Review: The Breakfast Club

This is becoming quite a reoccurring post in the blogging world isn't it? Well i'm going to jump on The Breakfast Club bandwagon and share my thoughts. MAKE SURE YOU GO RIGHT AWAY. Seriously it's a winner.

A good few months ago my boyfriend requested we try it out for his birthday as we both had a weekday off. Being the perfect girlfriend I am,  I of course agreed. Not just because I was just as eager to stuff my face there. I really do hate queuing for my food and was pleased when we walked straight in at 11am on a Monday morning.

I was giddy as I painstakingly scoured the menu to help me decide what I wanted to eat. After opting for the breakfast burrito and an orange juice I waited patiently while peeping at other customers food with envy. The portion was absolutely huge and I struggled to finish it all. Of course I did as I had to take one for the team but keep this in mind when you order. It filled us up so much that we didn't actually eat anything again until about 7pm when we opted for a Shake Shack.

Nothing gets on my goat more than when restaurants are a bit tight on the filling. The Breakfast Club filled their plates to the brim. My burrito had huge chunks of chorizo, gooey cheese, roasted peppers, scrambled eye and mushrooms rounded off with a delicious spicy pepper sauce. The side dishes of sour cream, salsa and guacamole went down a treat as I gobbled it all down. The fillings all went perfectly together with the chorizo being a personal favourite. My boyfriend plumped for the Huevos Rancheros as his breakfast of choice. I can personally vouch for the cheese filled tortillas - very tasty!

Fill your boots

c/o Geox

There are two things I buy each year winter rolls around. A pair of new boots and a new winter coat. This year I have opted for a gorgeous chocolate brown western-style pair of ankle boots supplied to me very kindly by Geox.

The little stacked heel makes them easy to walk in whilst smartening them up at the same time. This means they are able to multitask and go from day to night in case an impromptu pub trip after work suddenly arises. The boots equally look just as good with a dress or tucked into skinny jeans for the cold autumn/winter months. It really does pay to spend that little extra on a pair of boots - your feet will certainly thank you for the soft buttery leather. There's nothing worse than hobbling to work with a foot full of painful blisters. Plus they will probably last you through multiple seasons if you don't do anything silly with them!

Have you ever tried any footwear from Geox before?

French skincare haul

While I was in Paris I did what any self-respecting blogger did and hunted down the gem that is City Pharma. Cliche? As Elodie, Olivia, Gemma, Kristabel, Lucy, Lauren, Charlotte and I all headed through the mean back streets of Paris, we were ladies on a mission. My, was it worth the trek! I felt like all my Christmas' had came and once and didn't quite know where to look first. It was very busy and overwhelming.

After making a beeline and picking up enough Bioderma to see me through for at least 6 months I hounded Elodie on what other skincare beauties I should lug back to London. I was on the lookout for a clay mask as working in London seems to be playing havoc with my face. It is not my friend at the minute. After evesdropping and hearing Elodie mention the Nuxe lipbalm was a winner I sneaked it into my bag as I was queuing. I hold Olivia fully responsible for the purchase of the red Sephora lip paint. It's not really something I would ever think to look at in a shop - lipstick is the way to my heart. But I saw it on her and decided I needed to own it right that minute. Baaaa someone say sheep?!

Have you ever tried any of these products?
