A Random Night at Rose Club


  Friday night involved myself, Laura, Neena, Ellie, and a trip to the well known 
 Rose Club in Oxford Street!

Outfit of the Eve




Clutch- Topshop
Wedges- New Look
Ring- Car Boot
Watch- Michael Kors

I met the girls at Bond Street Station read to party party party...
and this, we definitely did.

Vodka on Ice Ice Babyyy


The beginning- slightly more composed!





The lovely Neena knows a promoter so this meant free drinks all night long. Now the words 'free' and 'drink' excite me on their own, so put together, you can imagine how happy I was. 

This happiness and excitement quickly turned into hysteria as soon as the blonde haired beauty that is Jamie Laing  from Made In Chelsea (ie. the best reality TV show in the history of reality TV) brushed right past me! I proceeded to shout 'JAAAAAMIIIIEE' at the top of my voice, practically shattering the ears of everyone close by. He looked, he stared, I stared back, I hid my face, realising I had absolutely nothing to say to him. I can now be categorised as one of those crazy fans. Cover blown.  

Laura and I decided it'd be a better idea to stare from afar...

Bumpin' n grindin'

...until we saw who he was with...Spencer, Proudlock and Joey f*****g Essex. Then our hearts, minds and everything else were set on getting into the VIP section where they were poppin' bottles and boogying away. After mine and Laura's failed attempts at sweet talking the bouncer, we were finally able to sneak in when he wasn't looking...pretty sly for two drunk and excitable 'MICers' (okay so that definitely doesn't have the same ring to it as 'Directioners').

Neena apparently tried claiming her promoter was in the VIP section and her table awaited her, but it turns out bouncers aren't as stupid as they seem. In fact, I've met a bouncer in Bristol with a PhD in Physics. True story.

But anyway...We made it to VIP! 

Woooooop!

Well Laura and I did. We'd lost Neena & Ellie from this point. Boo :(

I don't care, I love it
Dickheads can be beautiful too
Tonight Matthew I'm going to be....BUDDHA

I love taking my camera out for two reasons: 

1) I'm a happy snapper
2) It captures the night so that my memory/brain don't have to

I vaguely remember more bottle poppin'... 



Champagne & vodka= memory blanks!
But by the looks of things, we made a new bestie...




Even later on....


...my lesbian tendencies striked again


...and the night at Rose ended with me casually taking Laura's eye out with my gangly fingers, and her not batting an eyelid, literally. 

Food Time...
My favourite part of a night out is always the food at the end. Fridays experience was surreal to say the least. We ended up paying for a taxi to meet a group of boys we'd met in the club...not because we fancied them, their company or anything else about them for that matter, but because they were at a Chinese restaurant...which only meant one thing... Good grub! 

After indulging/stuffing our faces full of chicken chow mein, egg fried rice, sweet & sour chicken and plenty of other yummy Asian delights, we got up to leave... but my greed and love of prawn toast (spotted on another table) took over and resulted in an invite to join another group and eat eat eat. I was in my element or 'in the zone' as Laura keeps saying. And the guys looked at us like they'd never seen a girl eat before, but maybe that was more due to the amount we were eating. Best Chinese food I've ever tasted (but it's likely even dog food would've tasted good after the amount of alcohol we had consumed!)  

So with our bellies full of two Chinese feasts, all expenses paid, all that was left for us to do was go back to mine and pass out.

Moral of the night: we're classy gals.

Leopard Trousers: Three Looks

I'm a big big fan of anything animal printed, especially leopard print. I don't know what it is about it that attracts me, I don't even like cats. But if I had a penny for every leopard print patterned item I've bought in my lifetime, I'd undoubtedly be a very rich lady. 

 I recently purchased a lovely pair of leopard print trousers from Topshop to add to the ever growing collection. They were £42 but I've convinced myself they're worth it by putting together various ways of wearing them, depending on mood, place of wear...and whether I'm having a fat day or not!

Here are three looks: 

Nude Nish






Top- Asos
Bandeau- Urban Outfitters
Trousers- Topshop 
Shoes- Dorothy Perkins
Necklace- Primark 
Veiny feet- I got it from my mama 

Comfy Casual






Jumper- Forever 21
Trousers- Topshop
Shoes- Converse

Pop of Colour





Top- Topshop
Trousers- Topshop
Blazer- Ebay
Shoes- Primark
Necklace- Primark 

My current mood: sleeepy (like this leopard)

A Trip to Chiswick Car Boot

Picture this: 

On Sunday morning my bladder woke me up (as it usually does after a night out), my mouth tasted a mix of vodka and chocolate, and sprawled out next to me was a half naked guy. For a split second I thought 'what and more importantly who the hell happened last night...', until realising it was dear Foo Foo.
After this slight moment of madness, we had some tea and headed to Chiswick Car Boot Sale with Joely! 

I've always been a massive fan of this Car Boot which takes place on the first Sunday of every month! Saying that, the last time I went was in February... the heavy snow and lack of stalls left my sister and I with nothing but frostbite! Faaail.

Sunday's trip wasn't much better in terms of items purchased...but the sun was shining and we had a lovely little time.

Highlights!

I was never a believer in love at first sight...until I met this teeny weeny teacup puppy at the gates...in other words, the CUTEST thing I have ever seen in my life. And did I mention that it was literally the size of a teacup?  


Joely was on the lookout for a shirt similar to one which I got from here a few years back...he has taken mine captive and even wore it on Sunday (see below). Cheeky bugger.


Whilst Joel tried on various pieces of women's jewellery and examined teapots...



Ferrari was busy taking selfies...and I quote, "I wish there were two of me so I could fuck myself". 
His vanity has no bounds...


and I was making up for the lack of sausage the night before...



Purchases!

Joely got this beautiful vintage mirror:

mirror mirror on the wall, who's the gayest of them all...

His PR selling/negotiating skillz came in handy as he got it down from £25 to £20. 
Well I say that, but it was actually down to pure luck. The old man selling it wanted me to flip a coin to determine the price... £20 for heads and £22 for tails. 
Luckily for Joel, the guy was a bit ditzy in the head...it landed on tails and he still exclaimed "£20 it is!"
SAAAFE DOOOE. 

Joel and I also got matching watch rings for £2....bargain. Little did we know that neither of them actually work...but at least they look pretty :) 


and I also bought this statement pearl ring for £1..yay!



Most Shameful Moment:

It has to be when I tried to purchase a real Prada bag for £1.50 rather than it's actual price of £150. The woman looked me like I'd been dropped on my head a fair few times as a child.
To be fair I probably was. 

I'm going to do a style post tomorrow- 1 Item, 3 Ways. 
Have a look innit.

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
Click Click Snap  

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?

Standard Selfie

Group Shot

<3

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
