My 26th Birthday!!!

Outfit

Dress - House of CB

Clutch - Primark

My Goodness how time flies. I remember leaving school - that was 10 years ago, and I remember going to uni for the first time (8 years ago) and getting my student ID, looking at the date which said year of graduation 2014 and thinking pfff thats ages away, and now I am 26 years old! *sigh* I feel like such a grown up.

My birthday is on January 5th and there are pros and cons of being born in January, cons being: it's always cold / raining so I can never have a bbq, and almost everyone has spent all their money on Christmas and New Years. BUT the pros are, I almost feel like I change as the year changes so it always feels like a clean slate and fresh start.

My birthday felt extra special this year, I didn't have a huge party, I just had me and my Mr Man and he went the extra mile to make everything perfect for me, so of course I had to have a fabulous dress.

This dress from 'House of CB' is perfect if you're a curvy girl because it will have you looking snatched! I absolutely love the quality of their dresses the fit is amazing and this colour is beautiful against my skin tone.

My day began with my boyfriend taking me to dinner at the 'Oblix' restaurant in 'The Shard', so the dress was the right amount of sexy with the cleavage, and the right amount of sophistication from the length and OMG! The view was breathtaking, and it just added another dimension to the whole dining experience.

The food was divine and I loved the presentation! For the starter it was Crab cakes with a lemon sauce, for the main it was lobster with garlic sauce and hand cut chips, and for desert I had this delicious array of sorbet.

The day didn't end there, my Mr had another surprise in store for me which turned out to be tickets to see the 'Lion King', and it was amazing! The actors were incredible and this great feeling of nostalgia came over me when I heard songs like 'Circle of life' and 'Hakunna Mattata'. My whole day from start to finish was special and I just felt overwhelmed that my boyfriend did all of this for me. I nearly cried but I didn't want to mess up my make up lool.

Overall my day was brilliant, I was overwhelmed by my boyfriend and by all the messages that had been sent to my phone and via social media, I felt really loved - and that's always a good feeling. Chapter 26, I believe it's going to be a fantastic year! :) xx
