My House of CB experience

04:40

Me and the girls i live with planned a night out in Spinningfields and Deansgate last friday for bar hopping. I needed a new outfit for the occasion as the area we went to is very sophisticated and there is a certain dress code so it definitely involved heels and dressing to the nines.

I ended up going to House Of CB the same day to see if there was a dress that would be perfect for the night. I looked in the sale and found a gorgeous pink strapless body hugging dress. Pink is not usually a colour i wear, i usually go for dark colours and neutrals but i thought i would try it on a give it a go. I literally fell in love with it as soon as i tried it on. The colour was gorgeous and the fit was perfect it made me look so curvy, was definitely worth the pricey price tag of £62.

The staff at House of CB were amazing and so so helpful with helping me pick the best outfit and giving me different options straight to the dressing room.

I wore the dress with a pair of silver snake skin print heels and accompanied it with a matching clutch.

More 21st celebrations with the bestest friends...

03:44

So i had more celebrations for my birthday, on the wednesday i booked a table for me and my friends for a gorgeous Indian and Thai dinner at The Vermilion Manchester. I booked the Maharaja table which was separate to the whole restaurant and made my birthday more intimate with my close friends. The whole venue was perfect and everyone loved the moving table, we all felt like royals. I definitely recommend you to visit this restaurant and bar if you are ever in Manchester 10/10 food and service.

My friends surprised me with a Burberry Military Red lipstick and a Beyonce Heat Perfume (my life depends on these two so to be surprised with them made my entire day). Shoutout to my favourites!

For the night i wore a cute little two piece number by Missguided gifted by my best friend Olivia, it matched with my Louboutins, lipstick and of course the whole venue.

After the meal we went to the Northern Quarter for some drinks at the Hula Bar, the whole evening was sophisticated and chilled exactly how i wanted it. Heres to the rest of this year being 21!

Celebrated my 21st with the bestests friends i could ever ask for, an evening i will never forget.

A Birthday present i will never forget...

02:22

So, as my 21st birthday is coming up this week on the 23rd of November, this Wednesday, my family came to visit me for the day on sunday. We went shopping at Selfridges and i felt like the luckiest girl in the world when my parents bought me a pair of So Kate 120mm Christian Louboutins. My whole experience in the store was perfect, and i was intensely shaking just holding a pair never mind trying them on and walking around with them on my feet. It was a struggle to choose between the colours black and beige but once i had tried one of each at the same time i knew straight away that the beige Louboutins complimented my tone a lot more. My dream has come true, still ecstatic i had to try them on again in the morning the day after. I cannot wait for more celebrations on wednesday and Saturday!

After shopping i took my family to a gorgeous Indian and Thai restaurant where service was on point and the atmosphere and food was absolutely faultless. The Vermillion in Manchester is a place to visit if you are ever in the city for an exotic cuisine.

Perspex Lovin

06:05

Currently crushing on these Perspex boots i bought from www.lamoda.co.uk! I bought them when they were in the sale! such a bargain, they are currently no longer in sale but the price is still great for the quality of the boots and packaging they come with! A shoe bag is also included, i think i have found my new favourite shoe retailer.

Perspex heels made their first appearance at the Kanye West Fashion show collections, specifically the second season as seen on kim Kardashian out and about in some pictures below. The Yeezus ones are currently sold out so these ones Lamoda are offering look very similar and are a lot more affordable as well, can't go wrong with that one bit.

Below my boots i bought from www.lamoda.co.uk

The heels below are perspex heels but a different design to the boots so give a very different sleek effect when worn on the feet which looks just as amazing as the boots.

Christian Dior have also designed boots with a similar look, the see through heel. They look good but i personally prefer the Yeezus design.

What do you think, any thoughts and opinions let me know below in the comments section

My little trip to Venezia with my best friend

15:07

So on the June the 15th me and my best friend of 14 years jetted off on our first girls holiday to Venice in Italy. Italy is a destination i have been wanting to go to for a very long time and having had the opportunity to go such a beautiful country with such lovely company was the best combination.

The gelato, the pizza, the boats, the shops and the scenery were all so unreal. Venice is gorgeous in pictures but to visit it in person is on another level the buildings and the sea that surrounds them looks like a mesmerising painting.

...and of course as soon as i stepped off the plane and reached Marco Polo Airport i spotted some eye candy straight away.

Three days and three nights in Venice was the right amount as there is only so much walking around and visiting different places you can do although the views are gorgeous and i could stay there forever just looking at the sun set sat by the sea with some spaghetti carbonara, which is exactly what i did on the last night after a visit to the Sky Bar at the Hilton Hotel in Giudecca which i defiantly recommend.

The Ambaciatori hotel was four stars and was on point in every form, i was very impressed. The hotel we stayed at was a ten minute bus ride across the bridge from the heart of venice which didn't take long to lead us to the beautiful city built around sea.
