Birthday Clothes Choices!

Hiiii.

Do you remember who I am? I apologize for my absence!

I've been away a lot mostly because of work (being a grown up is HARD) but also.. It was my birthday last week so I was at home visiting family and friends..

I'm now 22.. 

I've been out galvanting around the country (both England and Northern Ireland) and I thought I would do a quick post to show what I've been wearing as I've been celebrating/drowning my sorrows.

My first night out was in Brighton with my besties from Uni.. It was messy!!

We (read I) took too long to get ready so outfit pictures weren't a priority as we jumped into the hotel lift and went downstairs to jump in the taxi but I did manage to grab a quick lift pic!

My playsuit was from Primark and was £13! Really comfortable and effective! I paired it with old nude Topshop heels and a nude studded clutch bag from Primark! Easy outfit but it worked really well! Alice's (in the middle) dress is from Miss Selfridge but from a while ago! And Lizzies playsuit is from Topshop but I don't know when!!

I went home a few days later and on the actual day of my birthday had a lovely pamper spa day and lunch with my mum! We kept it casual but I did use it as an excuse to stick on some false eyelashes!

Jumper is from Primark (£8) - I'm a little bit obsessed with these eyelash style jumpers, they're everywhere! I have this bright yellow one from Primark, and a fuschia one from Matalan! So comfortable and cosy! I layered the jumper over this dress from Monki (£25) and paired it with black tights, black Chelsea boots and this feather scarf from Accessorize that my landlady bought me for my birthday :) The eyelashes I'm wearing are Red Cherrys and it's MAC's 'Whirl' on my lips!

Next was a shopping trip to Belfast to basically splurge all of my birthday money.. Charcoal biker jeans from Next Outlet (£24), White wrapover blouse from Select (£11.99) and this aaaamaazing fur stole from Topshop (£28)! I would never justify that kinda money generally, but I had gift vouchers from Alice and frankly I'm 100% in love with the stole and it's worth it!!

This was from my main birthday night out in Belfast, where we stayed at the etap hotel which was super cheap and amazing! Such a good location as well! We were going for a 'grown-up' night, where we dressed responsibly and behaved ourselves.. We behaved but only because we couldn't get drunk! Top is £12 from Dorothy Perkins, trousers (I am obsessed with these) are from River Island and were £15 in the sale (not online - go have a ruffle around in the sale section in store)! Shoes are my new favourite things in da world from Dorothy Perkins (£29), mules!! Never thought I'd appreciate this style but I am in love with them! Be careful though, I did get the heel stuck in a drain!! Typical Rach night out dramaaaa haha.

Final selfie before I left to go back to London.. Kind of show casing my new amaaaazing coat that I literally spent most of my birthday cash on.. From Marks and Spencers, which is somewhere I never usually shop in, but I walked through the door, seen this and it was love at first sight!! It was £89 which was super steep compared to my usual Primarni special winter coats.. But it's absolutely worth the money, such good quality and it will last!! 

Hope you enjoyed this quick post on what I wore over the last few weeks!

I hope to get a quick post done on what I got for my birthday beauty wise etc before I go away to Switzerland with work next week! Keep an eye out for a post soon!

Mucho loves!!

Outfit of the night!

Hiiiiii! Once again sorry for the hiatus! I'm working flat out and everytime I get a day off I end up sleeping half the day away and being fit for nothing!! This is just a quick post to show what I wore out for dinner with my family on Saturday evening! The pictures were just quick snapshots I took before running out the door.. As I was late as per usual!! We went to Ed's Diner in Lisburn which is unbelievable! 

 

I wore Topshop's velvety leggings that I got in the sale last season.. But I seen they're in stock again for this autumn/winter so it means I can continue to wear them and not feel like I'm a season late! 

My baseball top is from h&m! It was £14.99 and I love it! Similar in style to the siksilk pieces, just without the hefty pricetag!! The vest top underneath is primark by the way!

My boots.. I think I'm in love with them! I've been wanting cut out boots for a while, seen these and fell head over heels in love! The best thing is they're from Primark and only cost £20! Bargain!! 

My denim jacket is from Oasis last year! The great thing about denim jackets is they can be brought out year after year.. This one was £48 so I intend to get a few more summers wear out of it!!

My necklace is last season from Primark, and my earrings are from the discount jewellery store Muse in Belfast! Ring is from Topman! And I got my lovely new bright pink Casio in Argos, were it was on sale for £9.99.. BARGAIN. I'm quickly becoming a Casio collector! My lipstick is 22 by Kate Moss for Rimmel! 

One last full body snap! Taken by my very uncooperative little brother who refused to retake even when my bra was out! So I apologise for that!! 

I'll be back soon I promise! I'm back to Manchester in 8 days so hopefully once I finish work on Thursday and get packed up for going back I'll have time to get a few more posts done! 

Thanks for reading! Xxxx
