It Is Your Birthday.

(Image Source - Pinterest)

Hello everyone! This post in kind of a two in one - an 'it's my birthday' (also well done if you get the reference in the title!) and a 'sorry I've haven't been posting as much but I'm super busy'.

Anyway, birthday first. Today is the day I turn 20! By the time this goes up I'll have already opened up presents from my mum and dad and will be just leaving the house for my 9am start at university. For some reason I always end up with 9am starts on my birthday, and today I even have a presentation in my seminar - super fun stuff! Hopefully I'll be home for 1pm though and my birthday celebrations can continue...

Secondly, I haven't been able to post as much/write new posts recently. University has completely taken over my life - who knew third year would be so hard? On top of seminar prep, I have one essay and two groups reports due in the next 5 weeks. All of my time is spent doing university work, or being too tired to do anything other than watch TV. I'm hoping once my essay is out the way I'll have a bit more time and can start scheduling posts again, but until then it's be pretty scarce around here!

So now that's my little mini-update done, I'm off to go eat some cake...

PFW: Favourite Celebrity Looks

Coco Rocha / Joan Smalls, Lily Donaldson & Kendall Jenner / Kiernan Shipka / Jourdan Dunn / Suki Waterhouse

Kendall Jenner / Gigi Hadid

Lea Seydoux / Maria Sharapova / Michelle Williams / Miranda Kerr / Leigh Lezark

The final instalment in my favourite celebrity looks from fashion month series. Find New York and London.

Paris is home of the old couture houses, and therefore it's my favourite fashion week. Chanel, Dior, Valentino... What more could a girl ask for? Some of my favourite looks came from Kendall Jenner as usual - that khaki green outfit is giving me the heart-eyed emoji look. I also loved Maria Sharapova's classy 70's inspired style at the Chanel show and Jourdan Dunn's sparkling Balmain dress!

New In: River Island, ASOS & Primark

River Island Bobble Hat / ASOS RUN AWAY Chelsea Boots / Adolescent Clothing Slogan Tee

Thanks to student loans I was back to treating myself in September to I thought I'd share a few of my favourites that I picked up. 

Taking advantage of a River Island discount, I picked up a burgundy bobble hat for Winter. Although it's not quite cold enough yet I've already been wearing this constantly. I love wearing burgundy in the winter and it goes perfectly with my new camel coat that I got from Primark!

Next up are my first pair of winter books for this season - the chelsea boots from ASOS. I've had my eye on these for ages and quickly snapped them up with I got my loan. I love everything about these boots and they have the perfect heel for everyday wear. Lastly, I also picked up this Adolescent Clothing tee on ASOS. I love a good slogan tee and the quality of this one is so good - perfect for chilled days!

What have you picked up later?

Dream House: Living Room & General

In terms of living rooms, I've always wanted a huge grey sofa! I've always imagined having a grey/white/metallic colour scheme with lots of throws and cushions so make it cosy in the Winter. I'd also love a gallery wall with some cool prints and photos. My dream house would be full of various plants and flowers as well to inject a bit of colour and life!

What would your dream living room look like?

The second post in my favourite celebrity looks from fashion month - see NYFW: Favourite Celebrity Looks for the first post. 

For me, London Fashion Week was all about the Topshop Unique FROW. So much so that I dedicated a whole photoset to it. I loved the 70's style from Suki and Poppy! Of course, Alexa was killing it all week - can that girl do no wrong? Another favourite of mine was Lucy Watson - I love her on MIC and I'm obsessed with her yellow dress and nude coat combo for the Julien MacDonald show!

Home Haul: Tiger, IKEA, Primark, H&M & Homebase

When I finally got my student loan I decided to pick up a few bits and pieces for my room. In Tiger I picked up a marble clipboard, marble notebook, metal wire box and a cute mug. I love how the marble and the wire box look on my desk, along with my new artificial plant from IKEA!

In Primark, I picked up heart shaped coasters, the copper ampersand and the star light that everyone seems to have. I wasn't sure about it at first but it looks really nice when it's lit and makes my room feel really cosy! I also picked up another lamp - the copper one from Homebase. Again, everyone seems to have this, but I just couldn't resist.

I then made my first ever H&M home order and got a copper basket, a bookend and a little copper box to keep my rings in!

What do you think of my new purchases?

Dream House: Bookcases & Office

There's nothing I want more in life than a wall of bookcases (or my own library) and a nice home office. I could honestly spend all my time on Pinterest looking at pictures of brilliantly styled bookcases or pretty white offices. I'm literally all heart-eyed emoji at the gold bookcase and the monochrome offices. 

What would your dream office and bookcases be like?
