The Breakfast Club

Well well well, The Breakfast Club have definitely won themselves another loving customer and I'm officially jealous of my sister and her boyfriend living 10 minutes from this wonderful place of all things yummy. They may possibly have earnt themselves a permanent weekend houseguest. I'm even willing to deal with sleeping on a sofa if it means I get to eat all sorts of brunch-y goodness the next day. 

After waking up a million times in the night (I wonder if my stomach knew what was coming.) I officially gave up on sleep at around 8:30am and awoke Lauren and Sean like it was Christmas morning, which well, it might as well have been. After a discussion about where my first London brunch experience should be, my mind was made up, The Breakfast Club it would be. Of course we got there at prime brunch eating time and Sean was not impressed at the prospect of queuing, so we sent him off to Borough Market in search of doughnuts, he failed! 25 minutes later we were in and taking note of all the items on the menu. After some serious deliberation we concluded that it was too difficult to choose between sweet and savoury, so we ordered a bit of both. A full English for me, which I have to say was incredible-the bacon was even perfectly crispy. A full american for Sean and Eggs Menadick for Lauren, yes it arrived shaped like a penis (It's a charity thing, honest.) 

Followed by a jaw droppingly delicious stack of pancakes and we were well and truly stuffed for the rest of the day. Thanks for having us breakfast club, we had a great time!

P.S. We may have had a little look in an Oliver Bonas store on the way home and I officially want everything for Christmas HINT HINT

Sophisticated?

Hey guys!

So today I went for brunch with a friend who's back from uni for the weekend. Brunch to me sounds sophisticated. But believe me, we are far from it ha! She's one of my fave girlies and eating food is a favourite hobby of ours. Best way to bond!

This furry hat/headband thing from Accessorize was included in my latest haul post, and I have to admit. It's the best thing I have bought in ages, I am in love with it! It's so warm and snug and will be worn constantly during this cold weather. I decided not to do an OOTD as the top and jewellery I am wearing have already been featured in a quite recent one. I woke up late and was in a rush to meet her so my makeup is quite natural. I decided to go with a nude lip and I am wearing a Benefit lipstick in the shade 'Lady's choice' and you can find it here.

Giraffe is quickly becoming one on my favourite places to eat in Bluewater. The breakfast and brunch menu is heavenly! I settled for eggs and bacon on sourdough toast and chunky wedges. Next time I am going to have the Brioche french toast with apple compote and Greek yoghurt. NOM!

Natalie decided on eggs and bacon on Foccacia. We had already covered our food in ketchup and such when I remembered I needed photos, so I apologise for the not so pretty food pictures!

I got so excited by Lola's cupcakes opening nearby (that and I stood gawping at the cakes for about 20 minutes) that I had to buy one. A good old Red velvet settled my cupcake craving.

I couldn't leave without buying something that wasn't food. I bought more clothes on Thursday so it was time for a beauty product of some kind. Essie won the battle and I went for Sexy divide and Jamaica me crazy on the 'buy one get one half price' offer that Boots has currently got going on. I'm excited to use these, I'll let you know my thoughts!

After a final chat over a Costa hot chocolate it was time to say goodbye again until Christmas :(. Have you ever been to Giraffe? What's your favourite menu item?
