4 years later...

The 27th September marked 4 years with this monster. How has he put up with me for so long. I think he's just an expert at zoning out when I talk too much and just nods along!

As you may have realised it's my 21st birthday in a couple of weeks and I think he is stressing out a little bless him so we decided to keep our anniversary this year fairly basic and I took it upon myself to decide that we were off to Groombridge Place. Ever since I was a little girl Groombridge has been one of my favourite places to visit and with the abnormally warm September weather we are having at the moment, I couldn't pass up the chance to share it with Jake. Pretty gardens, animals, playgrounds and a little canal boat make this the perfect place to spend a day - I love it as much as I did 10 years ago (although I have to say, the giant swing isn't so giant when you're over 3ft tall.) 

We finished the day with giant burgers at an American diner and a movie in bed. Perfect right! 

P.S. how pretty are my flowers?

P.P.S. Yes that is a bald eagle, yes that is a childs toy in her claws and yes she did steal it from a small child

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.
