So sorry! I know I promised birthday outfit posts, but alas my weekend was JAM PACKED, and rightly so! It was incredible! My birthday was such a lovely day and with it being payday as well I spent quite a lot of time online shopping, hehe. I got so many lovely things, my gorgeous best friend Danielle got me 18 presents for my 18th birthday, including a little package with a note saying "the one you have loose" and I opened it, it was a screw, the screw I have loose, she thinks she's funny. Along with a lot of leopard print things, ahh she knows me so well. I had a fabulous party too, lots of lovely people and was lovely to see them all again before I leave. It's not the greatest picture, and as you can tell I'm royally sloshed by this point of the evening, but this was my outfit!

Little aqua/turquoise mini dress, loved it! And then I went out last night as well, I'm probably going to do a quick post on that one tomorrow, as it's a Missguided playsuit it's incredible! Really cheeky shorts, but hey ho I do not care! I'll try and be more regular with posting from now on, been such a mental weekend. But thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday too, means a lot!

~ we were barely seventeen.

Just a quick PRE-BIRTHDAY POST! I'm too excited to sleep and have drained every other entertainment resource available to me, pretty much. So I took au naturaaaaal pictures and decided to do a weirdly un-fashion related blog post to pass the time, an hour and 9 minutes, totally not counting... Now an hour and 8.

It's been an especially long wait for this day for me! My best friend was 18 last March and has been waiting patiently for me for 17 months to turn the big 1 8! Most of my pals have been 18 for a considerable amount of time as well, so while they've all been going "Yeah let's hit Oceana tonight" I've been replying "Oh cool, have fun guys, I'll just watch Bargain Hunt." literally.. That is no word of a lie..

I'll most definitely do an outfit post with the full ensemble tomorrow! I'm getting my make-up done at Smashbox tomorrow (for free I might add, woop woop) So I'll definitely be telling you how that was tomorrow, and you'll see the finish results. And I found the PERFECT nail varnish for my dress, literally a perfect match, thankfully! Oh well, you'll all see it tomorrow, how good the blog posts will be I have no idea because I plan to drink most of the day tomorrow, I'm 18. Deal with it.

DAILY WANT 25/08

Houndstooth and Chain Jacket: £69.99 @ Zara
The local Zara in my mall tragically shut down a few months ago (stupid Apple store took it over, boo), so I have been totally missing out on Zara's amazing tailoring and classic prints. I have been after a jacket like this for ages, something a bit heavier than a cardigan and lighter than my biker jacket, this would be PERFECT! Seeing as the print is big and bold, yet still B&W, I could pair this with SO many things, and could dress it up or down for casual or for the night. As there's no Zara near me anymore, I shall have to wait until I'm up in London and knowing my way around, or I could order it. Only 6 days until my birthday AND payday, that shall be a plentiful day, maybe I'll treat myself for my birthday.. Hmm..

~ back to what I was before.

| printed top(size 8): oasis | skirt(size 6): H&M |
I've loved this top since I bought it about a week ago, but I literally couldn't find anything to wear with it, to really show off it's cool and unique shape. I've had this little skirt for like so many years now, and I tend to neglect it and it never really sees the light of day much, but I was having a tidy and re-discovered the beauty! Then it clicked that they would be a very cute pairing! And I think it looks really cute together, so there we go, a new outfit made of new and old, love it! The nails don't really go with the outfit but, haha, they go with my work uniform! Model's Own in Pastel Pink with a Wah Nails for Model's Own pink nail pen to do the leopard art. Something a little different, and it looks really cute against my work outfit as the nail art pen is slightly fluorescent, so it really makes them pop! It's only a week tomorrow until my birthday!! You guys have no idea how excited I am getting, it's finally so close! Also, congrats to everyone who got their GCSE results, hope you got what you wanted!

~ your lips are venomous.

| leopard print shirt (size 6): H&M | denim shorts (size 8): matalan |

Oh have we all been enjoying the mini heatwave? I certainly have, and have been living in this outfit! It's quite a thin and loose shirt so it's so comfortable in the hot weather, and the shorts I've had for YEARS and I can't believe they fit me haha! I've literally had them since I was 13.

I finally had time to give myself a proper manicure last night, nice new set of nails and a good set of nail art, two tone pink spots under the leopard print, my work uniform shorts are pink so I've really only done it to match them as I'm working so much, haha! 

My birthday is finally approaching, officially counting down now, only 3 weeks! Finally going to be 18, and then in another 2 weeks I will be moving to London! What an incredible month I have ahead of me, I am getting so excited now!
