Alice Tinted Glasses: What I Wore... NYE... Sequins, Sequins, Sequins!

So, I've been the worst blogger ever over Christmas and New Year (I hope everyone had a fab Christmas!) it's an extremely busy time of year and combined with work I feel like I've not stopped! I've also recently handed in my notice at my second job so this will mean I have more time for blogging and to actually have some free time!

Anyway for New Year myself and Ashton (Glitz, Glamour & Grunge) decided to go to Manchester, we didn't want to have a boring night in Derby and figured it wouldn't cost us much more than if we went out in Nottingham! We were debating between Warehouse Project and Albert Hall but as these were both sold out ticket prices were ridiculous!! We decided on two fab events at different bars next to each other. We got ready at our hotel as usually we were running slightly later than planned so ended up getting a taxi instead of the bus like we planned! We didn't mind and our hilarious hotel receptionist wouldn't allow us to leave without taking a photo of us, he said we looked absolutely fabulous and he needed to photograph us immediately!!

The first was Blossoms @ The Night and Day Cafe, we'd been wanting to see Blossoms for ages, they'd supported Courteeners on their last tour but as we are late for everything we missed out! They were absolutely fab and we saw in the New Year during their set, after the gig we stuck around for a bit before heading to Pop, Bubble, Rock @ Dry Bar where we continued the night into the early hours!

The next day were we feeling (surprisingly) quite fresh so decided to head to our fave food haunt Home Sweet Home for some late brunch! I usually go for the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, but it was quite nice to be able to sample the breakfast menu, I went for Steak and Eggs and we decided to share the Peanut Butter Milkshake. It was delicious!!

I decided to wear my absolute favourite dress for NYE, it's the most appropriate time for sequins I feel although the response we both got in them I feel like wearing them every day of the week!

I bought this dress off eBay its a vintage sequin dress initially for my work Christmas party but as it is so gorgeous I had to wear it again! I wore a couple of gold rings with the dress but didn't want to over accessorise it as the sequins do the talking!! On NYE I did however use a little glitter on my lips for that extra bit of sparkle!
