Celebrating my sisters birthday

Hello!

Firstly I just want to tell you (as if you haven't figured out already) how AMAZING my older sister Malayka is. She's my sister and one of my best friends. We have always had similar interests and tastes (even when she was living overseas), and a similar temperament too (haha). She has great style and taste, has her own online shop, and is in the process of expanding this into a retail store! I happen to think she is the bees knees, and I'm sure you would too!

I know a lot of my followers are also followers of my sisters blog, so you already know what we got up to for her birthday over the weekend, but I have a gazillion photos and wanted to share some with you!

Firstly on Saturday we went to a fashion exhibition called Fashion at War, which was in the Devonport Navy Museum. It was small but very informative, I recommend you check it out if you're in the area (it runs until Sept 11th). Afterwards, we went up North Head, which is a volcanic headland in Devonport, riddled with old military tunnels. I've actually never been there before, so it was fun to explore! (This is a very picture heavy post by the way)

I got a new haircut.. The big hair was achieved simply by running my fingers through it a few times!

 And of course it wouldn't be a birthday without our traditional flourless chocolate birthday cake.

 

I hope you all had a splendid weekend, I highly recommend exploring new places as a weekend activity, it's heaps of fun!

P.s. I'm glad you all love leopard print as much as I do!

It's my birthday!

That's right! Today I turn 24! I'm not normally a big fan of my birthday, but this year for some reason I was super excited!  The day started at midnight opening gifts from my man in bed before sleep time (I've never opened presents in bed before, so it was a total novelty!), opening more gifts from him first thing in the morning (still in bed hehe), and then off to my Mums place for breakfast!

Mmmm Waffles

The dogs love waffles too!

Opening presents!

After a nice relaxing breakfast, it was off to school for me (I had classes until 8:30pm, not so nice on my birthday). Because of this, I actually got to have my birthday cake on Sunday night...

Our traditional family birthday cake is a flourless dark chocolate and almond cake, and boy is it delicious!! It's only made when there is a birthday in the family, but luckily I come from a larger family, so we get to eat this seven times a year!

My evening consisted of yummy pizza and beer, as well as another birthday cake, made by my boyfriend! Now I am very full and sleepy!

Hope you've had a lovely day,
