Birthday Presents!

Hey there! So it's been super long since I've updated this thing. I've missed it so much! I was drowning in work and have finally (almost) climbed my way out of it! I really should be doing some right now in fact... Oh well! I'll get to it soon. My birthday was just about a week ago, and I got a a few very nice things from my boyfriend and my mum. My mum sent a little package from back home as she isn't here in England with me! Here's what my mum got me:

She sent me a few other bits and bobs like 2 tops, a few more rings and a pack of chips (I LOVE these 'chili chips' and can't get them here in England, how sweet of her haha). 

And this is what my boyfriend got me:

GHD Midnight Deluxe Collection

If you read the very first wish list I blogged about, you'd know how much I wanted a GHD! But this, is beautiful beyond words. The case, the little mirror, even the hair clips! There are very few hair straighteners that give that shine to your hair after straightening, and actually make your hair look healthy rather than limp and lifeless. I really love this thing! I really can't thank my man enough. He was also sweet enough to get me the cutest, not to mention the perfect cake for me!: 

Nom nom nom - Shoe cake!

All in all it was one of the best birthday's ever. I celebrated it 5 different times with 5 different groups of people I love the most! I didn't get to celebrate with my lovely family back home (they did celebrate my birthday without me. Weird family, I know.) I am so grateful for everything and I really couldn't ask for more. 

I also wanted to show you guys a pair of shoes that my aunt got for me before I came back to England for my second year. I accidentally left them at home and only realized on the plane on my way back to England. Silly me, eh? My mum did send them with a friend who went home for Christmas holidays, and I finally got my hands on them after a few months of missing them terribly. Here they are:

She got them at H&M in Hong Kong last summer, so I doubt they are still available. I'm sure you can find a dupe, it's quite a common design. They are so comfortable to walk in and look so great with leggings! 

So on a completely different note, did you guys manage to catch a glimpse of the 'Super Moon'? I could see it so clearly right from my window!

Super Moon

It was so beautiful! Nature at its best? It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, but still, what a sight. If you're interested, here is a link to some mind blowing shots that people around the world managed to take!

This post is turning out to be much longer than I thought. Oops.

If you're on Twitter, you know that #100factsaboutme is trending. It's so much fun to read about other people! If you're tweeting on this trend, let me know what your user name is, because I'd love to read! I also follow QueenOfBlending on Twitter, and she did this gorgeous green look that I would love to try:

Here is her tutorial on it! 

I think greens are perfect for Spring. I'm really loving everything coral too. What is your favorite Spring trend? Let me know! 

So this is it from me. Hope you're all having a great week.

My Wishlist

No girl can have enough of anything. Here are a few (okay, maybe a little more than that) things that I want right now!

Louis Vuitton - Speedy 35

I think the best thing about LV bags are that they go with pretty much any outfit you throw together; I mean that in every sense. Casual, formal, you name it. I'd have to give up eating if I decide to get this bag. (Yes, another broke university student) Anyhoo, it adds a lovely touch to any look.

GHD IV salon styler

Yes, I am that broke. To be honest, I don't really straighten my hair all that much, but that's only because I've never owned a GHD hair styler. I am currently using a Toni and Guy hair straightener, and the results are definitely not the same as those of a GHD. I think if I had one I would straighten my hair more often...

Christian Louboutin - OTK Suede Button Up Boots in Black

Christian Louboutin - OTK Suede Button Up Boots in Black

                                                   

Aren't these to die for?! I think they just might be the sexiest boots I have ever seen. And you've probably already noticed that I have a little thing for boots. Guilty. To be honest though, I don't own a lot of them. Anyway look at how gorgeous they are! They're not exactly the newest thing in fashion, but I think they won't ever go out of fashion. They would look especially amazing with skin tight skinnies and a comfy jumper?

Marc Jacobs - Lola

Okay this may sound a bit silly, but I don't even know what this perfume smells like. The bottle is so pretty though! I wouldn't even want to use it, just leave it on my table and let it look pretty haha.

NARS - Albatross

NARS bronzer - Laguna

NARS blush - Dolce Vita

Gorgeous colours. 'Nuff said. All hail Francois Nars!


So these are a few of the things I'm really after at the moment. I think we all know what my savings account is going to look like soon.
