Hey all, C here! As you all may have seen from our tweets- I turned 20 years old on January 26th; This year I decided to have two parties, one at Guelph (where I go to school) and one in Toronto (where I live). My biggest concern about my birthday, as always, was finding the perfect outfits.Now since I live in Guelph for school I had to buy my outfits there, and Guelph is a pretty small town. The best store in our mall is H&M so that was my only hope; Thankfully H&M pulled through and I was able to find two bodycon party dresses. One was just $10 and it had a lace top and sleeves, with a sweetheart neckline and the second was $19.99, black with a zipper and a gold foil baroque applique along the front $19.99.
Makeup-wise I kept things very simple and went with natural golds and browns. With my red dress I wore silver jewelry and for my black dress I wore gold jewelery, layering different bracelets. For both looks I opted for the same hairstyle: lightly curled and down with a hair bow. Making the bow is actually a lot harder then it looks, and even harder to do it on your own. Thankfully my roommate was able to help me out; It requires a lot of bobby pins and patience. You basically do the same thing that you would do normally when tying a bow, it's just a bit more difficult because your hair is very flimsy.
Besides all the fun I had with my friends at my parties, I also received some pretty sweet presents this year. I got Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Earrings, which I've been asking for FOREVER, a bracelet from Stella and Dot, Marc Jacob's Dot perfume, a cupcake Pandora charm, and some cute clothes. Happy Birthday to me!
