Eats : Turtle Bay
So last week me and Rob were invited to have dinner & cocktails at Turtle Bay in Walthamstow. Note I said Walthamstow, I live in STREATHAM the other end of London literally, and I will be going back because it was that damn good, worth an hours journey any day.
Turtle bay does amazing Caribbean food, all the traditional yummy bits like Jerk chicken, fried plantain and patties but with some amazing extra special eats. We started off with a few cocktails please for the love of god if you like banana get the Hummingbird - white rum, Tia Maria, banana liqueur, cream, fresh banana & coconut. The jerk wings were a must to start, hotter than hell and too good, the chili squid got a big thumbs up from us too. The main event, I am still raving about, and is the reason we'll be going back very soon was the double dipped jerk steak. It was sex on a plate, rare - and Rob kept on nicking bits of mine even though he had the tastiest jerk lamb I've ever eaten. Safe to say after cocktails and my weight in wings and steak, we didn't make it to dessert. Big thanks to Kitty who looked after us for the evening, you were such a babe!
Thanks Turtle Bay we'll be back soon :)

ALL OF THE COLOURS.
Shirt - VintageTommy Hilfiger via Depop, Trousers - Boohoo , Trainers - Air Force 1 Offspring , Necklace - Primark
Well this is awkward... it's 2015 and I haven't blogged for 7 months. What the hell? Full time employment at a lovely but time consuming job and my lack of appetite for blogging with a hangover at the weekend takes a toll.
I never thought I'd say this but I miss it!!! Rambling on about shit nobody cares about and posting pictures of me wearing the various bits and bobs from hideously extensive wardrobe/floordrobe makes me happy. I'm in a sharing frame of mind.
Today was one of those days when I felt like I wanted to wear all the colours. I originally bought this vintage Tommy Hilfiger shirt for my boyfriend off Depop, but decided to keep it for myself...sorry Rob! And these trousers were £8 off Boohoo, they tried to Pantone match them at work and failed the colour is that magical!
Also feel like I should explain the weird colour of my hair, it wasn't planned D: ! I got bored with blonde and decided I was going to dye my hair purple last night, violet to be exact. I wasted £4 on Crazy Colours Violette, and unless I'm colour blind my hair is definitely BLUE! My poor hair :( I'm going to be spending the next week frantically trying to fade it out, trust me having a weave is so much less stress than looking after my actual hair! If anyone has any tips for getting blue out of hair help a sista out?
I've got a bunch of ideas for posts I'm going to definitely do..and I actually mean it this time. I've embarked on a journey to getfit and healthy , lets be real skinnier so maybe I'll blog about my progress (if there is any, fingers crossed). Anyway watch this space.

#OOTD - Primark white duster + Vintage shirt
Jacket - Primark , Shirt - Vintage , Skirt - Primark , Sunglasses - Pressie , Bag - C/O Paul's Boutique
Hello my lovelies! Hope you had a marvelous weekend, thank god I managed to get through it with minimal sunburn (yep I always manage it) and not a hangover in sight.
I wore this last week to the Schuh house party I went to with Jen & Beth. It was AMAZING! The best possible end to a 3 day juice cleanse - vodka, bubbly and Macaroni cheese galore. Surprisingly, I didn't spill anything on my new white jacket. I saw this coat at the Primark SS14 press day and I have been on the lookout ever since, by that I mean I asked jen every day if she'd seen it in store yet. Also, I'm really happy I wore this shirt, I bought it a couple of years ago in a charity shop and haven't really worn it much and I think it looks quite nice :D YAAAAY!
Going to keep this short and sweet, I'm bloody tired and it's about a million degrees in here, hot laptop on my legs is not great right now. I'm pretty sure I'll read this back in the morning and it's going to read a bit like a passage from Angus Thongs but hey ho.
I'll be back soon :)
