The Lifestyle Diaries

An English Luxury Lifestyle and Travel Blog

Lifestyle Lately

December 7, 2015

I’m afraid I’ve been a bit of a bad blogger recently, as real life has very much taken over blog life!

This girl though 😉 happy birthday @rebemurray!! #birthday #girl #friends #aboutlastnight #sunday #Jersey #luxurylifestyle #lunch #weekend #luxury #photooftheday #picoftheday #igers

So I thought I’d give you a quick round up of what I’ve been up to and what exciting things you can expect on TLD soon!

A couple of weekends ago I finally had a ROKA experience when I went to ROKA Aldwych with a very delightful hashtag of bloggers, which was honestly one of the most fun afternoons I’ve had in a long time. In fact, it made me remember why I love blogging: it’s the people you meet and the hilarious fun that you all have.

In fact, Andy and I are going to ROKA Charlotte Street this week for a very special date night; he’s never been before and we’re tasting the new cocktail pairing menu – I can’t wait!
Foodie wise, I had another gorgeous lunch with Angie at Dozo last week; a really lovely, authentic Japanese fine dining restaurant in Soho which I’m excited to tell you all about.

Travel wise, I made what was meant to be a surprise trip to Jersey two weekends ago for one of my best friend’s birthday (the gorgeous red head in my Instagram snap at the top of this post) and had the best weekend! From partying, eating out, being blown away by insane weather and generally laughing for the entire weekend, it was a weekend that I can’t wait to repeat next year!

The reason for me being MIA? Wellll, I’ve been house hunting for the start of next year for when I start my new job! If everything goes well, we’ve found the perfect place and we think we have it! I can’t wait to share lots of interiors post in the new year as we decorate our little flat. It’s also seriously exciting to be moving in with my best friend of far too many years  – so it really is all go at the moment!
Tis the season 🎄🎅 first mince pie of the year! #christmas #xmas #merrychristmas #santa #winter #love #holiday #christmasspirit #cute #food #foodporn #instafood #yummy #yum #foodie #dessert #cooking #tasty #sweet #mincepie #baking #mulledwine #sunday #f52grams #mincemeat #advent #merry #happy #fun #ilovechristmas

Now that the house situation is sorted I finally feel like I can get into the Christmas spirit and visit some of the pop ups that I’ve been so excited about. Andy and I will be getting as Christmassy in the cold as possible before we jet off to New Zealand very soon, and I’m seeing Colleen this week for a delicious Christmas afternoon tea. 
Delicious cocktails @yauatchacity as part of their Supreme Saturdays menu. Coming very soon to the blog! #cocktails #London #luxurylifestyle #lunch #luxury #chinese #foodpics #foodporn #foodphotography #foodgram #pretty #cute #delicious #aboutlastnight #igerslondon #instamoment #instayum #instagood #instalove #picoftheday #photooftheday #toplondonrestaurants #martini #igers #instapretty

This year my Christmas cards are from Dot Creates, my very talented blog header designer, wo has just launched a gorgeous new collection! I’ll be sharing more about these this week but for now make sure to check her beautiful cards out. 
I can’t believe the past few month have literally flown by; there’s only a couple of months before I start back at college for the last 6 months of my academic training and I plan on making the most of every last second (yes parents, and resting so that I go back to real life rested!)
