Tup Tup's Christmas Party!

Whilst I live up in Newcastle during term time I work at the Night club Tup Tup (the best club in Newcastle… not biased or anything!) I have worked there for nearly a year now.

Recently, we had our Christmas staff party. Where all bar men/women and bouncers are invited too. We went to the restaurant Babucho's down near the quay for a champagne cocktail reception, then a three course meal. After we had a DJ and the place was all ours. At 2am we went across to Tup and had the whole top floor, and all the drinks possible. Everything was paid for! It was such a good night spent with friends and staff! It's safe to say there were some sore heads the next morning… well later that day. We didn't get home till 5am!

I wore my flat mates Velvet Burgundy dress from Misguided, KG studded black heels, and my 21st Tiffany Mother Of Pearl Necklace, and two Links London Bracelets. I styled my hair with rollers (normal velcro rollers), sat with them in for about 4 hours mind! The tan I am using is "WhiteToBrown" tan which, I will swear by.

Sleep in Rollers - Review

Last night at around 10 o'clock I started putting my "Sleep in Rollers' in. Well I've put normal rollers in before (I'm not very good at them mind!) but these were quite a bit harder to put in I thought! So after what felt like an hour I had the majority of the rollers in. I had them all gripped in with two grips to be secure. I then finished with a spray of hairspray.

Box of rollers

What was in the box: Hair Grips, DVD and rollers.

Rollers in before bed

When I had them in, I thought I'm not going to be able to sleep with these in, they weren't as soft as I imaged them to be. Anyway, I got into bed, and laid down, they weren't too bad. They weren't super soft so your head was raised above the pillow, but when I found a comfortable position I was fine.

I did noticed that I woke up a lot in the night to change my head position and you kind of have to shuffle your head a bit to get the rollers to sit in a comfortable place. 

Anyway, when I woke up I showered and put my face on and then took the rollers out. When I first started taking them out I didn't notice anything like you would from plastic rollers. But when I had them all out, I liked it a lot!

I had volume with some slight curls. I didn't backcomb the roots before putting the rollers in, so I might do that next time to get more volume from the root. I liked the outcome a lot, a natural volumised hair style. And with time, I will get better at putting them in! So they may improve!! Here's some pictures of the outcome!

Morning!

Smart travelling

You know when you have one of those days where you have loads of clothes that you could wear, but you have NOTHING to wear?! Well I had one of those days yesterday. Honestly, I need some new clothes! This was about the third outfit I tried on yesterday, and all I was doing was going back to Suffolk on the train!

So, in the end I ended up wearing this Bershka Electric Blue Blazer, Topshop Lime Cami, Topshop Necklace, with my new Topshop Highwaisted ankle length jeans. (Which are in actual fact not that high on me, I would like a higher pair!)

I may have looked smart travelling but at least when I was on the train from London Liverpool Street I kind of fitted in on my train coach with all the suited business men!

OOTD - 14/08013

Last weeks train stamp

Brights to brighten my day!

Today was a glum day (weather wise!) and so I thought I'd wear something colourful... and as seen as I purchased this in the Topshop sale the other day, it had to have its outing! Again everything is Topshop. The necklace is from the shop Nicola Sexton by the designer 'Bill Skinner', cute little honeycomb ball with a insect on top.

Couldn't go wrong with this midi skirt for £12 in the sale, liked it for a while but didn't think I'd suit it, but went for it anyway, and I do like it, even if horizontal lines do make you look wider!

OOTD 10/08/2013

New outfit ready to wear for tomorrows work day as well as travelling home after 6 days working straight! A rest is definitely in need after this hectic week of work.

Sunnies

Think it's about time I need some new sunglasses! Had these ones a fair while and they've had their wearing time. Need something a bit different to my big, take up your face up glasses.

Current sunnies

However, with my expensive taste, these will be my next pair!!

Ray Ban Sunglasses

Lime and Navy Ootd

This weather has really thrown me especially as I only pack what I need for the week as I have to lug a suitcase around train stations each week. Of course I check the weather forecast before I pack.

Today however, it was lovely and sunny this morning, then got grey and cloudy, now we are mid thunderstorm with the heavens opening! However, my outfit today is navy jeans (Pull and Bear) navy cami (Topshop), lime cami (Topshop), beige shoes (Bershka) and jewelled necklace (Butterfly, sold at Nicola Sexton) 

Loving the navy and lime together. 

OOTD 1st August

My gosh where has the year gone, August already?!

I'm making the most of this actual summer we have had in England this year! I've come to love Midi skirts this year. They are great to just slip on and wear with anything! 

This is my new midi skirt purchase from Topshop. Infact this whole outfit is Topshop! I am also in love with their strappy camis which have become a huge hit with everyone. Fair to say I have a fair amount of them! 

Skirt, Top & Necklace all from Topshop

My Bouffant

So, my hair has been something ever since I was 13 years old that is recognisable. I currently have long blonde hair... When I was at boarding school I remember getting up at 6am (school didn't start till 8.45am), washing my hair and curling it every day. I loved having BIG hair. (Below is what I used to always do my hair like)

As I've got older, I don't have much time in the morning (I try and get in every wink of sleep I can!) and so the normal hair style is down and clipped to the side in its natural state (straight) or in a big doughnut on the top of my head (which is the only way I can have it out of my face!) Or a messy bun.

The time has come where my hair needs a revamp, my layers aren't as nice as they used to be and to be honest I am getting bored of my hair. However, long hair means I can do whatever with it... But no, I've booked a hair appointment tomorrow after work. And all I'm going to say to the stylist is... cut off as much as needs cutting off for it to look nice and new again. I know I'm going to lose about 5 inches... I know that sounds like nothing, but I've always had long hair. Apart from when I was like 6 and I had the classic Mother choice of hair cut of a short bob and a full fringe (WHY do our mothers do that to us?!)

I'm already nervous to see all my hair be cut off... but at the end of the day, it will grow back, it might just take more than a day!
I'll keep you posted in the next few days on what it looks like, and how I cope!
