As some of you know from Instagram and
various other forms of social media, it was my birthday last Sunday. I
turned 25 which I absolutely cannot believe. I'm continually mistaken
for a teenager still. This age feels like the next age group (maybe it's
the stage where I'm no long supposed to be completely obsessed with
unicorns!). I'm very young at heart and definitely not particularly
mature so I'm not too sure how this has all happened. Where are all the
years going? I had been dreading turning 25 for ages but instead of
dwelling on overwhelming negative thoughts I realised a couple of
things. If I was more than a couple of years younger I wouldn't have my
current job, I wouldn't have graduated with a couple of degrees from
university and I wouldn't be so close to becoming a solicitor. These
aspects of my life are my main source of happiness and fulfilment at the
moment. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I have now and to be
where I am today. Here are a few pictures of my birthday. The unicorn cake is incredibly impressive and speaks for itself! Following on from my love of velvet as explained in the post here,I've been wearing this dress a lot recently. I learned from a few bloggers that this colour can be called claret; that just sounds so royal and sophisticated. A velvet claret skater dress. I like that. The hair bow is concidentally the perfect match. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it in the shops knowing I had my claret velvet dress at home. I bought the Audrey Hepburn printed bag from a gift shop near where I work. I spent some money for my birthday and this is one of the new additions to my wardrobe. Since it's a box bag and doesn't close, I have to be extra careful to ensure the contents of my bag are neatly arranged. Also from my birthday is my new pandora necklace which I am wearing here but that deserves a post of its own.

One week belatedly, Happy Birthday! I love the dress you were wearing at your birthday dinner. Did you know in advance that your outfit would be coordinating so well with that delightful and scrumptious looking pink iced birthday cake with its unicorn and rainbow themes? I hope all of your birthday wishes come true. 25 is a wonderful age! I wish I were that age again. It is truly scary how fast time goes as one gets older. You're in the prime of your life and I hope you thoroughly enjoy it.
I love the velvet dress you wore in the outfit photos. I'm certain it feels every bit as delightful as it looks and that's saying a lot. our Audrey Hepburn printed bag is adorable too.
Happy Birthday again!

Love that cake - it looks delicious, and very fun too! :)
Glad you had a fun time - although it can be weird getting older (the years pass so quickly!) it's a good time to look back and celebrate everything you've achieved over the year. And you've had a great year! :)

Happy B.day, you look gorgeous!!
I felt the same anxiety you did, but then learned that just 'cause we grow older doesn't mean we have to grow up! It's good to be young in spirit. Your dress and shoes are AMAZING.
Happy Birthday!! That rainbow unicorn cake is so amazing!! And you look beautiful :)

Velvet always feels sensual to me. Growing old is a part of life.

Belated Happy Birthday to you, girl! 25!? WOW!
I am so...scared to turn 19, I don't know why. I feel as if I am not ready at all!
And, hey! You can obsess over Unicorns even if you turn 80. Unicorns rock. All arguments against are invalid...
Have an awesome day, friend :)

Happy birthday sweetheart. Age is nothing but a number. You feel young inside, that is all that matters.
That dress is a very, very beautiful piece. I think velvet is a rich fabric and the color lights up your entire surrounding. You look fantastic.

That is some cake and another happy birthday to you!
Happy belated birthday, Imogen! Hey, better to be mistaken for younger than older, am I right? I am mistaken for being older than I am sometimes and it's uncanny, haha. I'm usually the one being mistaken for 25, which is so odd! I digress. Your cake has to be one of the greatest birthday cakes I've seen (and I bet it was delicious, too :) :)!) and I hope that your day was extremely magical.
As for your velvet dress, it's stunning with those heels. There's nothing more beautiful than red velvet!

A very happy belated birthday Imogen; you deserve all the happiness & joy in the world & I hope this year brings it to you <3
I can definitely understand to where you're coming from with the age thing; I just turned 24 and although everyone insists you're still so young, there's definitely a feeling of 'god, I'm really not a teen anymore!' Definitely best to stay young at heart, I love your unicorn cake, possibly the best cake in the world!
Sounds like you have so much to be proud of, and much more to look forward to in the future! xox

Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love your cake :)
Happy belated birthday! I can imagine turning 25 would feel weird. I have a year and a half until then. I love your unicorn cake though! There's no need to feel too grown up. That's no fun anyway!
yay, happy birthday Imogen! And yes, sometimes age brings more wisdom and accomplishments! the unicorn cake looks absolutely beautiful...did someone make it for you? And I learned something new, I've never heard of the colour claret! Haha I have a velvet dress in a similar colour. Looking beautiful as always, and hope you are enjoying your week so far! :)
