HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO ME

Hi guys! So it was my 21st birthday yesterday, and as always I don't really feel any different but it was still fab. I went to Liverpool with four friends at the weekend, and it was hilarious. We stayed in a cute little hotel and had a booth booked at a local club for the evening, so good! I didn't take any photos with my camera whilst I was there so I've included a photo of the polaroids that were taken and there's a few more photos on my instagram (@bertahayes). 

Yesterday for my actual birthday my grandparents came round and we went out for a meal which was cute. I wore the jumpsuit from Asos that I had wanted for agesssss, and I love it, even though the clasp at the back of the neck kept coming undone so I had to hold it in place with a safety pin in the end. Anyway my main present was the Marc Jacobs watch in navy and rose gold that I'd wanted for ages and it is perfect so glad I went with that one. Also I'd been asking for a cookie cake from Millie's Cookies for years and never got one, then this year I got two which is typical, gunna be lovely and chunky for the next couple of weeks hahaha.

More posts coming soon!

WHAT'S IN MY BAG

Welcome to my first ever 'What's in my Bag' post yay! As I'm a super nosy person and love seeing what other people keep in their bags and carry round with them day to day, I thought I'd do one myself incase people were at all interested in what I carry round with me! My go to handbag is always my Zara Office Bag as it's perfect for literally every situation. It's great for day to day trips, shopping etc cause it goes with basically every outfit. I also use it for university due to the zipped section which is actually a laptop case, absolutely perfect! Finally I also use it for travelling when I'm going somewhere for a couple of nights it literally fits all the things I need!

So the basic things I always have to have with me are my very worn purse, which is from a shop chain called Polly, only available in Aberystwyth sorry! My iPhone 5S which I really need to buy a case for cause it's really not safe atm. My glasses always have to be with me incase I need to clearly see anything more than a metre away from me, and of course my keys cause knowing my family if I was locked out they wouldn't be in.

Extras I've got in my bag atm are my Macbook as I've been going back and forth between my mums and dads houses for a number of reasons but still need to be able to do my university work regardless. Also my diary which is Moleskine, as if I don't write down everything important I'm meant to be doing I start stressing and completely forgetting things.

Due to the weather getting slightly better recently I've also been carrying round my new Asos Sunglasses (love love love). I tend to carry chewing gum around with me just incase of emergencies, and my Apple headphones for the same reason! Finally I have a pen, always handy, and some hand gel. For some reason I rarely carry my make-up round with me just because I forget or can't be bothered I think, but I really should start doing so! Anyway let me know if there's any other posts you want me to do!

ASOS MINI HAUL

Well I am clearly ready for summer now, shame the weather today isn't. I've been wanting these items for a while now so of course as soon as I had the money I invested in them. The jumper, skirt and scarf I originally found thanks to Beautycrush and I thought they all looked amazing. The jumper is super big and comfy, perfect for the transition from Winter to Summer. The skirt is a lovely casual item to throw on whenever, which I don't really have atm, all my midi skirts tend to be more formal for some reason. The scarf is just as expected, lovely and thick, warm and absolutely huge omg I don't know why I didn't think it was gunna be quite that big but oh well I love it anyway! Finally I decided to purchase some sunglasses in the style I've been looking for for months. As I have quite a small face I'm always worried that sunglasses will just drown me but for a change I don't think these ones actually do, well I hope not, let me know if you think they do! Links to all items are below!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO ME

Top: ASOS / Jacket: H&M / Shorts: Topshop / Shoes: Topshop

Okay so today I officially turn 20, even though I don't look anywhere near 20 years old and people still assume I'm 16 when they meet me, woo! Decided to wear my new shorts for the occasion which I absolutely love, the materials thinner than I thought it would be and theres no elasticity in the waist so I'm glad I went for size 8 rather than 10! Spend the morning at the garden centre and bought a gorgeous new picture for my room which I'll include in a post of my presents later this week. Got to walk the dog now then going out for a drink later, hope you all have a good day, love x

So I finally decided to attempt an outfit of the day post today because my new top arrived and the weather was lovely. Spent most of the day doing nothing then walked the dog and went on a spontaneous shopping trip to Birmingham, managed to control myself and only bought a couple of things which I'm sure I shall photograph and post at some point. Hope you all had a good day! Love x
