A fashion post, I know.. it has been a while!! For some reason, I just don't buy clothes for myself or if I do, I never know how to feature them on my blog. I do want to start doing OOTD style posts, I just need to get my confidence up! However, I bought a few things in the sale so I thought I would share!

'Blue American Dreamer Denim Jacket' -£20 
I have been looking for an oversized denim jacket for such a long time, I just love every outfit I have seen paired with it! I saw this on Missguided I had to buy it, 1. as it was the cheapest I could find (lol) and 2. as the back says 'American Dreamer' and that best describes me ;) I love the distressed look on the arms and on the front, it gives it that vintage vibe! 
I am in love with it! 



'Pink Cold Shoulder Ruched Waisted Slinky Playsuit' - £10 
I also purchased this gorgeous Pink Playsuit on Missguided. I have a few nights outs coming up, so I  thought it would be nice to buy something new! This caught my eye because of the colour, it is a salmon pink, not to in your face but yet not too pale. The sparkle is a win, as well as the cold shoulder and high neck.  I just think it is so pretty, the pics don't do it justice!


 

'Cut Out Shoulder T-Shirt' -£9.99
Sticking to the cold shoulder phase, I picked up the gorgeous top from Zara, again I just love the colour. I wear a lot of blacks so I wanted to add a little colour, and this is one of my favourites!
 I am obsessed with the high neck, and the wider sleeves make it wearable into spring! This was just under £10 which I think is a bargain, I always underestimate Zara's prices! I think I will have to have a look more often!


'Anabelle Daisy Print Jersey Culottes'- £10
'Betty Blue Tile Tassel Trim Shorts' - £5
So if you don't know I am headed off to America to work in the summer, I have a lot of summer clothes from last year but what I was missing was shorts! I didn't have a lot of summer shorts so I had a quick look and picked up these two pairs of shorts. I think these will be better to be worn on my days of, as I have a feeling these will get ruined easily but I just loved them so much!!
I love the pattern and I love how they are so flowy! 




'Elephant Printed Belted Trousers' - £6
Lastly, I picked up this pair of Elephant print trousers, I just think these will be perfect for travelling in. They are a very soft cotton material and will be super comfy, but I could also wear at night on my days off, or on camp. I just love the print, you can't go travelling without elephant print ;) They are one size but come with a belt!
 They were £6 which I think is a bargain. 
Unfortunately, they are not on the Boohoo website anymore, but I have linked another pair of elephant trousers for £9 if you want to check out them out! 

Let me know if you have any posts on sale shopping, would love to read them?? 
Do you want to see any OOTD posts and do you have any tips to feel more confident in them?
Hope everyone is having a good day!!

You can't beat a good old Christmas jumper at this time of year, it is super cold and what other excuses can you give to wear a  light up jumper? I am right!! I have bought a new one every year for the past few years so I thought I would show you my collection.
Not to mention on Friday 16th December it is Christmas Jumper day to raise money for Save The Children, I hope I can give you some inspiration for this year!




Fairisle All The Way...... 
You can't go wrong with a bit of Fairisle at Christmas, I just find it so simple, yet so festive. You could get away with wearing this every day and not get judged for being too festive ;) I bought this way back in 2012 in Primark and I have worn it every year!!


Let's Light up the day...
From one extreme to the other, let's go full on Christmas!! Like I said you can't wear a light up jumper any other time of the year, I mean you could but you may get judged lol. I picked this up last year at Matalan and  I  honestly felt like a walking Christmas tree,  I love it!! If you wanna go all out invest in a light up jumper, trust me it will 'brighten' up your day ;) 


Ho Ho Ho....
Having a Santa on a jumper is a must, what is more christmassy than Santa? I mean that is what Christmas is all about right?? ahah kidding! I bought this in Primark a few years ago, and it has been an essential in my Christmas jumper collection. You have to have a Santa jumper!


Sleigh My Name, Sleigh My Name.... 
The last jumper is my newest addition to the collection, I bought this off ASOS but it is from Boohoo and I just love it. When I saw I had to buy it, I love the song 'Say My Name' so it is obviously a play on words!! It is so clever and very simple. On the plus, I get to sing the song every time someone looks at my jumper aha (The jumper is now sold out)


Move over Taylor, it's the Santa Squad..
Last but not least, I bought this adorable tee from ASOS, in the run up to Christmas my work will have dressed days and it will get super hot in a jumper so a nice t-shirt is just perfect!!
I know this is all about the jumper but  I love the slogan, it reminds me of when my sister and I pretended to be an elves when we were younger!!! Major throwback!!


I have been wearing all off these in rotation the last few weeks and it just puts my in such a good mood, you can't beat wearing something Christmassy!! 
We haven't got long now, so exciting!!
Let me know where your Xmas jumpers/tees are from??

Hey guys, so as you know I  visited New York two weeks ago, for me New York consume the month of March! I would normally do a monthly favourite post but I feel that most of the things I will talk about are the things  I bought when I was over there. I thought I would combine the two, telling you my March  favourites but also showing you what I purchased. 


FASHION


If you know me,  you will know I love a good Victoria's Secret shop. Without putting them online, I purchased a lot of underwear as they are the comfiest things ever! 
Surprising I didn't go all out and refrained myself from going overboard. 

I did pick a few items, first one (top left)  is this 'Vitamin Sea' tank top. I actually saw this Anna Saccone-Joly snapchat and fell in love. I absolutely love the colour and think the saying is too cute. 

Next up, (top right) is a simple PINK long sleeved white top. I have been looking, in general,  for a top like this, it has 'PINK' all the way down the back which I think is so cute. It is  perfect for lazy days or a casual outfit.
(Bottom Left) I finally got my hands on VS pjs. I've looking for a set like these for a while, I just love the idea of having VS pjs. There was a lot of summer sets but I wanted a long set. I got my hands on this gorgeous white and pink set. They are quite thin but surprisingly they are still warm. I don't know why but  I feel like someone from Gossip Girl whilst wearing them, but I have fallen in love.

(Bottom Right) Last thing in the picture is a VS gorgeous floral Sarong, the print is just gorgeous and it is really soft, I haven't had any use of it just now but I do love the spring/summer print! 

Last VS items is a PINK Bralet . It is very similar to my Calvin Klein Bralet I received at Christmas, but as I wear that a lot I thought I would buy something similar. It is very comfy to chill in and I adore the colour.

Last fashion items I bought where from Zara. I have never been in a busier shop than the Zara we were in Soho. We waited in the changing room queue for just under hour, yes the changing room queue! It was insane, and we have no idea why we did it. I ended up picking up two pair of leggings, a strip baggy dress, the 'Girl Gang tee' and this 'Are you Gluten Free' cropped tee. I didn't even try this on as I seen it after but as you know I am Gluten free so it was must!


MAKE-UP


I didn't go as crazy on make-up as I thought, I suppose I got a lot at Christmas and didn't really need anything else.  I did however pick a few bits from Sephora. 
I've been needing to find a primer, I have been using a mini sample of Mac' Prep and Prime but it is starting to run out.

I decided I wanted to try something other than Mac so I had a browse in Sephora, they have a section on the end of stands that have 'The Best...' so when I seen this 'HourGlass Veil Primer' I thought I would give it a bash. I really rate Hourglass products, I love how it feels on my skin and I have seen a difference in my make-up! 

Ive heard a lot of great things about Nars eyeshadows, so I took the chance to have a browse. I only picked up one, but it is gorgeous. 
I picked up 'Silk Road' it has a pretty gold and a brown copper colour. Coming into the summer I think it will be perfect for a golden look!

Then I purchased my HOLY GRAIL foundation, 'Nars Sheer Glow' in the shade Mont Blanc. I've talked about this foundation many times so all I'll say is that I still love it. 

The last make-up product was kind of a splurge, Steph and Amy went on a bike ride so I was left in a shopping centre for an hour, so I blame them ;) If you know I am a massive Jennifer Lawrence fan and have always wanted one her Dior lip products but didn't really want to spend that much money. But after getting the lip maximiser and lip glow from Dior I fell in love! I decided to treat myself and pick up 'Dior After Party'. I love how it is a shimmer shade, and I love the colour. Although I haven't tried it yet I have heard it is amazing. 

 MISCELLANEOUS 

The last few  pieces I picked up would of 100% be on my favourites.
First up is this super irrelevant Mug from Francesca's. I adore this shop, it has a lot of quirky item that I love, I did a full haul here from my summer holidays last year!
I saw this mug and had to buy it! I've been using it for water as I don't want to ruin it, but I just love it!

From Sephora I then picked up Invisibobbles,  I hadn't heard or seen anything about these but they looked interesting so I had to try them. As they say they wont give you that annoying line you get when taking a bobble out and I feel it had helped with not getting tangled hair! If you see them definitely pick them up!

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste has to be the best whiting toothpaste out there. Having used their white strips for years, they have started to hurt my teeth. So when I used this at the end of last year it was the answer to my problems! I picked up another set as I was running out but I love it! It does take a bit longer to do your teeth but it is well worth it!

Last two items are a first in my monthly favourites! I never really post or talk about jewellery that much but I am super happy with these purchases.

I picked up these set of ring in H&M After I have been wearing my Tiffany Love ring I have fallen in love with wearing rings. Although I don't want to spend that must on another one, I wanted a few more. These are simple rings and are perfect to add to my outfit! I have been wearing the infinity ring and the bobble ring the most and been loving it!

Last but not least my Alex and Ani bracelet! I have heard a few things about these bracelets over the years but as I don't live in America I have never really researched them, until we were browsing the shops in Soho.  I love the idea of the bracelets and as much as I could of bought the whole shop I went with the Path of Life. It represents 'Knowledge', 'Strength' and 'Motivation' which is what I need. I have been wearing it all the time and it has helped me!

Hope everyone had a great Easter!!!

Hey m'lovelies, Over the last few days I have been purchasing a few bits and pieces  that I am excited to share!! Enjoy.
                 

The Mindfulness Colouring Book- Emma Farrarons 
£3.99
I have been meaning to buy one of the anti-stress colouring books for quite some now, I really like how simply  the idea of colouring in!! I purchased this of of Amazon and I love it!!! The pictures are somewhat kid like drawn which makes colouring them in very easy to do. 
It does what it says, it is very soothing and makes a Lazy day very peaceful!! It great addition to my lazy day routine

RT Miracle Sponge - £5.99
Maybeline Fit Me - £5.99
 Both of these items were purchased of Feel Unique. Since my holy grail Collection 2000 concealer has became extremely popular, it has sold out everywhere. I was recommended Maybeline Fit Me Concealer and  Rimmel London concealer but unfortunately Rimmel was sold out. So  I purchased the Maybeline FitMe  in the Shade 15.  I  absolutely love it. I would say it is a pretty great match to Collection concealer. It is a great colour as well as really creamy. I will definitely be purchasing again.                    
Like the book I have been wanting to buy some sort of Make-up sponge for a while. Since I have been watching quick tutorial on Instagram I have seen a lot of them using a sponge. While purchasing my concealer I picked up the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge.   I bought this so I can get a feel for it and see if I like it as I am looking to buy a Beauty Blender.However I really love how it makes me make-up look on my face. It applies both foundation and concealer perfectly.
                            
Floral Crop Top- £14 
Fashion wise I went into Next. As you know I am going way to America in the summer and I have been picking I few items up as I go. I was given a £15 Next gift card as a gift so I thought I would have a look. 
I picked up this super cute floral crop top.I really love the colour and  thought it would be perfect for the summer, I thought this would be perfect for night time meals but It can be worn everyday or can be dressed up.
This was a really good price at £14, I am super excited to wear it :)

Watermelon clutch - £8 
Last but not least, This super fun Watermelon clutch bag. Since working at Matalan I have picked up a few things over time. But this has to be my favourite. 
My favourite fruit in the summer is Watermelon so I feel in love with this.. How cute is it?!?
The clutch was £8 but I did get some staff discount. I think this would be a perfect cute bag for a summers night.  I seriously can't wait to use it.

Hope you enjoy this haul!! 
I am super excited for my holidays so expect lots of holiday post!
What are you favourite shops at the moment?
Let me know?!

Hope everyone is having a fab week, I am feeling much better so I thought I would give you a bonus midweek blog. Everyone has things that make them happy in the daily routine. Here is a few things that I like to do in my chill time. 
Bedroom set up. 

 I would definitely say a good book is a good place to start if you have spare time.  A great book can put you in a completely different atmosphere, it can make you happy or can make you sad . Either way it can distract you from many things. The book I am reading at the moment is Rainbow Rowell 'Eleanor & Park'. I was a massive fan of 'Fangirl' so I decided to look in to her other book. I am really loving this book. A cup of Green Tea and a cosy duvet is perfect in this situation.   
Doodling is also fun. Whether you are an artist or not, get a blank piece of paper and start doodling. You never know you just might create a masterpiece. I am loving this Fashion Sketchbook. I received this at Christmas and I love it. Whether is drawing of a past outfit, future outfit or an over the top outfit, I love it. I am not the best artist nor fashion designer, having it beside my bed gives me the idea that I am. Getting the right equipment and a perfect soundtrack can make the day fly by.    



   
Carrying on from doodling, Having a diary or writing paper is must. I love to write my ideas about blog posts or my favourite quotes from the day. Taking the time in the day to write in my diary can also bring out the best points in my day. Looking  through on my younger diarys makes me laugh. I normally keep at home but you could also take it in your bag and carry it with you. It doesn't have to be a fancy diary but a pretty one can help motivate you to use it. 



I can also find inspiration on Tumblr. Whether on my phone or on my laptop I find I can spend hours scrolling and reblogging. Like I said I can find inspiration about outfits, bedroom ideas and eating ideas. It can make the day/night go quick. Maybe to quick!!!!!! (*Enter Self Promotion Here*) .

I hope to do more posts like this, I have a few ideas for new posts so keep an eye out. I really want to blog a lot more. I am trying really hard. :)

Let me know what you do in your chill times?

Hey guys, so I thought I would do I quick haul post. I went on a shopping spree yesterday and got quite a lot of beauty items but I also went into Topshop. I am going to America in the summer so I thought I would pop in to see what they had. I pick up a few things.

As it is going to be super hot over there I was looking for something that would be very cool to wear. I have never really been one to wear crop tops but I thought I would step outside my comfort zone.


The first one as you can see is very plain. It is just a simple top to wear with high waisted shorts or trousers. I am planning to wear it when I am on the plane, I think it would be super comfortable and it will keep me cool. It was £6 and it does come it different colours.


The second one was love at first sight. I love the Aztec pattern and the embroidery. It has been described as 'Very you'. I also love the lace detail round the hem of the top. The would be perfect for an everyday outfit that can be transition into an evening outfit. Again this would be perfect for the hot weather. This was £22.


The last item I picked up is probably my favourite. I have been looking for a pair of sandals for ever. I wanted a pair that looked nice but also would feel comfy on my feet. These were perfect. They are super comfy. The leather straps makes them fit nicely on my feet. These were £28 and I am super excited about these.

Over the next few weeks I will hopefully be uploading more fashion and holiday posts. Like I said I am away in July and I am buying items as I go.
 I do however have a few hauls of the other items that I purchased from yesterday, so keep an eye out.


        Let me know what your favourite holiday/summer shops are?

Happy May , Hope everyone had a fab April. My monthly favourites have came around so quick so here it goes. 




My Real Techniques Bold Metallic 101 brush. This brush  has been number one this month. After getting the Oval Shadow brush I really wanted to try the other bold metals set. And when I had some spare time on my lunch hour I went down to boots and seen that there was only one left.I thought it must be fate haha so I purchased it. This brush is perfect. The triangle shape means I can get into any intricate part of my face.The brush is so soft making my face look really smooth. I find the brush a perfect size for my whole face. 

Topshop 'Chuck' Lipstick . This month I have been experimenting more with lipsticks. My fav has been 'Chuck' from Topshop. I am more of a nude/pink kind of girl but I have been loving this shade. It is more of a cherry/plum colour. Although it is coming into the spring/summer I am really digging the shade. The packaging is also very cute.  

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer. I have had this for a while but only recently have I been really loving it. It's great for under the eye and like it says on the it's definitely makes you look awake. It really brightens your eyes. I love how it has sparkles in it which makes your face glow. Coming into the hotter days you really want to look fresh faced. 

My Favourite album this month have been Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear  and Meghan  Trainor's Title. 
I have loved Sia since seeing Dance Moms Maddie Ziegler preform in Chandelier. Every song and music video she released I was obsessed with so I decided to purchase the album. The music is different to want I thought it would be like but I love it. A big changed from the usual chart music. My favourite song would have to be 'Fire Meet Gasoline' 
On the contrary Meghan Trainor's album has a very popy, 1950s/1960s vibe which I love. It puts me in a great mood. It also showcases Meghan's vocals. My favourite track is 'Credit'. Both albums are on reply. 

Once Upon a Time. Having watched this two years ago when it was on TV I was so upset when it  got cut from UK channel.... but I was super happy that it was put up on Netflix. (thank you). I love how it has more characters involved and more fairytales and the story is getting better and better, I can't stop watching and would absolutely recommend it. Plus I wish that David was my Prince Charming. ;) 

Leave in the comments what your April favourites have been?

So my friend Keira did this tag I while ago but I thought I would give it ago, this is the Make-Up Addict Tag... 
  1. Which product do you keep still buying more of despite having plenty in your collection? Nail polish, this isn't partially make-up but I have an obsession!! I have too many, some the same colour but different brands but I just can't help myself..... 
  2. What’s the one product you couldn’t live without?     Bronzer, no matter if I am wearing a full face of makeup or a minimal face I always feel that I need bronzer. I love how much it shapes your face and gives you a glow.
  3. Favourite make-up brand?  MAC, as I have became more obsessed about make-up I will fall on MAC, I think their brand is very high quality! My two favourites products would have to be Natural Skin finish powder and Blush Baby blush. Although I am loving Soap and Glory at the moment, their archery eyebrow pencil and eye shadow are my favourites! 
  4. How big is your make-up collection? I would say I would have quite a small makeup collection compared to others, It is however growing.. 
  5. And how do you like to store it? I have  a makeup table in my room which has one full drawer plus I purchased a clear holder of Amazon which I store my every day/popular makeup..
  6. How many items of make-up have you got in your handbag at the moment? Since I have been working  I don't carry a lot of makeup but my average makeup bag consists of a Mini sample of Clique Redness Solutions Makeup, Benefit bad girl lash mini, 3 collection 2000 concealer haha, Rimmel Powder, and MUA bronzer. 
  7. If you could raid another blogger’s stash, who would it be? I would have to say Zoe for one reason, her Zoeva brush collection. The rose gold brushes are beautiful and Zoe seems to have quite a lot...  
    Photo from Zoella.co.uk 
  8. How long does your usual make-up routine take and how many products do you use? Depending on the day and where I am going it can take me 15 mins- an hour and a half! Normally if i am going out then I like to take my time and pretend I'm some sort of youtubers ahahah
  9.  Have you ever bought make-up knowing you wouldn’t use it?
    At the moment I'm in between whether I can pull of Miley Cyrus Viva Glam Lipstick, it's quite bright and I'm not sure if I will suit it but I can give it a go..
  10. Tag a few other make-up addicts to do the tag!
    Who ever reads this!! 
                                         LOVE EMMA XOX

One month later and we have a blog post, sorry about that, but here is goes...

Primers for me have always been a should I or shouldn't I buy one? I haven't seen the big fascinating on primers before but as I am broadening my make-up collection I decided to go for it. 


My friend Keira and I went on a big splurge the other day and I was very happy to pick up the Smashbox try primer starter kit. 

I had heard a lot of great things on Smashbox primers so I thought I would give  it a go. . 

First of all I love the size, trying a product for the first time can be scary, buying the biggest bottle can be pointless if you don't like the product. 


The foundation primer, I apply this after I cleanse and moisturize my face. 
This product isn't to heavy on my face and I love the feeling as I apply. I only need a pea size amount on my fingers to cover my whole face. 
I do feel that my foundation has applied a lot better on to my face and that it looks a lot smoother. There is no smell which is a bonus, and with having fairly oily skin, I love that it is oil free. 


The Under eye Primer, This has to be my favourite product out the whole kit, an eye primer has been something I have been looking for a while, I feel my eyes have been going wrinkly after I have worn my make for a long time. 
Using this product I again only need a pea size amount and dab under my eyes, I apply a little before  my concealer, it makes my concealer go on a lot easier and again smoother, then I apply it after powder to hold in place and with the touch of shimmer through it it works as a highlight. 
I don't partially have dry under eyes, but I am excited to see how hydrating it can be on my eyes..



The last product in the set was The Lid Primer, I've never been a fan of eye primers but I am very happy with this one. 
The first bonus of this product is the colour, I really love the fact that it's the same colour of foundation, I will normally forget to cover my eyes with foundation so this is just perfect. After using a lot of eye shadow I did feel my eye shadow stayed in place for a lot longer and it also made the colour stand out more. . 

Overall I am very happy with these products and would most definitely consider buying the larger size.

Let me know if you know any other good primers???

Love Emma xox
