Daytime

Saturday involved shooting with Lucy in the morning, then a sunny alcoholic picnic in Hyde Park for lunch. After getting a bit tipsy, me and Jo headed to get our makeup done at Bobbie Brown in Selfridges.

Super excited for our makeup experience - which is by the way absolutely free - Amazing! We headed to Selfridges with a quick bit of shopping on the way.  

Bobbie Brown Makeup Sesh - Selfridges 

Jo got her eyes done and I went for the radiant beauty.... Well it all started off well with us taking off our makeup and answering a series of questions about what look we wanted. Jo said she wanted a light subtle eye to open up her eyes and make them look bigger, and I just wanted a glam look for the evening.. 
 Jo wouldn't remove her sunnies.... 

Night time - Cirque Le Soir 

After re-doing our makeup, we headed out to Cirque Le Soir. It's been shut for about 5 months after a fire broke out in December.. Safe to say we were really excited to see what it was like! 


We had an amazing night.. great music, crazy acts and fire eaters, too much alcohol and so much dancing I ripped my skirt...FML.

It made it's come back in style, with completely refurbished interiors and a new layout, there was a bouncy castle, new acts.. a dwarf in bondage hanging from the celling.. yep that happened.. and of course some amazing burlesque performers. 

We were thankful for queue jump as the queue went all the way to the end of the street! With Cirque being such a favourite for many people this was kind of inevitable. 

Overall a tip top night.. equaling in me being ridiculously hungover on Sunday with one very sad looking skirt... 

So being the avid party girl I was back at university when I was studying at London College of Fashion, I think it's now time for me to pass the torch onto a younger generation.. Not that I don't go out anymore! Just not 3/4 times a week..cry me a river.. yes I'm only 22 and I'm a complete grandma settling down with my house and hubby.. but ya know whatever makes you happy! Plus I still reminis on my university days and go visit my old haunts!

So first things first girls, London nightlife.. Theres the expensive side and the even more expensive side.. and you know what.. it will surprise you it's actually cheaper to go out in Mayfair! Play your cards right and you can wangle free entry and free drinks like I used to do.. combined with a night bus home, the night cost a total of £3.70 WIN

East London is cool, but when you have to buy some expensive hipster drinks and pay to get in.. and you end up going to more than one place.. it end's up being an expensive night! Plus I'm a Mayfair girl through and through!

So top tips!
1. Always wear heels - even if they're just heeled boots - otherwise you won't get in.. (this only apply's to Mayfair)

2.Black is always the preferred colour, no Jane Norman.. Yes I have seen a girl in a Jane Norman classic turquoise dress... and no socks and open toed heels.. I can promise you this is not fashionable

3.Make sure you're in good company.. there's nothing more embarrassing then a friend wiping out on the table with a bottle of Vodka worth £250..

Nightclubs to head to:

1. For a crazy night out, with mad performers, and amazing interiors - Cirque Le Soir is your place (Door girl is strict so make sure you look hot and are on a guest list)


2. Bodos - chilled out, the parties already started by the time you get there at 11.00pm and music is insane - 90's hip hop mixed with current pop springs to mind

3. Mahiki - everyone knows what this place is.. I don't need to explain - plus it has the most amazing food!

4. The Box - this is not for the faint hearted.. you will feel a bit ill watching some of the performances - but for a tip top insane night that you will probably end up crawling out of the club into a taxi (a personal experience) this is the club for you!


5. This is tie between Libertine and Project - there the classic nightclub with crazy lights and great music - always a good night out
