JUMPER: Primark
TROUSERS: ZARA
SHOES: Adidas Stan Smiths 
BAG: T2

I guess this post should probably feature some spangly images of loose leaf tea to coincide with expressing my dedication to the swanky tea shop ‘T2’. Now a firm favourite on my list of places to drag my boyfriend places to shop when in London, it seems my purchases have never ventured beyond the accessories department. Tote bags and tea bowls, my favourite things to buy from this amazing shop. Though I’m yet to pick from the insane variety of teas on offer (I work part-time at a rival store - it seems a little Judas of me), I’ve sure had a good old whiff of what’s on offer, and sipped away at one too many free samples when stopping by. I find myself going all ‘connoisseur’ and treating it as a wine tasting; slurping concoctions of flavours and trying to find a description besides ‘tastes like tea’ to show off with. Do yourself a favour (though not your bank account) and check out the website. I’m expanding my mini tea bowl collection - to more than one - and enjoying my morning coffee (treacherous) served up inside, like a posh little confused Japanese espresso. 

In other news, I’ve cut my hair. I’m still obsessed with the blunt chop, though I’m now firmly in lob territory (RIP to the bob). I’m letting it grow a little for summer having just surpassed the age 7 awkward phase/mullet and determined to achieve O. Palermo length by June. However, I couldn’t fight the feeling of craving a good old fringe much longer. I owe this predominantly to my kind and caring family who frequently referred to my ‘sleek and chic’ middle-parting-look as like that of a small prince, and actually a little bit ugly. Though their brutal words pierced my Kim K wannabe soul, I finally accepted the truth that my chubby face just does look better with hair covering half of it. So I went all Britney Spears 2007 and brought the bangs back with a homemade hack job. Life is already 2% harder with the added extra of washing and straightening the fringe each morning but it’s an alright price to pay for amples more hair volume and social acceptance from my teenage little sister. 

Well, still wearing all black, still thrilled that trainers are comfortable cool and still wishing I had friends more friends to take blog pics for me. Until next time, be sure to check out T2 and maybe even give the tea a try (I’m certainly planning on it!)
