lovefromjessicax: Dinner in Birmingham

If you follow my instagram (jessslx) you will have seen quite a few (ok, a lot!) of pictures of my dinner date to Birmingham for my 5 year anniversary with my lovely fiance.

We went to Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse Restaurant which is within The Cube situated in Birmingham's city centre. It is not my first time visiting this restaurant, I've actually been quite a few times, but it is my absolute favorite that is within a reasonable travelling distance. The view from your table is amazing as the restaurant is on the 25th floor. I love the subtle lighting which makes your meal really intimate and the staff are so friendly, your glass is never empty!

I am more of a sweet tooth so always skip starters, I had Chateaubriand steak cooked rare, which was superb, and the sticky toffee pudding with lots of strawberry daiquiris to wash it down!

I love the build up to the night out, ordering a new dress etc!

This evening, I went for a plain burgundy asymmetric dress, team with a pair of Bianca Louboutins and a DKNY quilted shoulder bag.

Outfit Details:

Dress: Pretty Little Thing - https://www.prettylittlething.com/ - £12 (Bargain Alert!!)

Bag: DKNY - http://www.harveynichols.com/ - £225 - I actually brought mine from The Mint Company but they aren't available in the UK

Shoes: Christian Louboutin - £545 - http://eu.christianlouboutin.com/

I added a Michael Kors watch as a simple detail, this watch was a gift but I've found the exact one from The Watch Shop site which is at a great price! - http://www.watchshop.com

So I know some of the accessories can be a bit pricey or perhaps you just aren't into designer items, below are a few similar pieces that are for all budgets!
