Nice #instapost

Spontaneity in anyone's life is key. Life would just be plain old boring without it. The thrill of the unknown and opportunity for anything to happen is completely exhilarating. 

I'd been whining about not going away this summer because I'm heading back to New York in September but after catching wind of my friends travelling around Europe and were planning on staying in Nice, France for a week, I decided to spontaneously book a flight and go out and join them.

Having only been in Nice for a couple of hours, the lot of us hit the 'free champagne' party where were staying to celebrate the start of this amazing trip. Far too many flutes later we all wondered off into the city to get a taste of the local nightlife. Wayne's bar was our choice of watering hole, full of touristy bizarre objects from various cities all over the world and with a rather unique wallpaper comprised of number plates from everywhere from Manhattan to Timbuktu. Lest I forget the locals. Goodness gracious me. I don't know what it is about French guys, whether is the slightly broken English accent or the dishevelled swept back hair  but keep on eating those croissants and frogs legs guys as its seriously working for ya.

Got a big day ahead of us today. We're heading off to Nice Old Town so no doubt I'm going to get ridiculously snappy happy (follow me on Instagram @georgiabenj for updates) . And go on. Go and do something spontaneous today. Trust me, you'll love it.

Shake Shack London

Have you heard the news?! Its all over town! My favourite burger bar has hit down in London town and has at last graced us with it's gourmet presence. 

Ever since hearing the news that Shake Shack was coming to London a few months back, it was instantly marked in my calendar and I have been counting down the days till the grand unveiling. After being a regular back in New York and craving the delectable Cheese Fries on a dangerously regular basis (click here to read the original post), I just had to see for myself if they were equally as good over the pond. 

Following a huge opening shin-dig on July 4th (a rather appropriate day to launch if you ask me), I decided to wait a couple of days in hope that the insatiable queue might die down before revisiting my American true-love in my own home town of London.

For some reason - unbeknown to me - word got around the queue that I was some what of a regular at this ol'burger bar. Every Tom, Dick and Harry looked to me for guidance on the extensive and rather enticing menu. After acting like some uber keen brand spokesperson and knowing far too much about Shake Shack after being in the UK for only a few days, I correctly matched everyone up with their perfect meal, acting rather shamelessly as some sort of Shake Shack Yoda.

Much to my surprise the snaking line went delightfully fast and I was absolutely buzzing when I got into the restaurant that I had been pining for, for almost a year.

Buzz-buzz-buzzing! Geddit?!

The Cheshire Cat-esque grin didn't leave Geneva or my faces all evening as we delved into our Shack burgers, cheese fries and concretes. 

Just look at that tray of beauty!

Say hello to this little number. Be warned, this is not for those with small appetites. The Shack Stack is comprised of everything that I adore about this American burger bar. A signature cheeseburger layer with a deep fried cheese filled Portobello mushroom, more formally known as a Shroom Burger, topped off with signature ShackSauce. Gaaawwwhhhhhh I want another one now!

Oh and the cheese fries, literally the best fries in the entire world. Like ever. I dare you to find better. Double dare ya.

This ear to ear grin is still on my face just thinking of the epic experience and I'm already planning my return visit. Two Shake Shack's in one week you ask? Yes. Well it's seriously that good! 

London's very own Shake Shack can be found a mere 2 minutes walk from Covent Garden Station in the heart of the iconic Piazza Market;

And just to warn ya. Be prepared to queue. It sure is worth it.

Sundays are the perfect occasion to do absolutely nothing, which is exactly what I've done a whole lot of today. Catching up on some of my favourite blogs, showing off my new designs on social media platforms and coming up with some styling ideas for my new range of limited editions t-shirts whilst having a massive movie day snuggled under a duvet on the sofa. A pretty perfect Sunday if you ask me. After my first load of tee's (click here) proved to be pretty damn popular all over the world, sending off packages left right and centre, I decided to come up with a new collection of limited edition pieces, which have just hit my online store today (click here). Polyvore is my favourite site for outfit building and styling inspiration, so where better to show off my new pieces? Check out the rest of my sets on Polyvore (click here).
