OOTD: Birthday Business in Brighton!

A couple weekends a go we headed down to Brighton to help our friend Sarah celebrate her 24th birthday. I love going to Brighton it's always really fun and if you go to the non-commercial clubs (I'm looking at you Oceana!) then you might be surprised at how good the independent clubs are.

For dinner we went to Donatello's that is an ace Italian restaurant that's really cheap too, I had tagliatelle with spinach and bacon in an amazing sauce. I'm not usually a pasta person, but this was so gooooooooood. After we went to our fave bar that we ALWAYS go to, called The Mesmerist, it's like a 1940s bar with the best cocktails. And then we went to a club called The Tube which is right on the seafront and under the arches- great success!

Leather Jacket- Topshop £90 (half price in the sales!)    Shirt- Wallis £33    Shorts- Sparkle & Fade at Urban Outfitters £20ish    Creepers- Underground £89

I don't usually shop at Wallis, but I really like this shirt, it's like a sheer material with a gold paisley print on it. It's pretty loose fitting which looks good leggings/jeans etc, but I tied a knot in the front so you could see my sparkly shorts :P

Has anyone else been out in Brighton? Where do you like to go? I'd love to try new places where I'm there next :D

OOTD: Big Night Out!

On Saturday it was one of my best friends Becca's 24th Birthday Night Out, we were all quite excited as every year for her birthday we always seem to end up going to one of our old pre-university haunts, and this year was no exception. The nearby town Hertford was our destination, when we were 18 we all used to head there on a Thursday night, have a wicked time and then have to go to school horribly hungover on Friday!

Now we are older we have upgraded to Saturday nights (over 21's only!) and it was nice to be out without lots of young'uns and there wasn't the chance an 18 year old might try and chat you up!

Here's what I wore:

Top- Next (old)    Bralet- Marks & Spencers (old)    Skirt- Ebay £11.99    Socks- Topshop £3.50    Creepers- Underground £89

We tied up my top into a crop top because tucked in it kept bulging out and annoying me so much, thanks to Hannah for helping me with this genius idea!

Standard going out makeup for me- Flicks on the eyelids, silver eyeliner around the corners and lashings of black mascara! 

I used Collection 2000 Cream Puff Lip Colour on my lips, I love it so much. I swear I use it on every night out I go on. It just lasts so long and I have a tiny obsession with things looking matte haha!

We had a hilarious night and it was topped off by a trip to our old favourite kebab shop Mid-West for some dirty food!

Hope you all had fab weekends (and start to the week!)

OOTN- Weekend Of Fun!

This past weekend has been uber busy with lots of friends coming up to visit and an amazing end of university party! I lived with Verity for 3 years at university, lived next door to Megan for 2 years and had lectures with Alice. We didn't get home till 6am on Sunday morning and I still feel tired today haha, but I've had such a great weekend and Verity is only going home this eve!

I decided to wear my new playsuit from this post, and I just paired it with white lace ankle socks and my ever faithful vans. Alice styled my hair, I wish I could do it curly :( it looks so cool!

Collection of food & drink for the night!

As you can see Megan was on crutches after having a piece of glass removed from her foot. But she still wore heels (on one foot anyway)- that's dedication!

P.S. I also brought a shed load of jewellery while out shopping with my pal Verity, so look out for a post just about that haha!

AWOL

Sorry for my absence again this week! It was the last week of uni before the Easter holidays, so I have been handing in assignments and having last minute meetings with my dissertation tutor! So I haven't really got much exciting to blog about...

I have a random outfit of what I wore on Friday night when the boyf and I went to a friends birthday night out. I brought the shirts at the last minute that day from Primark for £10, which I think is pretty decent as the beading on the collar is really cute. Oh and it's sleeveless too, so perfect for the upcoming spring/summer nights (hopefully!).

Shorts- Ragged Priest

Shirt- Primark

Cardigan- Dorothy Perkins

Shoes- Vans

But never fear I have an exciting blog post coming up later this week, involving something all girls love- SHOES!!! :D
