Older, not wiser

I’m 25 now and for the first time in 5 years I did not cry on my birthday. Instead, I fashioned Pocahontas length hair extensions, false eyelashes, the tightest bodycon known to man and went on a 3 day bender.

That is all… as in, all I have to say about getting older-no pearls of wisdom.

Actually, I still don’t have the house, husband or baby I thought (yes, I really was that naive) I would have all those years ago. F**k happily ever-afters and playing Barbie’s dreamhouse.

Ok, that really is all.

Anyway on a lighter note, I picked these up at H&M:

























Divided exclusives grey silk dress: £49.99 & Trend zipper skirt £19.99



I’m not sure if I’m totally in love with the grey dress, as it's a little 'come dancing' but blah. I also HAD to pick up that gladiator shoulder white dress below- love you MM, but seriously, does fashion not come before friendship? Hahaha!
This was one of my fave pressies from my sister, and although I am an avid fan of the high street (and the bag), you only get what you pay for I suppose… (see if you can spot the missing studs):





Zara suede chain-mail bag: £29.95


I’m off to Tunisia for a week on Saturday; a late birthday gig. I’m not sure if it’s party-time out there, but I’ve packed a few itsys just in case it’s business at the front and party at the back.

Loves, PP x

I saw the orange skirt in H&M recently-in black though-and pondered buying it...and then didn't. I'm starting to think I made the wrong decision.....
