21st birthday wishlist - Fashion

1. After the chilly winter last year, I have decided my parka just wont cut it in the warmth sector this year. I like the length and the two tone colour of this Boohoo faux fur coat and I don't think it's too full on so makes a great baby step into fur coats.

2. I came to the conclusion last weekend that I have kind of given up on bracelets. I'm not sure why but I just seem to reach for rings and necklaces instead. In an attempt to change this I have hunted for a simple but pretty one and I stumbled across this beauty from Topshop.

3. Midi skirts may be my favourite trend from this year. I just don't really have the legs or the skin tone to wear shorter skirts without tights and I think midi skirts are so easy to style and wear. I have had a few over the summer but I think I need a classic black style to use in the Autumn. I like this one from Newlook because it's high waisted and just perfect really.

4. Ok, so this one is very much out of my comfort zone. Past the age of about 13 I don't think I have put a single hat on my head. I branched out a little a few years ago and bought a furry headband thing from Accessorize because I kept getting cold ears, and that is as far as I have got with hats. I just don't think they suit me, BUT, I really really like these floppy hats and I keep wanting to buy one- I just need 1 person to tell me it'll suit me haha. The one I have picked is from Miss S and is perfect sized. Only downside is it is wool, hopefully it wont itch my head.

5. I can't really say much about this one to be honest. I need a scarf and I really like this grey tartan one from Boohoo because it looks pretty long and snuggly. Perfect for the looming cold weather. 

6. Probably my favourite item on my wishlist is this geometric necklace from Zara. I absolutely love that is has the silver, gold and black coated metal which means it'll pretty much go perfectly with anything, and then added bonus is it is super chunky and I adore chunky statement jewellery. I really hope someone gets me this. PRETTY PLEASE :)

I have one more wishlist that will be going up before my birthday and it'll be a beauty/homeware wishlist.

Stocking fillers for him under £15

So Christmas is sneaking up really quickly and I am yet to buy half of the presents that I need to. I have this obsession with over buying so I am constantly looking for cheapy things that I can add to presents.
Here is my list of things that may very well end up as part of someones gift.

Reindeer fleece pyjamas from Tesco. At £10 these are a bargain and I think they are super cute. Christmassy but not over the top. If I hadn't already bought Jake some, these would very much be on the list.

A bit of a soppy gift this one, but I think it's sweet and slightly more understated than a giant heart and key. Its the 'Remember the date' keyring from notonthehighstreet - perfect if you have a bit of a soppy other half.

I think Boot's are great for christmas gift sets, there is something for every budget and I think you can always find something, big or small. I have picked this Nivea wash bag because for £10 I think its an ideal stocking present for any teenager or adult. Sample sizes are great to have in the cupboard for when you have forgotten to replace your usual items or if you're going away for a few days etc. New washbags always come in handy and most men I know would keep using the same one till it fell apart!

Mind the language of these next ones, I just think these are great for those clumsy men in your life, the ones that end up grating their finger rather than the cheese! Urban Outfitters are on it with the humorous stocking fillers this year. I got the cupcake version of these last year and I found them super handy to keep in my bag, and now that I have used up the plasters I have just filled it with the daily essentials. Mini hand creams, lip balms etc are perfect.

I thought i'd try to cover all bases with this gift guide so here is a foody one. I know the typical stocking filler would be christmassy chocolate but for adults I don't think that would be top choice so I had a little browse and found this little chilli set from presentsformen. I think these are a handy addition to any kitchen and have a fairly long shelf life too. 

I hope this helps you guys. I will try to get some more up this week!

Birthday gift round up

Hey guys, so it was my birthday on Thursday and I felt thoroughly spoilt so I thought I'd share a quick round up of the presents I received.

A brand spanking new set of Zoeva brushes courtesy of my sister Lauren, I love the case too. Can't wait to start using these.

This gorgeous black bag is from my mum and I think it is beautiful. Probably the nicest bag I own and I will use it everyday.

The new Nina Ricci perfume was a present from Jake. A very pretty bottle to go with a gorgeous fruity smell.

There's not a whole lot to say about the next two... I love Hotel Chocolat and I have certainly eaten my fair share of their chocolate since I worked there a few years ago. I love Philosophy and I love honey buns, winning combo right there.

A very soft fluffy jumper from TK Maxx will certainly get it's wear this winter, along with these two very warm snoods. The mink coloured is from Accessorize and the cream is from River Island.

A pandora cupcake charm suits me perfectly and will be added to my little selection on my leather charm bracelet. The sparkly earrings and the big statement floral necklace are both from Topshop and were gifts from the office. I have worn the earrings every day since and can't wait to wear the necklace with big plain jumpers. The aztecy/tribally gold statement necklace was from my mumma and she got it from Miss Selfridge, another necklace that will be a well loved member of the group.

That's my round up of gifts, and I am very happy and grateful for each one. Everyone knows me so so well. I haven't put links to the items as I find it a little rude to hunt down the items online but I have given the stores they are from and if you're interested in any of them then I'm sure they will all be super easy to find.

I had a lovely birthday but now I can't wait to start thinking about christmas.

Christmas wishlist!

It's that time of year again, time for food, presents, excitement... and lack of money! I always struggle to think of little things that I want for Christmas, because I generally buy the things I want throughout the year. This wishlist may seem like a pretty random selection of things, but nevermind!

 

Yankee candle in sparkling snow. I have been looking for my perfect Yankee candle for ages, I hope I've found it!

My side your side pillows. I think these are adorable, but very expensive for pillow cases.

Full-finish Benefit lipstick in the shade 'do tell' and silky-finish Benefit lipstick in the shade 'nice knickers'. I will say something controversial in the blogging world...I'm not a fan of Mac lipsticks. I find them too drying. Whereas Benefit lipsticks are nourishing and are just as colourful as Mac.

New look blue studded jeans. Who doesn't love studs at the moment?! New look is definitely one of my favourite high street stores.

Studded peplum top from new look. I love studs, I love peplum tops, need I say more?

Cupcake case from redbubble.com

Philosophy bubble bath in candy cane. Smells like Christmas, ideal for my Christmas bubble baths!




What have you asked for?

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY...well it was on Wednesday

Hey guys.

So, in case you didn't guess from the title. It was my birthday the other day! I thought I'd share my day with you because I was spoilt!

I was awoken at about 8 with cards and presents, and as you can see from the pictures, they were very good presents! My mum and dad got me an iPad (which I am currently writing this post on). Speaking of which. Do any if you guys blog on your iPads?
Lauren got me a new make-up bag.
Jake (the boyfriend) got me a purse, scarf/snood, necklace, giant Millie's cookie and has ordered me a case for my gorgeous iPad. I also got money and such from various family members and the boyfriends parents.
So all in all I was spoilt with pressies!
Because I'm extremely lazy, I spent the day lounging around with Jake and Lauren drinking tea and eating cookie.
In the evening we headed to the beefeater for dinner because I was in the mood for some massively unhealthy stuffed potato skins etc.
Now here's for the bit I like most. Pictures!

My malteser birthday cake that mummy Pearson made!

Have any of you guys just had birthdays?

Mummy's birthday/OOTD/Cake

Happy birthday mummy :)

As you can tell, this post is dedicated to my mum's birthday, she likes to think she's getting younger, not older, so I won't mention her age.

I bought her this Philosophy bubble bath, and I am also taking her to have a Molton Brown massage.

We went for Lunch at the pub down the road (courtesy of my grandparents who go their for the OAP lunch) and had a roast, was fairly average but wasn't dreadful. This leads to my OOTD...

Cardigan: Abercrombie & Fitch (massively old)
Dress: Newlook last year
Shoes: Wallis

I have only worn this dress twice since I bought it last year, mainly because it's strapless, and I always worry it's going to fall down. BTW, these shoes are so comfy!

It doesn't look like I'm wearing much make-up in this, probably because I took this photo 8 hours after I had put it on. Oops!

I didn't wear much jewellery with this outfit because I didn't want it to look too dressy. I chose to wear my  plain, thicker bracelet that my boyfriend gave me when we first got together and my Tiffany bracelet that my sister and brother got me for my 18th birthday. On my nails I'm wearing Models Own- Beetlejuice. 

The Rasberry and White chocolate birthday cake I made mother. (Tastes good, if I may say so myself.)

Time to enjoy cake and vodka, whilst playing Buzz

What have you guys been up to? What are your favourite cakes to make/eat?
