two hours of free belinis and jello shots at the ivy






Thursday night, Katie D, Katie K, Alexa, Alex and I all met up straight after work at the Ivy for drinks. The Ivy is this super fancy/swanky bar with all these different rooms and outside area. It is gorgeous : check it out on merivale.com. Anyways, so our plan was to go straight from work (especially so we would fit in with the crowd in our work clothes :) ) and then go to oxford street for Indian food afterwards.
Lets just say that we never made it to Indian food hahaha....So Katie D and i got to the ivy first, sit at the bar, and order a Rose (for me) and a sauvignon blanc (for Katie), but then the girl asks, do we want free belinis? FREE BELINIS!? um yes! haha does she realize that belinis are on my top list of favorite drinks. So of course we say yes, and then we find out that they were launching a "Classics Night" Thus, it was decorated all retro and the bar tenders were dressed in 80s gear, and free belinis, beer, jello shots, and appetizers until 8! we flipped haha so we classily downed those belinis and of course ordered more. Katie K came and then Alex and then Alexa. Sweet Alex brought me a bag of chocolates and candy! haha
We sat at the bar and had wayyyy to many belinis and jello shots. Then, these two old men started totally flirting with Katie and I and then he bought the most expensive bottle of champagne on the menu!!! $150!!! just for us! omg! hahah it tasted fabulous of course! i could not believe it! and then they were inviting us to a show upstairs that was "invite only" at 9 and also inviting us to see the horse races down in Melbourne, it was hilarious.
I ended up drinking a lot more than a normal thursday hahahah and we had to stay there until 8! luckily we got some chicken wings and hot dog pieces, but afterwards katie K walked me home haha and got me some wedges with sour cream and chili sauce! my fav haha
Then i woke up this friday morning, ohhh what a great feeling hahah NOT. Luckily its friday, and also free food day (aka health expo) haaha and bobbi brown just came back with lavender macaroons and vanilla ones too (i tried those two, fabulous!) and then lavender muffins, but i just tried a bite because i am gonna save that for later snack ;)
the days are flyingggg by!!
