they say it's your birthay?

I wouldn't know. I forget everyone's birthday. I'm notoriously thoughtful, but I'm so busy I never know when birthdays are coming. I'm awful. I'd love an electronic birthday device that goes of a week before a friends birthday so I can shop. (Genius.)
I found the cutest birthday book online which will now hopefully keep me on gift giving, card sending and phone calling track. By the adorable Carrot and Stick Press!

I'd die to wear one of these pieces to the show. wow.

The Style Survey - WIN £50 Topshop Vouchers

Hello my dears! As mentioned yesterday, starting today is your chance to WIN £50 Topshop Vouchers! Why a style survey you might ask? Well, if you remember few weeks ago, I mentioned I would love to open a online fashion boutique? I really wants to make it happen this summer so I'm doing marketing research :) So I would really really really appreciate if you could take 2 mins to do my survey? I would be so so grateful :)


If the winner lives outside of UK, then I would gladly purchase her choice of items of up to £50 from the UK topshop.com for her, and then send it via Airmail. Also, Deadline is Monday 1st June.

There are some fun elements involved too, I've put together some moodboards for you to choose your style!

Here is the survey, thanks so much! :)
