The Lost & Found is one of my favourite bars in Birmingham that I highly recommend you visit. They have a vibrant range of cocktails whether it's a classic mojito or their own unique 'Found Cocktails'. You'll find something you love. These sit alongside a beautiful menu of starters, mains, desserts and a lunch menu. The furnishings in the restaurant and bar add to its stylish, fresh atmosphere. The 'Botanical Garden' is the separate dining area, with it's quirky interior design from 'The Bar Behind the Bookcase', to the tiling on the floor. This all adds to it's charming vintage vibe. Each time I visit I find something new to love about the experience.
They have an irresistible food menu. I booked a table for 2.30pm on a Tuesday. We decided to go for the affordable sandwich and drink only £8. To my delight I could have a signature 'found cocktail'. I shared the 'Josper glazed peanut chicken skewers, spring onion, carrot, roasted nuts, satay sauce' to start with my boyfriend. It was so tasty we could have had one each with the sticky sweet flavour. I ate 'Steak, with horseradish cream, Béarnaise, watercress, parmesan, white rustic baguette' with added sweet potato fries for £2. It has to be one of THE best sandwiches I have had. The baguette was soft inside with a crisp outside, the steak was cooked to perfection and topped with Béarnaise sauce. It was mouth watering.
All the feel of a fine dining experience at an affordable price. The attention to detail and customer care make it well worth a visit if you are ever in town.

Today is all about this retro inspired dress. The whole look screams 60s chic; starting with the a-line dress, to the vintage side bag, down to the outstanding Orla Kiely heels. Adding subtle details throughout this look is really what makes it stand out. Adding glitter eyeliner to my make-up (see tutorial here), wearing ASOS 70s sunnies and having a beehive to add an effortless retro feel.

In this look I'm all about styling Monki. They've had a brilliant sale on recently which allowed me to get four dresses I have wanted for a good while; one of the dresses being this comfy, casual and chic dress. Dress it up or down, wear it in winter or summer, it's a brilliant versatile and timeless piece to have.

Top - ZARA ✿ Mom Jeans - Topshop ✿ Shoes - Topshop ✿ Bag - ModCloth
Spring has sprung! Embracing the sunshine and cool breeze, I wore my ZARA crop top and Topshop Mom jeans, with my adorable golden strap flats.
Mom jeans can be styled anyway you'd like and today I chose to be as girly as I could, so I decided my cat eye sunglasses, flower necklace and love letter bag would do just the job for me.
Ditching mini skirts for a midi skirt. Topshop have converted my style completely. I've always been one to show off my legs, (which I still will from time to time) but as I'm maturing I feel more me in a classic midi skirt. Styling my skirt with a fitted stripe top, a small handbag, lace up shoes and a coat over my shoulders; this look is very much inspired by the 1950s. It such a pretty outfit to brighten up the gloomy days we've been having!
If you are ever in Birmingham you must visit my favourite bar the Sun On The Hill. They play a great choice of music ranging from old School bands like the Smiths and the timeless Nirvana and more besides. There is a wide variety of drinks and the staff are all friendly and brilliant with the customers. The furnishings in the bar add to its stylish, welcoming atmosphere. The seating, the lighting and even 'The Sun On The Hill' painting on the wall (see video below) all help to create a cool modern retro vibe.
The atmosphere is always buzzing, with groups of friends catching up, people out to party and couples on dates. I always find myself singing along to the playlist in the background.
They have a fantastic food menu which I can't wait to try as the food looks delicious. They have a 'Breakfast menu', 'The Main Menu', 'The Mezzanine Menu' and a 'Sunday Menu'. They offer a great selection of what I call 'Pub Grub'. Well worth a visit if you are ever in town.
This look is one of my favourites from Autumn so far. This outfit is head to toe from Topshop. What can I say? They're really doing well this season.
A statement jumper is perfect for this time of year, it allows me to switch and swap skirts and keep wearing my favourite autumn knit. With a pop of colour, a 60's a line cut and 70's zip up front this skirt was almost made for me. Now as for my Judy shoes, they add the cherry on the cake and that added classy touch to my look.
