Marco Pierre White | Birthday

I spent the past weekend in town with my boyfriend for his birthday, and we went for a pretty special meal at Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse Bar & Grill at The Cube.

Gorgeous views, beautiful, filling food and some really amazing cocktails made this the most perfect birthday treat.

It's seriously worth spending the extra for a window seat, as the views across Birmingham add a special touch, and the rooftop terrace across from the bar is stunning!

The Laurent-Perrier champagne bar on the same floor is another must-visit, and we rounded off our meal with another drink overlooking The Mailbox - such an amazing birds-eye view!

From Brighton With Love | DAY 1

Earlier this week I went on a short break to Brighton with my boyfriend and two of our close friends. We had such an amazing time exploring the Lanes and chilling by the seaside (Not to mention spending way too much on arcade games!)

*Still haven't posted the Barcelona pictures, I know, but they really need to get organised so thought I'd update with a short series first ^_^!*

Here are a few of my favourite moments from Day 1 of our trip...

Travelling there was so easy! We'd pre-booked trains and all our changes were made so quickly - after 4 *Surprisingly short-feeling* hours or so we'd made it and I'd already fallen in love with the train station!

 After dropping our bags off at the hotel we took a walk to The Lanes (So nearby!) and found a really cute pub called The Mesmerist. Not only did they have some pretty cool wall-art, but they also had a photobooth! (Which I later realised was a pretty regular occurrence in the pubs/bars nearby - go Brighton! XD) alongside some of the best burgers we'd had in a while! *I went for the chilli-burger, and all were served with chips coated in spice - so good!*

 

Things can change in a day | Back-up

Had a perfect few months since I last posted, a lot has changed and so much for the better. Promise I'll be back in a matter of weeks once exams are over, till then here's a taster of what's to come..

Exploring the City

Welcome back!

Just a few pictures I wanted to share of a really cute day spent exploring Birmingham. Consisting of drinks, cocktails and a lot of food, I can never get tired of this city.

I'm a total sucker for some amazing architecture~!

Finally tried out the Jekyll and Hyde, a lost-but-found treasure tucked away just shy of the city center and their cocktails are heaven! It's the perfect place to sit back and enjoy something you won't find in many other places - sweet-flavoured drinks that wouldn't be out of place in Wonderland!

Great atmosphere and quirky setting, perfect for an evening out with a twist!
