twenty one

 
dress: love*
coat & belt: topshop
belt: peacocks
necklace: juicy couture*
ring: primark

So I turned 21 yesterday. Had a really nice day shopping but not actually liking anything (so coming home empty handed, boo!) and then went for a meal with family in the evening. Not excessively celebratory but it was good! Still full up on my food from last night to be honest! Sporting a mega food baby which is totally a good look.

Got this dress sent to me from Love a couple of weeks ago and saved it for my birthday. It's the same style as the one I wore to the LOOK Beauty event, it feels a little bit bigger though! Obviously I wore tights to go out in as it's nearly Christmas. Also giving my new coat its debut, my boyfriend took a hint and got it for me. It's so cosy! It's actually a size 16 but I wanted enough room for thick jumpers and stuff. It's love!

Casually posting this as I'm in my friend's car on the way out for a meal.. again. Didn't even have anything properly planned but I couldn't say no really. No idea where we're going yet but I'm sure it'll be good!

Went to press days for New Look, Debenhams and Yuki earlier this week with Kate and Lily. Such a funny day and still tired from it now! Seriously need a rest. Will post more about the press days later on!

Is everyone feeling festive now that it's finally December? Need to start my present shopping, I never do before my birthday so it's always a bit of a rush! Don't even know what I want to be honest, apart from the new Naked palette that doesn't even come out till January. Always the way! Fast metabolism in a box perhaps?

  10. I absolutely love LOVE's Tutu dresses! There is something so princessy about them, if that makes sense!

    I'm glad you had a great night. You cannot have it any other way on your 21st, really!

    Not meaning to spam or anything, but I am running a Steve Madden giveaway on my blog, for its first birthday. Might be a good excuse for a late birthday present / early christmas present don't you think?
