Birthday Haul

So happy with everything I got for my birthday but especially the clothes! So here's a little look at the clothes that I got as presents not the ones I bought myself: 





Here is a moody Laura posing in front of some makeshift grungey decking aha.Well this ensemble I chose myself courtesy of Glynn (both New Look). I just wanted something alternative to wear on my legs. Especially earlier on this week when the weather was scorching (probably why I'm so moody here). Everyone's all into these skater skirts nowadays, so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon. With this one, as it's denim-esque I'm going to be wearing it with most every top I have.

The top I chose because it's nice and neutral, also I love the lacey/knitted festival style that's out now. I was debating on a crocheted (think that's how you spell it, had 'crotched' at first) waistcoat but I was thinking practically 'when am I going to get to wear that?' So this pretty number it was.

The necklace was from my lovely work girls. Let's take a closer look:


Love it! From Utility which, if you've never been to it, is the cutest shop ever! It has all sorts of goodies and not to mention their furniture. It's my first port of call for presents. I even bought Glynn's birthday card from there earlier which I will be instagramming 'cause it's a bit hilar. But back to my point - I love Utility.


Looking a bit chunky here... I love this T shirt, a surprise buy from Glynn but from my favourite - H! by Henry Holland.The poor thing was panicking I wouldn't like it, but just remember: at the end of the day, if it's got dinosaurs on it how could I not like it?! Definitely the coolest T shirt I own.

Speaking of dinosaurs... TEN DAYS until I see the Walking with Dinosaurs Arena Spectacular!! I don't even care if it's full of kids. I'm also probably going to cry. It's going to be amazing.

"If you don't have the Vengaboys I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!"

- Is apparently what I shouted at a man trying to bribe us into a club with free shots while shaking his shoulders. Not that I remember.

What a birthday weekend!

Had such a nice birthday on Friday with all my lovely cards and presents! Went out for a birthday meal the night before with parents to that new Indian restaurant in New Ferry, Rias Spice. Would recommend. After the meal we got a complimentary chocolate (that even had personalised wrappers) and a free shot of Baileys, v. impressed! Then had a classic McNally quiz machine sesh. Spent my actual birthday laughing in work and visiting the new site and eating McDonalds. Thank you to the work girls for my flowers and necklace. I then went to see Glynn who bought me all this awesome stuff!! 



Saturday night was a little bit awesome. Once Trish arrived from Leeds and we started getting ready I was far too excited. She attempted to put false eyelashes on me - that didn't really work but the glue has stuck my eyeliner to my face and I still can't get some of it off! We went to Wetherspoons, Baa Bars, some bar I don't know and (my fave) Popworld! To be fair it's easier letting the photos speak for themselves because they know more than I do. What I do know is that Hannah and me and an incredible 5 minutes dancing to Rolling on the River and Oh Happy Day (from Sister Act 2), I fell over at least 6 times and I have the loveliest friends for all coming out for my birthday and for being concerned about the state I was in. 

I woke up with a very sore, blistered foot where my shoes had rubbed, aches in my waist, legs and feet, a giant bruise on my thigh and a worryingly weak knee (good job I work in a physio office). Not to mention, even my fingers hurt from clicking too enthusiastically along with the music!

Nevertheless, Trish and I spent yesterday afternoon in Manchester with the lovely Hannah Morris and got to have a very good catch up! And a look around the shops!
And today I've been out with Glynn choosing presents for his birthday next weekend!

So thank you to everyone who has made this weekend awesome and for your viewing entertainment find below the best and best worst photos of the night out. I was clearly loving life.
