Back in London

I arrived back in London last night and was whisked away to dinner at The Sun in Clapham Old Town,  by Gooders... who I hadn't seen in a few days. It was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy a glass of white wine. (So my fringe boots were overkill really.) He snapped a quick one of me before we left for dinner. I hope everyone had a great weekend. 

Wearing - Tank top: Celine (not the real thing but a fakey from a market stall....shhhhh (similar HERE), Jeans: Zara, Boots: Super Trash (Buy them HERE), Bag: The Church House in Somerset (buy similar HERE), Blazer: Zara, Sunnies: Urban Outfitters. (Buy them HERE)

Best Tea in Taunton

I would like to introduce you guys to the Daisy Cottage Tea rooms in Bishops Lydeard. The world best place for a spot of tea. Another new find introduced to me by my mum. The vibe is so Granny's attic and shabby chic, I absolutely love it. Not to mention the great service and food which is delicious. They also do a great lunch menu which is updated regularly, not just your standard pannini with a side salad but actual wholesome food. I had a spinach and goats cheese filo pastry tart and finished it all off with delicious Tea and Scones, This is where daisy cottage truly excels. Mismatched china and none of your high tea pretentiousness just gold old fashion tea with plenty of jam and cream for your scones. Give it a go if you are ever in Somerset, you will not be disappointed.

Scones! These are the prfect Scones, light, crumbly and airy. 

Wallops of jam and clotted cream

Address: 5 Church Street, Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, TA4 3AT
Open: Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4:30pm

Ta ta for now!

Dublin

Went on a family trip to Dublin a couple of weeks ago and didn't want to fly out alone from London so got Gooders to come with me.... : )

Not many pictures taken as it was a family holiday and my dad likes his privacy..... (he doesn't have a facebook!) I kind of agree, sometimes its nice to enjoy the moment instead of taking loads of pictures the entire time. I know, strange coming from me!

Anyways here are my favourite pics from the trip in Dublin city centre and at the Guinness factory. 

The best part about our stay was the amazing Dylan hotel. I really recommend staying there if you are visiting Dublin. Visit their website HERE.

Jumper: H&M, Skirt: Charity shop (it used to be ankle length but I cut it), Coat: New Look, Shoes: Ash, Bag: Mulberry. 

Where to go in Somerset

Visiting my mum is an absolute treat, as she always takes me to new exciting boutiques tucked away in the country side, usually harder to find than pirates treasure, but just as lust-worthy. This time she took me to  Church House Interiors in Bishops Lydeard, which has recently opened.  The outside wasn't promising but the inside was an Aladin's cave of wonders.

This shop has the most beautiful home wares furniture and is great if you need to get a special present for someone in the family. It also has lovely scarves and hand bags... the best part... all of it so reasonable, I could not believe my eyes when looking at some of the prices. The lamps were a particular standout.... behold:

These scarves would make great prezzies.

I could not get enough of these beautiful cards.

I want this Salmon pillow!

I really wanted this butterfly print lamp.... it was only £75! I can't wait to decorate my own place.... one day.

The upstairs:

I want this bumble bee lamp too!

Peek-a-boo!


Big purple sofa... swoon.

Beautiful kitchen units for sale.

The store also has its own cafe, which you can relax in after a strenuous shopping session... ahhhhh.

What we bought: My mum bought this very sweet birthday present for a family friend. 

I bought one of these handbags... on sale for £15, they would charge triple that in London!

Wish I could take them all.....

Isn't she a beauty? Powder blue.  (I never buy big colored handbags..... obviously feeling brave today) Cant wait to wear it this summer!

If you want to have a visit yourself....

Address: Church Street, Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England, TA4 3AT

Enjoy!

PS: Im wearing: Wellies: Le Chameau, (so much more comfortable than hunters, I can also wear them to drive in as they are so flexible, which I could never manage in my other wellies... I bought them in a farm shop but you can buy them HERE) Jeans: Abercrombie, Jumper: My dads and its from M&S (its soft and I am going to steal it from him), Gilet: Zara.
