Spitalfields market and the Breakfast club

Hello there readers. I thought I'd share a snippet of my life with you today, about this time last week I went to Spitalfields market with two of my closest friends and we had a really lovely time, and then went back to my friend's house for an 80s films themed sleepover so it was a lot of fun!

To kick start the day, we went to The Breakfast Club in Spitalfields.

No word of a lie, these were the best pancakes I've ever had. Ever since my holiday to the USA last year, I have been missing IHOP a lot especially when eating English pancakes and realising how ours don't even compare, but these may be even better than IHOP.

The Breakfast Club was full of notes from previous customers and random bits and bobs like concert tickets from people who had seen concerts in that area.

After stuffing ourselves, we went off to the market and the cute shops around it.


There was this shop selling vintage homeware and I couldn't not take a couple of snaps!

After buying a thing or two in Spitalfields, we made our way over to Brick Lane where we didn't buy anything but we did stop for a Starbucks - my first ever Starbucks, I feel like I've been truly accepted into the hipster lifestyle (don't worry I am being ironic)


After having a Starbucks and a nice sit down, we hopped on a bus and went to Oxford street mostly just for the Disney store and Selfridges - we found ourselves very overcome with emotion in the Disney store, I have no shame whatsoever. When we were finished on Oxford Street, we made our way back to my friend's house for some baking and 80s movies!!!

Can't talk about baking without a bit of food porn eh? This is the cookie dough we made for the slutty brownies!

This is the slutty brownies before they went into the oven (if you want a recipe post for this please comment down below and I'll make them again!)

The finished results.. believe me, the pictures do not do the brownies justice. I think I've only just started living since trying slutty brownies, and I think my friends are still a bit freaked out by the things I said I would do to this brownie..

Of course just slutty brownies wasn't enough, so we made two other types of cookies. This dough turned into delicious nutella cookies.

The recipe for these nutella cookies can be found here.
Top tip: eat these while they're hot, they're much tastier hot and soft!

My mouth is watering just remembering these chocolatey delights, of course that wasn't enough so we made BISCUITCEPTION (see below)

This is biscuitception a.k.a cookies with chocolate fingers inside, these were the softest cookies I've ever tried - it's like a cookie mixed with a cake!

We spent the rest of the night and the rest of the next day watching 80s films such as Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, E.T, Big, and The Goonies. I might as well say that 80s films are my absolute favourite films, we did plan for more but we didn't have time so we will definitely be doing another one at some point in the future.

We also managed to do a face mask in between and order pizza which was great.

Thanks for reading this lifestyle post!
