Cute Kicks...

We heart Converse...it's official everyone needs a pair in their life. 

They're easy, comfy, stylish and oh so versatile! One of the few trends that can be worn year after year and with absolutely anything...mix smart with casual and pair with a pleated midi skirt, rough them up with ripped jeans or your fav denim shorts or take comfort to the max and pop them under your wedding dress...ok the last one isn't your every day look but it's pretty popular right now! 

Finally, the reason they've become wardrobe essentials for both men and women everywhere...the more battered they get the better they look! So what's holding you up...get lacing and break those bad boys in!!

Between the 3BM wardrobes you'll uncover red, navy, white, high tops, wedged versions, lows and even a studded pair! I believe we have most bases covered except for one MAJOR one...Missoni Converse of course!! 

Yes, I know, we need them...there are 6 different styles to pick from in both highs and lows and all of them fabulously zig zagged with Missoni's signature print. AND the best news yet...they won't break the bank, priced from £69.99 to £74.99 - we'd be fools not to invest! They're exclusive to Office, so get down there quick smart before you miss out!!

Take a little peak...

Caffeine Fix: Nespresso Love

We're pleased to report that Mouse Towers, Hong Kong has finally woken up and smelt the Nespresso and is now decked out with it's very own stainless steel Pixie!

The London Mice were well ahead on this one, having picked up their Nespresso machine earlier this year. I was slightly sceptical that a good cup of coffee could be so easy to come by. No grinding beans, no drawn-out brewing, no mess, no fuss - surely it was all too good to be true? Well no actually. Having had my brand new Nespresso baby for a couple of weeks now, I'm just sorry I spent so long fiddling about with Cafetières and drinking sub-standard coffee that costs £4 a cup... Now all I have to do is pick out a capsule, pop it into my Nespresso machine, flick a switch and decide whether I'm opting for a quick, strong hit of Espresso or a more leisurely lungo.

The only downside for me is that as a very indecisive girl, the array of capsules to choose between, particularly first thing in the morning, can be a little overwhelming. I'm slowly narrowing it down to a few favs - the green Fortissio is a definite contender for top of the pods and the Linizio Lungo, Middle Mouse's pick, is also right up there. 

But it seems that I jumped on the bandwagon at just the right moment because last week Nespresso added three new capsules to their coffee collection. Previously released as limited edition capsules, the Vanillo, Ciocattino and Caramelito capsules are back by popular demand and are happily here to stay this time! I popped down to the Nespresso boutique in IFC this week to try them out and it was love at first sip! Drink them straight for a fragrant coffee with a hint of vanilla, caramel or dark chocolate or add cream and sugar for a much richer, fuller flavour. I'm head over heels for the Vanillo (I've already had one fix this morning and my second is imminent...).

So, coffee machine sorted.

Most delicious capsules identified.

All that remains is to bag myself some pretty china to sip my caffeine from in the mornings. I'm thinking something bright, zingy and guaranteed to brighten up even the murkiest morning. What better then, than a little pop of Missoni? I happened to stumble across these Missoni for Target mugs and espresso cups while browsing for books on Amazon. They may well be so several seasons ago (Target were selling these way back in 2011), but those Missoni stripes never go out of style and at these prices, how can you say no?!

This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been...

Well this week has mostly been all about MINI MOUSE! Incase you missed it she turned the grand old age of 27 on Monday and has managed to stretch out her birthday celebrations for as long as humanly possible. She has been showered with the most gorgeous presents including the scrumptious Tom Ford Neroli Portofino body oil, limited edition Missoni Havaianas and Iosselliani amazing stacking rings to name a few...

She was also lucky enough to receive a pair of the most recent must-have Zara ankle boots embellished with a smattering of rock star gold studs. They were actually featured in this weeks Stylist magazine so no doubt they will sell out quick sharp! Check them out below - lush or what...

So what else have we been up to? This week the Mice have mostly been...


Fully immersed in all things Olympics. What a week for GB - 5 golds, 6 silvers and 4 bronze so far and still a week of competing to go! I have to say I wasn't overly fussed or excited in the run up to the Olympics (bad Brit) and as a result didn't purchase any tickets, a decision I now greatly regret. So now i'm having to live it through my TV and sifting through imagery shared online. Saying that, there has been some seriously fantastic photography showcased online, especially through the Telegraph and Independent, see some of my Olympic favs below...

Stuffing our faces at East London's Brawn restaurant on Columbia Road. A real mish mash of top notch food ... perfectly cooked quails eggs, hand chopped Tuscan beef, and popping purple beetroot with toasted cumin and creme fraiche - superb! My only word of warning is to steer clear of the pig's trotter, it resembled a plate of wobbling animal fat jelly - yuk!
