So it was my birthday on Monday...

This was my 18th birthday present...


I cannot even begin to explain how much I'll treasure and love this bag for the rest of my life. My dad surprised me with this and I will never be able to thank him enough. I know some of you will probably think I'm over reacting over a bag, but I love that this is something I will be able to keep forever and will mean something to me, I know my Dad put a lot of thought into this, he knows Vivienne Westwood is my favourite!

Here's some of the my other birthdays presents:


Nails Inc set ♥ Strawberry Purse - H&M ♥ Scarves - New Look ♥ Owl - Build A Bear (I have an obsession!) ♥ Vera Wang Preppy Princess ♥ Roses Chocolates ♥ Disaranno (my favourite drink!) ♥

I also got some socks, this amazing tee shirt from my brother, I love it so much, I really want to wear it out to see wether it actually glows in the dark or not! I also got a gorgeous necklace from my boyfriend, but my camera's macro setting didn't feel like co-operating at this time of night, so you'll just have to wait to see it!

So as I said, my birthday was this Monday, which also happened to be Valentine's Day! (because you all didn't know that anyway ;) ) Did you all have happy Valentine's Days? Or are you against this national celebration of love? I'm personally in two minds about it, in my own selfish way I quite like having my birthday then, because even though you have this massive celebration going on, I still get to be the main focus of attention in some people's lives, and it makes it a bit more special. And people always remember it haha! I've also found it's a good distraction for my friends who get the VDay blues too, it gives them someone else to focus on. As for the actual thing itself? Let's face it, it has become more commercialised over the years, focusing more on the cute, lovey dovey, so-sweet-it'll-make-you-sick, part of it rather than the romantic and passionate side of it. But wether you're into it or not, I hope you all had a good one!♥

Lots of love,
Charlotte xxxx
