AUF WIEDERSEHEN

 My Dream Team Queen B Rachel and I

I don't know if I've mentioned it on here yet but I'M MOVING TO CANADA ON FRIDAY. Exciting times ahead but sadly that meant leaving my much loved colleagues at Northern Lights Agency where I have worked for the past two and half years :'-(  So on wednesday I was treated to some lovely leaving presents and an amazing leaving dinner at Restaurant Bar & Grill in Manchester. 

I really liked my outfit but didn't take any proper photos (trust me if I had better ones I would put them up but for now please enjoy the view of our toilets) so yeah, on paper, white vest and white blazer doesn't sound great but when I had them on together I loved the look, I've had this blazer for two years,  its really old Primark and this is the first time I've worn it (Its now in my immediate jacket choices) Wore with Zara heels and H&M coated skinny trousers 

SUCK IT, NYE!

Dress: Topshop

Although I was in NYC over new years, new years eve itself was a complete bust (bad club, bad crowd, bad vibes) if there is somewhere that needs to be avoided in New York, its club Pacha. I won't go into the details, but in a nutshell new years eve was a huge let down. 

I guess the silver lining was that, while only for a short time, I got to wear one of the most amazing dresses I've ever owned. Unfortunately it didn't get much of an outing, and I hardly got any decent photos of it when I did wear it so I threw it on again for some quick snaps to share on here. It set me back a small fortune (£180..then went into the sale garghhh) but I don't ever spend silly money on dresses, and this one seemed totally worth it. For a start, it is ridiculously heavy and the detail is incredible, compared to all other sequin dresses I've seen on the high street it is very high quality. Even though every time I try it on some of the beads fall off, I think it will look even better when its slighty battered.

  I wore it with minimal make-up and heeled ankle boots because I didn't want to look too glamourous- I spent the other 364 days of 2012 wearing black or jeans so this was pretty intense for me. The result: backless, nude, sequins and glitter....I felt like 'effin J-LO.
