Ladurée London

Soon to rival our cupcake addiction is the delicate Ladurée Macaroons. BnnGirls popped into their Burlington Arcade shop and was easily transported to a Parisian tea salon with their French staff and ostentatious decor. Our favorite flavors were Pistachio and Praline can't wait to try them all.

A Clean Cut

We were horrified when we saw this chopped in half fox as we waited for the train at Dalston Kingsland Station.

The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair

The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair hit London yesterday and we were there bright and early to get those bargains. The best value for money was £15 a kilo where you could get shirts, dresses and skirts which were then weighed.



Here is some of our favorite finds

These ring combs were the best, this was all we used when we were younger and still do now!





These are a bit rusty but I think we were mostly seduced by the packaging






Love these small brooches which were a £1 each

♥ Paris ♥

We spent a lovely day in Paris yesterday with family thanks to the £59 return and engrossed ourselves in being a typical tourist and doing all the sights. We took the Eurostar from the brand new St Pancras Station, and arrived in Paris in no time at all.
