Who doesn't love a good wall? This one is a pretty darn good example, and is located in South West London, just a stone's throw from Jazmine's, where Olivia and I went for a sleepover this weekend. Within minutes of arriving in Clapham, we found ourselves warmed by a good ol' cup of tea (in a Cath Kidston mug, no less!), and having a natter about what's happened since we all met up in Liverpool. Jazmine's room is a little haven away from the hustle and bustle of London life, and left me feeling very sorry for the white walls of my student room, as hers are adorned with images of Audrey and wonderful illustrations by the very talented Ella and Jaymie. Dancing around in my new Shelikes pinafore (sorry, I'm still not a complete convert to the pinny trend, I'm convinced that they just don't suit me) to Beyonce left me with no alternative title for this post. We're well on our way to learning the single ladies dance too...

Outside of the boudoir, we spent our weekend wandering round Battersea, which included a trip to the beautiful Battersea Flower Station (you will definitely see more of this in a post to come), and a stop off at Il Molino on Battersea Park Road for a spot of rhubarb cake, which now comes highly recommended from the three of us! I've never really explored the SW postcode before, so it was a treat to be guided round by a real expert. I do love to find out about new areas of London, as there are only so many times that you can walk up and down Brick Lane! Are there any parts that you think are the best? I'm determined to make the most of the capital whenever I'm in the South, so would love to hear any and all recommendations.
