More Belated Birthday Presents!

More Belated Birthday Presents!

So since my party a couple of nights I have receive a few more gifts for my birthday which was a few weeks ago. And I love everything that I got so I really wanted to share them with you. 

The first present that I got was from my next door neighbours. They got me this beautiful Ted Baker pencil case that I love so much. I want to use this for all of my lectures but I also never want to ruin this as it is so pretty! They also got me a couple of things from the Body Shop which of course smell amazing and are already staples in my handbag.

The next thing was a present that a friend dropped around before she went off to university. She got me my first bit of Benefit makeup which is crazy! I wore the sun beam highlighter on my birthday and I can't wait to try the other two products. Also how cute is this packaging?!

And finally lots of really cute gifts from a selection of friends who were at my party. Can't wait to use a lot of these and have a bit of a pamper!

Last Nights 18th Party

Last Nights 18th Party 

Wearing our new skirt from our Topshop personal shopping experience!

Last night was mine and my best friends 18th birthday party with all of our friends from school. Last year we also had a joint party which was at my house so this year we held the party at Livi's house. We had a marquee and lots of candles, balloons and fairy lights to make everything really pretty. We also had two huge tents for the people that chose to sleep over which took hours to put up. We also made our own playlist full of our favourite artists like Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, 5SoS and The Vamps! The party went really well and I had such a great time. It was a little bit emotional though as it was the last time that I was going to see most of those people before we all go to university and our separate ways.  

All the photos here were taken before the party. After we got ready for the party we opened the bottle of champagne that my boyfriend Jack got me for my birthday and I felt really fancy all dressed up and drinking posh drinks! Quite different to how I felt today when I was clearing up after the party!

Personal Shopping, Pizzas and Wicked

Personal Shopping, Pizzas and Wicked 

Some of the clothes that were picked out for us. 

Not my usual sytle!

Defo not our style!

Can we please just take a moment to appriciate this skirt...

Loving our skirts!

I have actually been buying so much sequin stuff recently. Collective haul should be coming up soon :)

Yayayayayay!

Wicked was WICKED! Sorry, had to be done!

Yesterday was my bestfriends birthday and just like my mum planned something for us on my birthday her mum did the same. The only different was her mum can keep a secret and my mum just can't contain her excitement! We went up to the massive Oxford Street Topshop in London and to the personally shopping department downstairs where we met the lady who had picked out some clothes for us from the descriptions Livi's mum had sent. We were shown our own little room with the clothes in and had a little look and then started to try stuff on. 

Nearly all of the clothes were stuff that we would never normally pick out when shopping for ourselves. Some of them were totally not our style and looked ridiculous and some of them we tried on and actually quite liked. Livi and I are also pretty much exactly the same size which meant that we had twice the number of clothes to try on! After we'd finished trying on all of the clothes that were picked out for us we had a little wonder around the shop picking up other items that we wanted to try on. And we found that because we had just done the personal shopping we were now much more adventurous with what we were trying on. We wondered back to the shop grabbing loads of different clothes and then on the way back to the changing room I saw this beautiful sequin skirt. I search for the price but I couldn't find one and even though it was in the labels section and I presumed it would be way over my budget I grabbed it anyway as I was so desperate to try it on. My new mantra for shopping is to only buy things that I really love. It stops my buying things that I think are okay just because they are cheap or in the sale. Not only does that take up so much space in my wardrobe but it is also such a waste of money. And the only think that I tried on and I really loved was this beautiful sequin skirt. And it was one of those beautiful moments where I looked at the price expecting it to be expensive and what pleasantly surprised that it was £35! Livi also bought this beautiful white skirt (one of the few things that was picked out for us that we liked) that I am very jealous of!

After Topshop personal shopping we did a little bit more shopping on Oxford street but considering it coming to the end of season the sales weren't that good. It was early evening when we were starving and we headed to Strata for a very yummy pizza. And I was feeling so adventurous that I asked for chicken instead of ham on my pizza! I'm so fussy! Then we caught the tube to Victoria and bought some (a lot!) of chocolate at the station. After queuing for ages to go the the toilet before the performance, why is it that there can never be enough ladies toilets?! We got to our seats and they were really close to the front which was amazing!

The show was awesome even though we had both already seem it before. Last time I saw it I was right at the top and had to use the binoculars so it was really great this time to be able to see all the actors facial expressions. If you haven't seen Wicked I would really recommend it, it's very clever and funny and the music is just incredible. Definitely one of my favourite musicals ever!

I had the most amazing day and now my bestfriend and I are both mature 18 year olds. Just kidding! Watch out world!!

If you want to see what I wore yesterday around London and to the theatre then keep an eye out for my next post! Hope you guys have a lovely weekend, I'm off for a barbecue with my boyfriend and his family now. Speak later xx

What I Got For My 18th Birthday!

What I Got For My 18th Birthday!

I've seen a few of these going around on blogger and YouTube and personally I find them so interesting to watch. But like all these videos and blogposts I just want to start by saying I'm not trying to brag or boast about what I got for my birthday. I am so grateful for everything that I received and I realise none of this stuff I really needed but I love everything that I got and I just wanted to share it on my blog. I still can't believe how lucky I am!

I'm not going to list anything or go into huge amounts of detail as that would take forever and probably get really boring. But I am going to share with you lots of pictures so I hope you enjoy having a look at my presents. 

:O

I've wanted to try real Techniques brushes for the longest time so thank you to my sister for taking note of my hints!

You can never go wrong with chocolate! There was actually another box from my boyfriends parents but they didn't even last long enough for this photo! And how cute are those piglet chocolates that my brother got me?

I have a little bit of am obsession with stationery! People know me to well...

My mum chose this beautiful glass bowl that I thing will look great in my room for storing jewellery in. 

I can't believe my brother chose this! And it actually smells good too!

I picked these out and my sister got them for me. I really hope that this is the light blue nail polish I have been looking for for so long!

Love the colours in this scarf and those earrings are just gorgeous!

Found this top while on holiday in cornwall from a vintage second hand shop. I'll definitely be wearing something under it, don't worry!

Beautiful simple flower earrings from my auntie

More lovely earrings from my mum and sister

I dropped so many hints to my mum about this handbag that I spotted in Accessorize. I don't actually own a black handbag so thought I would get a lot of use out of this during Autumn and Winter.

This is such a Mary Poppins bag! I used this as a handbag and overnight bag the other day. In fact, this is the only bag I've used since I got it!

This is the coat that I talked about in my holiday post that I found it St Ives :)

My grandma gave me this ring. I love the colour of it but it's also very special as it has been passed down my family. I think this is now one of the most precious things that I own.

My grandma also wrote this little note in the ring box

This watch is from my parents although I actually chose it a few months ago. It's a beautiful rose gold and I love how simple it is. 

My new everyday watch. I've never really worn watches before so it makes me feel really grown up and smart when I wear it!

Such a beautiful photo frame collection from my boyfriends parents who are so sweet. This is going to look so lovely on the bare wall above my bed. 

And last but not least my present from my boyfriend...

Absolutely beautiful pearl earrings! I know, I'm a very very lucky girl!

I'm kind of scared to wear these though as I don't want to ever lose them!

Hope you enjoyed having a little look at what I got for my birthday :) xx
