Beautiful breakfasts

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day. I wish I could have it more often than the occasional Sunday. On our recent trip to Cape Cod we stayed in an absolutely adorable Bed and Breakfast and the only thing that could have made our stay even better was if they had served breakfast past 9am (noon would have been ideal for me). Fortunately, they served the most ridiculously scrumptious breakfast I have ever had. Below are a few snaps of our absolutely divine food.  

Baked nectarine with raspberry sauce

pancakes with dried pineapple (definitely trying that soon!)

Cantaloup in watermelon juice

Vegetable frittata 

Emirates Air Line

During the Olympics we had tickets to the boxing in the Excel center. Heeding the warnings about transport, we left 4 hours before the boxing started. Of course we had an absolutely flawless journey and pulled into the Docklands about 3 hours early!

Not wanting to just hang out in the Excel center we decided to hop on Emirates Air Line, London's new gondola transportation between Greenwich and the Docklands.

Roundtrip fares on your Oyster card (yes, you can use Oyster!) cost £6.40, which isn't that expensive, however the views aren't that spectacular. However, as the area gets built up, I'm sure this will change. 

Just booked!

I was so excited a few weeks ago when one of my girlfriends emailed to say she'd be in Paris for a conference and did I want to meet? Of course, was my answer! And now it's confirmed with the purchase of my Eurostar tickets. So so so excited!

Rifle Paper Co. cities calendar

How absolutely adorable is the Rifle Paper Co. cities calendar? I have no clue where I'd hang a calendar but I really want one! They're available online (shipped from the US for about the same cost as the calendar) or you can might find it in London at Antropologie, one of their stockists.

Orla Kiely and Method

Target is one of my favorite stores on the face of the planet, it might even be my absolute favorite. On our quick trip to Seattle (which we just returned from on Monday) I even found time to pop in just for old times' sake. And I'm absolutely gutted that I didn't pick up any of these Orla Kiely soap dispensers. We have Orla Kiely towels in our bathroom that would have matched perfectly! Hopefully they'll still be around when we return to the US in December for Christmas.
