Why go out for coffee when you can go out for cupcakes? It’s a particularly appropriate way to reunite with my fellow Blogcademy graduates (Blogcadets), especially when we match our cupcakes to our clothes in Blogcademy blue.
While I’m moving to South-west London this autumn, Carrie (California Love Letters) has just moved away, but we had time to meet up before her departure, and said meeting included my first visit to Sweet Revenge. I think my expression captures the name of the bakery, don’t you think?
Not long after, Blogcadets flocked to Oxford for a day trip (Jo | Fe-line Women, Anita | Trawler Girl, Sofia | Sofia Bianca, Lucy | Lucy J Loves, and Georgina | Ruby Wedding Design) which included a trip to the vintage and wedding fair. Sofia and I sampled micro-cakes, and while she was patient enough to wait until I got a perfect photo of her, I ate my vanilla cupcake before such evidence could be made…
34. 90’s music
36. de-cluttering my room as I pack up my things
37. going to the library to do blog work rather than English degree work
38. watching highlights from the Tony Awards (Matilda!)
39. tea first thing in the morning
40. rock climbing callouses

43. water in a jug with mint leaves or lime wedges
44. finding the perfect gift for a friend
45. the twice daily perfected ritual of washing my face
46. anything illuminated by candlelight
cupcakes, sprinkles, and dainty plates,
