Beach Blanket Babylon

BBB

After the hustle and bustle of the two hour journey down to London, we'd  worked up an appetite, I for sure felt like I could eat my body weight in food but that could of also been because I had too many vinos the night before!
So a weekend in London wouldn't be the same without a trip to Beach Blanket Babylon situated in the heart of Notting Hill this place is a hidden gem but once there you will not be disappointed!

After a slight detour and photo shoot walking thought Notting Hill I mean it would be rude not to while in the city!
We finally arrived, slightly late for our reservation but never the less the staff where on hand to show us to our table and to offer us a well needed drink, this place is unreal I felt like id gone back in time with the décor being a little out there!
even the front doors where something else if only we had one of these gems up North it would be my second home!

I had to make one of the most important decisions id make that day, what do I get to eat? at this point I could literally eat double my body weight! but I couldn't resist Pancakes... pancakes with flowers may I add, I know right, who do I think I am

Now I don't know if I made a good decisions there as since getting home I have craved pancakes but they just don't live up to Beach Blanket Babylon style so I will 100% be retuning, sooner rather than later I hope!

sketch'ing

Sketch'ing while in London town
I mean it would be rude not to, right?!

Sketch is out of this world AMAZING! pictures just don't seem to give it much justice although it still looks pretty damn good!

So what better way to spend you Saturday evening than with your side kick bestie wining and dining in one of the most instagrammed places in London!

We had an evening reservation in the gallery aka the pink room! we literally felt like we'd gone back in time, the décor was something you could only dream of,
you spent half of the evening in ore of the place just taking it all in!

Dressed to the nine we headed straight to the bar while waiting for our table, it was a Saturday night after all!

Even the menu was out of this word, the attention to detail was fabulous!
I opted for the sketch fish and chips (with a twist) it actually came with no chips! maybe that was the twist? but never the less it was the best fish and none chips I have ever had!







I have seen so many post across social media on how unreal the toilets in this place are, I don't think I have ever been so excited to actually go and witness what all the fuss was about and as expected they lived up to the expectation, I have never gone to the toilets to literally find myself dodging everyone's 'toilet selfie' it was like the norm no one batted an eyelid!

So there you have it Sketch you are one of a kind restaurant and I cant wait to be back in the city so I can try out the other rooms they have to offer!



Ever visiting London then make sure you get that reservation booked in early doors or you could be sadly disappointed this is one popular destination in the city!

Travel Attire


Travel attire
two words that literally makes us flap, here at Off the Peg we had to over come this situation just recently

Ok, so your going away for a weekend its that time of year when you pack for cooler weather so outcomes your winter wardrobe but summer makes an appearance one last time? yeah the struggle is real!
so what do you do, pack everything, just in case! sound familiar? we too are guilty

It's bad enough if its just a weekend away but what if its an occasion, there's your hair, make up, outfit, bags the list is endless how are you suppose to pack lightly!
here's how we got on...

First of we will start with the travel attire

While traveling you want to be comfortable, I mean there is nothing more annoying that being in the tightest pair of pants, yeah they look amazing at first but 2 hours into the journey and your just not feeling them as much, we hear you! so for this weekend we opted for those faux leather pants, but actually they are jeans, sneaky hay! not only do they look good they are super comfy! win, win.
They are all over the high street this season and a must have versatile item you need in your wardrobe, casual chic - evening glamour with just a change of shoes or top!

Shoe wise was a tough one, it wasn't cold enough for boots and trainers looked too casual so we opted for a pair of khaki lace up heeled shoes, these were one of those buys by chance and even better they where in the sale so we just couldn't say no!








With it being in between seasons and the weather not knowing what it's doing deciding on a jacket was harder than it should be! this little gem was a last year find in Zara since purchasing it we have also spotted celebs working the exact same cape!


So there you have it! a versatile wardrobe will save you from the struggle of packing everything you own!
