Best Pizza In London

I love pizza. It is 100% my favourite food, and I can happily say I could eat it for the rest of my life. There is so much variety that it could never get boring! As a pizza-holic, I would say that I am an experienced pizza restaurant go-er, having been to loads of different places across London. And last week I discovered my absolute favourite....

Pizza Pilgrims is on Dean Street in Soho. It is the cutest little restaurant with only 8 seats upstairs and around 40 downstairs. And the food is totally delicious. The pizza recipes derive from Naples, and I think that is why it tastes so beautiful. They have fresh ingredients, and even make the pizzas before your eyes. The buffalo mozzarella is totally amazing!

I ordered this pizza, which has a topping of n'duja spicy sausage. The tomato sauce is made fresh daily, so it was full of flavour. I prefer a greater tomato to cheese ratio, so it was perfect for me. And it only cost around £8! My boyfriend and I went there for our two year anniversary, and had two pizzas, two starters and a drink, coming to a total of £32. It is amazing value and I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a good pizza place, as well as getting a chance to check out Soho.

I have found some other restaurants that I am keen to check out, so can't wait to visit them and spend even more time in my wonderful city.

It's been a while...

Indeed it has been a long while since my last blog post, I have just been so busy with... Well, life!

I have been lucky enough to have met my beautiful baby cousin, Ines, while I haven't been blogging. She is absolutely adorable and I have never felt the connection that I have with her before. I love her so much, but feel like I have a huge responsibility!

eBay has unfortunately been taking up an unfortunately quite significant amount of my time recently. I thought it would be a good idea to download the eBay app - and my God, don't do it! I am constantly flicking through and finding things that are going for 99p. So I bid and I win them for a quid or something, but of course there's the postage and packaging that adds on a few more pounds. And if you're like me (who bought 8 things in a day off eBay), your bank account will have a heart attack. So don't download it, for your own sake.

It's that time of year again - exam period. I am working really hard as I really want to do well in these exams. Hopefully it will pay off. Last year I think I over worked myself, and I got very stressed. So this year I started revising much earlier, to try and make myself feel more confident (which I do). I am also trying to keep myself busy in the evenings. I am about to start watching Breaking Bad properly, which I am looking forward to. Baking is also taking over my evenings. I made these muffins today which are low fat and scrummy...

It's super sunny in London at the moment, and you can tell because people are actually smiling! It doesn't happen a lot, especially on the tube, but I am enjoying everyone else's happiness.

Enjoy your week!

Lovely Lemons

This week I went to a car boot sale to see what I could find. I haven't had much luck recently, as everything that has appealed to me hasn't been my size or has too much damage to repair. However, this time I hit the jackpot.

I found this beautiful 1950's Charles Creed matching skirt and jacket, which is in perfect condition and goes so well with my skin tone. Charles Creed was a successful British fashion designer in the 1920's-60's, who's mature style was influenced by the military and male tailoring. I am not sure how much it would have cost originally, but similar items on eBay go for £70. And I got mine for £5! It is a sample piece but you couldn't tell. It's brilliant quality and the lovely light lemon colour is stunning.

Getting your yellows right is tricky, but it is a great spring colour that I think can really brighten up an outfit. It is true that, unfortunately, it doesn't suit everyone. For very pale people, wearing a pale yellow will wash you out so is not a great idea. And bright yellows don't tend to suit blonde people, but there are exceptions. However in most cases there is a yellow tone that is perfect for your skin colour, and it's just a case of trying on different shades to see which one suits you best.

I am so pleased with this purchase, I honestly couldn't be happier. I am going to team the jacket and skirt with an orange top because I love the oranges and lemons look. Just need it to get a bit warmer so I don't have to wear it with tights!

Spring time steals

Whenever I am anywhere near a Zara my instincts guide me there immediately - I cannot get enough of it! Although all the items are generally on the pricey side, I have always managed to find some gems in their sales. And todays trip into my local store did not disappoint.

Zara's clothes are beautiful. They have a eclectic mix of of elegant, quirky, basic and bold styles of clothing, which means that there's a perfect item for everyone.

I have been wanting a pencil skirt for a while now, as I love the classy look they can add to an outfit. This stunning purple and orangey-pink flower number instantly caught my eye, and for only £10 (down from £25!) I could not resist.

I can't wait to wear this skirt out, and the bright colours means that I will definitely be wearing it in the summer time. As you know I love my flower patterns so this is another to add to my collection!

Ranglan shirts are very popular at the moment, and I have been looking for one for ages that's not too expensive. After Phoebe Lettice, star of Made in Chelsea, wore one I have been eager to find one to call my own.

(sorry for the shit picture!)

I got this shirt from Primark for £4 and it is exactly what I was looking for. Although Primark generally isn't great quality, the shirt doesn't look too cheap and is thicker than most of the other shirts available in store. I am going to make sure to hand wash it so it lasts longer. 

I am loving sheer material at the moment, and found this gem in the Zara sale for only £1.99!

The sheer shoulders make an outfit look cool and the deep blue colour means that it goes with literally anything. Bargain!

I definitely need to stop spending as I have very little money due to my summer holidays I have planned. Hoping the weather gets better before then...
