This
week has been busy for all - HK mouse is freezing half to death in snowy Seoul
whilst Middle and I are starting the Christmas parties and nights out...the
only thing worse than waking up for work is waking up for work with a wine
hangover and remembering those secrets you let slip that you really shouldn't
have..Oh dear!!!
So
when we haven't been jetting around the world or cringing at last night's
activities, this week the Mice have mostly been...
Frantically scouring the Internet, magazines and shops for unusual and quirky
Christmas presents...so far I haven't had too many brainwaves or gasp inducing
discoveries so if you have any gems send then my way!
However in my search I did come across the quirky Tatty
Devine personalised
necklaces. I am going crazy for anything personalised at the moment be it the Monica
Viander engraved Siren pinky
ring I blogged about recently or the Bauble
Bar take on a Carrie
necklace...I love them all! However if those are little out of your budget then
why not check out these Tatty Divine beauties....cool,
bespoke and a little bit of fun!
You get to pick a word up to nine letters, the colour, size,
font, charm and chain colour! When I was trying out the interactive site I
opted for Alice, black glitter, Billboard font, no charm, standard size and a
gold chain. And for £37.50 this is what it looks like....

Perfect Christmas gift,
thoughtful secret Santa or even a little treat for yourself for this festive
season!
Tearing apart our wardrobes...looking for the perfect Christmas night
out get up! If like us you're pretty bored of everything you own and want
something new, festive and a little bit special then you are not alone! Well we
have found a new website which will help with such dilemmas and provide
something that not everyone will have...we all love Zara but you don't want to
be dress twins with the girl from the 4th floor do you?! So we present to
you...London boutiques...a site
which allows you to peruse London's most high end boutiques without having to
swap websites or move from your sofa! What's even better is there's 20% off
Party wear!
You'll find the likes of Trilogy, Austique, Felt and Iris in the
Boutiques section, but if you want to search by Designer there are so many
goodies it'll hurt your eyes...Ash, Acne, Helmut, Victoria Victoria Beckham and
By Malene Birger.
It is literally a treasure trove all all things beautiful be it
books, jewellery, scarves, shoes, dresses...you name and you'll find it here
and for a range of prices also!

Dying a slow alcohol death post Belfast...I was in Belfast
last weekend getting acquainted with my Irish bestie's hometown! It didn't
start well with me missing my flight and forgetting my phone charger - which
meant that when I'd finally landed and switched on my phone to find that I had
a flat battery, meeting up was slightly tricky! And it continued in a pretty
similar vein when we managed to find each other with both of us slipping head
over heel on the icy pavements in front of our boss' boss!
However, when work was done we set about getting further
acquainted with Belfast's much larger than normal spirit measures...! I was
introduced to quite a few places however the best had to be The Spaniard Pub....dark,
effortlessly cool, cosily lit by tonnes of candles and serving up officially
the best Hendricks ever! Huge slices of cucumber, lots of gin and super cheap,
in comparison to London anyway!

My other must do tip is an Irish fry...I was lucky enough to
have mine cooked for me by Kitty's amazing mum however, if you aren't so lucky
you have to go find somewhere that does a good one! The potato bread is
seriously delicious and addictive...believe me once you've tried it you will be
on a mission to have it every weekend forever more! Plus after all the Irish
drinking a bit or carby, fried goodness is definitely the only cure....!!!
And last but by no means least...
Falling a little but more in love...with William and
Kate...We've been staunch supporters from the start and got thoroughly over
excited by the wedding - cue the London Mice hosting a huge British tea party
at London Mice Towers complete with a Union Jack Victoria Sponge cake, Royal
fancy dress theme and lots and lots of Pimms...
While over in Hong Kong, HK Mouse toasted the wedding with Jaeger Bombs at a Best of British party which saw all her expat pals getting their Brit on and going dressed as everything from a jar of Marmite to a pregnant Kate...
Which brings us neatly back to this week's news that a teeny
tiny bundle of Cambridge baby is on its way! We're very pleased to hear that
after a bout of morning sickness which saw her hospitalised, Kate is now back
at Kensington Palace with her feet up. Roll on super chic maternity Kate and
plenty of speculation about the name.
Wonderful news, we're very excited and we're already planning the Royal headwetting parties...

And that's it for this
week!
Happy Friday, hope you all
have great weekends - stay cosy and get some downtime in before festivities
really start to kick into overdrive....
