What I Got For Christmas 2015

 Acne Studios Jensen Suede Boots - Net-A-Porter.com

These gorgeous boots were my main present from my lovely boyfriend. I'm a sucker for designer things especially accessories as they last a really long time and black boots are such a staple so I really wanted an expensive pair. They do these boots in leather rather than suede and in different colours but I really wanted a real suede pair. They are the perfect heel height for everyday and the silver detailing on the toe and the writing down the back of the boot really make them for me. I don't think I'll be taking them off of my feet any time soon.

Adidas Stan Smith Trainers - Net-A-Porter.com

I already own a white cracked leather pair of Stans and they are such a staple for me as they can be worn with everything and are super comfy due to this I really wanted a black pair and these velvet leopard print ones had to be mine.

 Engraved Monica Vinader Rose Gold Necklace

I've wanted a necklace that I can wear everyday for a long time now and what better than this one. The front has 'Claudia' engraved on it and the back has a pineapple so I can switch it up and wear it both ways. I'm a sucker for anything that is personalised.

H&M Dress

This gorgeous dress was a gift from my sister, she actually has it herself and bought me one as she knew I loved it. Such a shame we no longer live together and can't share wardrobes!

Rosie for Autograph PJ's - Marks & Spencer

I love the Rose H-W range for M&S my collection is really growing now. The lingerie is so gorgeous and is such a perfect fit as is the sleepwear.

 PJ's - Missguided

I'm a sucker for pyjamas and these are ridiculously cute and so comfy - Missguided PJ's for the win. (sorry about how creased they are!!)

The Carries Diaries Book - Amazon

Vogue Magazine Subscription

2016 Glitter Diary - Paperchase

Pug Socks - New Look

Babyliss Hair Wand

So happy that Luke renewed my Vogue subscription as that's something I don't have to worry about buying each month now.

If you have long hair and are after a curling wand, I'd highly recommend this one. I used it once for the first time on Christmas day and loved it. I didn't hairspray my hair as I don't like to and it lasted for days.

Soap & Glory Gift Set

Nivea Lip Care Set

Rose Jam Bath Bomb

Razzle Dazzle Bath Melt

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

Butterbear Bath Bomb

Estee Lauder Make-Up Brush Cleanser

Una Brennan Vitamin C Gentle Daily Micro Polish Wash

The Balm Nude Tude Palette

I'm a sucker for anything from Lush so I can't wait to use these pieces in my bath! My thoughtful mumma got them for me so that I can save them for when I move out so it's less stuff I have to spend my money on.

How gorgeous is this palette? I haven't stopped wearing it since Christmas Day.

Miu Miu Perfume

I've wanted this perfume since I smelt it in Vogue magazine a few months ago so it went straight on the top of my Christmas list and thankfully my mumma got it for me.

Real Techniques Make-up Brushes

Last but not least I got new brushes yay!

What was your favourite thing you got from Christmas?

I got lots of bits for our new home for Christmas too so I've done a separate post for that so watch out for it.

What I Got For My Birthday

So this is pretty much everything that I got for my 23rd birthday last week. I still cannot believe I am 23.

I'll start off with what I got from my boyfriend:

Sophia Webster X Shrimps Mules

Fit Bit Charge HR

Nach Bunny Ring (Net-A-Porter)

Markus Lupfer Bananas Sweater (Net-A-Porter)

So I was extremely spoilt this year and got some really amazing gifts - such a lucky girl. My Sophia's have to be my number one present...I'm sure you can see why!!

My Fit Bit was a complete surprise I wasn't expecting it at all despite banging on about wanting one for ages haha. I was really into the gym before we went to Mexico way back in May and I've just lost all motivation since then so I'm hoping this will get it back. You can also see what he planned and we got up to for my birthday here.

I also got this Mille Mack book from Luke's parents - can't wait to get reading!

Then from my mum and step dad:

Unicorn PJ's - ASOS

Pink Fluffy Coat - ASOS

Red Carpet Cinderella Gel Polish

The picture I took of my coat really doesn't do it justice so I had to put the model shot next to it to show how amazing it really is. It's the coat of dreamsssss. I've also worn these pyjamas at every opportunity.

From my Dad and step mum:

Tweed Top - Iris & Ink (TheOutnet.com)

So as you can see from the label the tweed from this top is made by the same company that makes Chanel tweed - Linton Tweed. If that doesn't make you want to buy this gorgeous top then I don't know what will. It's such great quality and fit. It has a zip up the back and I love the frayed edge of the sleeves, neck and hem of the top. Rosie Fortescue is also a big fan!

From my siblings:

Star Boots - ASOS

Sleep Playsuit - Rosie For Autograph

Bambi Knickers & Floral Socks - Topshop

Pug Doorstop

Rimmel Nail Varnishes

Pug Mug - ASOS

These star boots are so fab! I saw them in the ASOS mag a few months ago and new they'd sell out straight away and I was right but luckily my sissy had already bought them for me yay!

I've always loved the Rosie for Autograph range and have a few lingerie sets, PJ's and dressing gown so this gorgeous lace playsuit goes nicely with my collection.

Just to add - this post isn't a braggy post at all, I love reading people's posts like this and know others love reading them too!

My 21st Birthday

I've been wanting to start up blogging frequently again for a while...and what better way to kick start than sharing my 21st birthday with you. (BEWARE picture heavy post!)

I came back from Ibiza with my best friends and sisters on Monday (which was a present from my boyfriend)  where I spent my birthday. I turned 21 at Zoo Project, chilled and partied at Ocean Beach Club during the day and partied the night away at 'We Love Space Sundays'.

Below are some pictures from the day at Ocean Club:

This meant that on Monday when I arrived home after 9 nights in Ibiza, I had all of my presents waiting for me...this definitely helped kick the Ibiza blues away.

Some presents I had before as people thought I may want to take them on holiday, like the Lulu Guinness suitcase from my boyfriend below...I can definitely say I travelled in style!

This Anya Hindmarch purse was my main present from my dad. The heart studs are just so damn cute.

From my mum and step dad the tradition of 21st birthdays is...you get 21 presents and your main present is a designer handbag of your choice..eeekkkkk!

So see below the opening of the beloved bag:

Posing with the Harrods box...

Excited...

The beloved bag...

The Givenchy Antigona in gold exclusive to Harrods. It's obvious to say that when I opened this beauty, I died and went to heaven! An outfit post with the bag is bound to follow!

One of my 21 presents was this Vogue issue from the month and year I was born...September 1992.

I can't believe Vogue only used to be £2.50!

Here's a small selection of some of my 21 presents and gifts from others :)

Left to right:

Monte Carlo DVD, Vogue issue, Christian Louboutin notebook and transfer tattoos, Givenchy Antigona in gold, Hello Kitty and Cat tights, Anya Hindmarch purse, Pink Champagne, Thomas Sabo bracelet, Mulberry zodiac bracelet, Marc by Marc Jacobs neon bracelet, Marc by Marc Jacobs Katie Bunny phone case, pug scarf, Silk teddy Rosie for Autograph (Marks & Spencers) and two photo albums from my best friends.

I've been incredibly spoilt and it will definitely be a birthday to remember.
