Oh beehive!

Cheesy puns ahoy! I hate to say it but I felt more than a little bit like Adele in this outfit. I have never been a fan of hers but I can't help but feel that the shape of the dress with the beehive make this something she might wear, even if it is a little brighter than her usual LBDs.  This whole outfit was quite 60s inspired and I actually love how it came out- perhaps a bit 'fancy dress' for New Year's Day but oh well!

Dress: H&M, shoes: Carvela from John Lewis, ribbon: Hobbycraft
I picked up this dress in H&M the other day, when it was reduced to a mere £10 in the sale and I absolutely love it. The length makes it perfect for work and I love the bright floral/tie dye explosion of colour too... I can see this working with a lot of  my favourite accessories, how amazing would this look with my pink shoes?!


The gorgeous burgundy shade on my nails is the 'Die Another Day' shade from the Opi 'Get Bonded collection' which I treated myself to over Christmas and I absolutely love. The shades are fab and I found them really easy to apply. I have always been pleased with Opi products although I know that some people don't get on with them so well. You can see me wearing the gorgeous pale gold 'Golden Eye' shade in my Christmas post and I am sure that 'The Spy Who Loved Me' shade will be making an appearance soon!


THE SHOES OF DREAMS ™ I bought these shoes a few years ago in the John Lewis sale and I really don't wear them enough. They are pale pink velvet with sparkly encrusted bows and although fairly rigid, the perfect shoes to wear if you are having a bit of a rubbish day, these babies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!


My beehive in close up! I am not one for experimenting with my hair but after I managed to unravel my hair doughnut, I decided that I would use it as a DIY Bump-it and pin my hair into a beehive and I think it worked quite well. I don't like backcombing my hair but I think this worked well as a cheat's way to a beehive, what do you think?

How do you beehive? What are your shoes of dreams?

Skyfall & Zizzi Worcester (A REVIEW)...

So as you may have heard, a little indie film was released recently called Skyfall. Directed by Sam Mendes and featuring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and everyone's favourite, Judi Dench, for me it was something I was desperate to see and Ladbrokes (click here to visit their site) very kindly sent me vouchers for both the cinema and for Zizzi- the perfect recipe for a night out. I won't post any spoilers here but I will say that Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace felt like 'pre-Bond' to me whereas Daniel (my beloved) was more classic Bond with this film... I will never be a film critic but it is good, definitely go and see it (I have seen it twice already!!) (Even as a long term Adele hater, I didn't even mind her singing the theme song!)


Hilarious webcam shot from my first year at uni,  so 2008 (!) of my giant Daniel Craig poster... swoon! Captioned on Facebook as 'Have you seen his massive gun?!'- classy as ever...
 As it turned out, Mark and I went to the cinema last weekend with Cindy and Dan which was lovely and then went for a massive meal yesterday at Zizzi in Worcester which only opened recently. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and has been designed with the history of Worcester as the inspiration for the décor. I am a long-time fan of Zizzi and I always end up having the same thing so this time I was determined to try something different...


For my starter, I had doughsticks- bread with garlic and rosemary, what more could you want?! I am definitely going to try and make these at home..


Mark had calamari (bleugh) with a lemon mayonnaise...


I love how each of the tables had music underneath the glass- I think Elgar would approve! 


Hot ginger beer and elderflower to drink, unfortunately the hot ginger beer was just spicy rather than warmed- how amazing would that be in winter?


I loved the new chichetti menu which is basically tapas as I am always far too indecisive. I chose rosemary chicken and pepper skewers, deep fried risotto balls with peas and mozzarella and seared beef with a peppery rocket salad (my favourite) and I was nicely full after I had finished...


Mark had the classic Fiorentina pizza with a fried egg on the top (it shouldn't work but it does!) which was HUGE.


 And for pud? Torta Amaretti which has always been my favourite pudding, I don;t know what I would do if they ever took it off the menu!


Mark plumped for grissini- sweet dough with honey, pine nuts and chocolate sauce for dipping them in. I swear, after all of this food, Mark had to roll me out of the restaurant but I didn't regret a single mouthful! 

Have you seen Skyfall yet? Do you always choose the same thing at restaurants?
P.S. Many thanks to Ladbrokes for the vouchers, Mark and I had a lovely time!
