My First Ever Pay Day Present!

Hey Guys,

How we all doing on this Sunday?

Todays post I'm really excited to write about because as the title suggests it was my first ever pay day at the end of December. Although I'll say now of course I've been paid in the past, I'm 22 I've had jobs before but these jobs where just to get me by when I was at college and university. This pay day in special. It's special because it's the first one in a job that I absolutely love, it's a proper job and the start of my career.

As it was my first proper pay day I decided I would buy myself something special to remind me of how hard I've work to get where I am today. I bought myself the most beautiful Ted Baker purse and make-up bag to match. I bought mine in the light orange/coral shade, mainly so I could actually find it in the black bag haha but also because I love the bright orange colour.



It has this cute clip fastening with the signature T and B gems.



and the make-up bag has it's little white bow in tack.


I know that was a little picture heavy for one purse and a make-up bag but man I just love it. Every time I use my purse now I remember how proud I am of myself and although this all seems a little extreme my feelings towards a purse but it really does mean a lot to me.

  2. Aww so pretty, congrats. Just a word of advice, do not put it next to anything dark coloured as it will transfer colour and NEVER comes out (it happened to me :,( unfortunately) xx

  5. Congrats! The gifts to yourself looks amazing! I'm supposed to get my co-op (pretty much like paid internship) from my school in August this year so I can't wait to start a proper job towards my career and a bigger paycheck than my previous PT jobs.

    1. I was so surprised when I came across this colour that I just had to have it! I know you can get it in America quite easy but in England it only seems House of Frazer have the orange! xxx
