MY BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

Bardot Top: Topshop // Cami : Topshop // Hairdryer: Dyson // Sponge: Real Techniques // Choker: Johnny Loves Rosie // Becca Palette: Space NK // Birkenstocks : Jones Bootmaker // Watch: Johnny Loves Rosie

My birthday is fast approaching! I'm going to be turning 24, I don't know where the years are going it's just flying by. This is going to be my first birthday since we've had the flat so I don't think our budget will stretch to anything too expensive. I thought i'd put together a wishlist and share a few bits i'd love to get for my birthday this year. 

The Dyson hairdryer is out of our price range at just under £300 but would be such an amazing gift but very unrealistic. I love getting new clothes for my birthday, there's a couple of tops in Topshop that have caught my eye. I've wanted the stripe cami for a while now. I might go on a little shopping spree with my birthday money and pick up some new clothes. It would be nice to get some new clothes that actually fit, my wardrobe is full of clothes that are too big for me now. I watched a video about this new Real Techniques Diamond sponge today and it looks amazing. I've been thinking about picking up a make up sponge for a little while now so I might get one with my birthday money and give it ago. I already own a pair of Birkenstocks, i've been wearing them so much at work recently but I want to get a white pair, this pair from the Jones Bootmaker website would be perfect. As you know I went along to the Johnny Loves Rosie blogger event last week, you can read my blog post here. Since then i've been browsing their website as i'm loving their products. In particular  I love this watch, I spotted it at the event it's gorgeous and I really want a choker, I love how dainty this one is and it would be perfect with lots of outfits. The Becca Palette is gorgeous and I love how pretty this is. I use my Becca Champagne Pop highlighter every single day so I think this palette would be such a great addition to my collection. 

I love putting together wishlists and I know Clint always checks out my wishlists for some inspiration which I think is so cute. I always book a week off for my birthday and we usually go away on holiday but this year I think we are just going to chill together and do a few day trips etc maybe a weekend away so send over some ideas and whats on your wishlists right now?

REVIEW: BIRKENSTOCKS C/O CLOGGS

 BIRKENSTOCKS - £39.99* - C/O CLOGGS  





Hello people! I haven't blogged for a few days as things have been pretty manic! I'm currently working two jobs aswell as doing a bit of voluntary work helping at some art classes to get some classroom experience. So pretty please bear with me, I'm going to hopefully do some blogging tomorrow night. I tried to get some done tonight however once I had checked and replied to emails the night has got away from me again.

Anyway today I wanted to share a lovely pair of sandals I was recently sent by Cloggs.co.uk
When I first saw Birkenstocks I will admit I was one of those people that swore I wouldn't get on the Ugly sandal bandwagon but here I am with a pair of Birkenstocks. First of all they are not that Ugly in real life and once i'd saw a pair in the shops I became more of a fan. The style is quite simple which makes them a good value for money because the classic style won't go out of fashion.

I got a trusty black pair however they come in lots of different colours. I have a matte pair but they also come in patent.  They are really comfy shoes, I wear mine to work alot! I'm on my feet for 8-9 hours a day and they don't hurt me at all. About 5 people at my work own a pair (kat has about 10 pairs haha) They are just fab for everyday. I like to wear mine with midi-skirts and cute dresses because they give an outfit a boho style. Honestly at first I didn't think they were that comfy but once i'd worn them in now they are amazing, they are now shaped to my feet.

They are easy to keep clean, you can just give them a little wipe over with a baby wipe. They are a great quality, very sturdy and firm. They are well worth the money, you know they are going to last you a long time.  I have my eyes on a white pair which I think will be perfect for my upcoming holiday to Turkey, I will be doing loads of walking so a comfy pair of sandals is a must have!

Do you have a pair of Birkenstocks?
