A Sneak Peak at Victoria's Secret

With the Victoria's Secret New Bond Street flagship store finally opening today, here are some pictures of the amazing creations in the shop window for those who can't make the trip to the store. Being a huge fan, I can't wait to see if the prices are semi reasonable or will be the lingerie version of Abercrombie & Fitch ( a rip off over here but fairly reasonable over in the States).

London's best Frozen Yoghurt places: Yuforia

As a lover of frozen yoghurt from way back in the days, to say I was pleased when the whole FroYo trend hit the UK was a bit of an understatement. I remember when the only places I could get frozen yoghurt was at Chessington World of Adventures and Tennessee Secret Frozen Yoghurt in the glamorous Harlequin Centre in Watford. So imagine my joy when frozen yoghurt places started springing up left right and centre. From Pinkberry in Selfridges to Tutti Frutti in Covent Garden (torture being right next to my gym!), I feel it is my duty to try them all and report back. Ok, it might be an excuse to indulge but I am constantly assured that frozen yoghurt is not that bad for you and after a check on My Fitness Pal app I completely agree. I stick to fresh fruit toppings which surely count towards my 5-a-day...

Anyway, first up for review is Yuforia. I am not being biased because of my surname being cleverly used here but the natural yogurt really is delicious, not too tart and they are super generous with the toppings. I went for the medium with toppings and was left feeling super satisfied without feeling of guilt that comes after a gelato moment.

With two branches in London, I have only seen the Soho branch at the end of Carnaby Street and what a cute place it is. Do pop by and see for yourself if you get the chance.

Nail Rock Union Jack Nail Wraps

When the Olympics first rolled into town I must admit I wasn't overly excited but as the days went by I found myself rushing home to watch what I could. I marvelled at the gymnasts, swooned over the gorgeous Ryan Bailey and held my breath while watching the pole vaulters sail through the air. Fair enough, I did spend a whole day calling them high-jumpers but I soon clocked on when I watched the actual high jumpers in action. No wonder I couldn't find it on BBC I-Player!

Anyway, to get into the spirit of things, I thought I'd try out these rather flash looking Nail Rock Union Jack Nail Wraps (£6.95). They transferred my nails from dull to diva in a matter of minutes. Easy to apply with a lovely finish, I will definitely be using these again. Now if I only I can get tickets to the Paralympics, that would be the perfect time to flaunt them!

Unintentional matchy matchy nails

For those of you who remember, I was rather excited about my new Nail Art Pen purchase from Model's Own from the cool pop up shop in Westfield Shepherd's Bush. Well I finally got around to trying it out and I have to say it's very good. The nib of the pen is really precise and I was able to get smaller dots than I did with my Andrea Fulerton one. However, saying that, the Model's Own pen was twice the price so I would expect to see a difference. 

The white worked perfectly against my pretty peach Wellington Square by Nails Inc (still one of my all time fave nail brands!). I was a bit worried it would look like Tippex but the white actually does have a sheen to it  . I used Haymarket by Nails Inc on my other nails.

I actually did my nails before I even bought this dress from Oasis (a real bargain in the sale!) and I put it on that day without realising my nails matched the dress! In fact, I had no idea until I got back into my car after filling up the petrol tank. It seems I am subconsciously taking matching nails to another level.

I'm not sure what I love more, my nails or my dress! What do you guys think?

NOPI - North of Picadilly...geddit?

As a beauty PR, one of the perks of the job taking a journalist for breakfasts ast establishment bit nicer than the ones I usually frequent. Not that there is anything wrong with McMuffin every now and then. In fact, most mornings I am staring longingly at those in the queue waiting for their McBreakfast at Bond Street tube station.

My latest find is NOPI on Warwick Street. Unlike most breakfast places popular with PRs and journos this place was nice and quiet.

My first stop was the loo and they were pretty cool! They reminded me of the loos at Crazy Bear but a lot brighter. I can imagine a few trapped souls after a drink or two. Luckily after taking a few pics I managed to figure my way out and find myself back to the table ready for breakfast.

The food choice for breakfast is not huge but they do the good old staples such as toast, pastries and porridge. For the more adventurous, try the Black Rice with Coconut Milk, Banana and Mango. I have to say, when it arrived for my journo friend I did get food envy but luckily my toasted Sourdough did not disappoint. It was thick enough have that crispy crunch on the outside, yet stayed soft and fluffy on the inside. Topped with my favourite strawberry jam and butter my pangs of hunger were soon silenced with satisfaction. Oh and the mint tea looked rather impressive too. I think that would have been half of my back garden in that cup.

Well worth a visit!

Prepare to be puzzled...

A very glitzy and fun toilet!

Nice and quiet

I wonder if the man was looking at the bread like I was. On second thoughts he was probably wondering why I was taking pictures of bread..

The pastries did look mighty tempting

Black rice with coconut milk, mango and banana. I think I will be trying this next time.

Yummy yummy toast...bread is my weakness:s

Mint Tea
