What shall we do with a drunken sailor...

A few weeks back, I got some interesting post.. A message in a bottle (this is not a Sting quote). It was from Aussie Shampoo inviting me to a party. Best.Post.Ever.

So last Saturday, I ventured outside of London, to a far away place. Called Birmingham. I loved the tumbling down warehouses against the contrast of the slick Bullring.
While in Brummie, I deposited my bags in our slick hotel and met up with some of my nearest and dearest friends, Winnie from Diamond Canopy and Emily from My Fashion Life. Winnie is a brilliant tour guide of Birmingham, fyi.

We went to a flea market in the Bird's Custard Factory and ate some tasty cupcakes (token blogger snack of choice). Check out the nice graffiti! Other activities included a bus journey on a quest to deliver a birthday present and lusting after cheapandcheerful vintage gear in Cow Vintage.

The party started at seven in a tiki cocktail bar. The theme for the evening was Naughty Nautical, hence the Sailor Hat. On hand were hair stylists to answer any questions about what to do with dry hair and how to get the smoothest of smooth hair using Aussie products.

To top it all off, there was a cocktail masterclass.

So after some started cocktails, and making two Tom Collins, two Brambles, a Cosmo and some other fancy shot, topped off with a number of penalty shots, my memory gets fuzzy. Pictures can do the talking.

The next morning was not so nice. So instead of showing you a picture of me with a headache, I'll tell you about my outfit.

Jacket: Doesn't matter where I got it, I lost it that night like a fool, Dress: H! by Henry Holland (more on this baby another day), Shoes: Sonia Rykiel for H&M, also check out my Nauti-cool tattoo of an anchor

Doesn't Emily look great!
Thank you Aussie ladies, Emma, Michelle and Siobhan, for such a great night.
Peace y'all fi xx

PS As karma for my drunken sins, it took me 7hours to get home the next day. With a killer headache. And minus a jacket.
PPS Winnie has a great post about our adventures HERE!

Eeee love this post. So glad you loved my mini tour of Brum even though you lost that jacket. Sad times. What an amazing night though and we definitely won't be forgetting all those cocktails in a hurry.

Miss you both!
