I spent this weekend in Manchester at the hen party weekend of my very beautiful friend Gemma 🙂


14 of us packed into a two bedroom apartment – yes it was chaos for a pyjama party on Friday night. Such a lovely night full of onesies, wine, pizza, silly games and some of my favourite people in the world – what more could a girl need?

On Saturday we went to the MASSIVE boots store in the town centre for makeovers. I was put on the Max Factor counter and asked by the lovely girl what I wanted. Apart from not very ‘orange’ foundation I basically gave her free reign to do what she wanted – to say I was happy with the results in an understatement – I loved it!

Before and After 🙂




For the Saturday night we went for dinner and drinks in the Printworks in Manchester. 

I opted to wear this noughts and crosses from ASOS Curve which I bought a few weeks ago and hadn’t had a chance to wear yet. I loved the pattern and thought it would be the perfect dress for a weekend of celebration.

I have to say – I loved the dress when I wore it, but on reflection, I’m not 100% happy with the style. I think the neck comes out to wide which makes me look much broader than I am. I did love wearing the dress and its a great fit (I sized down from what I normally wear) it’s just the neckline that puts me off!


I had a fabulous weekend though! What did you get up to?

Two posts in one day – you lucky lot! – As you know, on Wednesday evening I attended a bloggers event for Pink Clove. For a few days before I ummed and ahhed over what to wear. With so many fabulous bloggers in attendance, I knew I wanted to make sure that I was 100% happy with my outfit. I also wanted to try and minimize the chance of anyone else wearing the same outfit as me!

In the end I opted for this leopard print gaga dress from Yours Clothing. I have had this dress for ages and so I thought, the chances of someone else wearing it would be minimal.

The event was held at Hush Restaurant in Mayfair, which was really lovely! The setting outside was really nice, walking down a cobbled street into the courtyard was beautiful!

I had a really nice night and the pieces on offer from Pink Clove are lovely – I thoroughly recommend checking them out!

I attended the event with Leighanne from Bump and Beyond and Lucia from U Can’t Wear That. Here we are all dressed up and ready to go, before leaving the house!

What have you been up to this week?

Last night I went out for drinks in Soho and had the usual last minute worry of what to wear. In the end I was really pleased with the simple but pretty outfit I wore, so I thought I would do a rare Outfit Of The Day Post and put it up here for you all to have a nosey at!

Ignore the wonky neckline! Haha

Neckline Fixed!

Spinning Like A Girl In A Brand New Dress

At the weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to the Hen Party of one of my good friends! The original plan was a picnic day in London (with a treasure hunt) and then to go to see a show at Wonderground in Waterloo. Unfortunately the weather put a dampener on our plans – so we ended up having dinner and drinks (what a shame!) in Leicester Square before we went to see the show in Waterloo. If you haven’t been to see LIMBO at Waterloo then I can not recommend it enough! The show was breathtaking and Wonderland is fantastic – really worth a visit!


We also paid a cheeky visit to M and M world in the afternoon too! It wasn’t my idea honest 😉

Ignore the badly posed, selfie style photos – I really need to work out the timer on my camera.
Anyway to go with the theme I wore a set of silver bangles from Primark and a frog sparkly necklace from Love Ur Curves.

Standardise Womens Clothing Sizes – I have blogged a couple of times about the difference in clothing sizes depending on what you buy and where you buy it from. It is OK when you get an idea of how clothing sizes run for you (ASOS are very generous, I find Yours Clothing a little small) but it is a pain!
