How to party: Pt.1

"Dear Diana, please could you do a post about Nightlife? I've just turned 18, and I don't know where to start. I would love to learn about it all. You are my inspiration. Love, Elizabeth x"

- So the way you're wearing these, it means you're sexual, and bossy.
D- I hate you. I'm putting all my rings on my "conflict" finger.

[bump into ex]

D- Hey you
- Hey..i'll get you a drink
D- okay. How are you??
- Good. Better now that you're here, I was feeling really short
*slap*
D- fck off! my heels are really high too, look
- oh my god they are
D- My table is full of models as well but i got them to sit down

Oh my god Victoria, I had Not seen this video!! i love you : P

outfit of the night - Dinner/Drinks

It's unusual that I'll get time to take photos before rushing off, but I'm doing really well lately!

I'm not gonna lie, I had four vodka martinis with champagne and i am rather..giggly, right now. But I'll post sober "before" pictures below:

miu miu patent heels


Ralph Lauren blouse, grey Topshop velvet skirt, Wolford black sheer tights, Lanvin bag



Hair styled with the Cloud 9 The O. More about that later. Makeup is Chanel Misty Soft eyeshadow (I always say that wong. Correct me), and the usuals Laura Mercier..nothing (yet) on lips, but I ended up wearing YSL Rouge Pur Couture Blonde Ingenue (very appropriately named).

I've recently discovered that Laura Mercier Minerals Powder looks amazing as a bronzer, if you use three shades darker than you are. So I'll use Real Sand all over, and Classic Beige as a bronzer and it looks fantastic. I'll take a proper picture soon to prove it.

The chain earrings I got in Fenwicks while I was doing some personal shopping for my reader and friend Trish - I found the most gorgeous things. And I recommend them, they are so cute and sparkly. They are tiny chains of gold, rose gold and grey metal

D- RULE #6 "Guests to ensure nightime peace and quiet of the building!!" You're breaking the ruuuules. I'm gonna report you

D- okay

M- I had to clean the room, I spent all afternoon doing the bathroom!
D- I made my bed today

Amazing HD photo of my water coming up:




Manager - What am I gonna drink now?

Funniest Tuesday afternoon

1. Enter pub with girlfriend

2. Men come over, they tell us its gambling expo. Norwegian.

3. Men come over.

4. Man suddenly holds my left arm, I look to my left, he's smiling but facing forward. There's a line of them to my left. I'm confused. I see a flash. I look in front of me. I've been photographed! I feel like a monument

5. Men come over. Norwegian. Challenge us to sing happy birthday to his friend. Admits he placed a bet on it. What does he do? He's a managing gambler. Duh! I ask him to explain. He says 'he manages slot machines' We sing and get a free drink. Asks if I have a boyfriend? Yes I do. Ignores me. Asks for my number. We get photographed

6. Friend comes over

7. Man from the window is hitting the window. My girlfriend tells me not to look

8. Man comes over. Polish. Introduces himself to everyone at the table, for no apparent reason. Starts speaking polish. Then leaves.

9. All men leave our table. Quiet two seconds. Man comes over

10. Man comes over. Says he's spanish but he's southamerican, maybe Peru. Says he's 22, looks like 35. Bites my waist in a fast movement and leaves

11. Norweigan man from before comes over, proclaims he is 'a protector' and he will shield us from 'all these crazy people' and fight them if anybody else 'attacks us'

12. We leave And it's only 20.30!
