NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL


Notting Hill carnival weekend!
It's been about 5 years since I last went to one, all I vaguely remembered was lots of booty shaking and chocolate covered people.

Filled up with some breakfast round the corner...

Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon

Morning coffee

Good morning world x

Passed by this old man and his faithful buddy on his shoulders sharing a pint of beer! Doesn't this just make you go awww...

awww *hearts*

Here's some more photos I snapped along the way...

Pina colada

The crowd waiting for the floats to go by










Having jerk chicken with rice and coleslaw for lunch!


Street party

And here's a short (extremely shaky) video I took when I was on Mike's shoulders!

Despite the muddy, chocolatey mess I was surrounded with I came out unscathed and clean in my plain white top! Until I dribbled some of my Nero mocha down my chin...(doh!) 

We ended up having dinner in Chinatown at Wong Kei (Wonky!) supposedly a cheap and happy place...
Until Mike spotted a rat scurrying below the tables...and we had to wait 30 minutes or more for our below average food...served by a grouchy looking waiter lol...
Obviously being Malaysian, it is 'normal' for me to see scurrying rats...though I don't think Mike was too impressed!
I don't think we'll be heading back again anytime soon!

It was 'Children's Day' at the carnival on Sunday, so I'm guessing Monday's going to be crazier..and wetter...good luck people ha!
BBC Weather NEVER lies...well at least this time it won't ;)

OUTFIT POST: SPORT LUXE

So...it's been quite a while since I did an outfit post!

This is what I wore today:






Top: H&M / Trousers: Zara / Bag: Zara / Wedge trainers: See by Chloe / Bracelets: Forever 21 / 
Earrings: New Look
 

Just shopped for some staple white tops in town and had a healthy bowl of Vegetable Dumpling noodles at Itsu.
 
The weather has been pretty temperamental today - took shelter for a while at Forever 21 with the rest of the crowd before deciding to just dash out into the rain under my pink umbrella, skipping over puddles and trying hard not to get my new shoes drenched! 
Coincidentally, there was also a heavy downpour when I first wore my DKNY wedge trainers out, this must be some kind of 'shoe christening' ...

Due to the weather my day out has been short-lived, so I've just been chilling at home, tapping away mindlessly on the Vue Cinema Brave Competition...and other productive things of course! Like checking Twitter...ha!
As I patiently wait for someone to arrive...got my bottle of rose ready and chilled in the fridge x

Fingers crossed that tomorrow will bring some better weather! 
Notting Hill Carnival baby!
