Hair by Sam McKnight

sometimes, when you've eaten a little too much brunch,
it's advisable to have a cheeky walk afterwards.
And while parks and shopping are both great options
sometimes you just can't go wrong with an art exhibition...

so we popped along to Somerset House to check out:
HAIR by Sam McKnight (fyi he's one of the best hair session stylists around!)

Cafe Miami

Brunch is a staple meal of the day for all strawberries,
which means we're always on the lookout for new spots to try.
So when a super cute & pastel place kept popping up on our instagram feeds,
obvs we just had to investigate...
(after taking a few cheeky outfit pics) we hopped on the overground to Hackney.

if there's an award for cutest cafe - i'm totally going to nominate Cafe Miami
AND the food was insanely good too.
basically if you like brunch (and who doesn't like brunch?!) then you need to pop along here ASAP.
but be warned: get there for opening at 10am on the weekend - it fills up quick!

we learnt that there's been a shift in influencers wanting to take their own photos
rather than using photographers
including the likes of Rihanna 
(although even she has to take 100+ selfies to get the right one!)
