My anniversary gifts from Matthew were two books (1st Wedding Anniversary gifts are traditionally paper), I can’t wait to get The Time Travelers wife read before I see the film. It looks like a complete romance/ tear fest!!
I also got this stunning Eternity ring and I absolutely adore it!! 
As a result I want to give my rings centre stage on my hand today, and so I’ve picked NYC Quick Dry Polish in Soho (222B) to wear. It’s a very muted frost pink. I’m not actually sure if I like the shade all that much but Matthew says he thinks its sweet and feminine, so its staying…. for now 
Soho With Flash
Soho Minus Flash
Oh, and if you were wondering what I got Matthew….
For the paper element I got him a novelty present, a little local newspaper mock up, edited with our personal details. Just a bit of tongue in cheek fun
I actually can’t recommend the company I got this from highly enough “In The Paper”
The process was quick and easy, and most of all fun to do, too many of these personalisation websites are long-winded. This is definitely not. They also shipped very quickly (2 days from mainland UK to N.Ireland) and packaged the picture securely, as well as including a free A4 copy of the mock up which I plan to give to my mum. Best of all they were relatively inexpensive, so ticked my bargainista box too. Check them out.
I also got Matthew The Sailing Bible & some Cebe Polarized Sunglasses as he is learning to sail
I’m off to get ready for my night out now, hope you all have fun whatever you get up to this weekend xox

Your eternity ring is beautiful – Matthew has good taste, thats for sure!
You’ll have to let me know whether Dead Until Dark is any good, I quite fancy reading it. I watched the first couple of eps of True Blood and although I really liked it I’m notoriously bad at watching series’ on tv. I forget they’re on usually and then have to wait for the DVD box set and watch them all in one go.
Have a fab night hun xx
Beautiful pressies, congrats!
Better order in the tissues and waterproof mascara before you get to the end of the book. It’ll get watery!
Great presents, love that both of you sticked to the tradition in a creative way!
Beautiful ring!
