Life's peach

Well... at least for a good afternoon tea at Eteaket anyway.
It was such a lovely day in Edinburgh I somehow need to rest my eyes and my legs for a cup tea and a good place to sit down. And this particular tea shop offer the most moist and sweetest carrot cake I've ever had along with many types of teas with excellent health benefit or simply teas that matches the mood that you're in that day.
The turquoise and white themed tea cafe was suggested by a very nice lady who owned Kakao boutique that's hidden away in Edinburgh best kept secret Thistle Street.

The boutique was cleverly edited with beautiful pieces that ranges from quality pieces by local accessories designer, basic organic pieces, and classic pretty silhouettes from Scandinavian label.
With such a friendly and knowledgeable personal service directly by the owner of the shop I feel that the shop is just one of those rare and great places to find something for everyone (female) and no doubt will make you want to come back season after season.

Before heading to Raphael to Renoir exhibition at National galleries of Scotland I snapped a colourful looking boy at the 40,000 sq ft Topshop in Princess Street.


Going up the stairs towards Edinburgh Castle and on my way toward Victoria Street via little alleyways, felt like going back through medival times for a couple of seconds when you looked at the architecture details of the city.
The evening finishes with a 'September Issue' by R.J Cutler and a sunset over North Bridge whilst waiting for the last bus towards home.

24 hour date with London

Living in a place that's totally the opposite of a big city makes you really appreciate the details of what's going on around you. So here's what I could squeeze during the speed dating visit with an amazing city called London.

Invited by amazing new friend, I start the day with a cup tea at the roof of Last.fm office and enjoy the view of Old street scenery.

Whilst waiting in South Kensington station I saw a really summery dressed girl who were also (seemed to be) waiting and standing still out of so many people rushing back and forward and stands out from the crowd.
A friend that were supposed to meet me at 12 dot pm were stuck in a hot traffic jam. So I walked around the area and had a quick bite of Smushi at Madsen, a rather friendly and clean Scandinavian restaurant.

Once my friend arrived we had super filling slice of cake and cupcake from The Hummingbird Bakery. To burn off the highly content sugar we walked a little towards the V&A museum to see Future collection from MA Fashion 2008 graduate of RCA.
In the aim of sitting down in a shaded area of some park. We managed to stopped by at 2009 Postgraduate show of Royal College of Art and saw some really impressive work of art, jewellery, and photography.
My favourite one was by Ioanna Gouma, Gediminas Vysniauskas and sharon Green.

As much as me and my friend wanted to lay around in the grass under the shade at Kensington Garden.
We pulled our lazy bum up and off we went to another exhibition in Royal Academy to see a very exciting work collection by Kuniyoshi.
For some reason the heat seems to be twice as hot as the actual temperature, so we cooled ourself down and picked up some sugar craving macaroons at Laduree which is just 2 minutes walk from the gallery.


After the usually clothes scavanging along Regent Street high street and headache trip to Topshop mecca we recharged our battery at this really big portion, friendly, quite, and super delicious chinese restaurant in Gourmet Garden at 35 Great Portland Street (used to be buffet apparantly).

Before the end of a fantastic evening, the last rendevous was quick dinner at Mexicali and a long digesting session at Curzon cinema to watch Synechdoche, New York by Charlie Kaufman.
