Christmas Time

 My brother and sister practicing their blog poses...!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I hope you had a lovely time celebrating with friends and family, eating a lot and hopefully got some great presents. I certainly did! I spent Christmas eve with my close family plus my grandparents, we went to the carol service in the village which was fun. I cannot sing for the life of me but singing to some Christmas carols is always pretty good. Then Christmas morning was spent opening some amazing stocking gifts and eating ham and eggs. My cousins arrived around midday which made the house busy with some a festive atmosphere. We ate loads for Christmas lunch then opened some fantastic presents in the evening. These are just a couple of shots that were taken over the festive period. I had a lovely time with family and I hope you did too!

Also exciting news - I was accepted to be a part of #AccessAllAsos (a type of Asos insider) which I'm so grateful for!

I've just finished reading Veronica Roth's Allegiant which was brilliant - tempted to do a blogpost about it, let me know what you think/if you've read it!

Merry Christmas's Eve's Eve!

 

 Wearing: Top - Urban Outfitters. Leggings - H&M. Cardigan - Republic. Bag and Necklace - New Look. Shoes - Office.

During the New Year I think I might make having spontaneous outfit shoots with my phone withan everyday outfits a regular thing. So if I was going out shopping or the cinema on the weekend I can take a few quick snaps. This will also mean I can have an experiment with some different photography apps. This was done on 'Afterlight' which is possibly my favourite app. It just has such a lvoely range of different effects - my most used one at the moment is 'wicker.' This outfit was a simple slightly whimsical choice. This top is one of my recent favourites, it was a bargain £8 from Urban Outfitters! Then my trusty Doc Martins that are still my pride and joy despite the blisters they've caused!

P.S. Merry Christmas Eve's Eve!

My (2nd) Favourite Place in the World

Aside from New York ( and maybe London) My bedroom is my favourite place in the world. I had it redecorated the summer of my back surgery in 2011 and since then it has evolved to be my everyday space which I can come to, relax and just chill out.  For a while I have wanted to share with you my bedroom but was unsure whether to do it through a video or photo's, I decided to use a mass of photo's so I hope you don't mind another photo-heavy post!

A few books that I'm reading and studying at school. Beauty products that I frequently use and My bedside table with the latest copy of Company and Teen Vogue along with the book I'm reading at the moment - Anne Frank's. diary.

 

Yup, I'm sixteen (although seventeen in January) and I still have one favourite cuddly toy - A Hippo called Annie.

Shelves with all my fashion books I own along with all my copies of Company and Teen Vogue.

 

My desk which is where I do most of my school work - This is my photography sketchbook.

So there you have it, my bedroom. Hopefully with this 101 photo's you can get a sense of it. I decided to edit the photo's a little differently as well which I was initially apprehensive about but I think I like the outcome. Do you like this type of post? Let me know in the comments if you want more of this lifestyle type posts.

Little Black Dress

Wearing: Dress - Asos, Socks - Forever 21, Shoes - New Look. Cardi - Republic. Lipstick - Vivo 'Pucker Red'

Since when I was little getting a real Christmas tree and the little trip out to choose and collect which one we want has always seemed like a big deal. So this year, I decided to take my camera with me and attempt to take some outfit photo's whilst there. However my mum started to shoot me whilst I was amoung many tree's and it ended up other people laughing at us so we quickly cowered away and put the camera away. I did get a few pictures though!

I ordered this dress from Asos two weeks ago to wear to the #WWMeetup (see my last post) and it seems to fit every occasion possible. I've also been wanting to wear knee-high socks for it feels like foreveeeeer but I always was too worried with how to style them and what they would look like etc. But I decided to wear some low denier black tights aswell as the socks to make them a little less stand-out and I must say, I am pleased with the result! I decided to go with a classic red lip (which I was very happy that it got a complement for how long it stayed on at my friends Christmas Dinner!) and winged eye-liner. The dress is a lovely soft material that feels almost like your in you pyjama's but looks a little better that going out in them, however much I want to.

#WWMeetup

I'm finally on school holidays again, well ignoring the day and a half I have this week; I'm thinking it won't really count as (fingers crossed) we'll just watch films and eat chocolate. Which mean A) I can finally get on top of my blog and B) It's christmaaaaaaaaasssss, well nearly. 

Sorry for the picture heavy post but last weekend I travelled to London to attend the #WWmeetup organised by Islay and Ellie. I have been super excited for this for  long time because I had never been to Winter Wonderland in hyde park before and I was excited to catch up/ meet some new bloggy friends! At the beginning of the day I met up with Jordan and Emily before we travelled towards Hyde park to meet the others. We then met up and walked towards the park. Initially we went of in small groups to wonder around before we met up to do some browsing along oxford street and eat something. Ellie, Ellie, Ellen and I (yup, I ruin the names beginning with 'Ell' thing...) we bought some extremely yummy German doughnuts before going on this indoor snow roller coaster thing. It was great to see Ellie again and meet Ellie and Ellen. After meeting up with the other girls again we headed towards oxford street (however a bit of confusion meant that we split up from other girls who were originally there) After browsing through Selfridges, having a picture with Father Christmas and obsessing over Ellie's Polaroid camera we headed to Ed's Diner. Overall I had a lovely day and to be frank I want to rewind time and do it all over again. Thank you to the lovely Ellie and Islay for organising it!

Other bloggers I met: Carissa and Lily
