Last night Miss Marnie and I went along to the Cath Kidston Safari shopping event. We actually won via Twitter. I had to tweet ‘I want to party on safari with @cathkidston’ #180Piccadilly to win two tickets. So, I tweeted and I won.
The shopping evening was at the flagship store at 180 Piccadilly – a stones throw from The Ritz, The Wolseley (one of my favourite places for breakfast and afternoon tea) and Fortnum & Mason
Miss Marnie and I popped into F&M to kill some time before we headed to the party. We had a browse around the confectionery floor – and it was full of amazing Easter eggs and she was seriously (and literally) like a kid in a candy shop running around, giggling and waving at all the chocolate bunnies!

and, a hamper for my mama! |
Once I could get her out of Fortnum’s we entered the Cath Kidston wilderness to see the hot new safari print. Now if you love Cath Kidston as much as I do it’s exciting when a new print arrives as its a sure fire way to update all your vintage CK pieces.
The new print includes elephants, zebras, lions and my fave giraffes which I first featured HERE on a taupe/sandy coloured background.
After eating some old-school foam banana sweets and delicious handmade meringues from the Meringue Girls we had to tag our 3 favourite items for a chance to win them – it took us a while but we finally settled on these:

And, Miss Marnie’s choice…. Safari sweatshirt £25 (2-8yrs) |
Miss Marnie completely won over the CK team – and even had a little dance in the safari disco! We left the store armed with goodies and after so much fun this was our commute home…

And, what’s more we entered a competition to win a VIP Safari Weekend for 4 people worth £1000 at Woburn Safari Park. So, fingers crossed our competition luck continues…
**You can enter the Safari competition too! You just need to pop into store and fill in the postcard with your details before 27th April 2014.
