Usually I spend my Friday nights sitting at home in bed, curled up watching some American TV program.
This past Friday though, I actually made plans!
It was one of my close friend's birthdays and because she was finally turning 18 we all decided to go out and celebrate with some drinks.
The whole night was pretty last minute, and if I'm being honest at first I wasn't looking forward to it.
1. I was pretty much broke
2. I had nothing to wear
3. I had work in the morning
But, despite all those reasons it turned out to be a great night!
The first bar/club we stumbled in to happened to be having a 1920's themed swing night.
I don't know about you guys but I love everything to do with the 20's!
The place was bustling with energy, there was even a live jazz band playing.
When you entered the bar there was a large prison-esque line up background that you could take pictures in front of and *wait for it* fun props! You could have free feather headbands and bowties, which both looked very 20's. All-in-all it turned out to be an amazing night, I really felt like I'd been transported back in time and was at one of Gatsby's parties!
What did you guys get up to at the weekend?
Have you ever had any last minute plans that turned into amazing nights, or disasters?

This looks amazing! I adore 'The Great Gatsby' and probably would have killed to be one of the extras in the movie version of the parties...those headbands are so cool. This weekend, I spent a lot of time photographing, watching movies and reading!
