So recently we have both celebrated our birthdays and thought we would share some of our favourite pressies with you.
My birthday was on a Monday this year (I know, it was really upsetting) but all my lovely presents helped to make it such a nice day.
The first present I'm showing you is my Accessorize watch. I've been needing a watch for a while - I think my friends were fed up with me always asking the what the time is! I especially love this watch as it has two straps that are very easy and simple to swap around. It has a delicate design and fit but it's not flimsy and breakable so is perfect for every day wearing.
Anybody who knows me knows I love a good heart-shaped necklace so this beautiful silver heart from Simply Silver by John Rocha is perfect for me - especially after my absolute favourite heart necklace broke a few months ago (*stifles sob*).
My best friend knows me so well. I absolutely love bookmarks - trust me, I have hundreds of them - especially when they have meaningful and poignant quotes on them. The only problem is it's so nice I won't want to use it!

I also love a good lipgloss and when there's different shades in one pack, well, that's even better. These Juicy Lipglosses from Tesco are really good quality and aren't at all sticky on the lips. My favourite shade to wear is the one second from the right in the picture below.
Yes, I know, I already own tons of nail varnish but who cares? My excuse is that I didn't have any nail art pens and these ones really are great - I've already tried out a few of them.

As much as I love the above presents my favourite one just has to be my Eiffel Tower earrings. I have been dying to have these for ages so when my best friend gave them to me I was unbelievably happy and had to put them in straight away. I'm in love with them already!
Now my birthday was in the same week, but much to the disgust of my fellow blogger, I had the Friday. Probably one of the best days you can have your birthday on because you can still see your friends but you also know its the weekend tomorrow.
My first, and by far largest present (below) is my camera. I've wanted a good camera like this for a year or so now and to finally have one feels like magic! It's a Canon EOS 350D. It was second hand but in perfect condition and still came with all of the manuals (and a spare battery which is one thing that doesn't come with them new any more).

Now I am big heart lover! Anything ornamenty and heart shaped - it's mine (hands off!).
This one is made of glass! One step above!
Below are nail varnish! I have a lot of nail varnish, but a girl can never have too many - right? These are the 'npw' nail art pens in Rainbow. I also have the pack in pastels. The others are two amazing colours from the P.S range at Primark.

Anybody who has makeup has to have brushes. This is the starter set from EcoTools. I love how soft they are and the concealer brush works wonders are blending!
Now anyone who knows me will know how much I love vintage! These magnets, paperweight, pegs and badges are right up my street and I love them!
