Brentwood Weekend

So I went off to the lovely Brentwood area for Valentines weekend with my good friend Nicole, to say the least it was an amazing experience and will be doing something like it very soon! So I can hear people asking what I was doing on Valentines day/weekend with Nicole going to get somewhat drunk Friday and Saturday...Well what else do single girls do!?

So lets get to the traveling aspect of this journey, I myself traveled from Ipswich and Nicole traveled from out home town Dovercourt/Harwich which is around 40 minutes train journey from Ipswich. I packed all my suitcase full of my outfits, my backpack full of my cosmetics and my Cath Kidson bag will all my essential bag things. I wore my beloved Office navy cut out heeled boots...Not a good decision! Whilst I was walking I could feel the back of my heel rubbing but thought nothing of it, I had my Primark frilly socks (A must have for these booties I have to say) So I got to the station got my tickets to Brentwood, put my stuff down to put my purse away and I then see a bloody ankle and leg of mine and also my poor boot! I panic and my train is coming so off I hobble to the train and get my suitcase all done and sit myself down the evaluate my medical emergency of my ankle. It had bled so much it was over my leg, in my boot and at the cuff of my jeans drenched! So I try and see the damage but there was too much blood around it all, thankfully Nicole is on the next stop with a plaster and I have my water and cotton buds to clean it up with, although my jeans were still holding blood and my boot is now stained with blood at the top WAH!

My 'wound' after a bit of cleaning

We arrived into Brentwood around 3-4 I honestly cannot remember at all. We booked in and like a good person I unpacked and scouted out the room, Nicole on the other hand decided to have a nap!? A nap! All the traveling must have tired her out? So after I dragged her out of bed we walked into town to check out possible bars, food places and shopping of course. Dinner we decided on Zizzi which is an Italian restaurant and the food we had was gorgeous and I am defiantly wanting to go there again soon somehow. 


The next 2 nights consisted of bottles of wine, getting ready, singing, dancing, boys (I had a creepy Russian guy and another somewhat lovely normal guy, my friend got first night a guy who lied about his age and name until we went outside! How rude haha!) And Saturday was a bit of shopping, Nicole napping and me watching TV doing some university work and Sunday was the travel back home!



I had the best weekend and both me and Nicole plus some friends are off to Chelmsford soon I hope and Norwich!

Saturday Night Out - Red Lips

So I had a girls night out with my two very good friends Nicole and Kelsey. This was a drama free night full of dancing, singing and drinking...a lot.

I am starting to get better at my smokey eye look, finally I no longer look like a panda or like I've got two black eyes! I am yet to get smokier on the bottom lashes as I like the wide eye look but I may play around with make up soon to try and get to the next level.

Here are some photos before the night got messy to say!
