I'm feeling 22

So my 22nd birthday is rapidly approaching! Amongst all the uni work I have managed to arrange a lovely weekend involving lots of prosecco, food and afternoon tea. I'm feeling pretty happy that it's at the start of the uni year where I can enjoy myself for the weekend and the work load isn't too much.
Although I am known for leaving things until the last minute so I am determined to push aside my urges for trebles in Newcastle and knuckle down after the celebrations!
I have a table booked at the Silk Room in Newcastle for a meal (review to follow!) From what I've seen and heard it's very nice and fancy! I will be queen for the weekend!
It's made me think about birthdays, how much of a big deal it used to have to be, you'd have to have to best party and you had to invite loaadddss of people (some of which were just invited to make up numbers). I'm surprisingly excited for this birthday, maybe as it's my first with a boyfriend and I'm hoping I get spoilt haha but I'll have the important people there and who doesn't like being centre of attention for a day...or a weekend!
Up-market food and champagne cocktails called for a new outfit, so I'm wearing monochrome; a black bardot top and a white skirt. I've wanted a white skirt for ages and found one that I love and is a really good fit from Missguided.

Black Bardot top: Missguided £4.99 White Chain Skirt: Missguided £19.99
Jewellery: All Primark £1.50-£3
Boots: Fashion Union £32
Studded clutch: Marni £590

You might be thinking "hang on, she's got an outfit for around 60 quid and that bag is £590?!" The bag I actually have is pretty similar to the one in the picture and it got it from Primark a while back for around 6 quid! Pretty big saving! I think £600 is a little steep for bag although if I could afford it I'm sure I would splurge!

I do love a bargain and although I think some things need to be invested in if you want them to be high quality and last the season, for now I'd rather spend my money on boozy bubbles and having a good time!

Happy Birthday to meeeeee!!
