Style | The prettiest cafe in Knightsbridge

Last month I got to visit probably the most Insta friendly cafe in London - Elan. I first spotted this cafe in Mayfair and fell in love with the beautiful feminine interior and unique glam menu that offers healthy breakfasts and snacks for lunch not to mention the coffee and hot chocolate choices! consisting of caramel, cherry and Nutella flavours. I love finding somewhere unique compared to the usual everyday cafes.
Its not cheap, but then when are nice things cheap? I think even if you only experience the best and most glam of places or things once in your life, then at least you have experienced it, after all you only live once...
When i found out they were opening one in Knightsbridge, I thought I have to try it as I loved the other one so much. This is even better and a lot bigger! They have a beautiful rose wall and individual roses on each table and the chairs remind me of velvet, it feels so romantic. The coffee cups are so chic in pastel Pink, making you want a take away drink to just keep the cup!
So next time your visiting London, be sure to check it out.

Fashion | Balenciaga - Shaping Fashion Exhibition

I finally got to see the Balenciaga | Shaping Fashion exhibition at the V&A in London a few weekends ago.
I've always wanted to see it, as I love fashion and learning about different designers and how they work. I love to gain inspiration and not only is the Victoria and Albert Museum one of my favourite places to visit in London, I just love the exhibitions they hold on various designers. The previous one on Alexander McQueen, took my breath away, so it was nice to see another one with such variety to show within his designs.
The lay out of the exhibition was amazing, and there was a lot of effort put in. Each display was focused around the various shapes he created, as a voluminous designer. He designs were about moving away from the female form, rather than hugging it. Some designs were beautiful, and he worked closely with other designers too like Chanel and Christian Dior who are my all time favourites. There were ruffles, volume, shapes, detailing, minimalism and the famous no seam coat. The exhibition has finished now, but looking forward to the next one and intrigued as to who it may be on...

Fashion | My Thoughts on Jewellery brand Lovisa

On Saturday I went shopping with my boyfriend to touchwood in Solihull. It was a wet miserable day and couldnt stand to be outside.
It was nice to just walk around and have a look in the shops and as we did, we came across this unique and cute jewellery shop called Lovisa, which is Australian so I thought I would have a look. 15mins later I come out with three necklaces!
They had the most beautiful jewellery and couldnt stop picking it up. It was layed out in all the different types of silver, gold, rosegold and Black. I couldnt resist and bought these stunning necklaces which I cant wait to style with my outfits.
Most people that know me know I love jewellery but simple long necklaces with interesting shapes or diamantes on.

1| Gold chains with pretty pearls.

2| Rosegold chain with a square and a circle.

3| Black chain with circles.

I love them and think they are so unique. I get excited when I find new brands and at such reasonable prices too. Cant wait to see what they have on my next shopping trip.
Next time your in town check them out, with stores in London too they are definitely worth looking in and they make perfect gifts too!

Style | Top 5 pretty cafes to visit

1 | Lola's Cupcakes, Selfridge's Birmingham.

Who else loves to check out all the pretty and unique cafes for coffee, hot chocolate and more importantly- yummy cakes? I love to visit cafes wherever I go and find it exciting when I find somewhere unique and cute. I came across this new cute little find in Selfridge's last year and was amazed by the girly pink teapots and cups and not to mention all the different cupcakes on offer. 

2 | Elan Cafe, 48 Park Lane, Mayfair - London
I always try to look out for different places to visit and find inspiration on Instagram. I came across this beautiful cafe in London and just had to visit it. The interior is so pretty with pastel colouring's, floral's and stylish and contemporary decor. I had the best breakfast - poached eggs and smoked salmon on a muffin with a cherry hot chocolate. So comforting and yummy on a cold day. It is the best cafe by far to have found, and I'm sure I will find others along the way. This was elegant, chic and feminine - a perfect find.

3| Aubaine, Selfridges - London.
I also found this beautiful place on Instagram, as many bloggers have visited and all that attracted me was the lavender hanging from the ceiling! It's a very instagramable place and I think most bloggers have visited this place over time. I love the setting, with the lavender and the elegant decor. The only downside to this place was the staff, as I didn't find them to be very friendly which is a shame, as its somewhere I've always wanted to visit. The food was lovely as I enjoyed soup and bread with a naughty portion of chips. It was also very busy, with being popular and in the best department store in London. I would love to go again, as its so pretty but maybe just for a quick hot chocolate and cake.

4 | Peggy Porschen Cakes, Belgravia - London
I adore Peggy Porschen. The first time I went was last year in January, for a day out in London. It's the best place to go for a treat and probably a place to visit with the girls, as its so girly and pink. They do the best cupcakes and as its such a small cafe and probably the most visited cafe in London, it gets very busy so you have to pick the best time to go. I also went last year for my birthday, which was a lovely treat, As I enjoyed hot chocolate and a small chocolate cupcake. My favourite is cupcakes and I think its definitely somewhere to visit for a birthday.

5| Gran Cafe, Selfridge's - Birmingham
Lastly, I came across this beautiful cafe in Selfridge's in Birmingham whilst Christmas shopping last year. It's a gorgeous Italian cafe that serve gelato, open sandwiches and cakes. I loved my hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows - my all time fave. It was a lovely sunny day as I enjoyed lunch with my boyfriend. Definitely worth a visit and will be going again.
