Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this year, it really has been overwhelming and such a rewarding experience.
I’m celebrating the day with this giant silver helium balloon and some new wardrobe additions. My Markus Lupfer t-shirt I got for Christmas:

I’ve teamed the t-shirt with my new Topshop faux leather quilted skirt (which I’m currently wearing all the time):

And as it’s new year for The Frugality, I’ve brought out my finest sparkle. Remember the Jimmy Choo candy clutch? Well I saw it at a sample sale and as I’ve always lusted after it, I decided it was time to invest. And I love it. I teamed my celebration outfit with an OTT Swarovski cuff bracelet. It is a special occasion after all!

I know I've said it already, but Happy Bloggy-Birthday Alex! I'm so thankful you started this blog; you're oe of my absolute favourites and you always give the most wonderful, 'real' advice!
P.S. I LOVE this outfit on you! May I ask if this Zara coat is from this season (I've been hunting for one just like it for 3 years) and if you know if the Markus Lupfer shirt is available with the blue sequins (I can only find pink on ASOS) anywhere?
Briony xx
Think this may be one of my favourite looks on the blog x
