22ND BIRTHDAY HAUL

Birthday Haul

My birthday was exactly 1 month ago now but I've had this post ready for ages. I completely forgot about telling you what I got, and I never want to come across as boasting. I like to post hauls because I like reading them on other people's blogs - I'm just too nosy!

My mum knows about my resolution to start reading again so she picked these books for me. I've already read West End Girls by Jenny Colgan and I wasn't a massive fan but hopefully I'll like the other two books: Here's Looking At You by Mhairi McFarlane and Me & You by Claudia Carroll.

I got a Topshop voucher, you probably all know how much I love Topshop so I've been making good use of it lately. I also love Ryan Gosling so my dad decided to buy me Only God Forgives. I've heard mixed things but I liked the look of the film when I watched the trailer so I'll give it a watch soon to make my mind up.

I've been loving midi rings lately so I got a gold one from River Island. I need to make sure I don't lose it because they're so easy to lose! My other presents were beauty related: L'Oreal's Skin Perfection BB Cream and Christina Aguilera's By Night perfume. I remember wearing the latter perfume when I was younger (I think it was another scent by CA) and I liked the sweetness of it. Suffice to say, I've been wearing this non-stop. Look out for a future review of the BB cream!

Coast Bag

Sam's parents bought me this really cute bag. I love the colour of it (they also got me cupcakes to match), and you can take the strap off to make it a clutch bag. I'd wear it with a plain dress for a pop of colour!
Wine and Nail Paint

My friends bought me some wine and these nail paints from Barry M. I'd been eyeing up the matte polishes so I was so happy to finally get my hands on one.

love, Cally

  2. Here's looking at you is fantastic but Mhairi' first novel 'you had me at hello' is even better! Happy belated Birthday.
