London - pure eye candy

So, having a full week to myself ( no kids ) and being in London..I went off with my camera and soaked in all the wonderful culture and sights...

There is something so romantic about this balcony that caught my eye... wanting me to step inside ...

I simply adore this building as the shade of olive green is one of my favourite colours ..

On the way to Primrose Hill ... to me is one of the most charming places to be...

The top of the hill at Primrose Hill park... the grey skies are so dramatic and yet so beautiful all at the same time...

...and then there is the wonderful side cafes and charm that London holds ..

Oh what would life be without all the eye candy that surrounds us??? 

St Pauls... so beatiful with so much history..

...and then of course at the end of the day I made time for a lovely cuppa tea with a English scone filled with cream and jam!!

 
 
  
   
  
  
   
 
 

Cath Kidson - London

On my trip to London I obviously had on the top of my list my very favourite place to visit and that is Cath Kidson...

Off I went and spent hours just soaking in all her colours and prints... take a look

..just adore the polka dots.. don't you??

So... when you are next in London be sure to go and check Cath Kidson. I so wish she would open here in the USA... wonder why she has not?? anyone know?

   
 

I am back!!! (from London too)

For all of you that follow my blog you would have noticed by now that I have not been as regular with my blogging as normal. Well, I am back.. with a new amount of energy.

I was away for the week last week .. was in London where I went to get some eye candy and recharge my batteries before we move into our new store.

I lived in London for six years a while back and have always loved the place. Before I went I made myself a list of all the things I was going to do for me and me alone...

One of these was to lie on my favourite bench in Primrose Hill and watch the clouds go by........ and that is exactly what I did!

Dupont Circle - Washington DC

Living in the Washington DC area or in any area for that matter we tend to take places that surround us for granted at times.... this morning I needed to go downtown to Dupont Circle and so decided to take my camera with me.

I forget how beautiful some of the building are, and all the detail surrounding them ... take a look..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

and of course as always each outing wouldnt be complete without something sweet!!

 

 

So, next time you visit the DC area make sure to get off at the metro stop Dupont Circle.... lovely shops, restaurants and a whole lot of other eye candy to be seen..

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love New York

While I was in New York last week I came across a great food market  and just had to share it with you.

 

What is it about this city I love so much?? Each and every time I come through the Lincoln Tunnel into the  city its as if my adrenalin takes on a path of its own and flows through each and every inch of my body. Every sense of mine is immediately heightened and ALIVE.

This food market I found is such pure eye candy .. I could gain ten pounds just looking at it.

At the entrance to the market is this great hanging upside down tree with crystals hanging from each branch ...

 

A wonderful entrance to food heaven...

 

 

Love the way they have put the cookies together with the lime green and yellow icing tied with orange bow.

 

Love the pretty cupcakes with the little daisies sitting on top....

 

 

 

Love, love, love all the colors....

 

 

 

 

SO ... as you can see not only do I love New York City but all that is in it too!!!! 

Blossoms all around us

 This time of year is really like being surrounded by shades of pink and white confetti. Living in the Washington DC area Cherry Blossom season is breathtaking. It marks the end of winter and shows us how incredible nature really is.

 

Imagine being the lucky bird that is going to be born in the nest of this tree?
