Birthdays in Blackpool

Last weekend me and Lisa went to Blackpool to celebrate her birthday which was lots of fun. I didn't take any proper pictures as i was far too busy dancing most of the time ! but i did take a few photos on my phone that i thought i would share with you.

On Friday morning i decided i wanted something comfy to travel in so i chose my Ax Paris maxi dress and Simply Be denim jacket. I wanted something i could layer up if it was chilly by the sea but that would keep me cool in the car journey.

Brett kindly drove up to Blackpool and we went for fish and chips and a walk by the sea but it was so windy we didn't last long but of course we managed a picture!

We checked into the hotel and started to celebrate with a bottle of wine my mum had given me. I didn't get any pictures of my full outfit but i wore some black New Look shorts and a black and white shirt i got from Evans bout 2 years ago. The shirt is perfect as its a swing style and pretty long so i just wear it like a dress.

Kerry and her bestie came down for the evening so we all went out together and had a great time. We danced for hours and there was lots of laughter!

At the end of the night i decided Lisa needed to open her birthday presents while i took a selfie with my date for the evening Pizza! 

Saturday day when Lisa had started to feel more alive after her hangover we went for a walk around the shops and we found Iron Man and a princess castle to pose in so we were happy!

Saturday night i wore my BooHoo bodysuit and Forever21+ velvet skater skirt, it was a little chilly that night so i was glad for the extra warmth on my arms but a few hours later i was boiling after dancing my bum off on the dance floor!

 And here is me and the birthday girl getting old now just like me!

The Best Nights

Its been a while hasn't it?! Well I'm still here over in this little corner of the internet, things have been super busy recently and i haven't taken a proper outfit picture it what seems like forever but i wanted to do a little post to share my outfit from last Saturday.

I had arranged to go over to Lisa's for a few drinks and a general catch up last Saturday, let me put this out there right now i had no intention of going out at all, i took no make up, jewellery or clothes with me expect for my super old jumpsuit i wear for bed if its cold.
After a few hours of catching up and a good few drink me and Lisa got that feeling, the one where being inside the house just isn't working and you need to go dance your butt off and dance it off we did!
As i didn't have anything to wear Lisa very kindly looked through her vast array of clothes and came up with an absolute beauty!

The dress was one of the 99p ones that Yours did last year and i believe the belt was from Primark. I totally fell in love with this outfit and it was perfect for dancing the night away in, apart from being a little chilly on the way to town i had no complaints.

Lisa very kindly let me use her make up too so that i didn't look like I'd been up for the last 48hrs! I was so in love with this lipstick although i have forgotten which it was now!

Saturday night was totally unplanned but it was one of the best nights I've had in ages, i danced so much my arms hurt the next day and i was even up and dancing on the tables in one place, i haven't done that in years!!

It was an amazing night and i had the best time! Sometimes those totally unplanned and unorganised nights are the best.

Birthday Love

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and i had the best few days! The Mr took me for burgers, shopping and treated me to my favourite fragrance then we relaxed at home which was lovely. A few days after my birthday me and Lisa went to Leeds for some drinks and lots of dancing.

Yes we take all the false lashes!

I wore a Simply Be swing dress I've had for a year or so with some black tights as it was super cold that night, it kept me warm walking to the bars but was a little warm for all the dancing that i did.

As always i had a wonderful night out with Lisa she is a wonderful dance partner and she always has emergency eyelash glue which came in super handy that night trust me!

I also wanted to show you the amazing gifts she gave me for my birthday i was truly spoilt. My birthday card had instructions and a little explanation for each gift it was such a thoughtful touch.

How amazing are the phone cases cats, pizza and burgers the best combos ever. There was other snacks too but i ate them before i even got chance to take these pictures.

Lisa knows how much i love nail polish and these colours are great, the Barry M is a fab two tone purple and bronze.

Lisa made me the glitter photo frame and put a picture of us on a recent night out in there too. The glitter bow is perfection and everyone needs a unicorn clutch right?!

The brooch is so me and the collar clips are amazing i think i might have done a rather large squee when i saw this. 

So a big thank you to Lisa for a fabulous day and for being the best dance partner ever.

XOXO

Party All Night

Here are some more outfits i recreated from Plus North as the only ones that i had taken were mirror shots in the hotel room. On Saturday night we went back to the Plus North venue, where there was music and a surprise evening fashion show. I decided to be comfy as i knew me and Lisa were planning to party hard after the event.

I wore my G21 for Asda over sized shirt which is now much less over sized after washed it (only on 30 by the way!) and my acid wash shorts from New Look.

Me and Lisa had just got to the pub after the event and in walked a Sam,Amanda,Elana and then Kerry. It was so nice to see these lovelies had come out and were in the mood to party. And party we did, although i spent quite a lot of the time on the stage dancing. Lisa thinks i spend so much time up there is because there is mirror behind it and i can see myself! She could very well be correct :)
I had a fab night and i really didn't want it to end, these girls are so lovely and i really enjoyed meeting them and spending the night in their company.

The next outfit was a bit of a spare of the moment choice. When we went for food on Sunday with the Mr, the other girls came too and said they were thinking of going out Sunday night too as their coach back to Scotland wasn't until Monday. So me and Lisa never one to turn down a chance to dance decided to stay another night in Leeds.

And that's how the clothes swap dancing outfit was born. I got these lovely shorts from Emma as she knew how much i love my shorts. The top was from the swap and is a size 24 from New Look, it hadn't been worn and still had the tags on, so a big thanks to whoever brought that.

The top was actually much longer on the night and unless i was stood side on to you, you couldn't actually tell that i had shorts on. This again has shrunk in the wash ( i honestly don't know how i do this to all my clothes) but as it was a little on the big side to start with it hasn't affected the fit at all and i really love it.

We had a great night Sunday too although it was much quieter out than it had been on Saturday but it was lovely to spend more time with everyone i just wish the girls didn't live so far away!

Dancing Partners

A few weeks ago i went out with my favourite lady Lisa to celebrate my birthday. We met up for food and then spent the evening having a few cheeky drinks and doing a lot of dancing. I didn't get any pictures of my outfit before i went out that day as i had a few issues with tights and hair and false eyelashes which meant i was running around like crazy and getting a little stressed that i would be late.

I re created the outfit so you could see what i wore

I really did not dress for the weather is was pretty cold and really windy then half way through the night it started to rain and i don't think it stopped. My feet ended up getting so wet my shoes were leaving wet footprints on the dance floor but it didn't stop me and Lisa having a great time.

I wore my Tesco leopard jacket which you have seen a few times now, my much loved New Look inspire denim shorts and a cute floral tshirt which i got last summer from New Look inspire but never wore. I think i paid about £15 for it and got it in a size 24. I thought the floral and leopard print went really well together and i loved how this outfit looked even when it was wet through!

I am looking forward to re creating this outfit in the summer without the tights and hopefully without getting caught out in the rain again. 

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Dancing Queen

Last weekend me and Lisa decided to go to BGP in Manchester for those of you who haven't heard of it check out the website here. Now I'm sure that those of you who have might have some options on the night, before going I'd heard everything from it being great fun to it being like a fetish night. I went with an open mind, for me you can't really judge it till you try it, and I really loved it! I had a great night, I met some amazing ladies there and the guys that were there were friendly but never in a pervy way.

Me and Lisa got to the hotel early to relax ,get ready and have a few drinks. This turned into a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka but we do like to start the party early!

I even managed to put fake lashes on myself and Lisa without either of us looking like an extra from a clockwork orange.

Here's what I wore for the night, this picture was taken by Lisa in the hotel but I have recreated it at home where the light is better.

I wanted something comfortable that I could dance the night away in and this was perfect.The top is a bodysuit I got ages ago from asos curve, I adore it and you don't have to keep tucking it in like you sometimes end up doing with tshirts.

The shorts are from Simply Be and I only have good things to say about them! They are a size 24 and fit perfectly they have some stretch and are lovely and short with the cute lace detail around the bottom. Unfortunately they don't have them in stock anymore if they did i would be buying a second pair they are that amazing!

We got to BGP around 9 and chatted to a few people then after an hour or so I decided it was time to dance and barely sat down for the rest of the night. I had a fab time and met lots of lovely people although maybe I danced too hard as my legs felt like they might fall off the next day

XOXO
