My little sister turned 20 on the 4th of Feb so we decided to go all out on the day and get completely glamed up at the fabulous vintage boutique Miss Dixie Belle's. We were treated to a glass of bubbly as we had our locks brushed and teased into wonderfully vintage styles. Rowans 50’s pin up look was created by Vanity Thrills Vintage Hair and my Doris Day inspired curls were put together by Hairball Alley.
We had a brilliant chat with all the girls and even got a glass of bubbly to sip on as we browsed the beautiful selection of clothing and accessories (10% off when you come in for styling!). Rowan purchased a pair of classic seamed tights to go with her outfit and Ariana hailed us a taxi so our hair wouldn’t get messed up in the wind, service or what!
We ventured back to mine to finish getting ready which consisted of make-up, tunes and vodka (the only way to prepare for a night out!). Due to the excessive amounts of gale force winds we decided to taxi it down to Browns on George St for drinks. We both had a Yellow Bird cocktail which consists of Koko Kanu coconut rum, liqueur 43, Appleton Estate VX rum and pineapple juice. Strong as hell! Not so keen on the many pineapple bits floating around in it (that’s just me!) but it was still pretty awesome. My lovely boyfriend Dan came down to meet us and then we all headed over to Khublai Khan's.
There we met the respective family and Rowans boyfriend (Iain) for the main event, DINNER! It was insanely good. I am a huge fan of meat on meat with a side of meat. Recommendations ahoy!
We then took a mystery tour too The Cannos Gait bar for Rowans surprise party. The night ended at The Banshee Labyrinth with some overly excited lassie bashing into our table and sending my beer flying all over my dress. I was highly un-amused to say the least! But all was well and we made it home in one piece. Big thanks to all the girls at Miss Dixie Belle's for giving us the best start to a wonderful evening. We shall be back!
