An update!

After an unexpected blog hiatus, I'm back! There's no particular reason as to why I haven't been posting, I've been busy-ish I guess, but not overwhelmingly so that I couldn't post anything at all. This blog is for fun though, and if I don't feel like posting something, I won't. Anyway, what have I been up to...I went to visit my friends Sophie and Joe and played lots of Mario Kart on the N64. Also, I turned 24! If I was my mother, I would say that I am now nearly a quarter of a century old, because my mum seems to enjoy making things sound ancient. However, I have just said that, so I suppose I am turning into my mum.

Anyway, the nice things about birthdays is that sometimes lovely people give you money to spend on whatever you want! So today I went to Topshop and bought a dress, then came home, put it on and photographed it immediately, because that's just how I roll.

I had actually seen this dress in white a while ago and quite liked it but something was putting me off so I didn't buy it. Today I saw it in this lovely blue colour and loved it so I'm glad I didn't but the white one. It's amazing what difference a colour can make in deciding whether or not to buy something!

The sandals are new too. These are my first ever pair of gladiator sandals, believe it or not. I know they've been around for years but I've just never gotten around to getting a pair, I tend to just end up wearing flip-flops. These will be a good investment though I think as they are much more durable than flip-flops, plus I can drive in them (ever tried driving in flip-flops? Don't!).

Hairband: New Look

Dress: Topshop

Sorry for my pasty legs by the way. We haven't had enough consistent sun for me to get any colour on them, and I'm not really a fake-tan kind of person!

OK, finally, Google Friend Connect is disappearing in a couple of weeks so pretty please with a cherry on top go and follow my blog on Bloglovin' here. If you want to. No pressure :)

Shopping haul

Okay, so I know it's been a while but I'm sure you can forgive me because today is my BIRTHDAY! Yesterday my boyfriend took me the the Harry Potter Studio Tour and it was awesome, so if you're a fan I would definitely recommend it!


Anyway, I haven't got an outfit post because I haven't taken one in ages, partly because of the horrible weather, but I've also been working a lot and doing various other grown-up things. However, I went into town today and may have treated myself to a few bits, and if you can't treat yourself on your birthday, then when can you?

Clothes L-R: Dorothy Perkins jeans; Dorothy Perkins shirt; Tu at Sainsburys top; River Island skirt

I also bought some shampoo and conditioner, face-wipes, hand-cream and a bag of mini Creme Eggs (which should definitely not be kept right by the checkout counter - dangerous business).


All in all it's been a pretty good birthday. Now I've got to try and decide what to wear when I go out later :)
