Miller and Carter Steakhouse review

So on Tuesday it was my old man's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than by going for a nice juicy steak. This was my third visit to the Miller and Carter and once again, I wasn't disappointed. Well known for it's steak, the Miller and Carter offers a whole range of delectable steaks along with some of the tastiest sauces and sides.I am not usually one for sticking to the same dishes when I go out, but knowing how good the food is here, I simply couldn't go for anything else. Mushrooms in a cheesy sauce with garlic bread to start, and Rib eye steak, chips with a side lettuce topped with bacon and honey mustard for my main. The food was unreal as usual, even though my steak was a bit too rare for my liking.

We arrived at the Miller and Carter around 6pm where there was not a sole in sight. Perfect - I can't say I am a huge fan of busy restaurants. After taking our seats overlooking the lake at Sutton Park, we were greeted by our waitress, the same lady who tends to serve us every time we pay the restaurant a visit. I don't know if that's just luck, but she's a pleasant little old lady nevertheless. In terms of the service, I would definitely recommend the Miller and Carter. A word of advice though, do book in advance if you can as it starts to fill up quickly after half 6 so you will find yourself waiting around for a table. On this particular evening, the restaurant were testing out a new menu so to speak, which didn't go down too well with the group of friends sitting next to us. However, I can't say there were any outrageous changes on their to cause a fuss about. 

Our bill came to a total of £75 which is amazing considering we ordered three starters, three mains and three alcoholic beverages. There wasn't room for a sweet this time round unfortunately but if I had the choice, I definitely would have gone for the chocolate brownie or Belgian chocolate ganache. A great evening with some great quality food; I would definitely recommend the Miller and Carter to those of you who enjoy a steak cooked to perfection along with some delicious extras.

T is for Tartan | OOTD

So yesterday it was my best friend Erica`s birthday and what better way to celebrate it than by going to a roller disco (old school I know). Now this is something neither one of my friends nor I had tried before, but of course were all very excited about. Beforehand we discussed how much each of used to love roller blading when we were younger and how good it would be to relive this at a organised indoors disco (yes it was as fun as it sounds). Funnily enough my main concern was what in the world do I wear? I pondered this for a while…

JEANS-too tight, a DRESS-too OTT, LEGGINGS- likely to split, a SKIRT…yes finally I decided a skirt would be best and I put together this little beauty. 

Even though it meant possibly risking my dignity, I luckily held myself together and by the end of the night even attempted to try a few tricks (not wise)...

I am in love with tartan, have been ever since the start of the season. I bought this skirt in fact a couple of months ago from New Look and love it! I know tartan has essentially been 'in' for quite a while now but this is the main thing I love about the tartan print, it without fails comes back into fashion year in year out. This particular skirt is one of the longer ones available on the high street but the colours are fab and it fits beautifully. I teamed this with a high neck black tank top from Topshop, then along with some simple accessories (jewellery from Topshop) and my PVC style boots (New Look) I was ready to go. I grabbed a simple black blazer (Primark) and my fur vintage coat and headed for a night filled with laughter, friends and a nearly broken neck...
