Aztec by the Marina: Ibiza Dinner Outfit
As soon as I saw this bodycon dress on the River Island display window, the bright colours and the aztec type print grabbed my attention and I knew I just had to have it! It is a sexy fit, snug in all the right places, midi length, and would be a perfect date dress!
Do you have one of those nights when you have to go out but you really cannot be bothered to dress up?
My friend really wanted to go to a hip hop night in Barcelona called Jamboree but to be honest, I was so tired I just wanted to cosy up in bed with a mug of earl grey and watch spanish tv. I decided to 'take one for the team' but I could only muster up enough energy to put on this off shoulder white t-shirt from Zara, high waist vintage shorts and a plain pair of single strap heels also from Zara. Yes, I couldn't resist buying the red sandals in a different colour! Shame on me lol.
Anyway, you really cant go wrong with a casual white top and jeans combo on lazy days, and I thought the outfit was pretty decent for a night out on the town! I jazzed it up a little with my chunky gold and black necklace from Primark - that's it, good to go!
Anyone else have an 'I-can't-be-bothered-tonight' outfit? I need to stock up on those!
That was our last night in Barcelona, my favorite bit of the holiday is up next! :-D
So I created a mini outfit of the day and night video on my Paris outfits for my youtube channel and thought I'd share it here too... enjoy the serene Parisian music and flashing eiffel tower lights lol!
I was only in Paris for one full day but the next stop is Barcelona, so more outfit posts and lookbooks to come!
I was a greasy mess by the end of the night, but it was worth it!
What an amazing night!
So I had no plans to actually party on saturday night, I have been working hard and juggling so many things that I just wanted to lie in. However, my friend and I went for drinks in shoreditch and the buzz everywhere was amazing! Everyone was keen to enjoy the last night the athletes would be in town so Ness and I ran home, quickly got changed and headed to Movida in London's west end.
Movida certainly delivered! I met some incredible people, no groupie lol, and had so much fun! Everyone was there to dance and have fun so that was nice to see.
Nas was there too but I missed out on a picture with him! :-(
Usain bolt though, was incredibly personable! which was nice to see because he'd been giving the impression of cockiness since his success in the games. To be honest, I'd be feeling myself too if I was the fastest woman in the planet! I loved the way he interacted with people in the crowd, he came up behind me and teased me! I had no idea he was behind behind me until everyone started screaming! I thought id ripped my dress or something cringe like that so I was relieved when I turned around that I gave him a MASSIVE hug! :)
