Birthday time....

Today was spent beginning my birthday celebrations for my 20th which is on Tuesday (more on that in a sec!) I went out for a little lunch with my family on the Pier at Southwold a seaside town about 30 minutes from where I live. Followed by afternoon tea at my grandparents' house.


Now if you look really closely you can see that beneath the 'Happy Birthday' (iced on rather badly by yours truly) it says Diamond Jubilee - because this is actually meant to be a Jubilee cake! We bought it from Sainsbury's to be my birthday cake as the crown and bunting were just too cute to resist. Plus my birthday is only a day after the Queens! Adding on a little icing made it slightly more personal.

Anyway the reason for starting the birthday celebrations early is because on the actual day on Tuesday I'm off to Bath with my boyfriend Reiss and then on down to Devon so it made sense to celebrate with the family at the weekend. So excited for our little holiday although it does mean there will be a little break from blogging but I'll be sure to take lots of outfit pictures/touristy snaps and do lots of posts when I'm back to make up for it (fingers crossed everyone please for the weather to cheer up a bit!).

How do all of you normally celebrate your birthdays?

Now I'm off to pack, any tips on how to cater for all weathers without taking my whole wardrobe?! xxx

  4. Have a lovely birthday! And enjoy your little break away. Personally I'd just take my whole wardrobe but I find dresses, cardis, plain t-shirts and tights tend to do all weather.xx
