A car picked us up in the morning, 9am to be precise. ( I was allowed to take a photographer so I took Amanda). We were then taken to Lanes of London which is a gorgeous hotel just in front of Hyde Park and on the side of Oxford street. We went for sweeter breakfast choices. I had the butter pancakes with berries and cream and Amanda had the waffles with the same toppings. Mmm really craving these right now! So delicious! The hotel itself is so beautiful inside, a lot of marble everywhere, which is the dream for us bloggers! haha. If you want to see more images and info on the place click here.
We then walked over to the River Island styling studio, which was super close, approximately 5mins walk. The studio is inside the store, on the second floor. The store itself is huge, seems like one of the biggest I've ever been in actually. And the studio was incredible. Amazing job with the interior and decorations, everything looked so cosy and beautiful. Basically, the studio is a complementary service for anyone. You literally just book and appointment (there is a few different types) and the stylists can help you choose what you want, what suits you. They can make suggestions etc. To be honest I would have never thought that the service is complementary. I had such a great time, and got help and advise from the lovely stylist Danielle. You can leave everything in the changing room in the studio and go wonder around the store, pick up what you like, and go back whenever. But of course there is a certain time slot you have so you need to be quick! :P I was kindly given £150 to spend in store so I picked a shaggy faux fur coat, wax effect trousers and that gorgeous dusty pink hat.

After shopping it was then time for the afternoon tea at Scoff&Banter tea rooms which is located in the Radisson Blue hotel right outside Debenhams. I was pleasently surprised that they also offer hot food, that's great if you're craving something bigger before your tea. Guys, the atmosphere in this place is incredible. There was a few people there, and it felt so quite, classical music was playing, you almost felt like you should whisper! hehe. It was soo relaxing! We skipped the hot dishes because we were still kind of full from our lunch and couldn't wait to try the Afternoon tea with all the cakes and sandwiches! We chose a lot of things from all different types of scones, to salmon and dill cream cheese bagels. I was most impressed with the scones. I couldn't stop saying 'omg' after every bite! haha they were so delicious, we had them with clotted cream. Yum!! I really fancy it now (it's early morning so would be perfect). The tea of course was incredible too and I enjoyed it even more from these beautiful tea cups. Those are by Bombay Duck if anyone is wondering! :)
