Happy Birthday To Me, From Me

As much as I hate to admit it, this month I turned 25 years old. 25! This is such an awful age for any girl because people begin to remind you of the imminent negatives that come with the big two-five - 'quarter of a century', 'half way to fifty' and 'smear tests' are some of the phrases to have reared their ugly heads in my birthday cards this year and I grimaced with the opening of each envelope. It's the horrifying realisations that (trust me) everyone is so keen to remind you of that make you want to cancel your birthday full stop and never utter a word of its existence to another human being, but that kind of comes with the territory of hitting those dreaded mid 20's.

So, since being a proper grown-up is so terrible I decided to treat myself to a few things to make turning 25 that little bit easier...

May I...

I haven't posted in such a long time. I'm sure all bloggers can sympathise with life getting royally in the way of posting and for me it's been work (and a massive job hunt) that's kept me from doing what I like best. That being said, knowing that I wouldn't have much time to put posts together this month, I updated my site instead with a cute (and much more professional looking) theme and I'm much happier with how this page looks now; I hope you like it as much as I do.
I've also linked my second blog, Best Place I've Never Been, through my new and improved top bar #shamelessplug. Please, please, please check the page out; it's a travel wishlist blog that I've been putting quite a lot into just lately so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing articles for it, hopefully it'll provide you with some travel/adventure inspiration.

Back to CaseyB, I've finally got round to doing a wishlist after completely missing out April and this addition is quite heavily inspired by my upcoming trip to Venice. Okay, I'll admit, it's not actually booked yet, but it's inevitable and I couldn't be more excited! The Topshop bag is ideal for hand luggage and so cute that I actually swooned aloud when I saw it in store. I'm still after a pair of cleated Chelsea boots but would ideally like a black pair with white soles which seem to be non-existent now that I have the money for them (typical) but I'm really loving the peep-toe sling back versions that are storming the blogging network; everytime I see a pair on Instagram my heart aches a little in longing. The majority of the Topshop items are in my online basket waiting to be purchased and once Venice is booked (eeee!) I'll be snapping them up to take away with me. I'll show you everything I buy as soon as it arrives and will hopefully have a Venice adventure to share with you come July.
It's been such a long time, but I'm back and it feels good!

BLOGGER MAIL!!

    The lovely ladies at justfor5pounds.com sent me a spring surprise last week and I'm so excited to share it with you! To be completely honest I was quite apprehensive, seeing as I've never shopped with them before, but it couldn't have been more unjustified. I kept my fingers crossed all the way to the post office and after rushing home and ripping open the packaging, it was clear I'd struck gold.
