Dressing For The English Summer

Unfortunately, we've really not had much luck with the weather in England so far. Today marks the official beginning of the summer season and I still haven't been outside without a coat (!!!).

Wearing my floaty floral summer dresses is starting to feel like a distant dream.

No matter the weather dressing well is still important so check out my choice of attire on a grey day.

A little while ago the guys behind the Candy Hero sweet shop sent me a friendly email inviting me over to their store to sample some goodies.

Of course I couldn't say no. Because despite eating really healthy most of the time I totally like

to binge of chocolate and all things sweet at the weekends. I think it's safe to say that no one does sweets and chocolates quite like the Americans. They have numerous combinations of chocolate/peanut butter/caramel goodness most of which can be found at Candy Hero. Their selections of Reese's chocolates is very very impressive, they stock some chocolate bars that I didn't even know existed!

Leeds Feast

On Friday I received what I could only describe as my favourite tweet to date from the guys behind Leeds Feast.
They informed that I won two tickets to the food festival and £50 worth of food and drinks vouchers to spend over the weekend. My day was made there and then!
I very rarely win anything so some part of me didn't fully believe it until, I was handed the passes and the vouchers.

Leeds Food Festival Launch

On Thursday I attended the Leeds Food Festival Launch at Epernay cocktail bar.

I had never been to Epernay before, but after my visit I can definitely say that I've been missing out! The outside/inside seating area in the Electric Press is beautiful and the bar offers a great selection of cocktails.

This week has marked the end of the Leeds Indie Food Festival, and the start of Leeds Food and Drink Festival as part of Leeds Food month. There will be exciting events all across the city - it's a foodies dream!

There we lots of Leeds bloggers in attendance and it was so great to see some of my favourite faces again as well as meet some new girls.

The event was hosted by Epernay with a little helping hand from Almost Famous who provided some really really delicious burgers.

Almost Famous has been on my list of places to eat at for a while, but after tasting their burgers at Thursday's event I will DEFINITELY be paying a visit. Perhaps after pay day next week.

Gabby and the girls Really enjoyed their burgers!
