May, my favourite month of the year.

Good Afternoon,

Once again May has been a fantastic month, possibly one of the best months of the year. 

In the space of a month I have been a festival goer, turned 21 and held a party and was whisked away to Paris (check out my next blog post for my amazing Paris trip). A whole lotta happiness in one sentence.

Swingamajig

To start of the month with a bang, myself and friends attended Swingamajig Festival in Birmingham, an electric-swing music festival. Having had such a great time last year with lots of alcohol, dancing and gypsy mayhem fun it was a no-brainer to attend this year.

Below I wore Missguided flares, I fell in love with these flares online when I seen they were one of my favourite colours. 

Swingamajig was crazy and so much fun with the event organisers increasing their stages this year and increasing the size of the venue. One of my favourite acts of the evening was Ed Solo, he went off!

21st Party

Once I had recovered from Swingamajig the party planning started for my 21st. On the 19th of May I held a party at my home in Wales, I decided to do it fairytale themed in which I could decorate the garden and everybody would have fun dressing up. 

I decided to go as Poison Ivy, I wanted to hand make my costume. As seen below I started with a corset and stuck fake ivy leaves on with a glue gun.

I had roughly 60 guests at the party including family members and friends. I had the best birthday I could ask for, all my closest friends and family were there to enjoy my day with me. 

My dad performed in his band, with a surprise three songs which included the spice girls (childhood memories), wonderwall and yellow (favourite songs) were performed. 

After the band ended my two friends set up their decks and DJ'ed for the rest of the evening.

From turning 21 it has made me extremely grateful for life and the people I have by my side. I feel extremely lucky to have so many dear friends and family that care about me. 

To top off an already epic birthday my family all chipped in and bought me a Mini Cooper, how lucky am I?! 

So has anybody else been festival goers this month? I'd love to know a bit about different festivals! I am always on the look out for a new festival!
