My Favourite Date Night Spots in London

I've lived in London my whole life and have eaten in many of the restaurants so I feel I can give a good idea of the best places to go. I know Valentines/Galentines was last week but should it really be just for one day? I think not!

Here are some of the places I've tried recently and highly rate:

Timmy Greens in Victoria

This place is great for both brunch and evening. They are mostly known for their sister restaurant Daisy Green but this is the newest one of the chain. I went for the smashed avocado on charcoal toast with cashew cream cheese. This was the perfect balance of healthy and indulgent.

Plume of Feathers in Greenwich

This is a pub so we went on a Sunday for a roast dinner. You have to book and they have set times to eat so the food comes out pretty fast. It was really good though. I had the veggie roast (one of the best I've ever had!) and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert.

Cut and Grind Burgers in Kings Cross

If you're a burger lover, this one's for you! Very reasonably priced, you can pick which style of meat you want or they also have chicken, veggie and vegan options. The milkshakes are amazing too. This one is the Oreo one.

Mildreds in Soho

This is a great little veggie/vegan chain, also perfect for brunch. I went for eggs Florentine and a mimosa!

The Bike Shed in Shoreditch

Yep another burger place, I am a self confessed burger lover! This place is a bit off the beaten track and they actually have a bike club at the back so you constantly see bikers riding past your table which is cool (and loud!). They have a great selection of veggie options and I went for the goats cheese and mushroom burger with prosecco.

Do you have any London date night recommendations?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan. Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends. I was also browsing the Esprit website and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci. You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs. Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe. Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen. Shop the look for less here .

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year. I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here . However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights . Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on. You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices. With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too! New Hobby The New Year is a gre

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC . It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours. I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned. My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services. Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
