Ladyboys of Bangkok Custom House Square Belfast 2016 - Best Dressed Socials

The Lady Boys are officially back in town so naturally the Belfast social scene has flocked to Custom House Square to enjoy one of the best acts to grace Belfast.  The Lady Boys is always a excuse to wear your most dramatic looks and the crowd didn't disappoint this year.  The First night which I attended was exclusive for Northern Ireland's top bloggers, media and socialites.

Local Talent and  Entertainer Titti Von Tramp rivalled the acts on stage with this amazing sequined dress and legs that dont stop.

Louise Vance mixed classic with showgirl in this sophisticated look with some added glam in the form of her glitzy top.

Denise Robinson was winter chic in a cosy chunky jumper in a all white look.  The brown boots give this look a cute country twist.

John Gerard did sexy in a sheer bodysuit and skin tight jeans his bling necklace was very appropriate for the event.  Neil Coogan was giving us all kinds of male model vibes in a layered look, I especially loved his wide collared navy coat which added a different dimension to his all black look.

Derek Dubery and Lisa CB matched in all black everything.  Dereks faux fur coat with large brooch was statement although I liked how he kept the look classic by keeping it all the the same colour.  Lisas wide cuffs and diamante detailing were very glamours paired with a statement necklace.

Oversized winter coats is one of my favourite trends each season.  The sisters stylishly matched with their statement winter warmers.  Emer Dorris looked like a elegant movie star in her stand out white faux fur coat with always on trend stripe detailing where as Megan Dorris was city ready in her girl about town over sized coat, I especially adored her patent boots adding texture to the look.

Danielle McCrea wore beautiful blush and neutral tones which complemented her fair hair.  Her statement hat and lace up boots gave her look a more quirky edge.

Gemma Garret wore the most flattering jeans.  I told her personally on the night she had the best bottom of the show when she was dragged on stage for some audience involvement.  You can never go wrong with a black stiletto heel .  Gemma kept it simple and added a wow over sized bag to upgrade her look.

Kim Kelly and Stephanie Loughrey were ready to paint the town read in body con fitted dresses which emphased their perfect curves.


Emily Hancock wore her trademark over sized hat and embraced the country heritage trend which is huge this season.  Burgundy is also very popular at the min and I loved how she matched her scarf to lip colour.  

The Lady Boys new cabaret inspired show “Forever Yours is in its 18th season.  They performed a whole host of musical numbers including some of the nation’s most loved tunes.  Guests  will be refreshed with a full bar and can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine courtesy of the Sabai Pavillion’s resident chef, at their fantastic Custom House Square location.  The show runs until Saturday 19th November and tickets are available from the Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609 or alternatively online at www.ladyboysofbangkok.co.uk

New Years Eve Outfit

This year for New Years Eve myself and my partner decided to take a relaxing break to The Great Northern Hotel, Donegal Ireland (Separate blog to come).  The hotel is a luxurious 4* venue with plush furnishing and designer detailing so I planned an outfit which was equally as glamorous.

On new years eve I was spolit to a 4 course meal in a stunning ballroom setting.

The dress is from Chi Chi London.  I am a big fan of black and gold together.  I think the contrast between the metallic gold threads and deep black shade really embraces the detailing in the lace.  The fit of the dress is very 50s with a built in underskirt which means you don't have to add any tulle.  The best part of this dress is it has a slight built in bra so firstly you don't have to go searching for your matching strap less bra and secondly if your like me and suffer from any kind of back injury you can have a comfortable night bra free!  I am quite tall at 5"9 so I find it hard to find nice trendy dresses which are not an odd length on me or even worse too short.  However this dress gracefully sits just on my knee so I don't have to worry about awkwardly pulling down my dress every few minutes. 

Dress - Chi Chi London Clara Dress £66.99
Shoes - ASOS.com Blush Vivienne Westwood Flats £85

 The shoes I choose are a pair of my Melissa Vivienne Westwoods in a neutral blush colour with very cute gold metal orbs on the front.  I really splurged on these just before Christmas (naughty girl) so these will be seeing  frequent outings to justify  my shopaholic actions.

I accessorised with my trusty gold Michael Kors watch and my new Pluck and Devour necklace by local leading fashion designer Grainne Maher.  My sister bought this necklace for me for Christmas and even tho I wore it for a bit on Christmas day at my mothers house I felt like this was its first real outing.   I have the larger necklace of this in a different colour but what I love about the mini version is it sits at a nice length and is the perfect size that can be wore on a daily basis without being too dressy.  This is the gold mirror version but it also comes in a range of other colours and glitter versions.  I have set my eye on a red glitter one next.

Necklace - grainnemaher.com Mini Pegasus £25
or Grainne Maher : : Vault Spires mall, Belfast

 My bag was also a Christmas gift from my boyfriend.  As a textile designer I have always been a fan of texture so this adorable 3D flower bag was just perfect for me in my favouite colours.  Unlike alot of Clutch bags I own the bag is quite big so you can get all your bits in it including your ipad,  perfect for a blogger on the run. 

Bag - New Look 3D flower bag £24.99
 Nail Polish - Estee Lauder Brushed Gold

I had my nails espically done for the night.  Nails are Estee lauder Brushed Gold polish (undercoat and three layers)  I love the metallic finish of this polish which look really good beside the bag.  

Cape - TK Maxx

To finish I draped a tartan cape over my shoulders to fit in the the country chic feel of the venue.  The cape was a great find by my sister in a TK Maxx store a few years ago but as she never wore it I decided to buy it off her and upstyle it by making it more fitted and adding a navy trim.  Its so warm and cosy I love wearing it with my navy leather gloves.  Its doultful you can find it in store now but I have seen very simular ones for sale in the Belfast store recently so good luck!

Thank you for viewing my NYE outfit.
I hope you loved it as much as I did.
See you all soon and Happy New Year!
Peace and Love
