Shop Swap: Vintage Style Me

My most recent shop swap was with the lovely Vintage Style Me, I've swooned over Rhiannon's  beautiful and fun hand made printed skirts, as well as the pinafores for quite some time.  

I got sent this beautiful flamingo skirt which I can't wait to wear when I go on holiday. I also got an elephant printed pocket vest and a light denim smock pinafore. If you've never checked out Vintage Style Me before, what are you waiting for? Warning you might get hooked to start checking it regularly for the vintage delights on offer. Thanks again Rhiannon for taking part in a swap with me.

Nutshell

This week was mainly spent waiting to see Great Gatsby on Saturday, see more about it here. Apart from that I also ate Tapas with my family on Thursday with my Family... The potato Bravas and Profiteroles are to die for (not together obv) not a terribly exciting week. I'm looking forward to this Thursday evening as I'm going to see the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical, looks a lot of fun!

Lazy Afternoon with Gatsby

Electric Cinema Notting Hill

I took Saturday off from work as holiday this weekend to go and see The Great Gatsby and have Lazy afternoon tea at the Electric cinema in Notting Hill which first opened in 1910 and is one of the oldest working cinemas in the country, it felt completely ideal to see such a sumptious and indulgent beautiful decadent 1920s film in such a beautiful old cinema.

We were given cocktails as we walked in and sipped them during the adverts and munched on the boxes of sandwiches and little appetizers. I saved my cakes for my film snacks, as I was filled up on my egg and cucumber sarnies. The lemon slice and brownie were divine!

The film is everything that I wanted it to be and had been looking forward to. It is such a visual feast and you will not be dispointed by the lavish costumes, particularly Daisy's Prada ball gown. Leo is amazing as Gatsby and realy portrays all his emotions and quirks. I saw it in 3D as it was the only option at the Electric for the lazy afternoon tea and the 3D actually was very good, worth it for the party scenes and opening sequence alone but I do want to see it again already in 2D this time I think!

Old Sport

The countdown begun weeks ago (read: months ago) for the movie event of the year. To celebrate the release of the film I designed a Great Gatsby collection of jewellery. 

I'm going to the Electric cinema on Saturday for a lazy afternoon Gatsby themed tea followed by the movie, I cannot wait! I'm definitely going to sport the collar clips. Are you going to be catching it this weekend?

Tea, Cups and Cocktail Shots

After afternoon tea (if you read my blog much, follow me on instagram you'll know I'm a fan of the old English tradition) there's nothing I like more then finding fun and whimsical London bars to drink pretty cocktails. My sister come up trumps finding the Simmons Bar website. Situated in Kings Cross, Simmons bar serves a concoction of different drinks and cocktails in teapots and teacups, perfect clash of the two said favourites of afternoon tea and cocktails. It is also has a rather healthy 5 hour happy hour during the week... I'm feeling a Friday night venture into Kings Cross very soon!
