birthday gifts

26.8.15






MY BIRTHDAY WAS ON THE JULY 12TH. Bit late, Edie. I think I might have left out a few things by accident, and as I'm writing this I just remembered one thing.. Ah well.

01  The two books - Deliciously Ella was a surprise from my mum, probably with good intentions to make me eat healthier. Sorry mum. The recipes are actually beautiful, and I really really really want to try them!! After picking up the rookie yearbook 1 in April and falling in love with it, I've been begging subtly hinting for the second one. aaaaand of course I love it.

02 The mini origins skincare set is from boots but I don't think it's available there anymore. It was so handy for going away and it all smells amazing.

03 Urban Outfitters: the clothes are beautiful but the prices?? I showed my mum this jumper and she hated it, but still it wound up wrapped in front of me.. and I think it's starting to grow on her. The dress was a surprise after we were walking through Topshop and I spent a good 10 minutes looking at it.

04 What is a haul without some Lush? The tea tree toner water is an essential for me and I've gone through too many bottles. The face mask was a gift from one of my lovely friends because they know me way too well.

05 Oh mum, you know what I like. I'd heard of Venessa Arizaga before, but never really considered buying anything because it's ridiculously overpriced. I'm not sure how my mum found out about it, but I love her for it 

06 My collection of bikinis is forever growing, and this one from Topshop I LOVE. But can you imagine the tan lines?


07 Also don't need any more blushers but this is a bronzer and a highlighter too sooooo can you really argue? The only things I own from mac are lipsticks so the paintpot in chilled on ice was a lovely gift, and the colour is gorrgeeeoussss!


08 STAN SMITHS. YEP. REALLY. Anyone who knows me will know how long I've been wanting these. I wear them 24/7, I'll never get bored, they're just too perfect. It's simply a bonus they go with everything.


09 And finally, the kings of skincare, Aesop. I think they're mostly known for their hand balms and hand soaps, but I was really intrigued by their hair care. So far, this is the only shampoo and conditioner that won't make my hair feel like straw in the morning when I go to sleep with wet hair.

  9. Ugh what a shame, I'm sure the present I got you would have looked amazing in these photos.Your family and friends were so thoughtful/creative with your gifts, mine just chucked a Zara giftcard at me haha. Your Stan Smiths are making me jealous, I'll definitely be getting a pair once I land on British soil lol.

  11. Happy very belated birthday! I got twitchy fingers just looking at your fingers, I'll have to hide my wallet and block myself from the Topshop website now!

    I love that striped bikini - high neck tops were everywhere this summer! Hopefully the tan lines aren't too bad.
