What I got for my 18th.....

Hello, Hello lovely people...
If you follow me on any of my social media you'll know that I've recently just celebrated my 18th Birthday..... FINALLY!
I had to get up super early on my birthday not just because I couldn't sleep but because we had to make the ferry because.. guess what.... we spent the day In BRIGHTON. But this blog post isn't about my day in Brighton that's for another time.
I personally love reading/watching other bloggers and youtubers 'what they got for there birthdays', so I thought I would share with you guys what I got for my birthday.
so here goes.. hope you enjoy......

Jewellery.....

I got quite a lot of jewellery for my birthday, which I kind of new I was getting some because I picked a few designs that I really loved and sent them too my mum and told her to choose which ones to have made so it was still kind of a surprise but I still had some Idea.

I had three pieces of jewellery specially made for my birthday, a flower ring with my birth stone in the middle (which is a ruby).
secondly I had made a feather necklace pendant, which is beautiful.
Thirdly I had made a bangle with a triangle shape on the front, it is gorgeous.
All of these pieces where made by Effies Elements you should go check her out on facebook and also on her page there is a post about how she made my flower ruby ring.

My best friend Rachael got me the most beautiful anklet, with my birth stone in the pendant. The anklet was made by 'lucky Kemp Jewellery'.

Every piece of jewellery is so unique and so delicately beautiful.

Some of my mums work friends got me a beautiful necklace made by Karen Adams, who is based in North of Devon.

I love the simpleness of this necklace but its so beautiful and simple that it can go with anything and everything.

My Great Auntie got me a tree of life necklace, which is absolutely beautiful.

It is from a little family run business on the Isle of Wight called Dragon Fly.

I'm not usually a huge fan of Pandora, as I'm normally a unique and handmade jewellery kind of girl. I'm not really a fan of blingy jewellery but my Auntie got me a ring for my birthday (p.s we share birthdays) but she got me my birth stone ring and it actually goes really nicely with my ring made by effie with my birthstone in.

My last piece of jewellery I got for my birthday was a rose gold topshop watch, which I love!!

Rose gold is my fave colour.

Little bits.....

I had so much for my birthday that I didn't want to bore you with everything I got so I just chose a few things to show you guys..

I finally got the Fearne Cotton cook book and I can't wait to start using it to cook from.

I'm so excited there may even be a new blog post.....

Some of you may remember in past blog posts I spoke about my favourite shop called 'My house' on the Island. One of my best friends Suzy owned it but sadly she sold it on and its no longer around (insert sad face).

But she still has her own business and she makes amazing pieces of art and she was lovely enough to make me a custom made collage piece for my room.

Even if I do say so myself it is so clever and Unique.

Everyone go check out her stuff.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday, came to my party and gave me a birthday present.

My day was amazing, well I had an amazing week.

I had so many amazing birthday presents and I'm so lucky.

Hope you guys have a lovely summer break x

loads of love Drewxx

My Festival must haves....

*Festival season is upon us but where has the sun gone, but that sure doesn't stop us from wearing our favourite festival outfits even if it is a little chilly we will all soon warm up after all that dancing.

As some of you may know this weekend just gone was the Isle of Wight festival and may I add it was bloody amazing.

*Queen. WOW where do I start it was absolutely amazing and Adam Lambert really knows how to put on a show without trying to be Freddie. If you ever get the chance to see Queen go even if you aren't a huge fan, just go for it cause you'll love it.

*my essential festival must haves...

(before the event, after and during!)

*Packing for the festival is almost as much fun as going to the event, picking out outfits for everyday is almost like looking through a childhood dressing-up box. I love it!

Festivals are the time to bring out my inner hippie, well I never hide my inner hippie I just bring her fully out at festivals. I pull out all the stops with flower headdresses, tassels, sequins, beading and endless amounts of jewellery. This is festival fashion after all so anything and everything goes.

(well pretty much anything goes apart from bum cheeks hanging out of shorts and them awful morphsuits..... No just no)

when going to a festival you need to pack for every season literally, cause in Britain we don't particularly have just a summer it is mixed with spring, autumn and winter all in 1 day.

I also take Tights to put on in the evenings because they are small and easy to pack in any bag even a tiny one. I also take a big knit but I never have to carry it around because my rather large family always make camp in the same place and I always leave it with them.

I don't ever do the camping at a festival, I just never could do it but luckily I live around 30 mins away so I just walk or get dropped off. Thank goodness.

Whatever the weather I pile on the jewellery with fingers full of rings, arms full of different bracelets and a huge range of different necklaces and of course don't forget about the sunglasses to hide your hangover or the Sunday eye bags.

*so lets get on with the essential festival must haves......
* firstly Fake tan has to be on the festival must haves I always fake tan around a day before the festival, I feel it gives you more of a natural glowing tan.
*Dry shampoo is a must for any festival even though I don't camp by the last day I just can't be bothered to wash my hair again, so the good old dry shampoo is a massive life saver. Of course if you're camping dry shampoo is gunna be your best friend.
*The essentials for your bag at the festival tissues, hand gel, plasters, paracetamol, purse and of course that emergency poncho.
*other essentials that I love to have in my hand bag or bum bag mini mirror lip crayon, lip liner, lip balm and a nail file cause you never know when you're going to break a nail.
*sun glasses.
*Jewellery and lots of it.

*Hats for bad weather or bad hair day.
*Headdresses or floral headbands are defiantly a must have to nay festival.
*warm layers.
*wellies/and or biker boots ( I don't own wellies so I just put on my Dr martens).
*cross body bag and or bum bag.
*tent.
*camping chair.
*warm clothes to sleep in.

*Wash bag.
*Make up bag.

that's it for all my festival essentials, hope you enjoyed this blog post. (links will be below)
If you're going to a festival this year stay safe and make sure you have the time of you're life.
hugs and kisses Drew x

My Bikini Collection.....

'The waves of the sea help me to get back to me!'

Happy Tuesday Lovelies,
It's finally that time of the year again, when the summer wear and bikini's come out. Pretty much my favourite time of the year. I do love a good old bikini and the sun between my toes, the golden look the sun gives my skin and the crash of the waves and finally the lovely light colours my hair goes.So I thought I would share with you a few of my most favourite bikinis. I also added a little wish list at the end.
