Friday was my partner's birthday so we spent the day doing a bit of shopping in Bicester then came home, got ready and went for dinner at Loch Fyne in Kenilworth - if you don't live within the Warwickshire region don't worry, there are a few Loch Fyne restaurants across the U.K. so I'm sure there's one close enough for you to try and not feel like reading this post is a complete waste of time!
So, as always I wear reasonably priced clothing and dress it up with expensive accessories, I love seeing how shocked people's faces are when they ask me how much my top was etc. and I tell them how cheap it is! The shoes and bag I teamed up with my outfit were my trusty first-love, Bianca Louboutins and my DKNY shoulder bag - the details and where you can buy these can be viewed in my 'Dinner In Birmingham' post. I never wear a lot of jewellery so on this night I just had my gold orb Vivienne Westwood necklace on.
I just put a burgundy cowl neck bodysuit from PrettyLittleThing with a pair of simple black trousers from H&M. The links below will take you to the products!

This outfit comes to a total of £23! So inexpensive and is so versatile, you can mix up the bodysuit with a skirt and the trousers with a different top and you get another 2 outfits!
Loch Fyne is mainly a seafood restaurant however does have dishes from 'the land'. I'm not into seafood really, it's more my partner but still the setting and presentation was just superb. The service and standard of food was absolutely flawless, I can definitely recommend the sirloin steak and creme brulee, my favourite dishes. Most main courses are between £15-£30 which I think is quite reasonably priced for a nice place with good quality food.
My favourite part of going out is getting ready! I fully had the intention of curling my hair but got too annoyed with it so it ended tied back in a low pony tail.

First time I have read your post really enjoyed it. I have been going to LochFyne for the last five years but still haven't got there, decided to make a conscious effort, I will be eating the seafood, love it. How are you at recommending makeup for the slightly older skin? I am after a primer and a finishing powder? Thanks in advance :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne! Thank you for reading :) a good primer for the slightly maturer skin is "L'oreal Studio Secrets - Smoothing Resurfacing Primer" you can get this from most drugstores, it's definitely in Superdrug, it's about £14. It's really good at masking any fine lines and evening out skin tone, it will help stop any other products from sinking too deep into fine lines which can sometimes make them look really deep! The best finishing powders (in my experience!) for the maturer skin types is a loose powder rather than compact, it's easier to control how much product you want on your face because if I product is too matte it can, again, make wrinkles seem a lot deep then what they actually are - a good product is the Clinique "Blended Face Powder" it comes with a little brush and retails around £23 off the top of my head! I would avoid making the face too matte with any products and stick to a dewy look so minimal powder - just enough to set - and a light/medium foundation coverage. I know the products I've recommended come with a bit of a price tag but with them both a little does go a long way! Hope that helps ! xxxx
DeleteThank you Jess that is a great help, I have some birthday money and wanted to spend it wisely :) I will let you know how I get on with it. xx
