PERSONAL: 18TH BIRTHDAY


On April 6th, I turnt 18, I had the best celebrations I could have asked for. In this post, I wanted to share with you what I got up to!

The first event was going out in my hometown with my closest friends. I wore a dusky pink coloured shift dress that was Missguided. It was £19.99, which was an absolute bargain, the quality of the dress is lovely and I loved the colour. (http://www.missguided.co.uk/daira-loose-shift-dress-in-dusty-pink). Along with this I wore a floral crystal necklace from Primark and platform wedges in nude from Topshop.

The day of my actual birthday I wore a navy bralet from Topshop (£22) and a pair of grey/blue cigarette trousers from RiverIsland (£30). You can't see them very well in the picture below, but its the one of the only ones I have from the evening.

Later on in the week, I went to London for a few days with my dearest Mother, we had a lovely time, and did lots of relaxing, girly things. Of course I did a lot of shopping and below are some of the goodies I bought!

I purchased some new black jeans from Zara (£29.99), they have gorgeous gold buttons and zips which I really liked, they fit me perfectly which is what made me want them so much! Also from Zara I bought these monochrome flatform sandals(£39.99). They are super comfy and I think will be my staple casual shoe for the spring/summer. 

Topshop on Oxford Street never disappoints, I came out with some socks which had a lilac/blue theme through out. Some striped jeggings with a roll-up and multiple EOS lip balms. I had one from a friend as a present for my birthday, and then when I saw them in London I bought some more as presents. It truly is the best lip balm, it tastes, smells and works so well. 




In the evening we watched 'Matilda' at the Cambridge Theatre. The show was incredible, I loved it so so much! The theatre is fairly small, in comparison to a lot of the theatres in London, so it was nice to feel so close to the stage. 

Whilst in London, I visited Portobello Road, had some lunch and viewed the houses I aspire to live in one day... 






I had such a wonderful time celebrating my birthday and I would like to thank everyone who made it so fabulous!

p.s....a random recommendation but Harrods New York Cheesecake is the best cheesecake I have ever had. (granted I haven't been to New York to have the real deal yet, but I can't imagine it gets much better!) I took my cheesecake to-go and ate it on a bench in Hyde Park and enjoyed the first bit of sunshine of the month.
