FASHION, OUTFITS
January 21 2012

My Birthday was on Thursday the 19th, and here’s what I wore!

This shift dress in a beautiful apricot shade, styled to look like a top, and paired with leggings. I really wanted to shoot the outfit outside, but the rain would have soaked me! Ha! But I’m happy with the way they came out!
It was my first birthday being spent with my Mum in Two Years. My last two, I was away at University (My siblings made it up to Notts for my last one), and can you believe I always had exams around both? I’m so glad to have finished them in time to come home! Mummy got a little emotional sharing my birth story with me that morning, and I thought it was so cute. My mum is just so cute. Bless her.
We went for dinner and a movie, very simple and lowkey, but very special. We saw the Iron Lady, which my mum and I really enjoyed.
Dress : Zara
Leggings : H&M
Shoes : Zara
Trench : H&M
Bag : Zara
Earrings : Topshop
Bangles : H&M
Watch : Aldo
So thankful to have another year added to my life!
Thank you to all who have sent me lovely messages and tweets! Love you lots! 🙂
