Birthday.

Happy Birthday. Although the shortest day of the year in daylight hours, I always maintain- the longest night to party. 

This year's birthday is more special in a way, marking a year of fighting illness and still being here to celebrate. I can hardly remember a single thing about last years... so I am enjoying every moment now I can.

It is also the first Birthday I have celebrated since starting this blog, and been able to share with all of you.

I was out early to make the most of it and take some pics.x

Kisses Katie.x 

(I will post the full outfit details etc tomorrow- lets say it's Chanel a/w 2010 inspired)

5 inch heels in a field full of fireworks.

Last night spent at a special birthday party- over 500 guests, a field in the remote countryside, a good d.j, and catching up with friends. (resembling a small scale private festival) The evening was topped off with an absolutely spectacular firework display.(with accompanying music- a la Top Gun, take my breath away- Berlin to name a few!) We all stood open mouthed as the sky was lit up in all shades of the rainbow, showering down like enormous sparkling chandeliers. Fortunately the rain stayed away, and prevented a stampede of people clambering for cover. Tackling a jumpsuit in a porta-loo- probably not the smartest idea! 
( The pictures aren't so great but I was having too much fun-Lucky I took a few quick snaps before leaving.)
The necklace is new from Asos- check it here.

pimms + sun = fun.

A weekend filled with laughter, great conversation and the most insanely good weather. Celebrating the Birthdays of my brother and dad resulted in the most awesome double whammy of events. BBQ, sunshine, pimms, and talking late into the night with a garden full of candles. The crazy star lights ended up in the apple tree somehow, a few things got broken including a few glasses and a garden chair, but most importantly a great time was had by all!

My dad purchased a brilliant ' Colin the caterpillar ' cake... saving me from baking, and incase you were wondering- the pop rocks, lucky charms etc were a funny prezzie for my brother!

(outfit- all saints dress- beads Brighton bead shop, gift from friend- and DIY from an ex boy!)

drink me....

Incredible chandeliers, ornate mirrors, and a fabulous occasion, with the joint birthday of a lovely friend, and younger sister. 

After a sleepless night i decided to make the girls 'eat me' and 'drink me' tag cards, which were recieved with much delight and squeals of joy.

 A single celebratory mojito proved a little lethal, leaving me feeling rather fuzzy. Suitably fitting for the quality of some of these outfit photos?! (apologies)Rain and fur never mixed.

( Some of you may know i'm still improving after a loooong spell of ill health. Achieving this evening out felt brilliant. I lasted a few hours, and have felt exhausted since but determination is a great strength!)

Dress- All saints, Wedges- Kurt Geiger Fashionistas (see chain close up), brooch- family treasure, earrings- family treasure, beaded pouch, Fur- thrift, ring- holiday street market.
