What a glorious day! This week on eBay I've found some great items for A/W, which are pretty inappropriate for our little heatwave, whoops. I'm most definitely still stuck in those endless rainy days we had! Nonetheless, I'm sure Autumn will all pop up on us much sooner than expected!

Trying On

Top: Primark | Skirt: Primark (old) | Shoes: Topshop | Cat Bracelet: New Look | Spike Bracelet: eBay | Nails: Models Own 'Beach Party' and 'Bubblegum'

After my shopping trip to London last week, I had a little trying on session - Oxford Street Primark changing rooms are a massive no no, so it's just routine! I really like this top (I have the parrot one too) but this one just doesn't seem to sit right. The heart is quite stiff and doesn't hang well, which is a shame. 

The skirt is really old now and I was trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I ended up making an outfit out of the two and thought I might as well snap a few pictures. Should I keep the skirt?

I best be off now as I'm going out for dinner soon and I still have a towel on my head! Have a good Saturday night whatever you're doing :)

Birthday

On Tuesday, I waved goodbye to my teenage years.. I can't quite believe I'm 20! It just so happened that the Olympic torch was coming through my town on my birthday so that sorted out my birthday quite nicely! So nice of them to celebrate my b'day like that, muhahaha ;)

I was inundated with CAKEEE. My Granny made me a strawberry one for a birthday lunch, my friend made me the messy chocolate cake which fell apart in her car and my Mum got me some cupcakes and a cream cake (my favourite!) Oh, and lets not forgot the honeycomb cheesecake I had at Prezzo in the evening! 

My patriotic red, white and blue outfit. My new camera/baby - which most annoyingly you can now get on Buyapowa and new camera strap! My other baby. Still keeping it classy at the age of 20.

Playing with my new camera! I got these make up bits in London last week, I treated myself and invested in 'Pale Barley' eye shadow as I think it's the shade the Urban Decay Naked palette is missing! 

Jewel Britannia by Barry M | I found the famous Topshop lipstick in Crystal! I thought it was long gone. If you're still looking for one go to the new beauty hall at John Lewis on Oxford Street, they had a few left :) | Last but certainly not least, yesterday, after two years, I got my braces OFF! :D

I also got a quilted jacket for my birthday and a few other little bits, all of which I am extremely thankful for :) Not a bad birthday!

Wish List #22 | A - Z

American Apparel Nail Polish | Bourjois Nail Polish Remover | Canon 1100D | Daisy Perfume | Eclipse Nail Polish | Fix + Spray | Glamping Bracelet | Henna Cones | Innocent Lipstick | Jumper | Kitty Shoes | Loafers

Make up Storage | Nail Strengthener | Open Shoulder Top | Paul's Boutique Coin Purse | Queen of Green Nail Polish | Red Liquid Eye Liner | Studded Tote | Today's Outfit Top | Union Jack Lip Tattoo | Vibrant Glitter Ballet Pumps | Wildfox Jumper |  YSL Clutch | Zara Studded Clutch

Argh, somewhere along the line my picture quality decreased lots! There's a few things on this list I've already bought as I started working on this wish list before I went to London - probably wasn't the wisest idea! Alsooo, it's someone's birthday on Tuesday ;)

I cheated a bit on the letter X but I was completely stuck! Some of the names of the products are a bit odd too - I know it looks like I've made them up! Haha. The ombre jumper, the spiked loafers and the kitty shoes are the things I want most so maybe you'll be seeing those in the future!

Bones

Top: Topshop Sale | Skirt: H&M | Tights: Primark | Rings: H&M | Lips: 'Powder Room' | Nails: 'Bubblegum' & 'Beach Party'

I was so pleased to spot this top in the Topshop sale the other day! I snapped it up straight away as I'd contemplated buying it for full price before. I was worried it'd be a a bit 'Halloweeny' but I think the skeletons are cute enough for it not to be. I really like the cut out shoulders and have since bought another cut out shoulder top (outfit soon!) I paired it with my H&M skirt, which is usually reserved for nights out as it's so short! When I bought it I didn't realise it was high waisted! I wore super thick tights with it - basically leggings with feet, and my Converse which I can't get enough of at the moment. 

Not much to report for today, I'm going to start packing later as I'm going camping tomorrow - Rain, if you're reading this GO AWAY NOW! ...I keep watching and looking up the weather but it doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Looks like another weekend of wearing a waterproof poncho - a.k.a a bin bag as my waterproof can't handle this much rain. Oh so glam.

P.s. Does anyone know how to get rid of those stupid lines in my last photo?
