So yesterday I fulfilled my duty as a member of womankind and went to see Sex and the City 2... and I loved it!
Personally I thought it was much better than the first film, although a lot of the reviews say otherwise. I went with the girlies for my friend Connie's birthday and we all had a right giggle. There are sooooo many good looking men in it that I recommend you go to see it asap if you haven't yet just for the fitties! I thought on the whole it was really funny and a good 2 hours and a half of escapism.
The outfits in it were also amazing! I might do a blog on here in the near future about how you can get some of their looks for less on the high street, as although they were stunning I hear the wardrobe budget for the film was $10,000,000!!
I went to see the film at the cutest cinema ever! Its called the 'Electric Cinema' in Birmingham city centre. Apparently its the oldest working cinema in the UK (in the 80s it went through a phase of only showing horror and porn!). Although I should clarify that its not like this any more, and is a lot more mainstream, although it does still show a lot of arty, independent films too. Our tickets were little old fashioned ticket stubs, and in the actual cinema there are comfy sofas you can sit on behind the normal cinema seats. It even has a bar, and if you want a drink mid-film you can text a waiter who will bring you one - its amazing! And after all this, it wasn't even particularly expensive - our student tickets were £4.50, which if anything is cheap.
I would definitely recommend a visit if you are around the area - it made going to see SATC 2 that little bit more special!
About 10 minutes before I was about to leave I got a text from my friend saying everyone was wearing dresses so I quickly had to change! As we were going to see the film at midday I didn't want to be too dressy, but I wanted it to be kind of special because we were going for a meal afterwards. My dress is from New Look with ruffly black and white stripes. I love it because it isn't fitted so if I go out for a meal and stuff myself it doesn't show - always something I consider! My boyfriend does say I look like a giant humbug though! My blazer is also from New Look and its so useful that I wear it all the time. My scarf is H&M which I used just to add a bit of colour to the outfit.
My shoes are black t-bar heels from George at Asda of all places! They were only about £15 and they are soooo comfy. I wore them to work all the time last year when I was on my placement from uni, and I wouldn't normally wear them out, but hey, I was in a rush and I actually think they looked ok.
My bag is one of my favourite things I own, which I got in the River Island sale. I love all the zips and studs, and its pretty big which I need for all the stuff I carry around with me on a daily basis. I know I need a new handbag that is a bit more 'summery' than this one, but I can't tear myself away from it!!
What do you think of my outfit? Not perfect, but not too bad for 10 minutes notice!
I'm in Ipswich for a couple of days now and am off to the Suffolk Show tomorrow, so I'll definitely keep you updated on my time in East Anglia!
