And I know that I gotta be above it now, and I know that I can’t let them bring me down.. OOTD

 Rejecting my kisses!

The Brunch club, Duke Street, Liverpool

Date night!

Body - American Apparel

Jeans - Topshop

Holographic heels - Zara (old, similar here and here)

Clutch - Primark

Earrings - Claire's

I'm in work at 7 am on Saturday mornings so usually come the night time I'm more likely to get a take away and vegetate on the couch watching The X factor than to get all dressed up and go out.

It must have been the obscene amount of caffeine I consumed yesterday that made me get dressed up and change my lazy ways!

I've had this American Apparel body for a few years now and I used to get a lot of wear out of it but lately I've been a bit shy about showing my cleavage (or lack of!). I decided to team it with my high waisted Topshop jeans so I wouldn't feel too exposed and I threw a coat over so I could zip up if I wasn't feeling as confident.

My Zara stiletto's are also a few years old but they have definitely stood the test of time. It was my first time wearing really high heels since I sprained my ankle in February, I'd been sticking to chunky wedges or heeled boots for a bit of security, but I'm glad I pushed myself, it's crazy how much that injury has mentally held me back even when I was physically healed!

I finally got around to buying these clip on earrings from Claire's Accessories. I removed my ear piercings for good in 2013, they had been really sore for a while and when I got a job that didn't allow piercings I just committed to taking them out.

the idea of wearing the clip on's felt weird but once they were on I didn't feel them all night and I felt super sassy having the feel of big hoops again! Will definitely be buying more.

We finally got around to trying The brunch club as I'd heard really great things about it!

Firstly I had a delicious strawberry daiquiri and it really was delicious! We decided on sharing the vegan platter and we also shared the falafel wrap, all of the food was so fresh and you can tell that the chefs are really passionate about experimenting with flavours. Seriously think it was the best hummus I'd ever tried!

Sorry the picture doesn't do it justice, hopefully I'll be able to invest in a good camera soon...

22nd Birthday...

 So yesterday was my birthday and I ended up having a really chill but great day!

My boyfriend Mike got the day off work and so he was up on breakfast duty whilst I was unwrapping my gifts.

Like most people my age I was mainly greeted by money as I opened my cards (since everyone knows you can't go wrong with cash!) but I was given a few gifts from my Mum and her fiance and of course from Mike.

Firstly I opened the Egyptian tea set from my mum and we were so excited to try it out! We chose to try a peony tea and I loved watching the flower expand as it brewed (and it tasted amazing).

Mike has obviously been picking up on the hints I've been dropping over the last few months and he bought me a grey Moon bear by Hanjipan Designs.
The bear was wrapped beautifully and included a hand written note from the artist Hannah.

He is so fluffy and soft, I am really impressed with the attention to detail of the little chap.

My German Shepherd Sabbath wanted the Moon bear for himself so I had to hide him for now, my next plan of action will be getting a shelf in my bedroom to display him on!

Seriously check out the page, I need to collect more cuties!

Mike also surprised me with the "Sabbath" necklace that I've been obsessing over from Souvenir Jewelry.

I was so excited and I haven't taken it off since, it's certainly going to be a daily outfit staple.

The necklace is really high quality and it's amazing how they're made. If you follow her on Instagram you will know just how talented the artist is.

The next addition to my jewelry collection will be the "Sweet leaf" ring, it's so perfect (can you tell I love Black Sabbath?)

So after I ripped open my gifts I ate that awesome full English breakfast (#whatfatveganseat) and then chilled out and watched some crappy daytime TV with my loves.

I rounded off my birthday by having a fun bouldering session at The Climbing Hangar and then going for a beer and a burger at Brewdog Liverpool.

It was an amazing night but my camera failed to make it out of my bag because I'm too forgetful to take photo's!

Hopefully this year will go slower than the last!
