Goose & Button Have a Relaxing Day!

Our DEEPEST apologies for not posting in ages! Yeah sorry about that, I'm just not used to having much internet responsibility.

There really is no excuse except sheer laziness! 

Aslan has been working quite a bit lately and I (Estée) am trying to tie up all of the loose ends from Uni!

Today we decided to keep things quite low key which is our favourite thing to do. Seriously, low key is the way forward. If you're idea of a great day off ends starts with shopping and then ends with clubbing then we cannot be friends. On the other hand if you like to browse, drink tea and watch useless TV then we can talk!

We started off the day VERY slowly. 

Woke up at around 10AM & browsed the internet in bed & chatted about nothing for awhile.

Just look at those worn keys, oh yeah.

THEN I forced Aslan to go down to the kitchen & get me my favourite sweet snack of the moment!

(Belgian waffles! They have big chunks of sugar inside MmMmMm!)

There was also a nice old cup of tea, but I managed to spill it all over the bed. WOOPS! I got mad, I dont know even why because it wasn't even that bad. Nothing a little asswipe (as Estée's Mum calls it) couldn't fix.

Eventually, we both knew it was time to wake up & get crackin'.

I had a nice long shower, dried my hair & put a little makeup on!
One thing to mention about a shower though is that it doesn't have a great air flow so its always fun finding the right balance between an unenjoyable short drench or everything is dripping with condensation. 

Our room is VERY messy at the moment.

My makeup table is always in complete disarray & I couldn't take it anymore!

QUICK little tidy & I felt a bit better!

It may still look cluttered, but at least I know where everything is!

Gotta love NEOM candles, too (this one's rose)!

If you want to see some of my rose-scented products, click here!

Quick little shot of my outfit!

Nothing special, but I got the cardigan from Monki (I really like it!) in Amsterdam awhile ago.

Have you ever read our post about Amsterdam? It's actually on my beauty blog, so if you want to see more about that crazy trip CLICK HERE!

Here's Aslan (Goose) looking gorgeous!

He was starving & that's a good thing because we were headed to a delicious Italian restaurant called Pellicano which is in Chealsea. RITZY!

His mum's treat of course! 

Tried to do a full outfit shot, but failed miserably. 

LOOK! You can see our bathroom (aka the condensation station)! 

Here's Aslan peering over at someone on the tube.

I have no idea what he's looking at, but he seems quite unimpressed. Bloody tourists.

I absolutely LOVE his shoes/boots! They're from COS I believe!

We met up with Aslans mum & sister & took a stroll into my new favourite store called Heal's!

I've never heard of this place, but there is some AWESOME stuff in there!

Oh, what it must feel like to have an unlimited cash supply!!

Here I am doing a fox/skunk face. So cute!

Then we headed off to the movies! We saw Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. 

Not my personal favourite, but everyone else seemed to like it.

We walked a little down the road from Heal's and went to the Curzon Cinema which is nice as it makes a change from the ODEON/Cineworld chains, the Chelsea Curzon has a nice screening room that has a sort of nostalgic grandness about it. Reminds me of wide cut suits, skinny ties, smoking inside and women wearing bright red lipstick. 

The movie was directed by a Turkish director named Nuri Bilge Ceylan who has made some great art-house films. The film was pretty good, but it is definitely not something you should watch expecting a neat story or something easily accessible. It is a story about how a murder investigation unfolds over one night; nothing really happens, yet it makes you think about almost everything. 

& that's it! That was our day!

Waited at the tube station for a few minutes & we were on our way back to the comfort of our bedroom!

Nothing TOO interesting, but a lot of you have been on my case about posting! 

Yeah sorry about that ladies and gents, will try to make more of an active effort from now.

Goose & Button Watch Lady & the Tramp! (Date 2)

I am a lover of Disney movies-who isn't!?

BUT Aslan was absolutely appalled to find out that I'd never seen Lady & the Tramp!

I've also never seen Star Wars, Lord of the Rings etc. but that is NEVER going to happen!

Anyway, we decided that for this weeks date, we just wanted to stay in! 

I'm the LADY!

& Aslan is the TRAMP (obviously)...

I love our little set-up!

Aslan has to hook up his laptop to the giant computer monitor 

(something I can't for the life of me figure out).

We get the fan blowing & get snuggled in.

I LOVE watching movies!

AH! A SEA MONSTER!

Oh wait, that's just me.

Decided to finish off the date, I'd arouse Aslan with a blueberry LUSH face mask.

He wasn't too pleased when I made him go get it from the fridge.

& yes, I'm wearing one of my Gramma's nightgowns.

Bow chicka wow woooowwww! 

;)

Goose & Button Go to the Museum! (Date 1)

Hello!

So Aslan and I are doing this new thing where each week we're going to make it a point to go on a date!

(AWW)

Last year, we were both a tad too homebound & mutually decided we needed to make a change!

The dates are going to be all sorts of things!

(preferably free, but occasionally we'll part with some loose change).

We are also starting another thing. Everything written likes this is done by me (Estée). And everything written in italics is done by me (Aslan), just to save everyone the confusion and the fact that I hate referring to myself in the third person. Anyway, lets get on with the romance shall we:

This week, we went to TATE Britain.

Me trying to be CUTE in the underground. I even curled my hair!

To see my full outfit of the day, take a look here! She looked really nice that day, in fact I felt bad because I made no effort whatsoever, and when I say that i am not being modest (I wore drainpipe brown trousers). 

Nearly there! The tube station in Pimlico is decorated appropriately which is always nice to see. There is not enough variety on the underground.

Dr. Seuss trees. The tree surgeon had a field day, it did make them look like ents though.

Here you have it! TATE Britain!

This was my first time there! 

To be honest, I don't really "get" art in the same way others do.

BUT-when I see something I like, it really speaks to me.

I really love TATE Modern, so I was a bit worried I wouldn't like this one as much! Turns out I do!
It always seems like TATE Britain is always overshadowed by its bigger sibling, but to be honest it is much more pleasant (fewer groups of loud european students!), approachable (different art from different periods means there is something for everyone) and smaller (your feet will be much happier).

Aslan can't seem to resist concave mirrors.

I love taking pictures of people in meseums/art galleries.    

Quite the chandelier. 

For some reason I was really drawn to this. 

It kept flashing on and off in an artistic manner.

Lord knows what it's meant to represent, but it was nice.
I think this actually won the Turner prize a while back, and I can remember a lot of people getting in a hissy fit about the most coveted british modern art prize being awarded for the lights being turned on and off. 

These stairs were quite a nice surprise, usually everything but the art in galleries is clinically white.

Of course, I can't go anywhere without getting hungry!

I casually made my way down to the café & got some designer ready salted crisps.

Whenever Aslan & I go somewhere, he usually gets into some sort of mood where he ends up giving me this face.

APPARENTLY he does it because he's imitating me! 

HOW DARE HE! 

He's just mad because I made him eat the gross, soggy biscuits from the café that cost £5.

That's it!

Date number 1.
