Do put baby in the corner

While the removal people busy themselves with packing away my life, I have continued to busy myself with my tour of London. Hipster Dufus and I have been thinking about what the last few tastes of London we should be. I thought that I would be desperate to try out something new, that I'd never done but this just left me with the sense that London is just too big. It made me wonder what else I would be missing out on. Instead what I have loved is going to all our regular hideaways in London.

The Corner Room is definitely one of my parting tips. The affordable option for those interested in the michelin starred Viajante (also in the same building) Corner Room is high end dining with a laid back flair. If you're a foodie the name Nuno Mendes will mean something to you, and if you're not then introduce your palette to the always surprisingly weird but deliciously inventive food that they consistently produce.

Voguing Around

Much, much fun with my main girl Pamela xx 

Bye!

Friday was my last day working at the wonderful British Music Experience. I spent most of the day photographing work mates and getting on their nerves! I managed to get Nat-Nat eating chicken and looking very 'yard' as he put it. Ro-Ro managed to not run from the camera when I came near her. And some of you were working so hard I had to get pictures of you just doing that! (Ahem, Becca and Paul). It has been an amazing three years guys, I will miss you all dearly. Please, please, please keep in touch and continue to work hard to make our little museum successful x

To D.I.Y for

So I'm unlikely to give you great tips on a D.I.Y project based on the latest fashion inspiration, but then that was never my goal. I am however very crafty in my own way and my anniversary yesterday got me thinking about the whole of my wedding experiences including the preparation. I'm not going to romanticise it at all. Weddings are a pain in the 'behind' (for lack of a ruder word). I still don't understand how one is expected to plan and organise the most important day of their life without the qualifications of those who have actually trained for it. I'm not speaking of the wedding planner, just an event manager! It's a job people! 

Being crafty what I did enjoy thoroughly was the creative side of it. Dreaming up the theme, searching for inspiration and looking on the internet, vintage stores and second hand shops for the items that would build my wedding. The extra added value was being able to involve friends and family in the process. From helping to set up the venue to creating all of my beautiful flower arrangements. From block printing and hand making my invitations to managing to translate my bridezilla ramblings into beautiful centre pieces, decorations and generally an amazing venue. 

Here are a few pictures that I along with maid of honour Pamela Lathbridge took documenting the hard work needed before the finished product. To see the wedding photos click on the image below. It will take you to RockN'Roll Bride where the wedding was featured. Enjoy!

 Our Wedding

Partying away my sorrow

It's very hard having the time to say goodbye to everyone in your life. One great way to fit everyone in is to throw a massive house party. Aptly named 'America Fuck Yeah!' this was the party to end all parties. Lot's of people pulled out, but in the end, those who were there really made the night. Lot's of drink (thanks Nat), 'Hoochie' dancing (according to Liz) and a mammoth hangover later (with only myself to blame) it started to dawn on me how sad it all really is. I'm going to miss my friends so much. I could continue to write this post but in fact I think these pictures speak for themselves. I love you guys!

Concrete Jungle

So the big reveal, (unless you've been spending a lot of time with me, then it's not really a reveal) we're going to New York! Hispter Dufus has secured himself a job working for the UN, and this is really the success story. How many people get their dream job, no matter what city it's based in. New York just also happens to be a dream location especially for me and my line of work.

And so three years ago, almost to the day I traveled there for the first time. We went as a present to me celebrating my current job at the BME. How amazing to be going back and this time getting to stay. I had so much fun and remember not wanting to leave. I got my wish finally.
