Goodness its been a while since I posted, it seems I'm forever opening posts with that line lately. Life is hectic right now, so bare with me! 3rd year in my fashion degree and working at my dream job currently!.

Anyways, I'd been meaning to post this super heavy photo post for you all for a while! I turned 21 in decemember - the 28th to be precise - and I have to say, I've never been so spoilt and had such amazing celebrations. I had my birthday with my family on boxing day at home because Daniel took me off to Paris for my actual birthday - arent I a lucky girl! - somehow after all the xmas presents my mum managed to get me 21 presents for my 21st? I have never been so spoilt and happy in all my life. I FINALLY OWN A MULBERRY GUYS. I've also been throughly treated by my friends and lovely boyfriend as you can clearly see...

Paris itself was AMAZING, We went for 2 nights, 3 days. A short stay but you would not believe what we fitted in, on our one full day in Paris we walked around for around 8/9 hours, needless to say we were knackered! But we really did get to see everything, and I can tell you the Eiffle Tower is SO much bigger in real life! By the end of the third day Daniel & I were craving home food and comforts so the Eurostar home was a welcome trip. We really want to return but stay in a nicer hotel and do more things, as we wanted to see everything we looked but didnt really venture into/onto anything, needless to say I had the nicest time and I'm so bloody greatful to my boy for taking me away!

So as you can see! Birthday celebrations were spectacular .. expect to hear from me soon!

Birthday outfit

Dress - Vera & Lucy Hat - eBay Gillet - Boohoo Boutique Tights - Primark Boots - eBay Lips - Mac 'Vegas Volt'

I recentley celebrated my 21st birthday! yay, happy birthday to me. I was away with my boyfriend in Paris for the actual day (pics to follow I promise) so my family decided to throw my birthday celebrations two days early on boxing day. My mum has the best taste, and this amazing graphic print dress and cosy gillet were two of my twenty one presents for my birthday! very lucky girl indeed. I am a complete sucker for a good t shirt dress, so easy to dress up and most importantly dress down. You might also notice a change in my photos, I got a new lense for my DSLR. Were just getting to know one another, my little brother took these and I'm loving the depth of field I can achieve!

One of my new years resolutions is to post more, but I will appologise - third year of a fashion degree is HELL, as I'm sure many of you can agree! bare with me - i'm still here - thanks for sticking around for the ride!

Louise Gray 'Legend' Lipstick

Louise Gray 'Legend' Lipstick £5 Sale @ Topshop - SOLD OUT

From what I gather the Louise Gray collection at Topshop must have flopped because every product has gone into sale. I'm a sucker for lipstick - we all know this. And when Louise's collection came out I did see the two lipsticks but neither of them interested me enough to purchase. However I was out shopping for my birthday outfit and I saw 'Legend' on sale for £5 and tried it on in the shop - I was AMAZED with the quality of this product. For such a highly pigmented colour I expected a bleed round my lips and a chalky finish - I couldn't have been more wrong, the formula is creamy and moisturizing without spreading to my skin. Application was easy and it lasted me all night, I'm gutted I did'nt buy another bullet really because this is undoubtedly my go to night out lipstick right now! If you find one! Buy one!

p.s excuse instagram pics - but I had to show you what it looks like on!

Do you own any of the Louise Gray Collection?
