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

PROPERCORN : Food Product Review

Everyone enjoys a good munch in the evening and this truly is my biggest down fall!  Picture this... you crawl home from a busy day at the office and slide onto the sofa for a well deserved netflix and chill session.  Your halfway threw your favourite series episode and a serious case of the munchies kicks in.... But OH NO your on a diet!  Well worry no more, PROPERCORN is a low calorie snack but with all the flavour.  Guilt Free Goodness at its best.

The company are very proud of the fact that they are keeping people healthy.  As a fashion designer visual is always important to me and the cute and quirky designs would grab anyone eye straight off the shelf.  Fun branding all the way keeps this brand unique and fresh (literally).





  • Sweet & Salty
  • Lightly Sea Salted
  • Sweet Coconut & Vanilla 
  • Sour Cream & Chive
  • Fiery Worcester Sauce & Sun Dried Tomato





I literally love them all but if I had to pick my favourite it would have to be the Sweet Coconut and Vanilla.  Tho my partner in crime prefers the smooth peanut and almond (Peanuts arnt my jam).  I would love to try the new Twisted Honeycomb flavour as I def think its right up my street.

Its no secret that I am not the healthiest person but I do try and make some small substitutes like these and they really make all the difference in the grand scheme of things.  So next time your in Tesco or Asda pop over and grab a bag you wont be disappointed (Pun intended)

UrbanRagz at The Country Cabin Enniskillen Branch Boutique

Urban Rags at The Country Cabin has officially landed in Enniskillen and it's literally what we have been all waiting for but just didn't quite know it yet.  The Willy Wonka themed quirky boutique will take you into a world of pure imagination.  The best way to describe this store is simply a breath of fresh air,  Clashing prints and kitsch treasures all add up to create a real hidden cave of wonders.  The store is currently selling a ranges of gifts, kids wear, menswear, womenswear, shoes and interior items.  I found the store to have a great mix of great quality items at affordable prices which is always a plus.  Regardless of your taste I assure you that you will find something you love in this store.  At the mouth of christmas this is the perfect store to purchase all of your loved ones gifts and maybe a wee treat or two for yourself!

The Wish List:
I honestly could have purchased the whole shop!  But instead I snapped my favourite to die for pieces. These aren't necessarily the best items but the items I will 100% be purchasing in the near future or adding to my Santa list ;)

Everyone knows I love my novelty bags.  This four story clutch has me lusting after ultimate cuteness.

Florals are to die for any season but a personal recipe book with dividers to add your favourite starters, lunches, dinners and desserts is not only pretty but also practical.

As a self confessed tea addict, I am obsessed with cups and mugs.  With its simple design and quirky quote I am loving this one to the moon and back.

This canvas is giving me bohemian Fleetwood Mac vibes.  

More ceramics but this one comes with a matching box.  I have actually no need for another milk jug but strangely enough I am 100% sure I NEED this one.  Whats not to love.
