My blogging return!

I'm back! Remember me? After a blogging break to finish my final uni exams, move to London, start my new job and turn 21 it has been a crazy month. But I'm hoping now everything is starting to settle down I can begin my move back to blogging- I've really missed it!

So in true instagram style I thought what best way to share with you what I've been up to than to share my snaps.

Top row left to right: 

1) My birthday day out to Brick Lane- Rough Trade and All Star Bowling, 

2) Turning 21 on Wednesday

3) The cupcake tower at my parents' party last weekend.

Bottom row left to right: 

1) Cheeky after work drinks to catch up with my girls- Victoria and Rachel, 

2) My gorgeous new room in my new flat 

3) A trip to One New Change's Madison bar- just round the corner from where I now work with incredible views over London.

I'm now a fully fledged south Londoner and can't wait to share my up and coming adventures!

My Birthday in Bath

Hi everyone! I'm finally back after my week away, looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs and seeing what you have all been up to and posting about.

Last Tuesday was my 20th birthday and I went away with my boyfriend to Bath for a night before we went on to Devon for the main part of our holiday (post about Devon to be following this!). I had the most amazing day, we hadn't visited Bath before so it was great to be exploring somewhere new. Our hotel was situated right in the heart of the city which was a real bonus. The architecture was stunning and I couldn't resist taking loads of photos-

Outfit of the second day- Dress: H+M  Bag: Urban Outfitters  Belt and Shoes: Primark

There was so much to see but our highlights were the Royal Crescent which looked gorgeous in the sunshine, the Roman Baths (guess I'm biased as a Classics student!!), Victoria Park and the gorgeous streets lined with shops. It really was an amzing place! We had dinner at Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant and had the most delicious prawn linguine.

If any of you have been to Bath I'd love to know where your favourite places there are!

I would definitely visit Bath again and what with it only being 80 minutes by train from London it's pretty easy and quick to get there! Also I thought I would share with you some of my presents I got for my birthday-

Jack Wills sunglasses, Topshop glitter nail varnish, bath bomb, chocolates, Mark Hill hair care, itunes voucher, Biba purse, Clinique foundation, Urban Outfitters handbag (would anyone like to see me do a vlog about some of these?) xxx

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
