Practice makes perfect

...eventually! In no way claim to be an ace just yet, but I do enjoy learning how to do jazzy new things like so; 

From this 
(not 100% sure if I can technically share this image...so just in case, there's a little silhouette of the main part)

Bloody love Photoshop ♥  

Date Night

On Tuesday, I was planning to go & see The Artist, as it's cheap as chips on a Tuesday. Because it's such a fancy film, Adam & I thought it'd be fun to dress up all fancy too...


(Old photo, but I was wearing this dress)

Unfortunately it seemed that everyone else had the same idea & both showings were sold out :( 

But all was not lost...after a cheeky beverage in a bar over the road from the ridiculously packed out cinema, we went for a wander & found an uh-mazing Mexican restaurant!  



It's not huge (but we did have decent elbow room), and it's not super fancy (I'm pretty sure our cutlery holder was Ikea's finest...), but the staff were lovely & Mexican & so was the amazing food! 

We got a couple of dishes each & proceeded to share - the only way to do Mexican in my opinion; 

Limes, guacamole & another dip on the left, Enchiladitas Suizas de Poblano (aka cheesy goodness) on the right.

Caldo tlalpeño

& the remains of ouQuesadillasGringas

All washed down with this beauty
Michelada
Pacífico, lime juice, Worcester sauce with hot sauce and a salted rim. 

Yum.

Definitely worth a visit if you're hungry & in the Notting Hill Gate area!

My picks from Tumblr #7

No real theme this week...just what I'm liking at the moment :) 








All links on my Tumblr (apart from the last photo...that's just old-fashioned good times!)

Limited facial expressions

Yesterday Sj & I went shopping at Westfields to find her a party dress for her birthday next week! Exciting stuff. 

But before we got down to the serious business of selecting outfits & shizzle, Sj took me over the road to the smaller, tackier shopping center to show me the most UHmazing thing ever - one of the photo booths that takes a strip of different pictures & gives you two copies! 



After the first set, we were hooked (& proceeded to go into the Poundland opposite for props)...




And then took a few more, just in case...



BIG love for this - we're already planning our next trip ♥

Happy List

This isn't a list of mine, but a list as featured on a blog I'm loving reading at the moment, Rockstar Diaries, but I love everything about it...

here is mallory's list of 10 things that make her terribly happy:
  1. when the screen goes completely white during a movie & the whole theater is bathed in a beautiful glow
  2. cutting my finger nails {strange but true}
  3. any sandwich that involves toasting/grilling & cheese
  4. the way a piece of paper feels after it's been covered with writing from a ballpoint pen
  5. the faces of little kids listening to you while you read them a book
  6. the feeling you get as you climb the first huge slope of a roller coaster
  7. half-melted ice cream
  8. the first time you're alone after a first kiss with someone & can privately & ecstatically freak out
  9. getting a genuine & meaningful compliment
  10. reading while taking a bubble bath

I first saw this image at the Tate Modern exhibition "Exposed". Have it on a postcard at home & absolutely love it. 

What would be on your Happy List?
