Latest Fashion Buys!

Hey Bloggers!

I hope you've all had a great week and that you celebrated the first day of Summer (yesterday) in style. There's definitely hints to it being Summer what with the constant humid weather, coffee shops bringing out iced drinks and retailers stocking lots of different brightly coloured beachwear items! For me Summer is not my favourite season but it does have its advantages, such as; being able to get away with wearing less make-up, leaving the house without a jacket and generally feeling happier with the smile-inducing weather :) So whether you're off on your jollies soon or like me, looking to start a new career path, Summer is all about general merriment and enjoying all of those little pleasures in life.

Speaking of little pleasures, I had a little nose around a foreign food market that Preston had on earlier today which was nice as they don't come here very often. I sampled some of Italy's finest delicacies and they were out of this world! I also had a browse around Topshop where I spotted lots of yummy looking jewellery items in the sale - here's what I bought...

A Taste of Italian Culture - An Assortment of Cakes, Croissants and Biscuits that were rich in flavour and worth every penny ;)

Visit to Mystery Tea House…

My favourite dish from the menu, 'Hunter Stew' which is a traditional polish recipe: Shredded cabbage and polish sausage infused with herbs and spices, served with crusty bread and butter.

Hiya! Just a short post to share with you, a selection of images from one of my all time favourite places to eat and relax here in Preston. The Mystery Tea House boasts a calm and magical atmosphere and offers a whole range of blended teas sourced from all over the world, each one an infusion of flavours that will make you feel as though you are having a full-on detox day.

With its' polish decor, outstanding customer service and a menu that will have you coming back for more, it's safe to say that the Mystery Tea House is truly unique, and is here to stay as a hidden gem of Preston town. I give this place 11 out of 10 for its' originality, yummy food and warm, escapist feel.

So, where are your favourite lunch time hot spots?
