Momma Visit's


Dress- Topshop Boutique
Jacket-River Island
Boots-Topshop Ambush

So today was a chilled out Sunday. After my last week of uni before my revision leave I wanted to chill out this weekend rather than party. Especially because I got a little too drunk last week, but that's a long story. Therefore after having a movie night with my housemate, Hannah, where she managed to consume a whole bottle of wine. My Momma came to visit. Usually she doesn't like shopping. So I was a little surprised when she suggested that we go. I was even more surprised when she bought me a beautiful new Blazer from Zara. I even managed to get her into Selfridge's where she vowed to buy a dress for my cousins wedding.


After shopping till we dropped. We went to the Northern Quarter for some lunch. Being very familiar with the area, as it is our usual Saturday night out. I decided that we should go to 'The Blue Pig'. Its a deli style bar, the perfect mixture of cocktails and yummy food. The best thing on the menu are the Platters, only exceeding expectations by the fact you can design your own. I did the choosing whilst sipping my Stormy cocktail, and I have to say some of the best food I have ever had. My favorite item being the African ginger bread, it was so yummy. However we were a bit naughty after and had some Churros with chocolate dip, but a desert shared is calories halved. Coupled with the quirky atmosphere which kind of reminds me of some of the Parisian bars I've been to. I defiantly would recommend it. 

On a final note, it was so lovely to see my momma. We had such a nice chat and a good day together. I feel since I have got older and grown up we get along loads better. I feel like I can talk about most things with her, some still has to be kept secret though. I feel like I have grown up so much recently and appreciate that mother daughter bond so much more. So glad I'm lucky enough to have my momma there for me every second of my life.

Feather Effect...

Nail trends have become very popular over the last year. Therefore I decided to jump on the band wagon and try out the newest 'Nails Inc Feather Effect'. I tried it out after seeing it on another blog and thought it looked really cool. However I was left feeling a little dissapointed. It looked alright, it was after all something different and was a cool effect. However as the day went on it was just annoying. As it is textured it was easy to pick off and got caught quite a lot. It was also quite scratchy and just left me feeling like I ha wasted my £11 rather than gained a cool new nail paint. I can also see the product being used fast as it took me applying about 3 coats to get a full coverage of the nail.



Nails Inc Feather effect comes in 5 shades and the bottle costs £11. The shade i'm wearing is 'Chester Feathers.'
