It was my birthday last weekend and I had a wonderful weekend of pampering, spending time with my husband and being tourists in our own city – so much so I thought I’d share my pics…
PREP:
I was ready for some ‘me’ time, so indulged in a Darphin Facial and a Cowshed manicure (I was given some vouchers for my birthday).
The wheat and dairy free diet was off the cards for the weekend, so went to one of our favourite London lunches – Pizza East.

EAT
Dinner was at ‘Hoi Polloi’, we’d set some money aside for this so really enjoyed it – we loved the relaxed atmosphere and what looked to us like an homage to Alvar Aalto in the decor with the wood and copper interiors (a reference we picked up on our trip to Helsinki). The food was great and the Bloody mary was one of the best I have had.

Hi Alex love your blog! Where are your amazing earrings from? X
Thank you! And yes, I forgot to mention those earrings – they were £5.99 from mango – recent purchase! x
Happy birthday Alex! Will have to check out this hotel next time I'm staying down in London. Have you ever staying at the Hoxton? It is also ace! Ann x
Thanks, it's such a god hotel and everything you need is nearby – independent coffee houses, Cowshed manicures, Pizza East! My friend is the PR for The Hoxton actually, I've done a shoot there and it's fab…they've opened one in Holborn now which is perhaps even cooler! x
Love the bag from Zara. Can't see it online. Is it a recent purchase?
Sadly it's a couple of year old – I remember it was £90 at the time and hated spending the money but it has really stood the test of time! x
