So I turned the big 2-2 a couple weeks ago! *Cue annoying Taylor Swift song... "I'm feeling twenty-twooooohhooh" and booked the week off of work with intention to blog, unfortunately I got too carried away in birthday activities that it's taken me until now to take some photos of what I got. Soz about that! I won't gloat and show you everything I got, but I have to show you what my amazing boyfriend Tristan (he's a musician, follow his band here) got me... Behold, my first addition to hopefully a long standing collection of Vivienne Westwood accessories.
*gasps* Ahhhhhhh, I love it so much! 




The clutch itself is very narrow and long, which is very different to the types of clutches I have already, I'm usually an envelope clutch kinda gal, but I fell in love with this as soon as I opened the box. BOY DID GOOD! It's handmade in Nairobi and the intricate bead detailing is so amazing, despite being so nervous taking it out on a night out with me, I did manage not to lose it! What do you think?

(Sorry I've not been posting as regularly, but you can find me on Instagram where I post almost daily!)

I am super excited to show you my new little treasures (early Christmas gift to myself) from & other stories. As most of you will know, & other stories are a sister company of Hennes & Mauritz H&M AB, amoung Cos, Weekday, Monki and Cheap Monday it's the latest of the H&M group to hit the UK. Launched in March 2013, & other stories offer an extensive selection of cosmetics, jewellery, bags, clothes and shoes. 'The brand is all about fashion, with particular focus on quality and design details as well as personal expression and styling.' 

As a H&M employee, we're often entitled to amazing promotional discounts and most recently we were allowed 50% staff discount and free delivery to use online, OF COURSE I took full advantage of this and bought myself these Nike Air Pegasus 83. They arrived yesterday along with a note saying "Hello, we hope you have a great time with your new stories treasures, love from & Other Stories" - which I thought was lovely! I can't wait to style them up with some outfits, they are so comfortable and such a bargain, £70 originally but came to £35 with staff discount. I LOVE MY JOB!




What do you think of them?

Marc Jacobs - Lola £47* Anniversary gift from my boyfriend!

I must admit it's been a while since I splashed out on some expensive perfume, well... let someone else do it for me! I usually stick to a body shop splash or cheapy next perfume during the day, and never really branch out when it comes to occasion/evening perfume. Not since I finished my beloved Versace Vanitas about 7 months ago. Me and my boyfriend celebrated our 1 year anniversary last Sunday, it was a beautiful evening, I cried.. Ha-ha we went to a lovely 5* hotel restaurant on the outskirts of Romsey and had a main meal and a round of drinks then strolled through a scenic walkway and tried to find some pigs! (Weird I know, but they were around somewhere!)
