OOTD for Sushi Samba - Silk blue floor length dress

Hey lovely ladies, 

Here is my outfit of the day - it's more elegant than I normally wear as it was a special occasion - going to Sushi Samba in London.  It is a bespoke dress made to measure by an Italian little known stylist - I'd been saving it for a special occasion and I thought  Sushi Samba would have been the perfect occasion - however, as you'll see later I was so so disappointed!

The dress 

The dress is delicate floor length and elegant with a simple high neck and jeweled detail.  It is fitted on the waist with a with a ribbon belt with the same jeweled details and with low cut sleeves. I love the petrol blue of this dress as the colour is so strong it matches the dresses simple detail.  I think this sort of design is perfect for Christmas parties with its jazzy jewels and strong colour, to make a change  of the little black dress.

 Sorry for the blurry last image....they all came out like that but I wanted to show you how long it was!

The dress is in a fine silk and I matched it with a simple Zara leather jacket.

And how was Sushi Samba?????

 Sushi Samba was so cold I had to leave my jacket on all evening. They also didn't bring our drinks until 5 minutes after the food had arrived.

 As for the food - I was so disappointed.  I inquired about the Moqueca Mista and asked if it came with sauce or not - and the waitress didn't seem to understand me.  It turns out that this sharing plate is in fact pints of sickly sweet sauce and with just one prawn and some scarce scatterings of mussels There's also overcooked bright green rice in the middle.  I know I'm spoiled having my other half who is a chef, however, I think anybody would have returned this dish.  I complained about it and the waitress didn't understand, smiled and waltzed off.

We ended up spending a fortune there and didn't enjoy unfortunately, despite it being an anniversary celebration....oh well....... maybe I'll have better luck next time

Dim Sum at Yauatcha & outfit of the day!

I'm a total foodie.  Whether it's a home cooked meal or at a restaurant, there's nothing I love more than beautiful food.

I recently went to Aqua-Hutong at the Shard and it got me in the mood for Chinese as we had exceptional dim sum there.  So since then, I decided to visit Yauatcha, a Chinese restaurant in the heart of Soho which serves immaculate presented Dim Sum in a laid back serene atmosphere.

Scallop Dim Sum

Green Tea dessert, peach melba & apricot and pistachio mille feuille

We ordered so so much that I actually forgot to take photos of the main course but I did actually order this scallop dimsum that you can see in the picture aobve which I got form their site! Their crispy duck was served with delicious handmade pancakes and the  Kung Pao chicken was simply delicious. I did remember to take pictures of the fabulous deserts though!  I would definitely recommend this to chinese food lovers!

It's a really laid back restaurant, so I decided to dress smart casually, with a floaty antique pink top & jeans.

Hair & Makeup

I kept my makeup natural, focusing on clear skin with YSL teint touche ecalit foundation and YSL powder in Radiance, with a dash of Benefit They're Real mascara and some cherry kissbalm from Kiko in a balmy fuschia.

My hair I just whipped up into a messy bun to keep to the informal look

Hope you like my outfit for Yauatcha! Have you been? xxxx

Zara Outfit of the day

Hello lovely ladies, 

Here's today's outfit - almost all Zara!  It's a beautiful sunny day today in London, but still not quite warm enough for a summer dress.

I've opted for Zara's light sky blue basic satin trousers (see it here), with a white sweater with transparent shoulders (see it here).  It's such a light an airy outfit it's perfect for these beautiful summer days.

I matched it with these stunning cream ugg wedges (similar here) which are my absolutely 'must' summer staple and this beautiful dark blue clutch from Accessorize - (similar here).  This clutch holds absolutely everything and can also be worn on the shoulder, perfect for taking to the park!

Makeup all Benefit Cosmetics - Benefit pore-fessional primer, Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous, Benefit hoola bronzer, Benefit Dallas Blush, Benefit Badgal Lash and Badgal waterproof eyeliner

 I love walking through London on sunny days like these

Wow, I think I overdid it with the pictures! But I hope you like my Zara summer outfit.  Have you got any summer musthaves?

Look Book: Monochrome

Hello again my beauties,

As promised here's a look which I wore this bank holiday weekend.  It was a beautiful sunny day in London but still a bit chilly so I made sure I wore something with a jacket!

Ciao di nuovo le lie belezze!

Come vi avevo promesso, qui sotto c'e' un un stile che ho indossato durante la ferria.  E' stato una bellissima giorno con sole a Londra, ma facceva ancora un po' di freddo quindi ho portato questa giaccia di pelle!

I'm a girl who definitely keeps things simple and classic - you're rarely see me wearing wacky colours and combinations in either my makeup choices or from my wardrobe.  I like this look as it is casual yet chic.

Sono una personna che piace  le cose semplice e classica.  Raramente si puo trovare le colore forte  nell mio armadio o nella mia colezzione di trucchi.

I'm wearing:
Leather effect leggings from Urban Outfitters (this season).
Love and drugs oversized t-shirt from Urban Outfitters (this season).
Leather jacket from Zara (last season)
Oversized sunglasses from Chanel (last season)
Black handbag from Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir (on going)

Makeup
There's a lot of black going on with the outfit so I didn't want to my makeup to be too heavy otherwise it might have been a bit of overkill.  I lined the eyes with a blend of black and gold eyeshadow but kept it fairly light.  There was also lashings of mascara and a light pink lipgloss.

Non volevo rischiare di essero troppo nero in questo abito, quindi mi sono trucchata leggermente per non sembrare essagerato.  Ho applicato solo un po' di matita nera con ombretto oro.  Dopo ho messo mascara e' un gloss fuscia per le labre.
