Weekend dates

This weekend Glen and I checked out Pizza East in Shoreditch. The cocktails were flowing and although we didn't actually order pizza (I had lamb cutlets and glen had the biggest steak i've ever seen!) the food was delicious and not too expensive. The building's an old warehouse and now with it's stripped wooden floors, divine chandeliers and huge windows overlooking trendy shoreditch, it feels warm yet unique.

It’s defiantly worth a visit. I’ve already planned a trip back with friends next week, i can’t wait to share this place (and the cocktails) with them.

another video to share

I've just got back from a very busy couple of days away, and on my return i saw this. How much do you love Zooey and her dance moves! She looks so cute.

It's such a brilliant music video and the song puts a huge smile on my face too!

Oh and happy St Patrick's day people, i hope you've had a good one!

I heart Friday

I'm spending this weekend relaxing, baking, catching up with friends, reading and babysitting my gorgeous 5 month old nephew.
I hope you all have a lovely one whatever you get up to.
Fingers crossed the weather stays nice and we can all enjoy playing in the park!

Lost Things

Lost Things is a short stop-motion film written and directed by Angela Kohler.


I have fallen hard with this wonderful, creative and clever video. I want to play in this world for a while. It reminds me Alice in Wonderland, anyone else?

Angela is a photographer and she is one talented lady. Her photos are beautiful. you can check her website out here

The little film that put a smile on my face when i didn't think anything could.

I watched "Away we Go" last night, and I can honestly say that a film hasn't left me feeling that inspired since seeing "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", and the soundtrack just complimented the story so well.

So whilst browsing the songs on you tube earlier I came across this lovely little film. Doesn't London look beautiful? Is it sad that this made me feel a little emotional? Probably yes, I know!
I hope you like it as much as I do.

Rasa N16

Rasa in Stoke Newington is not to missed on a trip to London. We love going here and eating traditional Indian food. We ordered far too much, but honestly the dosa's are the best we've tasted since coming back from India. We had the most amazing dinner and spent our time reminiscing about our trip to South India last year.  The staff are so friendly, the decor so pink and the food delicious. They have two restaurants on the same street opposite each other, one is vegetarian and the other meat. Have a look at the website here. 

Red velvet cupcakes

So well it's a special day today, not only is it mine and my boyfriends 3 year anniversary but it's also my blogs 1st birthday!

So as a special treat and a romantic gesture for Glen I made some red velvet cupcakes to celebrate. I'm a terrible baker and normally everything I bake comes out black and not so edible but this recipe is so easy even i can successfully make them! These cupcakes are perfect for valentine's day and i can't wait to make more of them and give them out to my loved ones. 

I found the recipe here from an english cook called Gizzi Erskine {tipped to be the new nigella} check her website out. I can't wait till her book comes out in March, everything she makes looks so delicious!
