I feel like that was probably one the best birthdays I've ever had. I woke up washed and straightened my hair got dressed and went and met my friend Briony for brunch in Hoxton .. well it was a pretty late brunch we met at like 2 (Is that still classed as brunch?) .We wanted to go to the Breakfast Club but there was literally a queue around the block so instead we found ourselves in a creperie tucked away just off of Rivington Street called Shutterbug! 


This place is amazing, it's really cute ,the customer service is impeccable and the food... don't get me started on the food ......
I had a bacon ,avocado and spinach crepe to start ,then had a Nutella and strawberry one for dessert ... anndd a freshly squeezed orange juice to wash it all down ! Miss Briony had banana and Nutella one and a macchiato yum .....Yum.......YUUUUUM!!!!
Safe to say we'll definitely be back !!! Plus the owner and the staff were soOOOooo cool.

Then I went and did a bit shopping as I still didn't have a anything to wear for my b-day meal ....I had a wander around Spitalfields market , popped into Absolute Vintage, Blondie and Urban Outfitters ( I ended up grabbing a Micky Mouse t-shirt from Topshop and pairing them with my trusty faux leather leggings and wedge boots )
Then I went home and did my birthday cake with my family, then shot off to Hampstead for my birthday dinner with my friends at Tinsel Town ..I was only a cool 50mins late.. ooops ! I have a slight obsession with this place ,if you don't already know it's an American style diner with the best burgers ,shakes and desserts ever. Plus they stay open till 4am !!

......MANNNN I love these guys !!!


What a perfect day ! I love my family and friends ....oooh and I was at Liverpool St station just about to top up my oyster card and this guy gave me his travel card for the day for free as he wasn't going to be using it ...score !!!!

'C'est la vie ....

Aaaargh Friday was just one of those days .... So basically I got to work a whole TWO HOURS late because I didn't read the timetable properly  .I thought I started at 2pm when I really started at 9.30 am !!!!Cue a call from my manager asking me where the hell I was..... !! I swear I've never gotten ready so fast in my entire life.....I rocked up late , not a stitch of makeup on ,with hair that was frankly frightening !It's days like that, that build character I guess ,but I just felt like I spent the whole day apologising which is never fun ,especially when it's a bloody 12 hour shift... yeah I know. Also a little confession I felt sad ,so on the way home I bought myself a big packet of those yummy hazelnut wafer things and ate EVERY single one of them and then I had a little cry to myself. I felt alot better though (a little bit bloated) but sometimes you just need to get it all out , put your pyjamas and sing along to a bit of Kelly Clarkson on full blast to make you feel better !

 On the upside ,I met a girl from Essex who seemed even more excited about 'The Big Reunion' than I was .If you didn't know, some of the biggest bands from the 90's + 00's such as Liberty X, Five ,Honeyz and my ultimate faves Bewitched are reforming for a nationwide arena tour ... Plus ,I didn't realise it but there's an ITV series about them all reforming that I HAVE to watch !!!! Anyway yesterday was .....MY BIIIIRRTTTTHHHDAAAAAYYYY !!! Stay tuned for a blog about what I got up to
!!!




(Seee Bewitched were rocking that whole 'double denim' trend agggeeesss ago :-D )

So yesterday I went to meet my amazing friend Amie in Holland Park .We ended up going to Paul (that little French place with the pretty cakes) and literally everything looked so delicious, it took me forever to decide what I wanted ...Safe to say the lady behind me was NOT impressed! Luckily the sun decide to shine which took the edge off of the frankly ridiculously freezing weather we've been having here in London. I'm always soo bloody cold so I decided to basically wear all the clean clothes I could find layered on top of each other...yup. In the picture above I'm wearing a jumper, a huge chunky knit cardi, a denim jacket and and another oversized cardigan.........






Oh and later I popped into a pub to use the loo and came across this little gem :-)

Hi I'm Darlene ,I live in East London. This my first blog entry and if I'm honest I'm a liiiiitttlllee bit scared so please be kind! I spend SO much of my time (mainly when I'm supposed to be doing work) reading blogs and watching vlogs and tutorials on YouTube. Basically, I'm really nosey and love taking a sneak peak into other peoples lives .

So, I guess I'll write about stuff that interests me like music, fashion ,make-up and food ..... yeah DEFINITELY food! But we'll see how it goes, yeah?...


Lots of love,
Darlene xXx
