81.___Cornwall, what we did in pictures.

We had a great time in the few days we were in Cornwall, none of us wanted to come home and back to work! I had the short straw of working the day after we got back, I wasn't impressed with the early starts! When my alarm went off at 7.20 all I wanted to do was open the balcony door and see the sea, what I was actually faced with was a rainy morning. Not happy.

The first day we were there, after the drive from Weston we had a lovely lunch in the hotel's bar on the terrace and headed down to the beach for a bit of paddling.

On our first full day at Watergate we spent the day in wetsuits body boarding, which was so much fun! I was the youngest one of us and we all found it brilliant, D & T even went back later in the week! Yes I do have photographic evidence of this, and no, I'm not going to show you!

The Wednesday was The Boyfriend's 21st, which I'll get to later. We had a brilliant day at the beautiful Kynance Cove, which is down near the Lizard and about an hour and a bits drive from the hotel.

The View

On our last day we headed off to Padstow, which is lovely, it's a small town with lots of gorgeous independent shops, selling some really beautiful gifts and cards. 

Cornwall is lovely, definitely go if you haven't already, we're already planning our next trip!

80.___The Hotel at Watergate Bay, Cornwall

After the wedding we headed off to Cornwall for 4 nights, which was lovely. We stayed at The Hotel at Watergate Bay, the hotel is beautiful over looking Watergate Bay, and conveniently enough has Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant just across the car park!

We had a bedroom in the main hotel with a sea view, our room, which we think was a disabled room, as it had a different bathroom door to the other's rooms, was spacious with a double bed and balcony with amazing views!

(Sorry about how dark the photo is - you can still make out the furniture...just!)

The bathroom was wonderful, bath with a shower in it, and the toiletries were fabulous! A little set from L'Occitane, I was very impressed. 

The views were breathtaking, here's one of the sunsets taken from the balcony.

If you fancy heading over, here's their website The Hotel at Watergate Bay or if you're on twitter, follow them @WatergateBay.

70.____Harvey Nic's we love you!

Harvey Nic's have made internet perusing a whole lot more interesting, including revealing their new ranges of cupcake and china, both of which I love!

Their Knightsbridge store have recently taken on Pudding Cook, creator of these gorgeous cupcakes.

The cakes which are £2.95 each are made by Rachel Nimenko, who is a former Chef de Partie at Edinburgh's Number One restaurant. If only they were dairy free! Might have to get The Boyfriend to sample one and report back when we go to London.

Harvey Nic's other new surprise is Blaue Blume China is magnificent and compliments their cupcakes brilliantly.

The wonderful Teacup & Saucer, I'm not a massive tea drinker but I could definitely be tempted by one of these.

What an amazing cake stand! Who wouldn't want a one?

The china is ranged between £15 and £128 which is a really reasonable price for such interesting pieces.

In other Harvey Nic's news, their new trends are amazing, and have already inspired a hole in my bank account!

I love the Erdem Adelpha Floral Dress, the Yves Saint Laurent pumps & the Lanvin choker.

The new minimalism trend is very chic and can be easily dressed up or down depending on whether it's teamed with jeans or heels.

I may splash out for the Marc by Marc Jacobs studs which are gorgeous, and the McQ scarf is definitely on my wishlist! It'd be perfect for our trip to Cornwall, it's more beach chic than English Riviera, but the glamour will be the same! Can't wait!
