happy



I had an amazingly happy birthday, spent with all the people I love the most and with my mum's amazing spread of food and general cheer. This year has literally flown by, and I can't believe that just over a year ago I turned 21. Well, that was a great year, but I have an even better feeling for the next one. And what better way to start it than with a three tiered pavlova cake (my favourite!), bunches of flowers, boxes of macarons, and some amazing presents (including a brand new polaroid camera, the Byredo travel perfume dispenser that I so longed for, and The Sartorialist's new book). I'm still getting the hang of the camera, but there's something about that instant gratification of a picture forming before your eyes, milky and washed out, blurry and out of focus, simple and true. Just how all birthdays should be.

Happy Belated Birthday! It looks like a lovely day with so many wonderful things.

I love that your favorites spoiled you. My mom's birthday was Sunday and we love spoiling her, since we're firm believer that it shouldn't be pushed onto Christmas.

Linday K - thank you! It really was, I'm still smiling from the memory of it. They always spoil me for the exact same reason, it's lovely that you do it for your mother as well! Always keep christmas and birthdays separate I say haha :)
