It’s my birthday week (yippee!). As I type this I'm currently face-masking in prep for some birthday fun over the weekend. Side note, said face mask is seaweed based and I would not recommend if you have a heightened scent of smell....
As I was saying, birthday week is in full swing and I'm beyond excited for some time off of work to spend with friends and family. In the words of Camilla (Love Island, of course), "28 and feeling great" :)
Not normally one to have a wishlist of things I would like - honestly, ask The Boy, he is normally hounding me for a wishlist of gifts. However since there was a few things I've been wanting (I blame the supposed wedding saving....) I thought it would be nice to share this with you. Think of it as a little summer inspo.
When thinking about what I would like for my birthday I usually like to include items that I either 1. wouldn’t normally buy for myself or 2. have wanted for a looooong ass time.
Here’s what’s on my birthday wish list this year.
1. Missoma x Lucy Williams necklace - I've seen this on everyone's neckline and I need it! I always tend to include some form of delicate, gold jewellery in my prezzie wish list and this one has taken centre stage this year.
2. Gucci belt. Well, what can I say about this item. It's been my absolute dream accessory of 2017 so far. It legit makes every outfit 100% better. I've also worn my Moschino belt to death so I think a good belt is worth every penny.
3. Tanya Burr Chasing the Sun highlighter. After watching Tanya's LA vlog when she tried out her new range I instantly needed to get my hands on the pink blush and golden/bronze shade for the eyes. I tried the testers in Superdrug and can say they're both as stunning in real life!
4. Glam Glow face mask. I'm torn between two - the Gravity Mud and the Thirsty Mud. I've been after one of these bad boys for a while after they blew up on the internet. Plus, I need to get my skin wedding ready and this may be just the trick!
5. Something a little different - I'd like to get my top ear pierced. As the biggest scaredy-cat of my friends an ear piercing is a BIG DEAL for me! I figured however with a little birthday enthusiasm it may help me get through the nerves :)
6. Embroidery Topshop bag. Ever since my friend Tender Loving Style turned up to an event with a gorgeous, bright pink bag I've been after onr that could bring a pop of colour to my normally monochrome outfits. I love the cross body of this bag and could see myself getting a lot of use out of it.
7. Black leather jacket. Generally when I tell people I've not had a black leather jacket for the last four years their jaws almost drop to the floor. It's such a staple piece for any wardrobe and I'm ready to welcome one back into my life.
I hope you enjoyed this style of post. I really enjoyed creating the artwork and think I may try and introduce more 'shopping' style posts on to the blog going forward. Let me know if there are any themes or categories you would like me to focus on..... I love a challenge :)
Have a great week!
