Street Feast London - Dalston Yard

Slow roast pork belly from Yum Bun

Bacon cheeseburger from Bleecker Burger

Hey guys!

So yesterday me, my sister and a few of my friends went to Street Feast which is a night food market. It happens every summer and this year they took place in Dalston Yard and Lewisham (Model Market). There were over 16 traders selling different types of food, such as lobster, ribs, burgers, pizza and much more! If there is one thing you should know about me it's my love for food, so when I heard about this I knew I had to go - my bacon cheeseburger was delish!

I had a really great time, the atmosphere was buzzing and the food was amazing! It was a completely new way for me to eat, drink and simply hang out with my friends. It finishes in about two weeks so if you're in London I strongly suggest you try to get yourself to one of these venues and if you can't, there's always next summer xo

The Olympic Torch in Hackney!

Greetings :)
This is a quick post to let you know that my sisters and I were lucky enough to see the Olympic Torch relay go through Hackney yesterday (21/07/2012). It was a really surreal experience, definitely a once in a lifetime one. The last time the Olympics was in London was more than 70 years ago!
There was a point where I was literally running next to the man hoding the Torch. I tried to take a picture, but that didn't work out...

This was the only decent picture I took, but honestly I was just really happy to be there.

Unfortunately none of us have tickets, but one of my sisters was lucky enough to win a raffle and was given a ticket to see the opening ceremony on friday (27/07/2012). We'll all be there with her in spirit!

Like I said this is a quick post, so hope you're all enjoying your weekend! xo

Radio 1's Hackney Weekend - Sunday 24th June 2012

Hi guys!
I'm sure a lot of you know about the festival that took place over the weekend at Hackney Marshes. For those who don't it was Radio 1's Hackney Weekend, a free festival which saw many artists perform over the 2 days. I live literally 10 minutes away from the venue so when I heard about it there was no doubt in my mind that I was gonna go. I've lived in Hackney my whole life and we've never had anything like this, so it was definitely something special.

There were so many amazing artists, some on at the same time so I wasn't able to see everyone but I did see a lot, including:

Tim Westwood
Plan B
Jessie J
Florence + The Machine
Dizzee Rascal (the special guest)
Labrinth
Azealia Banks
Taio Cruz
Rihanna

My favourite performances were Labrinth - who was incredible, he ripped up the stage; Jessie J - who, of course has always been and will always be my baby; Dizzee Rascal - I wasn't expecting him so it was a pleasant surprise, especially when he started playing his old songs; Tim Westwood - an amazing DJ who was playing some bangers; and of course RIHANNA! After seeing her perform I love her even more, she even brought Jay Z on stage :P

Okay, I'm gonna stop talking now and show you the pictures.... :)
