Strawberry Snaps: September

september means the start of autumn
and what better way to celebrate the beginning of the best season of the year
(at least in beth's opinion) 
than with a champagne brunch, a trip to the zoo, popping to friendsfest
and (as usual) eating a whole heap of pizza...

Harry Potter Play & Cocktails

well first off we'll #keepthesecrets
because J.K. is totes our no.1 gal
but we were filled to the brim with as much harry p excitement
as when we were queuing up to buy the books at midnight

we were lucky enough to go to the previews, the day before the official launch -
we mean we haven't stopped obsessing over it since!

the play literally is the best most magical thing we've ever seen
EVER
(yay for irl magic)
