Hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to the week ahead!
I had a very magical weekend in the form of a unicorn party for my birthday! Even though my birthday was a month ago, I was too jet lagged from my business trip to NYC so I decided to postpone it till I had a bit more time to prepare and get a costume together.
Since I was a little girl, I've been a little bit obsessed with unicorns...! I remember I used to trawl through my Granny's copy of the Radio Times *every* week to see if the film Legend would be on TV... And the flipping excitement when it was! I used to have a pretty large collection of unicorn soft toys and I've been drawing unicorns for a long as I can remember. This mythical beauty is what got me excited about making art... Losing yourself in a moment of magic ; -)
So really, there was no better way to spend my birthday than having a few (ahem) glasses of unicorn juice (!) and donning a magical costume along with my buddies.
I actually managed to rock 2 costumes, as my friend had made an awesome unicorn horn and ears, so I kept stealing them haha!
Here was my first unicorn costume (I love this wig):
And this was my 2nd unicorn look! (Horn and ears made by my friend, Monika):
I had an absolute blast, and really enjoyed pretending to be a kid again with some good old fashioned party games... Pin the horn on the unicorn and a unicorn pinata!
We also tucked into a special unicorn cake I made; vanilla with white chocolate with strawberry jam... Mmmm! And I'm pretty pleased with my (totally amateur!) cake decorating:
Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of my unicorn party and get inspired to be a kid again; be a bit silly and have a lot of fun!
Happy Magical Monday : -)
