The Teddy Bear Tea Rooms

(These pictures are making me wish I was back in York...)

I have been to the Teddy Bear shop many times when I have been in York, but until recently I didnt know they had a Tea Room upstairs. 

The Tea Room is on 2 floors over three small rooms, Its a very traditional looking place but with a non traditional and modern way of presenting food. As I hadn't been in here before I expected it to be like an old cafe that hasn't updated itself since the 80s - where it would smell of bake potatoes and have a variety of odd sandwiches.

I was overly impressed with everything.

I opted for a gingerbread hot chocolate (Which I wish I had in-front of me right now...) and a Toasted Tea cake. The gingerbread  hot chocolate was hands down one of the most amazing hot chocolate I have ever had - I am now obsessed with Gingerbread Hot chocolates.
They have a wide variety of foods and drinks - from a Teddy Bears Picnic to a fancy Victoria sponge cake displayed on a wooden board with cream - Everything is reasonably priced as well.

If you are ever in York I highly recommend the Teddy Bear Tea Rooms.

Lindy Bop Love || OOTD

Lindy bop is a clothing brand I discovered towards the end of  last year and it has become one of my favourites. They are a company specializing in 1950's reproduction clothing and a few accessories - I own two dresses and a skirt (I also can not wait for there new Autumn/ Winter collection to come out), both dresses are the 'Audrey' design - I love the fit of these dresses, the length and they have a perfect skirt to make a huge circle when you spin around. If you know me then you will know how much I love vintage things - especially the 1940s to 60's. When it comes to vintage clothing I always find pieces I love but are never in my size, So I love brands that produce reproduction clothing.

On Sunday me and my brother visited the National Railway Museum in York for probably the 20th time - every time we are in York we seem to visit it even though hardly anything changes.
