Quarter of a Century.

I turned 25 on Monday! How old is that.... I'm a total drama queen when it comes to birthdays! There's just so much I still need to do or should have done by now that I get a little bit down and panicky!

I have had such a lovely bday tho. The weekend is extremely blurry- sign of a good two nights (I KNOW! I never do two nights in a row!) or just a sign I can't handle my drink now I've hit 25! I know those of you that know me are thinking, she couldn't handle her drink before 25! Haha. I know, but now it's worse! 

I got lots of lovely cards from my family and friends delivered to my flat which was great, i felt truely blessed! I wanted to come home for the week, but because there is so much on at work, it meant I couldn't. I am going back for a visit next week though. I can't wait! 

My flat mates made a real effort and we had a night out on the Friday, I was baked two cakes and we had a flat tea on the Sunday! My amazing friend from London came up to visit, we doned our black attire, red lippy and hit the town!

I changed my hair for my bday too - I dyed it back to pink, but then washed it with a silver shampoo to give it this mixture of pink and lilac/ pastel colour!

Friday Night: 

 

 

I know what you are thinking - those heels are small for Cesca! It was a Drum and Bass night so I thought my usual sized heels were a little inappropriate! But obv couldn't wear a flat on my birthday night out! I do love these shoes tho for their white cleated sole!

To finish the look and for warmth I threw on the trusty demin shirt and Varsity jacket.

Polo Tshirt Dress: Zara (my new favourite dress!)
Demin Shirt: Topshop (old)
Varisty Jacket: George 21 @ Asda (old)
Clutch Bag: Monki

Saturday Night: 

 

I am totally dragging out my birthday celebrations, I had "Birthday Pancakes" last night! I am going to see Disclosure tonight! I wonder what else the week will hold!

Did you all have pancakes? Sweet or savory?

Teddy Bear Coat.

How is everyone's January blues going?

Last week I had an amazing week and was behind the scenes at our (schuh) SS14 campaign. I have never been to a photoshoot before so I was LOVING it. I have lots of photos to share and if you follow me on Instagram you would have seen some tasters of the shoot last week. I will dedicate a post to it soon though. 

I thought I'd share some of my new buys... Have you heard of oniochalasia? It's buying or shopping as a method of stress relief or relaxation! Also I saw this this other day "sweating while you shop counts as exercise!" Which I keep telling myself today especially as I have only been to the gym twice this week! But I have done lots of walking! 

Anyway, so my fave purchase is probably my new jumper which arrived Wednesday - I love coming home from work with a parcel awaiting for me! Especially when I have forgotten what it was I ordered! (That's bad isn't it?!) I would never be able to afford an ACNE jumper so when I found a link to this jumper off a fashion blogger I follow Hannah Crosskey I couldn't help myself. If you haven't come across Hannah's personal style blog before, you should definitely start following it. ACNE's name derives from "ambition to create novel expression."

Also my teddy bear coat which I found today in a vintage shop called Armstrong in Grass Market, Edinburgh. I probably could have done with it before now as it's cosy warm, but up here it is still freezing so I will get quite a few wears out of it still. Plus I don't think it will ever go out of style- so an investment piece too.

Trousers: H&M 

Coat: Armstrong Vintage 

Nike Roshe trainers: schuh 

Socks: Topshop (see below picture) 

Selfie with a fedora style hat I didn't purchase as I couldn't wear the hat with the coat! ott. I could probably wear it when not wearing the coat- I only tried it on as hats don't suit my short hair- but I was surprised that it actually didn't look too hideous! 

Other purchases that make me happy. 

Clutch: Zara sale

Socks: Topshop - I CANNOT wait to rock these with some chunky sandals and Birkenstocks. Hurry up summer!

You cant go wrong with another pair of jeans.

Jeans: Topshop sale

iPhone 5 phone case: KENZO 

Love or hate the case? I LOVE!
