God bless you my child


"When I was in sixth grade, I wanted to be a priest." Mike Krzyzewski, Monsters inc
 
 
It was only after I took this photo and put on my coat to walk to work that I thought to myself that I kinda looked a bit like a priest. With my white collar and all black outfit, I am happy to take all your fashion confessions. About how you have sinned against the God that is fashion and we can say our Hail Anna Wintours' together & pray for your sins to be forgiven. Amen.
 
One thing I need to be forgiven for is Saturday night.  Oh no, don't worry I wasn't drunk or anything, just slightly tipsy.  But it was such a good girly night.  I haven't been out in ages, didn't even go out for my birthday in July.  Starting to show my age but I was really excited for Saturday night to blow off some steam after a stressful week.  So excitedly I tried to decide what to wear.  As I said, I don't get out much anymore so all the lovely slutty dresses and short short skirts don't get worn that much.  I wanted to wear everything I owned.  And I practically did as I changed 5 times before the taxi came.  Don't get me wrong, I loved every look I had on me and now I am completely organised for the next few events that I have coming up over the next few weeks but I just couldn't decide what I was feeling.
 

 
So this is the look I ended up going with.  Mainly because I was being shouted out the door due to the the taxi waiting on us downstairs.  Remember La Senza???? Aw I loved that place, I have a thing for underwear.  I have I think 19 bras, 20 as Connor bought me a Victoria Secret one for my birthday. So as tacky as wearing a black corset out sounds, it actually worked quite well. It wasn't very visible that it was a corset, more like a structured top.  They are in Topshop at the minute as cropped versions so this is the only way I can channel this style due to a stupid challenge I set myself at the start of this year.
 
 
 
And here we are!! Typical toilet photo that most girls take on a night out. My gorgeous housemate Jayne and the beautiful & fabulous Rebecca McKinney, Personal stylist at Victoria Square. We didn't mean to colour corindate but we did. We are unintentionally that good.  We literally just danced all night, by the end of it my feet were on fire.  The music in Ollies, Belfast was amazing, such good tunes! Here are my beautiful feet after Saturday night. 
 

Question.....hat.....yes or no??? This was my hungover look for Sunday when I went for a massive munch in Maggie Mays in Botantic to settle my growling stomach. I loved it, I've so many hats but I'm too scared to wear them due to the thought of looking like an twat. Girls all said yes, boyfriend said I looked like inspector gadget. Well actually he said a 1950's detective & I said or inspector gadget. So I ignored what he said & went with it? What do you think? Yes or no?

Bananas in Pajamas

“Be genuinely interested in everyone you meet and everyone you meet will be genuinely interested in you”   Rasheed Ogynlaru

 
Once upon a time, there were 17 girls
beauty & fashion bloggers dolled up in their pearls
Off to Malone Lodge Hotel they went
Giggles, cocktails and many a tweet was sent.
 
But why were they there?
kindly supplied by the fab Carla and Anna, it was a night on the tear!
With a refurbishment to the Malone suite
& expansion of their restaurant 'The Knife & Fork", we were in for a treat.

 


 
 Welcomed with cocktails into a beautiful lobby
I met the FABB girls, were blogging is much more than a hobby.
Slightly nervous to meet everyone,
but no need to worry, the girls were great fun!
 
We were graced with a fab tour of the hotel,
gorgeous rooms, 240 seater conference room, this place really does excel!
With fabulous Audrey Hepburn posters,
I was scared to set anything down without a coaster!
 
 
 
 
Dinner was served & what a meal it was!
Laugther, speeches over wine, what a buzz!
Treated like queens of the world,
I walked on clouds, white and fluffy & swirled.


Speaking of white and fluffy,
Check out this giant bed, thank god I hadn't dressed scruffy!
After dinner, we were treated to a facial cleanse
Skin medi Spa are my new best friend!
 
The gossip continued into the wee hours,
the girls raved about everything including the showers!
Sadly I missed the breakfast,
Though I am thankful I was just asked.

 

 
How do you make your blog post stand out?
I did try to rhyme throughout!
But I think I did crap,
But what a night, thanks Malone Lodge, it went off without a flap!

 Ps If you didn't get it as my poetry is pretty shit, this post was about the Northern Irish bloggers night out to Malone Lodge which has recently had a fab refurb done.  It was a great time, the staff were amazing all wearing their pjs & so were some of the bloggers that were staying over.  I had to work early the next morning so I didn't get to stay over, raging!!!! It was great to meet everyone for the 1st time & put names to faces.  The Malone Lodges were super hosts. A special thank you to Anna from INC PR & Carla the manager of Malone Lodge.  Fab hosts!!!  Also to Skin Medi Spa for my fab cleanse & tone using Elemis products.
