Autumn has finally hit and I couldn't be more excited, it is my favourite time of year, I have been involved in so many Twitter chats the last few weeks and I can tell I am not the only one.  I love the colours, the smells and I love the weather. I have been waiting for this post for such a long time so as Autumn is finally here I thought I would share my Autumn Essentials.




Decorations are key, I haven't really decorated for Autumn before as I  always wait for Christmas, however, when I popped into Homesense and seen all the Autumn range it was too much. I think I could have bought the whole shop but I went for this simple Pumpkin shaped wreath. I thought it was very pretty and just enough 'Autumness' without going overboard. 
I also headed to the candle section and died of excitement when I saw they had Pumpkin Spiced  candles! *heart eye emoji*. They smell like what they say on the box, Give me Pumpkin spiced anything and I will be happy. ;) I have also been loving burning 'Strawberry Shortcake' by Yankee Candles. They have some of the best candles.   

Not only have you got to decorate your room you have to 'decorate' yourself, outfits are key!!! I want to do the full post on my Autumn outfits but for now, I am in love with this burgundy Brave Soul Cord Pinafore! I bought this from Asos, and I think it will go perfectly with Chelsea boots. The colour just screams Autumn!



I also have to mention Zoe's Gingerbread Christmas collection, this will 1000% be my staple this Autumn. The body mist, obviously to make me smell like a walking gingerbread (wo)men and the hand cream to help tame my dry hands. 
Make-up this time of the year is all about the gold smokey eyes and the red lips, It is probably my favourite season. For eyes I think Tanya Burr's 'Hollywood' Palette'  has the perfect shades, 'Gold Coin' is my favourite and  will be the perfect addition to my everyday routine. I also will be using my Nars eyeshadow sticks that I mentioned in my August favourites!!! 
I then thought it was a perfect time to introduce the new addition to the Kylie Fam 'Mary Jo K'. This colour is going to be a hit this Autumn. As you know I love Kylie's formula and have been needing a red so this is perfect. Red lips are great for this time of the year, it goes with any look. I am 100% going to try to pull off the red lips!!!

Hot drinks are also 100% essential, I have been loving going down to Costa on my lunch and getting Chai and Gingerbread Lattes. They remind me so much of this time of year and put me in such a good mood! I also have been loving taking my green tea into work with me with my Zoella Travel Mug! It so pretty and so handy!!!! 

Last but not least nail colour, I can never have bare nails so it is time to bring out the darker colours. One of them being Essie 'Bahama mama'.  I got this in a set for my Christmas last year and absolutely love it, it is a warm deep plum. (please don't judge my chip:(! ) I am sure you will see more colours as time goes on. 

I am obviously so excited that it is Autumn and have a few ideas to post, so keep an eye out!
Let me know what your essentials are? What do you love the most about Autumn?? 
Love Emma

This year is seriously slipping away too fast! Summer is officially over and now it is all about candles and cosy blanket!! (*I am currently sitting bundled up wth my candles burning right now editing this ;) *)  September has come and gone and with that has come new favourites, enjoy! 

I am going to jump right into my makeup favourites as I seem to have gathered a lot this month. 
NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel 
I actually bought this at the same time as my Zoella Sweet Inspirations range but it just got thrown to the bottom of my pile, until now. I don't know why I haven't used it before, I obviously use it after I put on a powder colour to my brows. It holds the shadow and gives my eyebrows a nice shape!!! 
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade
First of all, I was super surprised that this was only £15, for some reason I thought it was going to be more! It gives my brows a more defined/strong look, for days I feel more daring! I was scared that it would be hard use as it is creamier than anything I have used on eyebrows. However, I have found it easy, because, it is so creamy it just glides on. I have the shade 'Taupe' and find it is a perfect match. 
Benefit Hoola Mini Bronzer
This has been my recent September fav, Boots suckered me in by having this at the till point. I have never used Hoola before so I thought a mini would be perfect to try. I will say I find it very close to Nars Laguna and as you know that is my fav!! However, it has been a great addition to my everyday day makeup and the size of the product is great to pop in makeup-up bag. 
Mac Cinderella Beauty Powder - Mystery Princess
Like you can see I have had this for a while, I have loved using it as a highlight, however, recently I have been loving it as a powder. I just think it gives my face a really nice glow, I have hated having a matte face recently so this is perfect. This is one of my favourite products I have bought and it just keeps getting better. 
Kylie Cosmetics - Maliboo
I like to welcome number 5 of my Kylie fam, I know another nude but I swear it is different from the rest. It is slightly cooler-toned tone, and less orangey than Exposed. It is very subtle and is perfect for my skin, once again Kylie has nailed another colour, I have been obsessed! 


Yes To Carrots Pampering Conditioner 
If you don't know I recently dyed my hair so the quality and texture are completely different. I have been finding that I need to buy more products for dry hair. I have heard so many amazing things about Yes To.. products that I thought I would give a go. I did buy a shampoo but I am not that impressed, however, this Yes To Carrots Conditioner is amazing. It makes my hair feel super moisturising and soft and smells amazing! 

Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire
I have read more and more books lately however I always stick to buying the same kind of books, so I went browsing in my friend's house and found this book. It follows Abby in her university, she is the good girl until she meets Travis and her life becomes that little bit more exciting and dangerous!  I haven't finished it but I am really enjoying it!

Rose Gold Addidas Stan Smiths
Now I swore to myself I wouldn't cave into the hype of Stan Smiths but when I was browsing at Duty-Free before Paris and saw these beauties I had to get them.  They have the gorgeous Rose Gold heel and the front detailing. They are super comfy and work with every outfit. I wish I got them sooner but Autumn is a perfect time to throw away the sandals,  and give your feet some warmth without going full out with boots!!

Let me know what your favs where this month?  Any good books that you would recommend?
Hope you are having a fab day!!
Love Emma

I still can't believe Zoella Lifestyle is a thing, a beauty range was one thing but a home and  lifestyle range is another level. I am still so proud of her so I couldn't pass another opportunity to pick up some of her new range. After a few struggles of finding stores that sell it and delivery issues, I finally got my hands on it. The whole range is gorgeous and right up my street, I wish I could off bought the whole range!


 'Naps Fix Everything Cushion' - £12.00
The quote, first of all,  just suits me perfectly, I love it!! The colours are also so pretty, grey, white and baby pink are my all time fav combinations, I think they work so well together. The back of the cushion is super soft, and would be great to lay on.
However, I will say that I am slightly disappointed with the size and the front. For some reason, after watching Zoe's Apartment Tour I thought it was going to be bigger and maybe better quality. The back is so much more comfortable than the front which isn't a massive deal, I just thought it was going to be softer. Nevertheless, I do love it and it is a great addition to my room!


'Pottering Around Decorative Storage Pots' - £10
How cute are these?!?! I actually just bought new storage pots but they were too cute not to buy. I love the quirky saying and the colours are two of my favourites. I am keeping the 'Pick Me' pot on my dresser with, as you can see,  my Kylie fam and I am putting the 'Blooming Marvellous' pot beside my bed to keep my new pencils  ;)
You could use these for many things, keeping plants, pens etc They are super handy and fit perfectly with my room!!!



'On My Travels Backpack' -£50
YESS I GOT IT!! I GOT THE BACKPACK. When I saw Zoe posting this on Snapchat I fell in love. I have been looking for a new backpack so this was perfect, the price, however, was a little bit off-putting. Nonetheless, I decided to go for it as you do get a few bits inside. 
'Write On Point Pencil Collection'
  I love the adorable sayings and the colours, they fit perfectly in my new pots beside my bed!
'The Key To Inspiration Keyring'
I probably wouldn't have bought this but I do love the rose gold and I
love the message! 
 'Warm Hands Travel Mug'
I love this, I have been looking at buying one of these so it is a win-win, I love how it is a screw lid so I won't have to worry it spilling and again the saying is too cute. 
The bag itself, like I said, is beaut and I honestly can't wait to use it (Although I don't wait to ruin it! :o)

Overall, I absolutely love the whole range,  I wanted some of the candles but I feel that I have to go into Boots or Superdrug to give them a smell. 
What I love the most is how simple the branded is, I was worried the name 'Zoella' would be splash everywhere but they have kept it very simple with a 'Z'. 
I am very proud and I hope Zoe keeps growing her profile!

Have you bought anything from Zoella Lifestyle, Let me know what you think??
Have a great day! 
Love Emma

Who is excited about the fact Zoe brought out a full Christmas range? ME!!! 
I knew when Zoe mentioned the scent was Gingerbread, I had to get my hands on whatever I could!

I want to start off by saying a big thank you to Zoella Beauty for featuring my picture below on their Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I can't quite get over the amount of people that actually seen it.  I also want to thank Zoe's fans for the amazing feedback and comments on the picture, I have had nothing but love on my profiles since then! 
I am very grateful and have been itching to upload this post since then. ENJOY!!



I firstly got  'Secret Scenta Mini Mist'- It contains 4 mini body mists.
 'Blissfull Mistful' 
'Lets Spritz'
'Sweet Inspirations' 
'Bake My Day'
They are perfect to pop in your bag for your everyday make-up bag  or travelling. I took 'Sweet Inspirations' with me to Paris. I haven't tried 'Lets Spritz' or  'Blissfull Mistful' so it is a perfect size for a tester.   I'm also OBSESSED with 'Bake My Day'. I honestly see myself wearing it every day in the next couple of months. I may have to purchase the full sized mist!!

I also got 'Let's Go Places' - It includes :-
'Ginger Cream' - Body Cream
'Shower Glaze'- Shower Gel
'Hungry Hands'- Hand Cream
A Shower Lilly
Honestly guys the scent is insane, it is the same is 'Bake My Day' which is a Gingerbread! It is very fragmented and reminds me a lot of Costas Gingerbread Creamy Coolers. It is Christmas in a bottle.
The whole set is perfect, you have Ginger Cream which is super moisturising, Shower Glaze which makes bath/shower time a Christmas dream and my favourite Hungry Hands, I swear I could eat my hands. AND can we talk about the cute packaging, it is like a mini suitcase that can be turned into the cutest storage, the colours are also my fave combo.

I am so happy and proud of Zoe on her new Christmas range, I can't wait to use it fully in the weeks to come. I am also so excited about Zoella Lifestyle, you best believe it will feature on here soon.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Love Emma

If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat you would have seen that I took a trip to DisneyLand Paris with my family.  I spent 4 days (Sunday-Wednesday) in between the Disney Park and Walt Disney's Studies, we also stayed at the Disney Land Hotel which made it easy to come back for a swim.
 As you can imagine I had a 'Magical time' and it just doesn't disappoint, I posted my last years trip (here) if you want to check it out. I thought I would again share some of my snaps that I took whilst away. Enjoy. 

As I mention we stayed at the DisneyLand Hotel, I stayed here once before but I can't remember it, so it was lovely to come back. The hotel is just beautiful inside and out and is literally a two-minute walk from Main Street.  The hotel lobby is stunning as well as the sitting area outside the restaurants, and don't get me started on the bedrooms! The Castle headboard is goals right there. 





Having visited Disney a lot, we have got to know what our favourite rides are, however, this year our favourites Big Thunder Moutain and Star Tours were both shut for renovations! It didn't stop us having a ball on the rest of the rides. My favourite would have to be Haunted Mansion purely because I stopped being such a sap and went on it for the first time last year.
As you can see from the pictures, Sleeping Beauty's Castle was stunning, I could never get bored of looking at that castle.  The fireworks show at night was outstanding as usual, after seeing it so many times I think I could tell you the script! ;)










For me, over the years, Walt Disney's Studios has grown bigger and bigger with some of the best attractions inside. It has plenty of sit down shows, the newest one being Mickey and the Magician, and plenty of big rides. My favourite part was definitely Mickey and The Magician. We had never seen it before as it took over from Animagic, however,  it was jammed packed with Disney songs and featured some of the best Princesses and Characters, it was just spectacular. 
My favourite ride would have to be Ratatouille:The Adventure, this again is fairly new, it is a 4:D simulation ride about the film. It is simply, no big loops or turns but it works wonders. If you love the film you will love this. 




Now that I am back all I want to do is go back and do it all again! Thank you to my parents for making such a great holiday!!
I am also thinking about doing a 'Gluten Free in Disney' so let me know if you have any questions? 
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hey, guys, I am posting early as tomorrow I am heading off to Paris with my family!
I think most people are saying this, but how quickly is the year going! The fact it is already September is crazy, I mean I am not complaining since it is my favourite time of year.
I am pretty happy with my blog posts and how motivated I have been to upload each week so I can't believe its that time again to sit and write my monthly favourites!  


I am just gonna jump right in by saying my number one favourites this month has been The  Harry Potter franchise.  Since reading The Cursed Child I have been obsessed with everything Harry Potter, I have been watching the films and I am now starting the book series again. It brings back so many memories of when I first read it, making me feel like a child. I suppose I understand the books more now that I am older but fun facts about the films;
1. I had to leave the cinema before Prisoner Of Azkaban came on because the
 Dementors scared me so much, my little 8-year-old self couldn't handle it. LOL 
2. Goblet Of Fire is my favourite, (it may have something to do with Robert Pattinson) 
but I just love the whole concept of the games. 
and 3. Order Of The Phoenix is my least favourite, I think maybe because the
 book was so large but mostly due to the fact at this point the films became so dark :(
The whole thing makes me want to visit either HP Studios or Harry Potter World again!!!

To contrast my obsessed with the magical world, I have been loving 90210! Ever since I finished Gossip Girl, I was on the lookout for another series, I think I watched the first episode and gave up but I picked it up again and now I am hooked. So much has happened so far and I am only on season two so I cannot wait to see what continues to happen. At this point, I don't know who to feel sorrier for, Annie or Naomi.

Next up, has to be my Passionfruit Yankee Candle, I tend to just burn candles in the colder months but I found this and I thought I would give a go. It is very citrusy and has been giving my room a lovely summery scent.  It makes me excited about using candles all the time and I can't wait to get all the Christmassy/Autumn candles out.


Skincare favourites have been these two new products, Dermalogica 'Active Moist' and Liz Earle 'Instant Boost Skin Tonic'. After I was given a voucher for my birthday I thought I would nip into to Harvey Nics and pick-up a few more skincare products.  I have mentioned my love for Dermalogica before so it was must to see what other products they have. I picked up a set that contained 'Active Moist' as I have been looking for a new moisturiser for a while. It feels so light on my face  and gives my face such a refreshing feeling when I apply it.

I have also heard amazing things about Liz Earle but never thought to try anything, however, I have been loving this Skin Tonic I bought recently.  I apply this with a cotton pad after cleansing and I feel it just make my face feel that little bit cleaner. I know it is just another step in your skincare routine but honestly, it makes such a difference. It had given my a 'boost' and has helped tame my break-out.


Lastly, has to be my make-up favourites and that is these Nars Eye Shadow pencils, in the shades 'Hollywood Land' and 'Iraklion'. The shades are so pretty, the copper/gold eye will be perfect coming into Autumn. They glide easily onto the eye and with their creamy consistency makes them very blendable. I have been reaching for them when I am in a hurry or want a simple eye look, they are perfect.

Let me know what you have been loving this month, What is your favourite summer candle?
I really want to do some Autumn posts, let me know if you have any cool Autumn ideas!!
How have I done with my first flat-lay?
Have a fab day!
Love Emma
