Me me me !

So following on from my yesterday's post about not knowing what to wear, I eventually found something! Well, I already bought a pair of new shoes a couple of weeks ago in sale (my Hubby gave them a funny look as though to say 'I don't think I've seen you before!' .... If he reads this he will find out the truth... They were ON SALE Darling!!). Anyway, so because they were ankle boots I knew they would look good with skinny jeans so that's two items sorted! Now then, what to wear on top??!! My hubby gave me this gorgeous set of Agent Provocateur underwear for my Birthday and I really wanted to wear it because (sorry for too much information) but on a day to day basis I don't exactly get a chance to strut around in a black see-through lace. I tried quite a few tops but most just didn't go with a bra (craziness!:)). I was just about to give up on a gorgeous bra and then I saw something lurking in the deepest corners of my wardrobe. My black silk slightly see-through pussy-bow Chloe blouse bought back in the days when I used to buy that sort of stuff because I got to wear it quite often. I honestly completely forgotten about it but then it is not exactly the sort of thing you wear to Rhyme Time group with your toddler.

Bag was easy - all of my and Little Miss S' stuff lives in my oversized Louis Vuitton bag. I might be a mum and give up my heels for trainers as it is actually quite dangerous carrying around a baby in your heels, but I am most definitely not giving up my handbags for some weird looking things with cartoons and flowers painted on them (also l known as baby changing bags). So all done. The Outfit was actually sorted in a very quick period of time!




Transformed!




In the meantime my Little Miss S was invading my 'not so big as I would like it to be' shoe collection!




Quick look into Dyptique shop in Mayfair (I would be very happy if I got these every Christmas and every Birthday!)




Drinks and dinner at Hush, Mayfair.




And then off to my favourite place - The Fumoir bar in Claridge's. It's my ideal bar. If I had unlimited funds I would have my breakfast in Claridge's , drink my coffee there and eat my dinner on a regular basis. Pure luxury:) And why not?!

Stylish Pub and children?! Yep!



I was browsing through other blogs that I'm currently following the other day and something caught my eye. Child friendly pub (a nice looking pub with stylish interior!!) with its own indoor playground????!!!! I was straight onto their website as words 'decent pub' and 'children' don't really go! Luckily, The Florence wasn't miles away from where we live so we decided to 'check it out' on Sat. And what a great little find it was (at one point I even thought about relocating there!). 
Before we had our little darling I used to be extremely fussy about which Pub I wanted to go. I preferred Gastro-pub type places, that were cosy and stylish, not too bright, with good food and long wine list, well groomed people (I'm not snobby or anything just nice to be surrounded by 'nice' people when you go out) and ideally no screaming kids! 

Now that we have our Little Miss S I'm still picky about places that we go to but my criteria has slightly altered:) I still want a Pub to be 'good looking' with tasty food but I also want it to be bright and very much child friendly! There are a lot of child friendly pubs in and around London, which is fantastic, but they are still more of an 'adult' places if you know what I mean (i.e. if your child starts crying and doesn't stop then it is best to leave as most people in the Pub are likely to be child free). At The Florence everyone and I mean everyone that was present there seemed to have at least one child. It was full of parents who most likely in their child free days went clubbing to Ibiza and cocktail sipping to New York, and now they were sipping red wine and eating salmon burgers whilst their little darlings either slept in their prams (heaven!), made lots of mess whilst eating their flatbread with hummus (that was us!), making lots of noise (majority of children in there) or playing happily in the play room. It was just one buzzing place in every possible way. Oh, and they welcome dogs which is fabulous as we have one. So children, dogs, wine, food, noise and happy parents in a great looking Pub. Ideal Saturday lunch if you ask me;)
