Birthday outfit ideas

As my birthday is fast approaching I begin to browse my favourite online stores for a potential outfit! 
One not for wearing heels and fancy dresses I decide to come out of my comfort zone and go to town as they like to say for a special day! 
After browsing ASOS for a while I fortunately stumble open these absolutely gorgeous shoes 
A pinch at only £22 I was quick to snap them up. A Miranda Kerr inspired outfit as she was recently seen in a studded heel, I thought these would be perfect with a classic, figure flattering LBD.
A simple yet elegant cut I found this beauty in one of my fave stores, Zara. A perfect piece and brilliant price at only £39.99 I can't wait to get my hands on this piece for my birthday meal outfit. 

I decided upon keeping accessories simple, yet sophisticated with my classic small satchel and a beautiful gold bracelet (stole from my sister of course)

As a natural (your face but better) as they say I'm a lover of this look with a dewy complexion and a lovely lip. My make up will consist of my favourite at the minute Maybeline BB cream as well as the Broadest Berry Clinique Chubby Stick which I of course adore, with minimal bronzer and blush on the cheeks which will be the newest addition to my make up bag a beautiful Topshop Creme Blush which just adds to the dewy look beautifully without the face looking too over done. 

So there you go guys, my very well planned out outfit for my birthday meal :) 
Yey for birthdays! 🍰

Birthday plans and wish list..

So as my 18th birthday is fast approaching (eek!) I ponder on potential birthday presents and plans.  

As a rather materialistic, high maintenance and very expensive Girly at times I knew that the present that I wished to receive was of course of no exception. After browsing many online stores I decided open a beautiful Michael Kors watch 
And a cute iPad mini which for me is a perfect gift from my parents as I have the perfect balance of 'sensible' gifts as my dad would like to call them aka the iPad and a 'nice to look at' sort of present ie the watch.

Unfortunately I will be returning back to sixth form on my actual birthday however that will not stop the partayyy!! My birthday plans include meeting friends and family for lunch and a get together with loved ones on the evening which will include a lot of cake munching!

I Heart Summer Tag!

Greetings one and all...
So as the weather warms up and we all start jetting off for our holidays I thought this tag would be rather appropriate.
Check out all my faves I'll be wearing this summer!

1. Nail polish:
 
 As pathetic as this sounds I could probably count my nail varnish collection on all but one hand, shocking I know.  But one of my favourite nail vanish brands has to be Essie, a summer favourite of mine is the coral colour known as 'cute as a button' a perfect shade to compliment those sophisticated tan sandals.  Another one shortly added to my pathetic excuse of a is the hyped up but the most perfect shade 'Fiji' versatile and can be worn with almost any outfit 'Fiji' is definitely a must have.
 
2. Lip colour:

Whilst lazing around the pool or trecking it to the beach a favourite of mine to be worn is the raspberry lip balm from The Body Shop, simple and easy to wear but perfect to keep your puckers hydrated whilst being drenched in warm sunny rays.

3. Dress:

Recently seen on the gorgeous Miranda Kerr, this dress has to be my favourite in my collection.  A high street buy and a quick sell out,  I am so glad I got my hands on this beauty.

Accessory:

A bit of a splurge I must admit but earlier in the year I 'invested' in my beautiful Rayban Wayfarers and have never looked back since.

Trends this summer:

Not really one to sport an up-to-date trends I often wear simple styles that are timeless pieces.  However my summer taples included those of the playsuit/dress attire.

Summer scents:

Marc Jacobs Daisy is just beautful and I wear it throughout the year but a scent that I just can't get enough of in summer is a coconut body butter/ lotion ensemble which just oozes holiday.

Weather at home:

England has had a very warm welcomed, long awaited heat wave which sees temperatures soar to the late 20s which I am just loving!

Loves for summer:

Holidays are just a must for summer which usually involves a camping trip to France. Lazing by the pool or swimming in the sea is an ultimate favourite of mine.

Summer holidays:

Jetting off in just 7 days time or lets say boating to the South of France. The trip is a long awaited camping trip with my Dad and Twin Sister where we'll be consuming a fair few croissants and baguettes as well as venturing into the Frenchy World on our bikes.

Have a fantastic time whatever you're up to this summer and remember to wear it with style!
