I love Giraffe by emilyrodgers18 featuring short skirts

I often get compared to a giraffe, surprisingly because I'm 6ft tall, have a patch of giraffe-print like freckles and actually have a soft spot for them. I even got a giraffe pandora charm and a little silver giraffe for my 21st, which I love. So I decided to dedicate a post on all things fashion based on these lovely creatures. You may have spotted that its a popular print this season, mainly in Topshop, and although I've tried on almost everything to do with them, I haven't yet taken the plunge and bought something. But with Indonesia coming up I am definitely contemplating that tank top!

21st Birthday Weekend!

The birthday blues are upon me!

Last weekend it was my 21st, and it was truly the best birthday to date!

My family came up to see me in Manchester, which meant I got to wake up in a hotel on the day, had a leisurely morning and then went to town for a shopping spree with my mum. She bought me my birthday dress and a few other goodies (including those velvet shorts I was coveted a few posts ago!)

Then I went to meet my dad at the Hilton, where my little sisters and my cousin surprised me which was so nice! 

Followed by more amazing gifts and a stunning meal at Australasia.

Below are a few pictures from the day!

This is the dress I wore before the meal, part of my stud obsessed collection!

My beautiful sisters and cousin, I cried when they popped out of the wardrobe!

My sister bought me this gorgeous vintage pendant from 1880, and she put these adorable photos inside!

We all shared this bottle with some strawberries!

I also got 2 more bottles of champagne as well as chocolates! 

My friend baked me this cake! 

It was amazing!

And then I was given this one by my housemates!

So much cake! 

My Auntie gave me this Pink Vodka with gold flakes in this personalised bottle, so nice!

This is an awful photo but this is the dress I wore on my birthday night out. 

It's one of the brands in Topshop, and I wore it with an urban outfitters belt.

My friends from home all came up for the weekend from around the country and gave me this lovely pandora charm.

I was well and truly spoilt! 

But the best part I am going to save and write an entire post on because (although materialistic) its one of the most special things I have been given!

New iPhone Cover

My friend told me about an iPhone cover on a local website which I should buy because it had a giraffe print, and I am basically a giraffe in human form (tall, tanned with weird freckles that look like giraffe spots on my hand).

So I contacted the seller to find out more!

The cover was only £5, and it came with a free earphone jack accessory in this really cute little box.

I met the girl the today and she told me I was the first she had done business with so it was pretty spesh!

And here it is, I love it, and I was really pleased with the service. So easy, especially because it was local and an absolute bargain!

Pins of the Week

Here are a few of my favourite pins of the week from various Pinterest members. 

I love entering this website and seeing anything from art and architecture to cupcakes and rollerblades. 

A taster of everything I love is below, I hope you get as inspired as I am!

Happy Pinning!

Mouth watering stack of Cupcakes.

I love the combination of colour, style and accessories on this strangers hand, the odd angle just makes it that much more pinteresting!

For those of you who know me, this little guy is fast becoming my number one must see animal.

Genuinely think I was one in a past life.

 I have a few turquoise jewellery pieces and these have made me want more! They go with absolutely everything, especially matched with this seasons tribal trend.

Safari style outfit, I'm loving the bag!

This is so elegant, the vibrant colour is nice and summery, combined with the light skirt, Perfect.

 This piece of art called flowers by Jo Chambers really caught my eye, simple lines and colours can be so effective. 

I have a board called 'My Dream House' and although a lot of people want a swanky apartment over looking a white sand beach with a pool, the simplicity of this velvet chair and the neutral colours looked really relaxing, I wouldn't mind it in my home.

These skates are girly and adorable, I would have to skate along the avenue in these everyday.

A cropped picture taken from the film Up, at first glance I thought they were real.

This is photography genius. Coming from an island where a lot of surfing takes place, this is definitely an outstanding capture. 

So there they are, my favourite weekly pins. I have liked all of these pictures on my account, so if you like any of them, follow me Rodders1810, to like them yourself.
