Birthday Haul

Hi everyone,
It was my birthday on 29th July and I thought I would show you some of the stuff I got. Part of my birthday gift from my parents was to go to London so this is also including what I bought there. I called this a half birthday haul as not all my friends have given me my presents yet, as my party was quite short notice and is in the  summer holidays. Anyway hope you enjoy!

My first gift was from my friend, Charlotte and I couldn’t be bothered to get the DVD from downstairs so this picture is from google. But I asked her for box sets for my birthday and I just finished Skins series 2 so I can’t wait to start series 3 as I’ve loved the previous ones!

Charlotte also got me this really nice Papaya Body Butter from The Body Shop, that oddly smells like a mixture of mango and papaya but still smells amazing. Thank you Charlotte!

My friend Megan got me these gorgeous Body Shop products in the Water Lotus scent and I’ve never smelt these before but they smell amazing! It was in a little gift set with a loofah, shower gel and body spray, I’ve used the body spray and it was so nice.

Also as a little present Megan got me a Doctor Who activity book, as I like Doctor Who and who doesn’t love activity books also STICKERS.

Megan also got me a stick of marshmallows covered in chocolate, which I have yet to eat because I always save food people give me as gifts for ages. Thank you Megan!

My friend Ayesha got me some really nice chocolates in gorgeous wrapping (also I’ve had a few already and they’re really delicious.) Thank you Ayesha!

My friend Kate got me this gorgeous jar, which I’m probably going to use for a candle or something else.

           

Kate also got me this little paper decoration which I’m going to hang in my room at some point as I bet it’s going to look really pretty, especially as the paper looks thin and therefore light will shine through it.

            

Kate also got me this cute hat as she knows I like hats and its got little cat ears on it, I’ve only worn this once so far as I haven’t really been out of the house but I know I will get a lot of wear out of it. Thank you Kate!

My friend Alice got me the Starbuck Caramel Drizzle Sauce because OH MY GOD, this thing is heaven. Every time I’ve ever been into Starbucks I’ve always said if I ever bought one I’d drink the whole thing. Alice therefore made my dreams come true, I have yet to drink the whole thing but I’ve had little tastes

.

Alice also got me these Birthday cake M&Ms, which I have yet to eat because I want to save them.

        

Alice also got me these amazing Happy Birthday sunglasses which are super cool and I was wearing them all day on my birthday. Thank you Alice!

My friend Sophie got me this really lovely gift, which is one of those gifts that I probably wouldn’t buy for myself but makes a lovely gift and is super cool. It’s basically a book which gives you different titles to list movies to do with the title it gives you. It’s perfect for me because I love making lists and I love films. I haven’t started using it though because I’m a perfectionist when it comes to things like these and it has to be perfect. Thank you Sophie!

My friend Tara got me this amazing present which is a tote bag that says “I was a teenage popstar in Canada” which is a quote from How I Met Your Mother (which is also my favourite TV Show).

Tara also got me this Kate Middleton style guide as I love her and he clothes 🙂 Thank you Tara!

My parents and my brother got me this satchel as they know I’ve wanted one for a long time and I’m in love with this one and I’ve got so much use out of it. It’s also something that easily goes with everything  and you can use it for a day outing as it’s roomy but also is light so you can use it for just a short trip.

My parents and my brother got me this gorgeous jumpsuit from Urban Outfitters, which is super comfy and is easy to style with and I’m so in love with it. Thank you to my parents and my brother!

 

Our friends we stayed with on our first night in London got me this really nice Jack Wills pencil case which I’ll either use as a pencil case or a little make up bag to carry around in my main bag. They also got me a pen as well, so thank you!

  

Our friends we stayed with on the second night got me this flower crown from Beyond Retro.

They also got me this lip gloss from Soap and Glory, which is the Sexy Mother Plucker (this is supposed to make your lips look bigger and it does but it also makes your lips super tingly and it’s funny). Thank you to them both as well!

Now these are the things I bought in London which are also part of my birthday presents. I got this necklace from & other stories, it’s super pretty and I think it can be worn casually of formally.

I got these sunglasses from Beyond Retro which I think were £14 but I’m not sure, I really love these style of glasses and this colour but I’m really not sure they suit me.

    

I got this really pretty 30cm ruler from Liberty as I needed one and it was pretty.

I got these comfy trousers from Uniqlo and I love these because  you can just throw them on but they still look pretty and not scruffy like some tracksuit bottoms or others.

I got this shirt from New Look, which was so soft and I thought I could either wear it as a jacket, not fully buttoned up with a top underneath, fully buttoned up or fully buttoned up with a jumper over the top and the collar peeking out.

I got this book from Anthroplogie (which is one of my new favourite shops) as I love old classic books with new pretty covers.

I got these really nice trousers from Uniqlo which I’m in love with and I think they can be worn formally or casually. I’ve been looking for trousers like this for ages and I love them.

I got this shirt from Urban Outfitters because I’ve wanted a plaid shirt because you can wear it in many ways like tied around your waist, under a jumper, fully buttoned up, open over a top, half buttoned up over a top or under another jacket sticking out and probably many others.

                 

I got this t-shirt from Uniqlo but it was actually from the mens section, but I have a big love for Monsters Inc and I mean a /big/ love.

I got this tied crop Hawaiian style shirt and the colours are so pretty and I’m in love with this.

I got this denim pinafore also from Beyond Retro because I’ve wanted one for so long and I loved the little pattern below the neck line, so far I’ve worn this with the Hawaiian shirt above, underneath.
