(Edita Dress, May The Label. Shoes, Steve Madden.)
This weekend marked my 21st birthday, and I celebrated the momentous occasion with lots of food, amazing friends, a delicious cake and potentially a few too many rosé wines. The photos above are from my party at The Conservatory, taken by Andrew Lau Photography, who was absolutely amazing and I am in love with every single shot. I ordered the beautiful cake from Bluebells Cakery, it was banana & caramel flavoured and so so so good. That caramel sauce was actually insane. My dress was a bit more of a mission to acquire, but I'm so glad I ended up going with this May The Label number that is very much 'me'.
As well as posting the above snaps, I also wanted to share a little list I put together (because lists are great) with 21 life lessons/tips/things I've learnt so far. A little bit blunt, but a lot true, and in no particular order; hope you enjoy the little read.
