OOTN// 21st Birthday outfit


Dress - ScalaUSA// Heels - Primark

This is a quick post today but I thought i would share with you all what i wore on my 21st. I actually originally wore this dress for my 18th and have managed to wear it another 3 times since which i am so pleased with as it did set me back around £275 :o But this dress really is a timeless classic and can be pulled out and worn again and again for suitable events/parties. I always get so many people complimenting and asking were it is from when i go out and it really does make me feel like a million dollars when i wear it! The sequins and beads have all individually been hand stitched and you can really tell with the quality of it as i have had next to none of the sequins fall off. You can see what other dresses ScalaUSA sell here. The style of this one to search is N1006 Lead if you are interested. As this dress is so expensive if i was to purchase another i would definitely opt to hire one out instead, i have recently discovered Wish Want Wear which offer lots of different designer dresses which you can hire out for a special occasion for a fraction of the price, you really do get the best of both worlds and will definitely be using them in the future.

I also paired this with my favourite heels from primark! I love the monochrome colours which go so well with the sparkles, i love sandals like these but gosh don't they make my feet hurt after a while!

What do you think of this outfit? Have you used Wish want wear before?

21st Birthday Wishlist


Eeek it's my 21st is at the end of this month,i'm sooo excited but i literally had no idea what i wanted. So compiling a wishlist helped and i have picked out a few things that have really caught my eye so if my family or boyfriend are reading this... take note! 

I got my first tangle teezer on my last birthday and its been my best mate ever since,i wonder how i ever tamed my hair before this. They have now released the aqua splash TT which is a lot bigger and is a lot more appropriate for my long hair than the travel size one i have,it is also specifically made for use on wet hair, i do a lot of swim training so this is perfect for me and naturally i want the pink one.

I have never used a brush for my foundation before. From hearing lots of talk about this face brush in the beauty community i think its time to be converted from using my fingers. Along the beauty side of things I've also ran out of my favourite mac nude lipstick - shy girl ,so i quite fancy trying a new one out and Hue looks gorgeous on the swatches i have seen.

Cut out boots are definitely on my list for the upcoming A/W trends. Black ones seem to be everywhere so i fancy being a bit different and i found these white/black ones from Bank they are only £32,so cheaper than the Topshop ones and they look like a dream! The hologram bag i have just fallen in love with,its from New look and its not overly priced,i need this clutch desperately!

Lastly i need a new camera for blogging! I have been using the exact same one this summer as the one above but its my Mums, and the pictures come out so well considering its not a DSLR. I love the quality of pictures on those type of cameras but its too big for me and i would never take it on holiday as they are such a nuisance to carry. This digital camera is the next best thing,its small and at 16.1 mp its pretty good!

I hope you liked my wishlist what do you think of my picks? Do you have any of these?
