Quaint, comforting, homely and slightly eccentric, Cath Kidston is instantly recognisable, and one of those brands who feel like they've been around forever. So I was more than a little surprised when I was invited to a party to celebrate their 20th birthday (only 20? Gosh that makes me feel old!).
True
to brand this wasn't just any old beers in a bar kinda shindig; instead we (myself and a gaggle of other fashiony web types) were given the chance to indulge our inner Domestic Goddesses with candle
making and cake decorating (led by East London's very own Queen of Cakes Lily
Vanilli)…all helped (or in my case hindered) along by some utterly delicious, dangerously potent cocktails!
So here are some
pics from the night. Make sure you check out the animated Cath Kidston story
at the bottom, it's utterly charming and uplifting, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
