Dress Down Khaki.

Yesterday I had the afternoon off work and my boyfriend’s family where down from Manchester. It was so nice to see them again, we met them for lunch in Kensington after some london site seeing we then got the river boat down the Thames to Cutty Sark for some delicious ice cream from Black Vanilla. It was such a lovely afternoon and the perfect start to the weekend.

I wanted something comfy and casual to wear so I paired a simple khaki cami from Newlook with Black rolled up Topshop Jeans, Asos leather sling back sandals, Newlook sunnies and my Pulsar watch.

I really love these sunglasses. I picked them up yesterday after my old ones cracked. I never buy expensive sunglasses because I am forever loosing them, sitting on them or dropping and cracking them. These cost £3 in the Newlook sale. They are a simple black frame with black lenses, with a quilted texture on the arms and a grey inner frame. A steel for the price.

Black Vanilla.

So many flavours. So many colours- And you get to taste them all before you commit to a scoop. Black Vanilla has won 9 ‘great taste’ awards and its no wonder as their wide range of gelatos are made with such fresh ingredients they are simple and deliciously perfect bring Italian charm to Greenwich town centre.

Our beautiful Greenwich store is our headquarters and our pride and joy, with its sunny garden, stunning champagne gallery and gelato counter serving 36 flavours of fresh gelato made downstairs by our talented gelato chefs. Whether you are popping in for a tasty gelato treat, coming by for a coffee break with views of the Cutty Sark, or hosting your party in our gorgeous gallery with sorbetto cocktails and champagne, our Greenwich store has it all. Come in and say hello to our team, who will help you create the perfect flavour combination for your delicious frozen treat.

For me fruit always wins, so refreshing and you feel more healthy- well as healthy as you can whilst eating ice cream. For me Pink Grapefruit hit just the spot it was delicate and such a pretty baby pink.

Whether you want to grab a scoop and walk down to the river or sit in with a coffee or maybe even try a cheeky gelato cocktail with the girls black vanilla is such a lovely spot. If like me you can’t get enough of their ice cream and want to always keep some handy in the freezer then you can order their range from Ocado.com
