Ahhhh, Valentines Day - you either love it or hate it. Whether you're part of a loved up couple or you are a strong, independent girl who don't need no man (sorry - I had to). Or are you a single girl who hates how loved up all her friends are, or part of a relationship thinking why do we celebrate just one day a year? I don't really know where I fall in. I am part of a loving relationship, and I was looking forward to spending the evening with Brad but at the same time I get the whole you should love each other every day argument! Anyway... for our Valentines day celebrations we went out for a 3 course meal at a local Vintage Inns restaurant.
Wearing: My go-to River Island skinny jeans(love!!), a white peplum style top from Primark and a very light pale pink blazer also from Primark (I am absolutely loving Primark's spring collection right now) Then I paired the outfit with Topshop nude heels and my (moms) nude handbag from Next.
Accessories: Pandora ring, Miss Selfridge earrings, Olivia Burton watch.
Make-up: Rimmel London Wake Me Up foundation in Classic Beige, Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer in Classic Beige and Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer in True Ivory, Sleek Contour and Blush palette, Sleek Highlighter, 'Nooner' and 'Buzz' from Naked 3 Palette, Maybelline New York Falsies Mascara, Kate Moss' Mascara for Rimmel London(Amazing - review coming soon!!) Rimmel London eye brow pencil in 002 Hazel and the perfect pair on my lips.
Starter: I had baked Cornish brie and onion marmalade brûlée! It would be an understatement to say this was incredible - I love brie anyway, and if it is on the menu I will always have it - but in the past I've only known restaurants to do brie with cranberry sauce, so this was a lovely change. It was so so tasty and I would definitely recommend. Bradley had Duck Rillettes which looked a bit like a pate, and came with toasted brioche and a fig and dates chutney - he said it was lovely.
Main: For my main I (obviously) had steak - I absolutely love steak and have it every time I go to this restaurant! I had an 8oz sirloin on this occasion and it came with (huge) onion rings, mushrooms, tomato and chips. Bradley had sea bass which came with a chorizo and chickpea stew - it looked nice, but I don't really like this kind of meal, but he enjoyed it. Obviously he had to order chips as a side (typical!)
Dessert: Ugh, how did I even manage dessert? I was so completely full by the time it came. I definitely ordered the biggest thing on the menu as well(good one jowd) Cookies and Ice-cream was once again faultless. The huge portion of cookie came with different ice creams, cream and sauces. Bradley had raspberry creme brûlée - he was very jealous of the size of my pud though - but he did get the best of both worlds as I couldn't finish mine so he had to 'save the day'! (Again, typical!)
How did you all spend Valentines Day?!
