Well, Clarice - have the lambs stopped screaming?

So while I was away on my little blogging holiday I turned 19. It wasn't a big affair, just drinks and food with family and friends. However my present to myself was something a little larger. If you were reading my blog back when I turned 18 I celebrated by getting a tattoo (Jack & Sally to be correct) and that started the tradition. Last year I didn't disappoint (just my mum maybe oops!) and I ended up getting a huge moth done, which was inspiried by the Thomas Harris book & film 'Silence of the Lambs.' Now this baby isn't finished yet, I decided to be a baby and tapped out nearly half way through colour. But not to fear I'm getting this finished on the 12th on Jan, so yes I am super scared but I'm determined to get it finished! It's just so super pretty. This picture is about 8hrs after I left the studio.
I've also decided to book in for 2 roses, one on either foot. I hope they aren't as painful ha! :-)

Birthday Purchases!

As you all know I went shopping on Wednesday with my birthday money and I got lots of lovely things. I did get mainly clothes (like always!) but I did buy some Christmas presents so I am pretty pleased with myself.

lace dress - new look £20 // white bra -debenhams £18 // black & burgundy bra - new look £9 // burgundy skirt - new look £13 // VO5 serum - boots £4 // DVD - cex £3 // studded boots - new look £25 // black skirt - river island £16 // dog card - paperchase £1.50

I also got a few other bits and bobs that aren't on here. But safe to say I haven't done bad, I got nearly everything with student discount and I got some 'higher' brands than normal which is rather nice. I especially like my burgundy skirt and boots, despite them being really high and hard to walk in! (I'm a sucker for cute heels but can't walk in them). However the only thing not mentioned here is the Christmas presents I bought
and that's because I don't want to let them slip for a fellow blogger who bought me a rather lovely notebook.

I also got refitted for some bra's seeing as I haven't been in years. I ended up going from an A to a D cup and I thought I'd treat myself to a nice comfy bra from Debenhams and it is lovely. I know where I'll be spending my Christmas money! I also bought myself a lovely Casio watch and I recently bought an iPod last night - a 160GB Black iPod Classic which I'm so excited to arrive, finally an iPod with space for all my make up. Lovely :)

Birthday Presents!

Now I told you all I'd show you what I got for my birthday as it's been and passed, (it was on Tuesday). I also went shopping yesterday and got some lovely things which I'll show you all tomorrow. However for my birthday all in all I got over £300 due to having a very generous family and quite a big one at that. I absolutely got no presents from my family because I prefer to buy my own. However I did get some presents off my boyfriend, his mum and my brothers girlfriend who blogs over at Miaalice.
Firstly from my boyfriend I got a gorgeous Turkish lamp which was originally just an ornament which his step-dad rigged up to be a lamp. When it's on it shines bright red because of the design, it's absolutely gorgeous. I also got my lovely black Pandora bracelet.

Off my boyfriends mum I got the lovely Soap and Glory products above and some PJ's also above are a selection of cute cards I liked. 

Off my brothers girlfriend - Miaalice I got the most gorgeous little Paperchase notebook ever! Look how she wrapped it up too, it was delightful. She handed me it and I literally squealed, it looked ever so cute!
I also got this nice arrange of sweets from my Grandma which I can tell I'll really enjoy.

Also last but certainly not least I got this from my boyfriend and lemme tell you, it was a shock! He'd early told me he couldn't afford to get me it but I opened this and my heart literally melted. Thing is as well it's such a lovely scent! It goes on quite heavily and then fades to a gorgeous musk that lingers. All I can say is I'm delighted to own it, best thing is - the liquid is black!!

As you can see I was very spoilt indeed both by my boyfriend and my family! My boyfriend even bought me special wrapping paper with little Hello Kitty's on it, it was adorable   I can say it was a very memorable night with lots of pizza and Chinese food, we also had a very yummy chocolate cake! I had a lovely day but I do have to say it does feel rather weird to call myself 17. Ah well, all I know is that I have some shopping to show you tomorrow! :)

Birthday Wishlist!

As your all aware (or not) my birthday is on the 23rd of this month (next week!) I turn 17 and normally at this stage all you get is money to buy your own presents apart from the odd thing. I though I'd make a little wishlist just to remind myself of what I really want. 

1. Lush's Love Lettuce & Cupcake - £6

These are just two of Lush's products I'd like, I want to try all of their bath bombs and face masks, I guess I'll just have to pick a few out and try them first.

2. iPod classic 60G/120G

My iPod touch has had it's run I think, 32G is just not enough space for all my apps and music combined. I think it's time for a small upgrade and I'm determined to get one of these. Their so cute and lovely. I would also love an alarm clock and speakers in one for my iPod/iPhone, I just have to find a cheapish one.

3. Strawberry & Forest Fruits lip scrub £6.95

I saw these on someones blog a while back and thought they were ever so cute and I wanted to try them. I've seem top reviews about Lush's lip scrubs and I want to see what these products are all about and if their as good as everyone's opinions. 

4. Fake Jerffery Campells £34

These shoes are gorgeous. I'm not sure if I'd ever wear them but their always there if I would? These are so gorgeous and I love studded things at the moment as well as boots, I guess I'd just have to learn to walk in them?

5. Boucle Pini £30

I still really badly want this! It's so gorgeous and so cute I just hope it's in stock when I have the money to order it, it's delightful.

6. Casual Vacancy JK £12

I'm such a big fan of her and I just can't say no to her new book! You can pick it up at half price at the moment and I love hard back books so I can't wait for this one. With this I'll have her full collection which I'm very proud to say.

7. Casio Watch in purple £3.99

I've always been a fan of watches I've just never found one that suited me. This one is retro and in a gorgeous colour so I can't wait to get one, it's ever so cute.

8. Bookshelf Kindle Case £16.99

This may be verging on nearly £20 for a kindle case but it's so gorgeous and well my kindle is quite special to me (as are my books) and I'd hate for it to get damaged. This case is ever so cute and well, it's gorgeous and very 'me'.

There is so much stuff not on this list I would love to buy, if only I could remember it, look out for a big shopping haul post when my birthday does arrive because I'll not only have a big shopping spree with birthday money but I'll be getting paid as well.

What's on your wishlist this week?
