Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my BIRTHDAY today!

Right now I'm in New Yorkkkkkkkkk.

See you in a week lovers<3

-not too sure how much internet i'll have, but if i can post all the fun i'll be having eating bagels and dancing with the naked cowboy, i will!

That DRESS

Yep, Yep, I NEED it.

I know you guys probably don't take me seriously because I need errrrrythang, but this is something I really, truly, actually, indeedy DO need.

Ok, so here are the facts:

It's by Shakuhaci. This much I know.

I've never seen it before.

I need it.

It's my birthday in 6 weeks so I need it.

I need it because it's my birthday in 6 weeks and I have to get wearing things like this out of my system, before I'm too old to wear things like this and my 'assets' start going south, k?

If you've seen it and know where I can STILL get it, cos it's no longer on their site, gimme a holla, si?

You will be rewarded. In munchkins, pancakes, or money (the latter is probably least likely).

I may hurt someone (or myself) if I don't geddit.

Either colour preferable.

K?

Good.

Nice.

S W I T Z E R L A N D  W A S

A M A Z I N G !

Thanks bro for putting me up, putting up with me, waiting 2 hours for me to get dressed everyday (it's a girl thing) trying to kill me at one point (see above) and generally being my picture taker.

*Gleek roar* Go.... Zurich!

In other news, Dani & I are off to Sweden Baby! Following the invite/fake invite conversation with Jen, we booked our tickets and will be crashing with Jen (thanks my love) at the end of June. Whoop whoop! 

Stockholm shopping suggestions will be greatly appreciated... thanking you kindly.

Sweden Baby*!

*Fyi, Sweden will be forever referred to as 'Sweden Baby' :-)

Later that night

Dress: H&M x Fashion Against Aids

The perfect p a r t y dress

A fitting day for Princesses

Since my new camera (thanks bro!) has enabled me to do more than cut and paste (seriously thanks for sticking around for the last 2 weeks guys) I thought I should fill you in on my birthday.

Tuesday was R I D I C U L O U S.

Let me explain my use of 'ridiculous' to you...

Ridiculous: an extremely good thing, sometimes a bad thing... 99% of the time a good thing.

Example: OMG Jen and Jill you got me black leggings... ridiculous* sees slightly puzzled look from others, then after 5 seconds adds ... I.love.them.

Honestly, it may just have been one of the best birthday's ever (insert cheese here) because what started out as a 'do you want to meet for cake' email between Jen and I ended up with 14 girls having afternoon tea at Kensington Palace (well the Orangery... although it kinda makes us princesses) and jumping around (illegally I might add) on the grass.
I have to say a big t-h-a-n-k-i-n-g  y-o-u to Jen for organising an amazing day. She's pretty modest; says she only sent out a few emails, but she's the best. I mean considering the girl doesn't even live in London and came down for the day, that's pretty cool.

(Shots of me taken/borrowed from Jen)

In attendance: Nicole from The Power of Beauty, Kit from Style Slicker, Tobi and Kike from Style By Queens, Jennifer from Style East, Lucy from Snippets of Shiny Thoughts, Saskia from Not Just Medical, Jen from The Style Crusader, Daniella from the F Blog, Fiona from Save Our Shoes, and Shini from Park and Cube

THEY CAME BARING GIFTS...

RIDICULOUS!

Whilst the 'classy bloggers' drank tea and ate sandwiches the size of pencils, the 'naughty bloggers' (Jen, Dani and myself fyi) pondered whether it was wrong to get pissed at 3.45pm. A couple of Becks (yep beer at a palace) and a bottle of Prosecco later, I was very merry. Just so you know, saying things like:

• 
  
  Oooh, you're teeny tiny now... not that you weren't before... you look great... (to Shini, who fyi, has always been tiny)
• 
  
  Yeah I don't really know much about proper cameras. All I know are lens sizes, like 2.7 inches.... No Jackie that's the screen size (Jen's reply)
• 
  
  Ooh, you bought me cake/leggings/lipgloss/flowers... that is ridiculous... I mean I love it (because if you say ridiculous, people think you mean ridiculous)
• 
  
  We have to go drinking soon... then again I don't know if you can drink like us (referring to myself and Dani)... we drink c i d e r... you're pretty prim (to Jen, drinking a beer at the time)
• 
  
  I don't really know really, let me think... hmm Platform Princess... Platform Princess... I suppose it's my blogs name because I like shoes.
• 
  
  Is that a fake invite, or a real invite? (to Jen after she kindly invited Dani and I to Sweden)
• 
  
  You know that squirrel can kill you, right? (to Shini or Ace Ventura as she is more commonly known)
• 
  
  You know those pigeons can kill you, right? (Again to Shini)

... May offend people you don't know, know/make you look stupid in front of people you don't know, know/ make you look like a alki, to people you don't know, know.

The whole day really put the 'people you don't know taboo' to shame. We all had an amazing afternoon, and and it was so much fun meeting lots of new lovely bloggers.

And the best saved for last. Here's Jill dancing, she's such a good sport <3 her!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!

I'm back... and I'm old :-(

Can you tell I'm not liking being on the wrong side of 25?

Watevz.

Can't wait to see all the lovely bloggeroos today. Have a great day everyone!

xx

Sianara!

Where for out thou Arty?

Decided to splurge on this as a pre-birthday gift to myself :-)

If you're still looking for it I got it here.

It is love.

Currently (2.0)

In reply to Jen, here are the things, all under £50, that I am currently wishing for:

1. AA Sexuali-tee 2. Topshop Victoria shoes 3. Accessorize Love ring 4. Black leggings 5. A replacement pair of Ferragamos (technically Jen a vintage pair is under £50 haha) 6. H&M against Aids acid wash dress 7. Zara grey flares 8. New piano books 9. Topshop teddy 10. Small paint brushes 11. Topshop silk shorts

To be honest, once you get to a certain age you don't really expect anything for your birthday *cue violins.
No, but really, I just mean that most stuff under £50 I tend to buy myself, or can't be arsed to buy.
It seems I find it easier to part with larger sums of money than small. I am she who haggles in Portobello Market. Ridiculous...

'£20 for a plain white tee- wtf...?' 'Oooh there go a pair of £500 shoes- bargain'. 

This list was actually harder for me than the first. At the risk of sounding like one of those pretentious monkey's who 'lives designer' believe me, 75% of my wardrobe is courtesy of Madame Zara. The only thing I really splurge on is shoes.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. You'll notice they're a pair of plain black leggings on my list. All I want for my birthday is a pair of black leggings. I know, I'm a freak, but black leggings would make my world (honestly, I get obsessed with everything) * slaps herself.

p.s by now you should know that when I say 'need' I really meant want real real bad :-)
