Review || Turtle Bay Carribean Restaurant

Morning, Lovelies!

I love food. It is my passion. Good food is something that I cannot resist and after hearing so many positive comments about Turtle Bay in Nottingham, I just had to finally pay them a visit!

I have previously been to Turtle Bay, but only for drinks rather than food on a number of occasions. Their cocktails are to DIE for! Kieran and I were lucky enough to make it just on time for Happy Hour which meant that we got our drinks 2 for 1.


We shared our started as neither of us can ever finish a starter to ourselves with a main! We went for the vegetable stuffed rotis which were delicious. They were quite spicy, but that's what made them so incredible and yummy!


For the main, I chose the seafood curry as I wanted something light. It was nice, however the massive prawn creeped me out a bit and slightly put me off my meal.


Kieran went for the chicken (surprise, surprise). He really enjoyed it, however he did complain about the size of the meal as it was rather small and he had asked for fries but received sweet potato fries which he doesn't usually like, but actually scoffed them in under 5 minutes! I tried one and I really liked them so I don't blame him at all!

Overall, the food was good but not amazing. But what can you expect for the price? It was quite cheap. The service on the other hand was great. The waiter kept coming back to our table asking if there was anything else we needed and if the food was alright. So, thank you Turtle Bay Nottingham for providing us with lovely service!

Have you been to Turtle Bay? What did you think of their food and service?

Lots of love,

OOTD || Day-Night Look, From the Office to Cocktails with the Girls

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope that everybody's had/having a nice Easter and got lots of delicious chocolate eggs, I certainly have! I realised that I haven't blogged about fashion for a while so thought I'd share with you an outfit of the day.


I'm wearing a long-sleeved playsuit from H&M which is my current favourite outfit. It is so easy to accessorise and is suitable for any occasion. Unfortunately, they are all sold out on the website now but I have found a few similar to the one that I'm wearing. 


I thought this outfit would be perfect for a two-in-one look to wear to work (especially for those who work in the fashion industry) and then it can easily be accessorised for a night-time look, such as going out for drinks with your friends.



Yes, I am aware that you can see my dad's reflection in my sunglasses - I don't know how to edit him out! I would appreciate any tips you have in order to do that, below in the comment section!
I'm wearing a big cotton floppy hat from Primark, I believe it was around £6-8.


My sunglasses are by Oscar De La Renta and I got these from TKMaxx for around £16. I'm wearing MAC Brave on my lips, lined with MAC's Dervish lip liner.


My gorgeous bag is from Primark and it only cost me £6. I take it with me everywhere as it's so spacious! It might not look it, but I can fit a lot of things in there! Usually my whole purse and a few makeup items, as well as pocket tissues, house keys etc.


I really think that waist belts are much underrated nowadays. They can make a simple outfit go from a 6 to a 10 instantly. Not that this gorgeous playsuit needed a belt - I just love to accessorise!


I actually forgot to put my Micheal Kors watch on before having my pictures taken, but I thought that it'll go great with this outfit because of its navy and gold shades.


These pointy loafers from New Look only cost me £6 in the sale last year! I absolutely love them and wear them all the time. I think they add a nice touch to this outfit and are comfy to wear all day at work and don't look too casual for a night out.


My gorgeous name necklace was a gift from my boyfriend, and the other was a gift from one of my closest friends that I received for my 20th this year. I think it's from Accessorize.

Lots of love,

Pre-University Celebrations

Good Evening Fashionistas!
I wanted to share with you one of the most special night out I've had recently. It was for one of my best friend Robyn's 18th birthday meal and we had such a blast! Our friendship group is so perfect, I wouldn't change it for the world. As we have all decided to do something different with our lives this year, we won't be able to see each other as often as we used to which makes me very sad as I just cannot live without those girlies! They are the butter to my toast and the milk to my tea with a hint of brandy ;) For our last night out together we went to celebrate Robyn's birthday at the Fat Cat Restaurant which gives 50% off on food and 20% off on drinks with an NUS card! How amazing is that?! The food was amazing. We all ordered a round of cocktails, and mocktails is some cases! Overall we had virgin strawberry daquiris, pina coladas, and screaming orgasms. They were all so delicious!! You cannot go wrong with a 2 4 1 offer! I ordered garlic green beans as my side and a avocado chicken couscous salad as the main. OH MY GOD were they delicious or what?! It was the nicest meal I've had in ages, it was so girly and cute I loved it!!! For dessert I ordered the apple crumble which came in a milkshake glass with ice cream!! Oh sweet Jesus, it was the best apple crumble I've had in my entire life! It was just so perfect, I can't even describe it. I reckon that's what rainbows taste like!!! Anyway, I've attached some photos from my night out in this post, hope you guys enjoyed reading about my fantastic night out!!
Cute little outfit, very appropriate for raving at Rock City!!
Lots of love,
