Continuing with the Birthday themed posts comes a make up routine that I not only pulled out for the big day last week, but have been loving ever since. Making a change from my usual black winged liner I've been opting for a navy blue shade which, although subtle, really makes such an interesting difference, and of course a bold lip - it wouldn't have been right without one! There's always something a little bit more special about Birthday make up so I hope you like this one as much as I did!

Last week I turned the grand old age of twenty three and despite my sadness at no longer having my own Taylor Swift song to sing, ("I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty three" doesn't quite have the same ring to it..) I'm happy to say goodbye to another chapter of my life in order to start a new one.

The last twelve months have been some of the best and worst. I've been given amazing opportunities both in life and for ICT, met some incredible people and even made a new best friend, but at the same time I've also had to say goodbye to loved ones forever and faced challenging moments that I'm glad to put behind me.

This year is going to be all about making the most of things, saying yes more and enjoying life because, as we've all been recently been reminded by tragic events not only around the world but right here in the blogging community, it's too short and so precious!

I can't believe we've rounded up yet another week of #ICovetJune! It started off with a chilled weekend of catch ups, coffee and shooting a few outfit photos (see the finished post here!) and ended up with full blown paint fight organised by Benefit with a host of bloggers dressed up in jumpsuits throwing paint at each other! Definitely once of the messier experiences of my life, especially on a day I for some reason chose to wear all white..

I rounded the week off with something a little different for today's vlog, and roped Darren into doing a sit down Q&A with me. If you've ever wondered how we met or what our favourite ice cream flavour is it's definitely worth a watch.

So many dangers present themselves when opting for an all white outfit, but after finally finding myself the perfect pair of white jeans from River Island - high waisted; check, ripped knees; check, thick enough to not be classed as see-through; thank god yes, I haven't been able to resist layering up a monochrome colour palette with a few pastel hues thrown in for good measure in the form of this gorgeous Misguided Duster Coat and a Lilac Tote from Asos.

As well as whites I've also been into layering my accessories, with stacking rings - my favourite still being the stunning Monica Vinader Riva Ring (a thousand boyfriend points to Darren for picking that one out himself!) and a newer addition to my wrist, the Daniel Wellington Classic Sheffield Watch*. I opted for the silver men's version for the chunkier feel and bigger face, which I've been loving teaming with a few dainty bracelets.

Daniel Wellington are also giving you 15% off any watch from their collection with the code 'icovetthee' until June 30th, which is a pretty amazing bargain!

All white is definitely the way to go for an instant Summer outfit, I'll just be making sure to stay well away from brown foods for the time being..

As much as I love the process of getting ready for a night out, putting on a full face of make up and bringing out the heels, my favourite part of the evening is usually taking it all off again! Last week I stayed at Shoreditch House with St Tropez as a little introduction to their In Shower Gradual Tan (FYI, its fab!) and one pizza, three cocktails and hours of chatting later I headed back to my room for a post-party wind down...

Week two of #ICovetJune is over - I can't believe the month is flying by so fast! After a chilled out weekend with Darren and being taken on a date to one of my favourite spots here in the South, I spent a busy few days in London which included a night at Shoreditch House, drinking one too many prosecco laced cocktails and meeting some lovely blogger babes in the process!

I hope you've enjoyed the vlogs this week! Don't forget to enter my second giveaway of the month by following me on Twitter @ICovetThee and retweeting this tweet for the chance to win some Topshop & NYX goodies!
