Eastern Market

Please note, the georgous red coat with fur collar! It will be mine!! I just need the funds first :-) 

So I discovered my new favourite place in DC, Eastern Market, it's full of amazing goodies! Including vintage clothes, furniture etc 

If I had a million pounds I'd spend it all here! 

I had a lovely brew at the Vigilante Coffee Company, also best branding I've seen so far (take that Starbucks!)

I finished off the day with a margaritas and tacos at El Centro in Georgetown, 

I'm heading to New York tomorrow, stay tuned....

Summer in October?!

Also it's October and it's weirdly still sunny and warm, I thought I'd show you some of the culinary delights I've been sampling throughout the month, my favourite being the Oreo flavoured

frozen yoghurt, yum :-) 

Maggianos Italian opened near my store and invited us for a free meal, obviously we said YES!!

Rooftop Pool and Cocktails 

Sorry I've not been on here lately, I just moved into a new apartment, yay! And I'm being a busy bee with work! 

It's been a crazy busy week, with exploring national mall and enjoying rooftop cocktails......yawn, so dull :-)

My work put together a scavenger hunt across DCs cultural district, collecting clues across its Smithsonian museums and sculpture gardens, 

The Hirshorn Museum was my favourite, as I got to see the very cool Barbara Kruger exhibit, 

We also went to see the famous star spangled banner at the American history museum and one of the original American flags! 

I finished the day off with cocktails....poolside I may add! How very cushy of me, lol! What a way to round off my week,

Seeya soon....

Fast Food

Whilst staying in Virginia I got to experience an authentic American diner, I was healthy at the beginning with a salad sandwich combo, then I go ruin it with a mocha milkshake, yuuum! And the biggest straw in all the land! 

Check this cool diner jukebox 

Also They love me so much here, they decided to name a salon after me! 

Wearing my new 'Stone Cold Fox' top and Topshop boutique trousers to go and eat some delicious all American food, in northern virginia! 

Drinking and Shopping

The Smithsonian American Art Museum

African Culture Festival, Downtown DC

New purchases - Coat 'H&M', iPhone Cover 'Free People'

Topshop, almost ready for the grand opening!

Hey :-)

So I've been enjoying the nightlife in DC which is pretty cool, it's not as crazy as New York, but I've come across some real gems! My favorite so far has been 'Madams Organ' situated in the neighborhood of 'Adams Morgan'....get it?! It's interior is a melting pot of random ornaments and junk yard memorabilia, also there's a lot of taxidermy (note the leaping cat in the second photo!) 

Adams Morgan is my favorite area so far, every bar seems to have lots of live music going on, ranging from jazz bands to rock and folk music,

I got to do a spot of shopping too for the fall, as most of the clothes I packed seem to be for the summer!

I bought myself a pale pink jacket from H&M, also while I was in NYC I bought a phone case from people people, which is also pink for some reason, I don't know why!!

I then went on a wander around the Smithsonian American art museum, which has really cool stained glass windows, while I was heading back to the train station, I stumbled upon the African Culture festival, selling some amazing clothes, jewelry and food, unfortunately I didn't buy anything, as I'm saving for rent on a new apartment! But it was nice to 'window shop' anyway!

Only one 26days till my new store opens, can't wait to get in there and make it look pretty, I'm so excited to get back to styling again, it's been a while!
