I turned 21 on Tuesday the 16th of September 2014
but had my birthday celebrations on Saturday the 13th of September.
Myself not being a lover of parties well the ones I host myself, I wanted an
intimate gathering of close family and friends. Instead of a function room I
opted for a more laid back pre-drink style of a house party, then headed out to a club
in the city centre after midnight to finish the night out. I still can’t
believe the house party; I wasn’t expecting anything major but my mam really did
go to such an effort and really did outdo herself. My house was turned into a
mini wonderland full of all things sweet, pink and sparkly. Glowing candles lit
the back garden like a magical hue surrounded by sparkly lanterns and garden
ornaments paving the way to a handmade photo booth, and a giant birthday banner near the tables and seats. The
house was filled with pink balloons, and banners as well as a projector
spanning my life from the very beginning up to present day on the sitting room wall and so
much more! My mam incorporated little things from some of my favourite films
and favourite things and so that everywhere I turned there was something I
loved which was so thoughtful and personal. There was an array of foods from
sweet to savoury but the thing that caught the most attention was the birthday cake.
I honestly don’t know where to start because the picture does not do it justice! This big beautiful cake was filled with chocolate sponge and a rocky road type
of filling that was not cut into until the 16th. 21 chocolate sponge cupcakes also surrounded the cake, sadly they had all disappeared before the
picture was taken! I had such a great night being surrounded by my family and
friends, it was all I wanted and wouldn’t change a thing.

September was the quickest month in all honestly I don’t know where it has gone! It was a roller-coaster of month for me, where I had to make some major decisions and I can honestly say I am happy with the outcome. September kicks off my favourite months of the year, as I am an autumnal baby and a lover of all things winter! I’ve vamped my wardrobe and my final things to buy will be my perfect winter coats. My September favourites are all from my 21st Birthday Party weekend, I had that birthday bliss for four days and it was amazing, filled of so much fun laughter and love. My 21st was an event I didn’t even want to mark but I am so happy I did. I am surrounded by the most loyal and loving family and friends, they know who they are and I am so thankful to them all for making my birthday weekend, one I will never forget. <3
The makeup;
As I am a lover of lists, I had a high end beauty list in
the making for several months, thinking I would be purchasing a gift or two for
my birthday, a Christmas present to myself and then little treats here and
there. However, to my surprise my mam and little sisters bought me the content on my wish
list! They also gifted me with birthday
outfit which I adored and other personal things which I won’t disclose. The
makeup I was gifted and featured in the picture above is the Dolce Vita pallet by Charlotte Tilbury (my new obsession) makeupforever matte velvet foundation, YSL shocking mascara, urban decay buck eye shadow, MAC viva glam 2 and MAC paint pot in groundwork. All of the
products are so amazing, I incorporated them all into the makeup I wore on the
night of my birthday!
The outfit
accessories and hair;
I loved my birthday outfit, I had never been so stressed
for an outfit in my life but it was all worth it in the end. I wore a textured
silver crop top and a H&M black pencil skirt with mesh bands at the end.
The outfit was so figure hugging yet flattering at the same time and it was so
comfy I adored it. The heels are my beloved black office heels that I wear to
death they are the ultimate dancing heel as you can go on forever and they are
so easy to walk in! My lovely best friend Tara also curled my hair for the night
which was a nice change instead of my usual go to straightened hair. I also wore
a pink sparkly princess crown because you only turn 21 once right? For jewellery
I opted for a mix and match of gold, rose gold and silver jewellery like the
rebel that I am and a black clutch for a bag.
The actual birthday
day; Tuesday the 16th of September 2014.
I spent the day relaxing with family and friends and for the
evening my little sister brought me to my favourite restaurant for a meal which
was so lovely! We had planned to go to the cinema after however, we were both
exhausted so instead we
went home and watched a film with wine and twirl bites which was perfect. If I’m being honest I don’t think I felt normal until the following
Saturday a whole week after my party!
So that was a look inside my 21st birthday and my September
favourite! What was yours?
Au revoir until next time
