Oh boy, where do I even begin. To start with last night. Wait maybe I’ll start from the beginning yesterday. I had this amazingly sexy and sophisticated idea for an outfit in my head. It was this sheer white blouse with a black lace body suit and skinny jeans. If you’ve seen the pictures from last night then you know that outfit didn’t workout as planned! That’s life though right? Thank goodness for my girls Bridget and Kandace. They saved the outfit. Bridget helped me search my closet for the right next idea, then Kandace and I FaceTimed and she helped me put the finishing touches on the outfit. I went with black skinny jeans, a black top with lace on the upper half, chunky heeled boots, a black blazer. (I have all the sizing and details on my insta, check it out!)
Grant came home from work, threw on a pair of jeans and was ready to go, Bridget had gotten ready earlier with me and looked fantastic. The three of us were planning on an Uber but at $100 a ride we couldn’t justify that so Grant, being my true super hero, offered to drive for us. (Side note, I don’t know what in the world I would do without this boy. He is my rock and my wings all at the same time.)
When Grant, Bridget and I got in the car we were off to Mutiny Bar in Detroit! It should’ve taken us about 30 minutes but with the closing of 75 people got confused. One thing led to another, there was a four car accident that were all totaled and traffic was; lets just say hell. The good news. After some minor annoyance on my part (I didn’t handle that set back well) we blasted the Spotify and just kept on trucking.
Around 7:15 we finally were parked and settling in Mutiny Bar. Sarah and Karen made it there before us and grabbed us a table. This bar is on the smaller side but we had an absolute blast. The drinks were all themed tropical, they were a bit strong with lots of rum! Plus they had the cutest decorations on their drinks. I was a really big fan. It felt like a tropical escape in the middle of February. Priya met us there as well to have a fun drink then the group of us headed to dinner.
We had reservations at El Barzon which is a Mexican Italian Fusion restaurant where Nikki, Sasha, and John met up with us. The food was fantastic I had a trio special with pasta and steak. It was fantastic! The food was really good but I think my favorite part was the group I was with. That also included our waiter Alfonso who had me laughing hysterically and even borrowed my tiara!
After dinner we moved the cars over to Cork Town to do some bar hopping! We started over at Punchbowl Social where Priya, Nikki, Sasha, Bridget, Karen and I played Uno. I am very saddened to announce I lost tragically and I never lose. It was on my birthday too! Oh well it’s life. We stayed there a little longer jamming out to their tunes and drinking our drinks.
After we finished our drinks we headed over to the Candy Bar. It’s in the Siren Hotel and it was fantastic. It is old fashioned and pink with a chandelier plus a disco ball! The cocktail I got there was fantastic it was a perfect picturesque place to end our evening surrounded by people I love!
After we finished our drinks at The Candy Bar we headed to Ubers and Cars to drive home and cuddle under the covers having dreams of the adventures we all had together. Some nights are just perfect!
