who offer flower delivery sent me one of their gorgeous Autumn themed bouquets and my mind has most certainly been changed.

Rose Gold Walking

If you're not aware of my rose gold obsession, all I can really say is 'Where have you been?!' With rose gold and copper metallics being the most 'on-trend' colour of all time at the moment (especially in the blogging community), it does feel a little cliche every time I mention it, but I can't deny my love for the rose gold is stronger than ever. 

Jewellery Box Trinkets

Ever since discovering their gorgeous pieces at the Bloggers Festival, I have pretty much fallen head over heels for Jewellerybox.co.uk! Their huge variety of affordable and delicate pieces are simply gorgeous for any occasion and I have to say as a bit of a magpie I'm quite the jewellery hoarder. I've found a new love for layering as well, especially in different colours! So, when the lovely Gemma from JewelleryBox.co.uk got in touch & offered to send me some bits & pieces I couldn't say no. 

Two for Autumn

I actually cannot remember the last time I did a beauty post on here! Beauty is funny for me, as it's something I love but it can take a while for me to find a product I'm passionate enough about to write a full on post here. But, lipsticks are always an exception. 

After using up a few of my old lippies, I decided to treat myself to two new shades for the colder seasons, and I have to say I haven't worn anything other than my two choices since I purchased them.

The Showstopper

So a long, long, long time ago now I did this photoshoot that for some reason I never posted the full set of photos for, which is absolutely crazy as it had to be one of my most favourite shoots of all time. And it also features one of the most fabulous dresses that has ever graced my torso. This post may also get a little picture heavy as there were so many fantastic shots! 

Cornwall Soapbox

You may remember my series of posts from Cornwall (or not because it was ages ago!). Well, it turns out I never got to show you some of the gorgeous things I purchased on my holiday, including many beautiful candles. 

The Bloggers Blog Awards

On 3rd October, 2015, I caught a train to Victoria and a coach to Leeds to take part in what would ultimately become one of the best days of my entire life. 

If you're a blogger, I'm sure you've heard about a little thing called the Bloggers Blog Awards? Created by Hayley from Tea Party Beauty and in association with Talented Talkers, it's an entirely reader-voted blog awards, one that I was shortlisted in a few months ago. So, along with some of the best bloggers in the entire country I took a journey up North to Lambert's Yard in Leeds. 

The Tea Files: Claridges

My, my this is an a long overdue post! For some reason other posts got ahead of it but I have been looking forward to writing about it for a while. As you may or may not know my mama and I have a habit of visiting London hotels for afternoon tea and then we review them here on the blog in The Tea Files series! One place we have wanted to visit for quite a while is Claridge's; a place positively dripping in British tradition and class. 

England V Wales

Last Saturday, I really got to tick something very special off of my bucket list. If you're British, I doubt you've missed the fact that the Rugby World Cup has been held in England this year, what with it being all over the TV (including those beautiful animated adverts which don't make me cry at all...). I was lucky enough to be whisked away to Twickenham Stadium for the opportunity to watch the England V. Wales game, including a pass to the VIP lounge!
