Loved and loathed at the NTAs 2016

 Last night saw the UK's most loved TV stars take to the red carpet and as usual, floods of fashion journalists are profiling the best and worst dressed in this mornings papers. Now, i'm a strong believer in the power of a little black dress and the idea of less is more, so I've pulled together my favourites and least favourites from last nights event. 

LOVE


Alison King. Coronation Street 

Love love love this outfit, Alison pulls of a classy look but stays flirty with a cut out in the middle, she also adds fun with a splash of orange on the feet. A matching orange bag would have pulled the whole outfit together! 


Caroline Flack. The X Factor 

Caroline Flack has proven peter pan collars are still on trend with this cute little dress. Although, a little plain for one of the biggest award shows of the years, she still pulled it off and looked effortlessly chic. 


Holly Willoughby. This Morning, Suprise Suprise, Celebrity Juice

A round of applause for Holly Willoughby, who always manages to look absolutely amazing! This figure hugging, floor length dress complimented her curves perfectly and paired with big curly hair she was definitely up there with my best dressed! 


Vicky Pattinson. Geordie Shore, I'm A Celebrity, Loose Women

With a very similar dress to Holly's, Vicky also looked completely stunning, Vicky swapped her Geordie Shore reputation for an extremely classy dress, showcasing the Vicky we fell in love with on I'm A Celebrity. 


Natalie Anderson. Emmerdale

Another quite simple dress was chosen by Natalie Anderson. This floor-length dress bought some colour to the red carpet, with a lot of others opting for black and white. Her gold accessories added matched perfectly.

NOT SO MUCH LOVE


Emma Willis. The Voice, Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother 

Emma Willis is my all time fave, and normally looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! But...what? This dress isn't doing much for me, I think it's quite outdated! 


Fearne McCann. The Only Way Is Essex, I'm A Celebrity

Love Fearne on TOWIE and she did great in I'm A Celebrity, but I don't always agree with her choices of outfits.. this being one of them. I like the lace top and think the colours work well together, but the bottom of the dress kind of reminds me of some curtains... sorry Fearne! 


Jorgie Porter. Hollyoaks, I'm A Celebrity

Jorgie dissapointed me in I'm A Celebrity, she didn't really bring that much to the show, and she dissapointed me further on the red carpet - no one wants to see those bum cheeks! Love the hair and make-up though.


Lydia Bright. The Only Way Is Essex

I love Lydia in TOWIE and she normally looks so so gorgeous in everything she wears, but i'm really not a fan of this outfit. It's not awful, but she just could and normally does look so much better.

Lobster, wine and good company

Lobster, wine and good company – what more could you want? And that is exactly what last night consisted of when I finally got round to trying Nosh & Quaff.

Nosh & Quaff is one of the new restaurants to join the city in 2015 – and it has had everybody talking. From the #LetsGetMessy on Twitter, to the pictures of everyone in lobster bibs, it seems to be talked about everywhere and I’ve been looking forward to trying it for ages!

We booked a table as we were told how busy it gets, and we were seated straight away by a lovely waitress. We ordered our drinks, and soon after our food and it all came within less than 10 minutes, which I found rather strange – but it was hot and cooked absolutely fine so, no problem!

The menu didn’t offer a huge selection, if I’m totally honest. However, I didn’t mind, as I was planning to have the lobster either way – but I guess it might be annoying if you go regularly as there isn’t a lot of choice. The burgers and ribs also looked amazing, and I think if I went again I would opt for a burger as they were huge and smelt delicious.

My lobster came with a gorgeous lemon and garlic sauce which complemented it perfectly alongside the chips and salad. It was so nice and I would definitely recommend it, although it is expensive, so I personally won’t be rushing back. I didn’t have a pudding although the sharing waffle was tempting…

Have you tried Nosh & Quaff? What did you think?
