My 23rd Birthday Gifts | Video #3

Hellooooo Wonderful ones, so here's my third youtube video for you to have a nose at! Is it okay to post my YouTube videos on my blog? Not sure if it's the 'done' thing or not? Let me know if it's a pain / if you as my blog readers aren't really interested in video's :)

I asked in my previous video, if anyone would like to see one on what I got for my birthday. Everyone that commented said 'yes perlease', so gotta keep y'all happy righty? I was a little apprehensive to post it, as I didn't want it to come across as 'ooh, look what I got for my birthday', because that's genuinely not what it was for; it was just so you lovely lot could see all my new bits, sort of like a haul! So, without further ado, here it is:

Again, super sorry for the CRAP quality. Seriously, I have no idea what I'm doing with youtube or making videos. If anyone wants to give me some guidance, it would be HUGELY appreciated. for example, why the hell does it take 5 HOURS to upload an MP4 file on a PC; & when I change the file format to AVI. for a speedier upload, does it lose all it's quality? I just don't know :( *sobs* here is my cry for help guys!!

Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed it :) I was spoilt rotten & have some seriously lovely people in my life! I'm literally so excited to use my new SLR.


Do you have any other requests for videos you'd like to see?


What's on your Birthday wishlist?


P.S. How on earth do I make my preview of my videos larger? (like you can with images?) 

23rd Birthday Happenings..

I asked on my latest post if any of you yummy lot would like to be nosy parkers & see what I got up to over my birthday weekend. The general consensus was ‘yes, please’; & let’s face it, everyone’s a little bit nosy right? :) I know I am!

It was such a busy, lovely weekend, jam-packed with activities, & LOTS of walking.

So, prepare yourself for a very heavy photo post…

Firstly, we dropped our bags off at the hotel. 

How pretty is this building!? It’s St Ermin’s Hotel, in Kensington, so reasonably central :)

We then headed on down to the National History Museum, as the boy hadn’t been there before. Of course, I found a fox..

Daniel had booked us in for an afternoon tour at the London Dungeons. I’m not gunna lie, I was CRAPPING myself. I love scary films & books, but when it comes to me being physically involved in an unknown situation, I freak oooout! It was great fun, but I came out rather sweaty from being so tense the whole time haha.

Nandos was the next stop, NOM, we literally wolfed our meals down in a matter of minutes, before scuttling off to see MATILDA THE MUSICAL waaaaaaaaa. Never, ever, have I been so god damn excited. I am a huge Musical fanatic & this has been top of my list for a long time. It didn’t disappoint on any level; & I think I can quite confidently say, even if you’re not a musical fan, that you would love this.

How pretty is the set too? I want to go & see it again, & again. Who want’s to take me? ;)

I was pretty pooped after that day, so it was a quick cheeky cocktail & then beddy byes for us. Sunday morning we were up bright & early for a deee-lish breakfast at the hotel..

..before walking to madamme tussaudes. I’d never been before, & it was on my London to-do list, so I was really excited! The wax figures really are incredible, & the place is HUGE, seriously, you definitely get what you pay for. I’m not sure it’s something you’d do more than once in your life, but it’s a great thing to experience.

Shopping was next, courtesy of the boy ;) If you want to see what I picked you can have a watch of my recent haul video, here.

<3

We then travelled home on the train to get up super early again for THE HARRY POTTER TOUR, que second ‘waaaaaaa!’ of the post! Seriously, it was incredible. Have any of you lovelies been too?

BUTTER BEER!!!

So, that was my birthday weekend in a nutshell! I had such a wonderful time, & as slushy as it sounds, I am very lucky to have such a lovely boy who spoils me rotten.

What's your favourite thing to do in London?

Outfit Post | Do you like Disco?

As some of you who follow my twitter will know, I went away to London on the weekend with the boy, to celebrate my birthday. It was just a bit special, I literally had the most amazing time, but my actual birthday wasn’t until Tuesday 3^rd; so I thought I would do a wee outfit post for ya’ll to have a nose, of what I wore to my ‘birthday meal’.

Dun, dun, dunnnnnnnnnnn, DISCO PANTS! Now, I know that loooads of you will be sat there thinking “ergh, what on earth possessed her”, & I know that these won’t be to everyone’s taste. But honestly, I really, really love them. Anyway, I like pretending I'm Sandy from Greece, the resemblance is uncanny right? ;) pah.
They are definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, the tightest pair of pants I have ever owned, but it’s okay to be a bit daring now & then isn’t it? :) I hope so. 
Now, at a whopping £70 from American Apparel, they are a bit pricey. Usually I wouldn’t pay anything near this amount for trousers/pants; but I really did fall in love with them when I tried them on. (Plus the boy bought them for my birthday, so that’s even better ;)). There are quite a few shops now offering more affordable copies of these, so it’s worth shopping around if you like them; but you cannot knock the quality of these bad boys, they are super sturdy! (No ripping of the bum area when bending down, HA). You definitely pay for what you get. I also really like their riding pants, in the colour Henna. The girl in the shop had them on & she looked fab!

I paired them with this coral 'Angela' blouse. I love the rose gold studded detail, & I’m a huge fan of blouses with collars. It’s made by Dahlia Fashion, (amazing shop, check it out if you haven't already!), although I actually picked it up in Topshop. I did have a look on both their websites, & I don't think they sell my colour anymore; however you can pick a similar one up here.

My little shoesies are from Camden Market, in London. & I picked them up for £10. You can always find a great bargain there, and these are of such great quality.

What do you lovely lot think of Disco Pants? Are you a lover or a hater? I’m acutely aware that my first two outfit posts may be slightly controversial, but hey, I like what I like! :)

If you’d like to see a post on what I got up to over my birthday weekend, then let me know!


p.s. i've totally just realised that the label is at the front & i'm actually wearing the blouse back to front HA. fail.

Happy Birthday Pudding & Pie

This is George, he is our family guinea pig & we love him dearly:

Today is his 7^th Birthday. Happy Birthday Georgie Porgie! 7 years old…that’s quite impressive for a little pig made of guinea non? Super impressive in my eyes; so I thought he deserved a little birthday post dedicated solely to him! There's a few grey hairs coming on..but that's to be expected..

He’s such a happy little fella & we’ll no doubt be spoiling him with one too many dandelion leaves this evening. Feel free to wish him a Happy Birthday below!! :)
