Afternoon Tea at Dior || The new AW23 Dior TOUJOURS bag

There is no shopping experience quite like Dior, and it turns out there is no experience quite like dining at Dior while shopping at Dior! I was invited to Dior at Selfridges, Manchester for afternoon tea a few weekends ago to check out the new AW23 arrivals but before we even start on the new bags I loved, can we just admire the Dior Maison crockery, cutlery and glassware! 

The teacup and saucer was a work of art in itself! I've been documenting on my insta about the current need for a new mug for my studio . . . 

On to the bags, I've got my eye on two different designs . . . both black . . . god forbid I wear colour 

Teacup and saucer of dreams!

I am very much loving the Dior Cara with gunmetal hardware, not new for AW23 but it would like to be a new part of my wardrobe

This new bag is called the Toujours bag, it comes in a few very autumnal colours too that stole my heart a little!

The 5 best places to Eat, Drink and shop in Abersoch

Abersoch is a place we've been going to for years and years, from young teens pouring out of random night clubs in Pwllheli to now taking our baby boy Arthur to the picturesque beaches. It's a place we'll forever come back to create memories.

The town centre itself is teeny tiny but it's full of amazing restaurants, cafes and shops. There are too many to name in the one post but here are a few we visit loads along with a few pics from our last trip.

The best bay in Rhodes || Lindos - Where to eat with a view of the ocean

I'm going to be honest, the food at the hotel we stayed at in Rhodes was not great food wise. Even though we were all inclusive, we ended up venturing out for nearly all our meals because we were in Greece and wanted to taste what the country had to offer. The help from the staff at the hotel was poor, actually it was just crap. We headed out of the hotel grounds to find that on our doorstep (would you believe) was plenty of restaurants with absolutely drop dead gorgeous food! 

So to make light of the situation, here is one of the seriously scenic and BEYOND tasty dining experiences we enjoyed. If you stay in Rhodes and are near Lindos, head to 

Tambakio. You can hire a boujee sun bed from them along the bay while enjoying waiter service or head over to their restaurant overlooking the cove. It was out of this world. We dined under parasols with sand beneath our feet. The cocktails were made exceptionally well and the waiter explained which drinks best suited the meal. We were in heaven!

After eating, we walked up to Lindos town centre. A beautiful higgledy piggledy labyrinth of traditional shops and even more fabulous restaurants. One being a roof top experience that will forever be in my heart as it was Arthurs first roof top fine dining experience!
