Bubble, Bubble, Toil & Trouble!


Yeah… I know I’m late but being spooky isn’t just for Halloween and neither is Halloween Afternoon Tea! Or least it shouldn’t be because the afternoon tea I want to talk about here is WAY too good to only make an appearance once a year!


I was sad when I missed out on this last year so as soon as I found out that there would be a repeat of Mama Doreen’s Halloween Afternoon Tea I knew I HAD to book myself in for it! After rounding up a couple of friends who also wanted to eat this masterpiece, I booked us in for Saturday 2nd November!

As soon as I knew I was booking this, I knew it was an opportunity to wear my new dress – St Vitus by Haenuli! I attempted my best gothic look with what I had in my wardrobe and while I think it leans closer to classic, I was comfy and happy and really liked what I did with my face!

(Makeup isn’t my forte so I’m really happy with this look! Eyes and lips courtesy of Miniso's Pink Panther collection!)

Unfortunately, Saturday was a mega rainy day but thankfully, Mama Doreen’s Emporium was really close to the train station. Despite the rain, the mood was certainly not dampened because once we got inside I was like *__* because this place was SO aesthetic! 

Unfortunately for me it was very busy so I wasn’t able to take my outfit shot in there but I immediately thought it would be great for a meet or for ILD because I know LOTS of people who would LOVE this place and I instantly knew that I personally would definitely be back!
A firm believer in ‘treat yo’self’, I got the afternoon tea with spooky cocktail called Witch’s Brew (there’s Vodka and Midori so I’m sold) which was aesthetic as hell!

Worth paying extra for – 7/10 would drink again!


After enjoying our cocktails, we got some tea (I’m boring, I just got good old Yorkshire Tea!) and our afternoon teas!

Now, let’s talk about this Halloween Afternoon Tea that I’ve been hyped for since the beginning of October! I was really excited when this was delivered to me but as always, the camera eats first!

This is LITERALLY the afternoon tea of dreams! Visually, it was a masterpiece and EVERYTHING tasted SO good! I loved all the little details like the glittery strawberries and little pansies on the scones! So cute! These were literally the prettiest, yummiest scones I’ve ever eaten! Because I got the cocktail too, I paid £30.95 (without is £24.95) making it the most expensive afternoon tea I’ve had in the country but it was worth EVERY penny and I would 10/10 eat this all over again – it was THAT good! I can’t wait to go back and try their other teas, this has raised the bar for afternoon tea expectations SO high.
Visuals - 10/10 (this tea was absolutely stunning!!!) 
Taste - 10/10 (everything was delicious!) 
Value for money - 10/10 (the price was high but there was a lot of quality food so it was absolutely worth every penny!)

 Overall - 10/10 would eeat again!

Remote Twinning - The haberdashery is open!

Image
Welcome to another edition of remote twinning where Christina and myself twin in a dress featuring dresses that we have talking about for years! This dress by Meta is my favourite WfH dress because it's so comfy! I have also been informed that the other cut is ALSO mega comfy! I called this dress 'Princess Wardrobe' but apparently it's called 'Lace Up Doll'... does it have multiple names??? Once again, our wardrobes have little in common (it is now common fact that not many people own the things that I do ^^') we tried to pull together similar elements including a short sleeved blouse with peter pan collar, lace legs and out hair in buns! 'The haberdashery is now open!'  In honour of The Great British Sewing Bee (episode 1 was 22nd April!) and the theme of the dress, we took sewing/ dressmaking themed photos and I Photoshopped us together in a sewing room which we wished was ours! It was hard to get the right lighting

Comfy Coords - Lockdown Edition

Image
Going to meets is my main source of human interaction outside of work and besides the occasions where Eden and Persie come round and have dinner with me, it’s the only socailising I do so the current situation has left me feeling a little… lost? I feel like my frilly weekends are quite a big part of my life so having them removed feels strange. However, I am going to do my best to not abandon my frills for the duration of this lockdown just because I’m not going to a meet! We’ve tried to make virtual meets a thing and since I’m working from home, I’m trying to keep up with what I like to call ‘WfH: Frilly Edition’ but you can call it whatever you want! Since most of the time will be spent sitting and poking around my flat, comfort is key so here I wanted to share some of my comfy looks so far! JSK – ETC Cutsew –Taobao Socks – Anna House Necklace – Angelic Pretty Brooch – After Midnight First things first, nothing says comfy more than a cutsew! That’s probably why

Attack of the Clones - Twinning Meet

Image
First things first, I've never seen Star Wars so this reference is wasted on me but I was V excited about this theme and had a great time at twinning meet! So who am I twinning with and WHAT are we twinning??? I twinned with Hana (Eden was an organiser but we were technically triplets!) and we decided on Whipped Magic! My flat lay with all the bits I planned to wear with Whipped Magic featuring a blouse and socks from Anna House that we both have! Unfortunately the day of the meet was a rubbish rainy one but because we had an indoor venue, that was okay and the time spent in the rain was minimal. Upon getting in I could see that the organisers were pulling together the last bits and pieces and people were already laying out their goods for the bring and buy. These brand skirts were ONLY £20! There is sailor, Mana help me! And that really beautiful set from Love From the North! And strawberries!!! Oh NOOO! Many yikes and walk arounds la
