Bank Holiday Weekend OOTD #2: The Orange Blazer

On Sunday, the Bank Holiday weekend celebrations continued...yeaaaaboi!

And even though I'm unemployed and the Monday was in effect just another day in the life of Nish (at the mo anyways), of course I still celebrated the occasion with my friends. It would be rude not to! 

We went to Battersea car boot sale in the day where I picked up a few bargains- Rocketdog boots for a fiver, a Topshop dress for £3 and an American Apparel skirt for £3. Winning.

Afterwards, we planned to head to The Ship in Wandsworth (the best riverside pub in London) but it was refusing entry due to the 18 degree heat and hoards of people desperate to get their tan and drink on! (yes, you heard me correctly, it was 18 degrees...in London!!!). 

So we ventured down Northcote Road and settled for seats outside an Indian restaurant as absolutely all of the pubs and bars with outside space were packed with a capital P....it was like every single person in the South West had just turned from vampire to human and this was their first day experiencing sun. Olaf would've loved it (if you haven't seen Frozen, ignore this reference...but do go and watch it immediately after reading the rest of this post as it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!)

At the Indian, we ordered chicken/lamb wraps and chips. So well cultured. And of course a bottle of vino! 

Later we ended up at The Windmill, a lovely pub in Clapham South, and I am now in love with the cute beer garden with heaters to keep you warm until close! Definitely a new local! (You can call a pub 45 mins away by public transport a 'local' if you live in London right?!) 

Annnnd then partied away at Vodka Revs on the High Street...clearly can't get enough of Battersea and Clapham these days. Post-drinks back at mine ended in an empty bottle of my parents wine, the birds rising before our bedtime had even begun, 2 hours sleep and a verrrry hungover Nish and Laura. 

Anyways, enough of that. This outfit was great as it took me from day to night. My orange patterned blazer from River Island is one of my favourite statement pieces for spring:

Necklace - Primark 
Frilly Navy Socks - Topshop

These are some snaps I found from much later on in the night: 




Note to self: never apply makeup when heavily intoxicated. Especially when it's a silvery sparkly eyeshadow stick. It's like handing a kid a crayon next to an old, worse for wear wall. It only makes it doubly unfavourable.

The Perfect 'Dinner To Club' Outfit


Happy Sunday everybody!

Yesterday I decided that a quick shopping trip was a must as I'm in need of some new rings (I love rings and wear them every day, causing my current ones to look a bit worse for wear!). After watching a haul by one of my newly discovered bloggers Suzie, writer of HelloOctober, I was convinced that H&M was the place to go. 

And it did not let me down as I returned with four multi-sets of rings and a multi-set of earrings. 



I may have also accidentally slipped into River Island and Topshop on the way to the bus stop and purchased a blazer and top...woopsy daisy. Oh, and tumbled into Boots and bought Maybelline's Colour Sensational Shine Gloss in 'Cashmere Rose' (another one of Suzie's recommendations). And once again bank balance, I am truly sorry. I mean it this time.

Last night I went to dinner on the Kings Road with Mr Irish where I indulged in a massive slab of  baby cow aka veal followed by a chocolate fondant to share (surprise surprise). Then we headed to Infernos to partaaay. This is where I decided it would be a good idea to become besties with half of the club and order them drinks, only for my card to get declined...sozzzz Niall! 

So this is what I purchased in the day time and wore in the eve;

The perfect 'dinner to club' or 'date to party' outfit, in my opinion!












I Am Wearing
Top - Topshop 
Blazer - River Island 
Leggings - Topshop
Shoes - Miss Selfridge
Rings - H&M
Necklace - Ebay
Nails - Models Own in 'Jade Stone'
Lips - Mac's 'Ravishing' and Maybelline's Colour Sensational Shine Gloss in 'Cashmere Rose'

And here are the H&M purchases: 


Midi rings are my new favourite thing! I'm so glad I finally found someone to fit my mini fingers! H&M, you rock. 
Yes, I just bought back the phrase "you rock". And what? 

Hope y'all had a lovely weekend!

XOXO
