Every Saturday I work in Bordello, a lovely independent lingerie boutique in Shoreditch.
It stocks some of my favourite luxury brands, some huge labels such as Myla, Fifi Chachnil and Damaris/Mimi Holliday and smaller exclusive brands like Mint Siren and Ophelia Fancy. Lingerie temptation at my fingertips!
This Saturday, to celebrate the arrival of new brand 'Ma Mignonnette' we held an afternoon tea party to celebrate, which perked up my 11-7pm shift immensely.

Delicious mini cupcakes with rainbow icing were very addictive, but as they're so tiny surely 5 tiny cupcakes= 1 normal cupcake....so guilt free cake eating! Managed to blag a box to take home with me, which me and the boyf ate for breakfast in bed this morning.
The workmen from the roadworks outside the shop were perked up by having 2 beautiful 'live mannequin' girls lounge about in the window wearing beautiful silk underwear. It definitely caused a bit of a stir on Great Eastern street, double takes happening everytime someone walked past.
As well as the delicious tea and cupcakes, Joom (founder of Ma Miagonette) organised a tarot card reader to come for the afternoon. Having never had my cards/palms/tea leaves read I was very intrigued to hear what the cards had in store for me.......in a nutshell I need to stop over thinking/analysing things and my boyfriend's an emotional marshmellow haha! Who knows whether there's any truth in it but it was definitely an eyeopener and I wouldn't say no to another reading in the future.
After all the excitement of the tea party, I headed off home with my box of cupcakes and a pineapple (don't ask!) to watch Elton John X-factor special.....Rock & Roll! xxx
