L'occitane & My Little Box

L'occitane is a brand I have been a fan of for a while now, especially their Bonne Mere range which I believe is highly under rated, My Grandma actually introduced it to me last christmas with a selection of the range.
I attended the event in which they had collaborated with the french company 'My Little Box', based in Paris it's a monthly lifestyle box subscription service which is a favourite amongst bloggers for its selection of items it sends each month. I personally like that they do something different not just the standard 5 or so beauty products.
I have to say I had kind of forgotten about L'occitane until this event, but I am very glad I was reminded of its presence! It has some absolute corker's in the range, there are obviously the cult classics such as the almond shower oil but the fragrance range has some hidden gems, my friend obsesses over the fig fragrance she blogged about it here.
The event was based in the beautiful little Covent garden store, which is well worth a visit if your around that area.

Whats Up, Glastonbury!

^ This was essentially my expression for the entire time. 

So, I went to Glasto.
After years of watching, listening and pining to go we finally got tickets.
And it didn't disappoint, We saw so much great live music, including, James Bay, Hozier, The Libertines, Pharell, Ben Howard, Lionel Richie, Charli XCX, Catfish and the Bottlemen... The list is endless.
The weather (apart from one downpour) was great, not too hot but the sun was out!
And the food was also pretty darn good!

Downtown.

I headed downtown for the day In the hope of visiting Ellis Island, unfortunately due to the crazy que I decided against it and explored downtown Manhattan instead. I headed to the world trade centre, ate by the harbour and walked up to union square through soho to people watch and sit in the sun.

Poppies and Breakfast

Today we visited the magnificent poppies at the Tower of London. 

The Tower walls are surrounded by thousands of ceramic red poppies, each individually hand placed into the ground with the final one being laid on the 11th of November to mark remembrance day. 

If you can get down to see them I would thoroughly recommend it, I believe they have extended the poppies until the end of November but they have already started taking them down so get down ASAP.  

It was a beautifully crisp, clear evening so we decided to wander one of my favorite cafe's: The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club is renowned in London for its amazing food, if you can get down there for breakfast then do but if you (like myself)  tend to avoid queuing I recommend going around 5 pm.  I know its not exactly breakfast time but the food tastes awesome whatever time of day and its not just breakfast they do, they have killer burgers aswell...

I had the 'Breakfast club club sandwich' 

Chicken, bacon, avo, lettuce and melted cheese served with slaw and leaves.

This was hands down the best club sandwich I've had. 

Gabby had the 'All american breakfast'
Bacon, pancakes, poached eggs, sausages and potatoes.
Just look...
