Happy Birthday To Me!

Last Saturday I celebrated my 24th birthday! As I look back at all my birthday’s I can see such a difference and growth in my style and this year I really wanted to opt in for an outfit that was fun, but that was also an elegant spring party outfit. Coming up with what to wear to a birthday party, let alone your own, can be more challenging than you might think but I hope that what I wore will inspire you all for some super fun, yet elegant, party outfit ideas!

My birthday always falls at the start of spring (I also found out I share a birthday with total blogger babe Coco’s Tea Party – I look up to her so much so that was so cool!) so I wanted to make sure that I added a burst of colour. Of course, I wanted to go full out and wear an all blue two-piece set. I picked up this set when I was in Mumbai in December. It’s by an Indian designer called House of Sohn! Although I was showing some midriff, the long length of the skirt added enough balance to the outfit to make sure it was still an elegant evening look (I did just turn 24 after all, gotta evolve with that!) Plus, showing a bit of skin can really help you look taller (Pro tip from a girl who’s just about 5’1)

I brought in my birthday the night before with a few friends. So what stopped me from rocking this look? A dry cleaning mishap! So pro tip; always get your outfit prepared in advance! Luckily I had a surge of inspiration and was able to find a new look! You can see it all on my Instagram stories! For my makeup, I went for a brown smokey eye but I also tried a brand new product from Charlotte Tilbury. It gave me the most fabulous natural glow! I love trying out new beauty looks and I thought that this was the best time to do it! You can see how I did my makeup on my Instagram stories highlights under Beauty, and check out my night in the 2018 highlights section! Just click here! (That way you can also see what I wore on my actual birthday – another outfit I adored!)

This set came in so many colours but something about this stunning blue really caught my eye. If you were to DM the brand over Instagram, I’m sure they would have no issue shipping to wherever you are! If you’re reading this from Mumbai though, they stock at Colaba Cartel in Kala Ghoda!

How do you choose your birthday outfits?

Happy Monday!

Another happy Monday after an incredibly sunny weekend! I was very fortunate with the weather this past week, especially because on Friday was my birthday! I just turned 23 this last week and I had an amazing time celebrating with my nearest and dearest. I shared some photographs over my Instagram story, but will share some more with you here!

In other news, this Monday update is a little different. A lot of you have asked about where I read my fashion news, and whether I can share that with you guys. From now on, Ill be sharing some fashion, beauty and lifestyle news with you guys every Monday morning as well!

This Past Week

This last week was my birthday week, which called for a small technology detox. I was feeling so overwhelmed that I decided to just take a step back and really enjoy my birthday with the people who mean the most to me. I had an amazing day and had lunch at one of my favourite restaurants, followed by a fabulous dinner at Park Chinois – there were some amazing performances during dinner (including a sneaky strip tease?! :O) and we had a fabulous night. The dress I wore was from Self-Portrait and I’ve linked to it below in my new in! It’s a fabulous piece right?
