Birthday girl

Forgive the blogging hiatus but my final project is taking over my life. That didn't stop me from taking a break last night and dancing until the small hours to celebrate my birthday with some good company, decorations, food and music. The dress is a birthday purchase from Mango which I haven't been in for a long time but they have some really nice things at the moment. Lipstick is Topshop's Infrared which is currently my favourite shade (orange/red) that I've been looking for all summer and finally found. I have also finally found the best and easiest way to style my hair with the Babyliss conical wand, which is essentially like curling tongs but you actually have to wrap your hair around the barrel and it comes out in these really cute waves that I love and work well with ombre hair I think. Burnt fingers are a negative side to this process but it's worth the trouble. Anyway I had a great time and the people I was with made getting a year older a lot more bearable and fun :)
