I had a birthday... and now I'm old!

well, it has been a busy long weekend!
On Saturday evening I had my 21st birthday party,
Involving pizza, films and a sleep over!
I wore:
Black and white tutu dress: Topshop (in the summer)
Black cardigan with sparkly thread: Topshop (this season)
Skull Necklace: Jessica Kagan Cushman (Its amazing, expensive but worth it)
Black suede studded boots: River Island
Trusty Black Leggings!

There was much yummy cake involved,
My mum ordered these cupcakes from a lady,
Aren't they gorgeous

On my actual birthday I had 2 lectures
It was super cold so I wore my Leopard Fur Coat from Topshop last year

Underneath I wore:

Pink Leopard Cardigan: Warehouse
Grey T-shirt Dress (underneath): H&M
Multi-coloured wolf dress: Motel @ Topshop
Looking Glass Pendant: Disney Couture
Fluffy White Socks: Primark
Black Suede fur lined boots: Office
Trust Black Leggings!

From my mum and sister I received a lovely charm bracelet
The original one they got me was by truth, but it was too big
so i swapped it for one by Chamilia,
Both a similar concept, where you slide silver bead charms onto a snake chain!

They gave me the deer charm, and the 21 key charm,
and with my birthday money from people at work and relatives I bought
the Cinderella shoe, apple and crown!
Cant wait to collect some more!

I also got this Angel Jackson bag from my mum,
we got it ages ago and put it away
Its so nice to be able to look at it and feel it and use it!
I neeeed more angel jackson bags

Off my lovely boyfriend I got this fab LTD watch
Its limited edition of 100
Its not the one I asked for,
but I really don't mind at all!
Its so funky,
and its cool that its got a digital display it means I cant get the time wrong!!

And from my lovely besty Tashy,
She drew me
ISNT IT AMAZING!
she is uber talented
I luff luff luff it, she printed it A3 and framed it so I can put it on my wall!

YAY,
so that was my birthday,
regular blogging shall now resume!

Fashion Fix : Fairisle

So I'm a little obsessed with Fairisle at the moment!

I must admit I'd never heard of the name for this style until recently

In fact I wasn't sure it had a name other than ' knitted, christmassy stuff '

But I now know its called fairisle, characterised by bright bold patterns

generally knitted, it has a crafty or eco feel

Here are some of my favourite items from the skirt, clockwise:

Fairisle Skirt: Miss Selfridge £22

Fairisle Mittens: Allsaints £40

Fairisle Trapper Hat: Debenhams £10

Long Navy Fairisle Socks: Toast £22

Close up of Multicoloured Knee Socks (centre): People Tree @ asos £20 (fair trade too!)

Poppy Fairisle Beret: Monsoon £16

Hooded Antler Coatigan: Topshop £95

I have really rubbish circulation so often get numb feet

So I'm always on the lookout for nice socks

I walked past a girl in town wearing these:

She was wearing the dark green ones inside long ugg boots

It looked really good, so good I followed her to ask where they are from!

They are from Holland & Cooper £39

eep, so I didn't buy them, Its just too much for one pair of socks

Instead I bought two pairs of Christmas socks by people tree!

Fair trade and ethical, and half the price!

These are the same as the asos ones in the centre at the top

'Made in Nepal by artisans working with the Kumbeshwar Technical School in Kathmandu, which provides education, vocational training and paid employment to underprivileged workers.'

because they are handmade each pair is unique in pattern and colour

Im uber excited to see what my two pairs look like!

Millys Money Challege!

'ello my lovelies
I have decided to set myself a money challenge!
Mainly because, I've been spending too much recently
and yesterday was the last straw



I received this jacket in the post
(you may recognise it from my birthday list)
I bought it, I just couldn't resist
It was on ASOS reduced from £250 to £175
and it arrived.......
and I LOVE IT
I'm going to try and wear it loads

But it also means that I've spent loads of money in the last few weeks
and what with my birthday and Christmas coming up
I should really be spending my money on other people
plus people will run out of things to buy for me!
(I've already bought the river island ankle boots with tiny studs on the front too)
(oh and the topshop pouch bag!)

so the challenge is
Between now and Christmas, I cannot buy anything for myself
that is more than £20

So I can still buy things, but just little things
and I can buy again when the sales start!
I'm really enjoying buying presents for other people at the moment though
so that should keep me satisfied!

Toodles
