chic eats : peggy porschen cakes, london.

Nestled in  the sunniest corner in London lies a cupcake parlour by Peggy Porschen painted in the prettiest hue of pink, where beyond glistening glass cabinets are (quite literally) your sweetest dreams awaiting with tufts of soft champagne buttercream and berries upon airy sponge cake of vanilla chiffon,  choc chip, or red velvet...

Much love, Mandy. xx

Photos by my lovely friend Suzie Q during our rendezvous in London (do drop by her blog and send her my love!). <3

This week, the days seem to have tumbled along at such a rapid velocity that I have barely had time to attend to blog matters ... but there has been lovely life decisions, holiday dreaming, and exquisite banana cake involved so there will be plenty to share incipiently! 

On a more sartorial note, I have been utterly smitten with all shades of olive of late and this skirt suit that I found in the quaint cobblestone depths of Le Marais in Paris have been the most utilitarian items in my wardrobe with their perfect Parisian tailoring and their versatile hue. And since I am never one for half-hearted pursuits, I expect this (surprisingly) flattering hue will be permeating the rest of my closet soon...

Hope your week ahead is absolutely dazzling! 

Much love, Mandy. xx

London : {retrospective photo diary}.

Finally, amid the wonderful humdrum that is life, I found a few moments to sift through forgotten images from last year's overseas sojourn to London - little realising at the time that this would be the start of a long, irrevocable love affair with this beautiful city with its abundance of life's most irresistable entities (melliferous afternoon teas, boutiques brimming with laconic London labels, Chelsea flower stalls that stand as purveyors of the most perfect peonies I've ever seen, that gorgeous lilt of the English accent, and of course, the friends that were made along the way)...

Much love, Mandy. xx
