My Auntie, Uncle and Cousins got me these gifts above and I love every single one of them. I have be looking at this Zara Mini City Bag With Zip Detail for ages and wasn't sure weather to buy it or not but now that I have it in my life I love it. It will be great coming into the Spring/Summer as it is a lovely light pink colour. The bag is still available to purchase online. I love the beautiful silver necklace and I know I will be wearing this a lot in Spring/Summer. Even though my jewellery collection is mainly large statement necklaces I do love to wear smaller finer necklaces too.
The floral notebook is from Paperchase and will be handy when writing down new blog ideas. I have some reading to do with this blogging book. I want to lean a lot more about blogging and try to write better blogs for all my readers.
My final gift was a photo album from Paperchase with lots of photos of me and my family when I was younger and growing up. This brought back some funny memories and some "What was I wearing" moments.
I love what my sister got me as they have been items I have been looking at and really wanting to try out but never did. Everyone knows about the Urban Decay Naked palettes but I have never tried or owned any so I was so happy when I opened this. She also got me the eyelid primer in original to go with it. I'm really behind the times with not ever having the Porefessional primer but now that I have it I use it everyday in my make up routine. Two things from Lush are fun and a Butterball Bath Ballistic. My favourite gift of all is the letter A coaster, I don't know why I love it so much, but I do!
Just some silly 18 themed things like a photo frame, badge, coaster and key chain.
My other Auntie got me a very similar bag from Zara which is called the City Bag with Zips. I chose this bag as I wanted a plain black bag that would go with everything. Also from Zara I got this beautiful necklace. It has diamantes, small stones and its just really sparkly. I have been looking for a new purse for ages and when I see one I like I have to have it. The purse is grey and from T K Maxx but the make is Just Cavalli.
From my Mum and Dad they got me lots of little things but I picked these two as my favourite to show you all. The mug is so me and it says, "Daughter you're a real gem.... Beautiful and expensive". The wooden plaque fits in well in my bedroom and I love the quote on it.
These two candles are from Tosca (My Dog) yes, I know my dog gets me birthday presents. The candle on the right is Apple and Raspberry which smells amazing. I wish you could all smell how good it is. It is my the brand Sebnin of England and I have never tried them before so lets hope it is good.
The other candle doesn't have a name or brand on it but believe me it smells amazing too. The packaging is really pretty as it has bicycles all around the glass.
One of my main presents from my Mum and dad was Jo Malone perfume. I love Jo Malone so much, in my mind they can do no wrong. I got my perfume from Selfridges and the lady that served us was so good to us. We got an arm and hand massage done and she brought us champagne and chocolates to enjoy for my birthday. The perfume I chose is Wisteris and Violet which is from the Limited Edition Collection called London Rain.
When we came home from London there was one present waiting for me as soon as I opened the door. I couldn't wait to open it and as soon as I took the wrapping paper off I saw a MK dust bag, so I knew it was a handbag. I love this bag so much,it is perfect. It is called the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Medium Tote in Tan. It is the perfect size to carry all that I need and will look amazing in the Spring/Summer.
I know I said it would be quick (which it isn't) but I wanted to share with you what I got for my Birthday. I am so grateful and thankful for all my amazing gifts and I wont be needing to buy a new handbag any time soon.
