The Rosie Post: Ping Pong & Partying

Saturday night we spent the evening celebrating 22 years of Rosie Smith, starting with a few drinks at Lloyd's Bar in Fulham, followed by a Ping Pong session at Ping in Earl's Court. We didn't actually get a go on the ping pong tables until rather late into the eve...Let's just say we won't be entering into the World Table Tennis Championships any time soon! (I blame the ever so slight influence of vodka, wine and jager). 

This is what I wore: 

I Am Wearing

Black Swing Dress - Asos 

Platform Heels - New Look 

Pink Socks - Topshop 

Leopard Clutch - Accessorize

Necklace - Chiswick Car Boot Sale

Rings - H&M

Watch - Michael Kors 

Nails - Models Own in 'Bikini'

Eyeshadow - Naked 3 Palette

Lipstick - Mac's 'Ravishing'

Eyebrows - new id cosmetics i-smoulder in 'chocolate' (to read my review, click here ) 

And here are a few snaps from the evening! 

Me and the bestie!

Laura's generously sized jugs aren't just aesthetically pleasing. They have many uses...

I'm still adamant that these two siblings are almost identical...they strongly disagree. 

 Birthday gal looking b-e-a-u-tiful!

Even if her lipstick did end up all over her face...

Parrrrt-AAAAA

Still on the lookout for my calling in life. Glad I've established that it's certainly not being a ping pong pro. 

XOXO

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

Very Temporary Pink Hair! (& OOTD)

Helloooo there

I've decided to do a little post on wash in wash out pink hair dye! I contemplated dip dying my hair pink a while ago, but my fear of looking like some sort of old school punk/emo kid and not being able to do anything about it put me off the idea. Instead, I decided to try out a few different wash in wash out dyes over the past few weeks!

On Friday I popped to Topshop, and whilst queing, came across something quite remarkable. Topshop queue lines and I have a love/hate relationship. Love, because I love everything in their cleverly stacked isles...the cute little purses, colourful nail varnishes, frilly socks, sweets and 'skinny' popcorn. Hate, because they are made for girls like me with absolutely no will power and a love of anything pretty/yummy...and my poor bank card pays for it...bye bye monies.

So this is what I found and purchased in the queue on Friday: 

I decided to try it out for Carolines 21st birthday partaaay on Saturday. You literally draw it onto your hair. I did it when mine was damp as it says the colour comes out more when wet, and my hair is pretttty dark. 

My sister helped me out...and this was the result...

I found the chalk really really crumbly and messy. I wouldn't be surprised if more of it ended up on my bed, my rug and my floor than in my actual hair! 

A few weeks ago for Carnival, I used the below instant spray dye. I found that this one worked much better as it was so much easier to apply, and so much less effort and less messy. 

Just after applying it, it looked like this...

I was happy with the result, but it definitely faded throughout the night! 

Makeup

Nail gems on my eyes...and what?

Outfit of the Day

Recently I've become a bit obsessed with two girls and their blogs and YouTube channels: 

Zoella (who was lucky enough to interview ONE DIRECTION)

Tanya Burr (amazing, cute and down to earth makeup artist)

Not gonna lie, I saw this playsuit on Tanya and needed it in my life. I found it on the River Island website for £45.00 (I think it's now sold out as it's no longer on the website).

 I looove it. As well as being comfy, it makes a nice change from my standard shorter/skimpier outfit choices for a night out.

 Headband- Rock N Rose

Shoes- Ebay

Necklace- Topshop

Clutch- Accessorize

Pearl Ring- Car Boot 

The pink hair was fun while it lasted, but I am happy to have my 'mars bar' dip dye back! (thanks Joely)

My Perfect Saturday; Tasty Treats, One Direction & G-A-Y.

Yum Yum in my Tum

Saturday fun began when I met my friend Ferrari (Foo Foo) for some incredibly yummy food consisting of chicken, rice, crunchy veg and some sort of coconut milky goodness. If you're ever looking for an alternative, less pricey version of Wagamama's, Itsu Sushi is the one! Cheap as chips and tasty as tits. 

One Direction: This Is Us

My love for the beautiful boy band that is One Direction is not one to be underestimated. Nor am I ashamed to admit that I dream about Niall Horan as my boyfriend. Yes, I am a 12 year old girl trapped in a 22 year old woman's body.

So of course when their movie came out, I had to see it. £14.95 for a ticket...and worth every penny. 

The audience consisted of little girls, their parents, and Ferrari and I. Judging by the movie trailers which were shown, one example being for 'Turbo', a movie about a garden snail who dreams of being the greatest racer in the world (optimistic), it was clear we were a bit out of place. But hey, life goes on.

Being the classy gays that we are, we snuck in our own food and alcohol and spent the whole duration of the film singing along to every song, happy snapping, munching and thinking naughty thoughts about the perfect little creatures on the screen (and most probably annoying the hell out of our fellow 'Directioners'!)

MUNCH

Favourite Parts of the Movie

•  Niall's X Factor reaction to getting rejected as a solo artist and then being put into the band. It never gets old. He is so cute and vulnerable and I just want to hug him, hold him, squeeze him, please him. 
• Zayn's phonecall to his mama after she sees the house he bought for her. I wanted to cry. 

Disappointments

• The fact we weren't featured (they filmed their show on the night we went to see them, but our fanatic faces didn't pop up). 

If you don't love 1D, I guarentee you will hate the movie. It's really quite shit as far as movies go, and I only enjoyed it because I am genuinely sad and enjoy watching them sing, talk, interact, and look pretty. 

Anyways...a family pack of crispies each & 6 G&T's later and we were suitably pissed and ready to partaaaay in my favourite place of all time... 

G-A-Y Late!

For those of you who don't already know, I am basically a gay man. I love gay clubs and there was a time when a week wouldn't pass without at least one trip to G-A-Y. This probably explains my relationship status.

 I can't remember the last time I went to G-A-Y Late (my fav) before yesterday and I was defo having withdrawal symptoms!

We met up with our friend Adam (Dotty). Dotty and I wanted to go to G-A-Y Late but Ferrari wanted to go to another gay club. We learnt a few things last night; 

How to get a stubborn gay man to go to G-A-Y

1) Get him drunk

2) Offer to buy his drinks all night (safe Dotty) 

 The One Direction theme continued...

Me and my future hubby Niall Horan

Rocking sunglasses inside. And what?

To top it all off, me and Ferrari went for yet another tasty meal at Balans after G-A-Y...it made a nice change from the greasy kebab shop across the road and also meant avoiding the standard arguments where I accuse them of not giving me enough salad, sauce, chips, or all of the above.

I don't know what I ate, all I know is that it was frickin' delicious!

The only bad things I have to say about the night are...

 1) Ferrari made me leave at 2am when there was a good hour of boogie time left

2) This naughty man stole my favourite hat

RIP hat 

 Peace and love
