A couple of weeks ago I celebrated turning 28 with some of my closest friends. We were away on holiday in Portugal and had the most lovely time relaxing in the sunshine, drinking homemade pina coladas and generally forgetting about our day-to-day lives. Today I'm posting my annual 'What I Got For My Birthday' video (one of my total guilty pleasures when it comes to watching YouTube myself - I love these videos) but this year I thought I would share a little insight into my actual birthday celebrations too. The older I get, the more I appreciate spending time with my friends. It gets harder and harder to get everyone together as free time gets scarcer and weekends get booked up months in advance. Receiving gifts is nice, but spending time with my friends is what birthdays are all about for me. Celebrating with nine of my favourite people in the world made my birthday extra special this year.
My dress is a gorgeous flowing number from Bec & Bridge - I actually borrowed this so I'm not sure on it's current availability - it may well be next season, but if you haven't heard of this brand I would 100% recommend checking them out. The fabrics they use are beautiful and their designs are so comfortable and flattering at the same time. They are an Aussie brand but you can find them online here. The shoes are from Carvela.
I love this post! Happy belated birthday! You look so beautiful. That dress is stunning and the photos are just beautiful too! Glad you had such an amazing day :) xx
Happy belated birthday! I think being with friends and family is the best way to spend our time!!! Glad you had a awesome birthday!! Ps: Jack is looking like a model in that pic! Haha Xx
Such a lovely post Fleur! Birthdays are all about spending time with people you care about and your holiday looks beautiful. That dress is a really elegant, you look so pretty! Happy belated birthday and look forward to your haul. :-) xxx
Fleur you are wonderdul and amazing ;) best wishes, we love you ♡ ;) visit my singing channel www.youtube.com/user/klaudiasings and hope u will enjoy ;)
So lovely Fleur!! Happy Birthday! I turn 28 in January and I feel exactly how you feel about spending time with friends! It's so hard when you get older, everyone has their own busy lives to deal with! Hope you had an amazing day!
Happy birthday, Fleur! You look beautiful as always. I also want to go to a holiday in Portugal for my birthday in November and I cannot wait! Wish you all the best!
Looks like you had a great birthday, love the dress- you are so lucky to get the Chanel boy bag, forever on my wish list! x http://flareaforte.blogspot.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/lottgibbons/
Happy Belated Birthday, it sounds like you had an amazing time celebrating. I agree, as time gets scarcer and scarcer, you do begin appreciating those moments spent together with friends and family. Lovely post, and you looked so wonderful!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Fleur! The pictures are beautiful. I'm turning 28 in December, and I feel like I've been able to follow along with you as you go through big milestones in your life. I was married two years after you and Mike, and I absolutely adored seeing all of the details from your wedding day. My husband and I are now considering starting our family. Selfishly, I wish you and Mike were starting that journey as well, just because I would love to go through those same stages with you. (I hope that's not weird to say) I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I hope you have an amazing 28th year!
