(I do like it.)
Finally, we had our first real autumn day in my university town: The trees and bushes outside my window are starting to turn orange, and the air has a crisp, smoky, almost wintery note to it. Since September has been unusually warm so far, I'm perfectly okay with this - the winters here are certainly very harsh and long, but I'm still always looking forward to the change of seasons.
The change from early autumn to late autumn is for me also marked by my birthday - I'll be 25 in a week. And just like I'm looking forward to winter every year, I'm also still looking forward to my birthday. I don't like throwing parties for myself, but I do like to have that one day a year when I'm allowed to feel like it's all about me. That's what birthdays are all about, really: Simply celebrating the fact that you exist.
Because it truly is worth celebrating.
I'll be celebrating by cutting a fringe, buying the perfect shade of red nail polish and baking toffee-filled raspberry cupcakes. Sounds mature enough.
My birthday whishes this year:
The perfect red lipstick (I've found the perfect shade for my nails, but not for my lips)
A fragrance locket (because I love perfume and the idea is totally romantic)
Juggling balls (I learned to juggle when I was 18, and I really want to take it up again)
A new scent (I'm thinking a cheaper perfume, perhaps a Bodyshop one)
Metal wire (I'm really into wire craft and I'm constantly running out of material)
A negligee (I really want something silky and sort of boudoirish... Which seems to be hard to find in reasonably priced stores, since everything is either hot pink, leopard or flannel)
New skincare (because I seem to be running out of everything right now)
And of course I'd love to get flowers. And flowery things. And flowery pieces of clothing. My year-long obsession with flowerprints shows no sign of fading yet, even though I should probably be looking at knits and wintery things instead... Oh well.
I wish you all a sweet sunday!
