Can you believe this time next week I'll be married? I'll probably be sat down enjoying my three course wedding breakfast right about now, isn't that crazy? Also don't you love that it's called a wedding breakfast? To say I'm excited is an understatement yet I can't say I'm enjoying my final week as a Miss just yet as I've been taken down by a viral infection which was masquerading as tonsillitis. Gutted doesn't quite cover it and without sounding like a serious whinger I can't remember the last time I felt so ill. Pity party over I wonder whether my health landslide was brought on by my amazing hen weekend, my sister from another mister and maid of honour Gemma organised the most memorable couple of days in London and for that I'm eternally grateful. Check out my Insta for a few clucky snaps.
Two days after our wedding Craig, Sadie and I are heading off to Lake Como for our honeymoon to enjoy some much needed R&R, we'll also be celebrating my 28th birthday while we're in Italy (my first birthday abroad and as a Mrs) so I thought it was high time I compiled a wish list, you know, in case you wanted to buy me a birthday gift before I jetted off? I jest, I jest. Now it wouldn't be one of my birthday lists without a seriously luxe, over the top item - say hello to the Proenza Schouler PS1 tiny satchel which I've been coveting for longer than I care to admit. A more purse friendly find is the Chanel inspired cross body bag from Zara, isn't she a little beaut? MAC Velvet Teddy would fit perfectly inside either of these leather loves don't you think?
Other notable picks, you know, the ones I can't stop thinking about are the Florence ankle boots from Bath babes Seven Boot Lane, not only are these the perfect update to my much loved Sam Edelmans but they share their name with my daughter, that's a sign right? Another Chanel inspired piece is the white frayed cropped jacket from Hush which would be uber chic in Como, not forgetting the gold wear-with-everything timepiece from Shore Projects which needs to be on my wrist pronto. While we're talking jewellery it'd be rude of me not to mention the Monica Vinader pendant which you can have engraved with your initial, I actually borrowed the same necklace from Gemma last weekend and I must confess, I didn't want to give it back.
Last but by no means least are all the beauty, skincare and honeymoon essentials (hello Sam Edelman sandals and silky eye mask) that I'd love to open in Italy. Since becoming a mum I rarely buy skin and body care prods for myself so I thought my birthday would be the ideal time to be treated. I recently tried a sample of Good Genes and it's incredible and MV Organics can do no wrong in my eyes so their little travel kit would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently sans cleanser, body lotion and highlighter (that's terrible for a blogger right?) so I'd adore Cliniques offering, that Becca compact and a tub of Origins pepperminty goodness. I'm also nearly out of Blackberry & Bay and would love to own a personalised bottle, which is something you can get for free (before the 15th of April) thanks to Lily with the code LILYPEBBLES.
Next time you hear from me I'll be a married lady but for now I bid you adieu as a singleton with a curry calling my name. Fingers crossed I can sweat out this infection...
What do you make of my birthday lust list?
