Chocolate for Miss J...

Had to show you this graphic delight in the shape of a dark chocolate square embossed with my initial! Bought for me by the gorgeous Robyn, it is from James Chocolates in Somerset {www.jameschocolates.co.uk} and not only do I love the fact it was almost made especially for me what with my initial being emblazoned all over it, the other side was topped with dried 'superfruits' of raspberry, blackcurrant and cranberry.  I was so excited about the lettering side I totally forgot to take a photo of the fruit - sorry!

Love is the Coal. That makes this train roll...

Ok, so I am pretty late getting this album properly on my radar {it was realised over a year ago in May 2010}.  Also baring in mind we saw The Black Keys supporting KOL in Hyde Park two summer's ago.  Anyway I am literally obsessed with it and have had it on repeat since Miss R gave it to me for our birthday and I in return got us tickets to see them when they play in London at the Ally Pally in February 2012. I love the lyrics to this song...

...and theses video's are hilarious!...

Laduree Macaroons X Matthew Williamson from Miss Miller...

Miss R and myself have been VERY spoilt this birthday and we wanted to say a big thank you to our amazing family and friends who made our 64th one of our most memorable yet.  We both were given some perfect pressies and if I was to list them all I could quite easily be here all night!  Anyway I thought I would share the below with you, given to us {a box each - eek} from the exquisite Emma.  During LFW {from 16th September} Matthew Williamson has emblazoned the boxes of Parisian macaroon house Laduree with one of his signature kaleidoscopic butterfly wing prints before jumping on the eurostar to adorn boxes during Paris Fashion Week {27th Sept - 5th Oct}. My favourite flavours were the Rose, Blackcurrant Violet, Vanilla and Salted Caramel - and yes they do taste as good as they look!

Until next year...

Miss R treated Mr R, Mr B and myself to supper at Pizza East Portobello http://www.pizzaeastportobello.com last night to end our week long birthday celebrations. It was my first time there and as we sat outside with Bay being a very good pupsicle and letting us devour our pizza's in semi peace we watched the sun go down over West London and bid farewell to our birthday for another year.  Miss R and myself as ever ordered the same, their delicious 'portobello' mushroom {when in Rome}, taleggio and oregano pizza and it certainly did hit the spot!

Cleopatra, coming at ya...

So with a very sore head and not much of a spring in my step I managed to leave my flat and make it to the Unique show at LFW this yesterday afternoon {had problems uploading the video so this post was delayed - my Mac is definitely on the way out!}.  Not bad after copious amounts of Sauvignon Blanc at our birthday drinks that saw me rolling in at 4am {not big or indeed clever}. I was very pleased I did.  Not only was I on time, I was also treated to Anna Wintour's dramatic entrance, complete with driver semi mounting the curb and her being ushered inside by burly security men as the paps and street style snappers went crazy.  Also in attendance on the FROW were a very dapper Hamish Bowles, ADR {fashion heroine} looking fabulous in a white trouser suit and white trilby with matching feather {top-to-toe Tom Ford no less}, Suzy Menkes and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.  On the pop star/celebrity front Kelis chatting to Nicola Roberts, Pixie Geldof and blogger Susie Bubble as well as some very stylish fashion folk to boot.  The standout pieces for me were the iconic Elizabeth Taylor B&W print sweats, gold gold gold accessories, winged footwear, hieroglyphic hip-hop prints and gold foil on knits, turquoise satin{sounds so wrong but was actually right} and the pale pink pieces. I wasn't seated so didn't have a close up view of the collection but I did manage to shoot this video of the finale - enjoy!

Loving this gold leafed slick back hair, totally want to try that out...

...and how could I miss this lucky lady rocking THE Burberry biker that I was lusting after all of last season - HOT!

Unique...

Very much looking forward to the Unique show at LFW tomorrow and if the invite is anything to go by I am sensing a Cleopatra moment. Hope that the makeup reflects Elizabeth Taylor's amaze eyes as the young Queen of Egypt in the 1963 film. Excited!  Made me instantly think of Alexander McQueen's 2007 A/W show when make up artist Charlotte Tilbury worked her magic on the models eyes using MAC makeup.

'Mac for McQueen'
