Just an update.

I am so sorry I didn't update last weekend. My internet wasn't working for ages and then when it did start working my laptop wouldn't let me log in for at least 3 days. And on top of all the technical difficulties I have also had a lot of revision to do and homework as I have just started my final year at high school.

 

I have also just reached over 200 followers on my Amazine page so I am extremely grateful for that. Thank you :)

 

Once again, I am really sorry. I've been dying to post something and I promise you I will definitely  post at least once this weekend.

 

Until then, goodbyeeeee. I hope you have a brilliant rest of the week.

hats, hats, hats

So it's coming up to Autumn (if it's not already here) and so I've been looking online for various Autumn/Winter accessories and oh my goodness I am really loving all the different sorts of hats and capes and wrap overs and scarves. I JUST LOVE AUTUMN CLOTHING

 

I've never really been someone to wear hats, I've been told they suit me but I haven't actually worn them much. But I am really loving Fedora's and Cloche hats. Omg. I am in love. I can guarantee pretty soon you'll be seeing a hat haul from me.

 

I'm also loving the winter transition from the summer-must-have kimonos to the winter-wrap-up capes. I think they are so pretty and elegant. They just look like they would make you feel like a movie star sauntering around New York carrying really big shopping bags. I don't know, that's just what I think of when I see them.

 

I really want a classic black leather bag this winter aswell. I just can't wait to do an Autumn haul.

What's in my bag tag- School Edition.

As it is the start of September many of you have probably gone back to, or started high school ,or college and because of this I came up with the idea of combining  a 'what's in my bag' tag with a school essentials type thing. It also then gives you some ideas about what you might need if your starting a new stage in your education; everything from beauty to planning covered.

 

My bag is actually an old season Next leather look shoulder bag, that I happened to stumble upon in a charity shop. Now at school we have been told that we are having bigger books this year and so my bag is bigger so I can fit them in; it is slightly bigger than your average shopper bag. It has a quite large oblong pocket at the front which would be perfect for those of you who have large purses and also a zip compartment at the front which is really hand for throwing your phone in and headphones- this pocket is actually quite deceiving and is bigger than it looks. The main section of the bag is what feels like suede lined (although I don't think it is) and has an inner pocket, phone slot and slightly larger slot next to it for, lets say your camera. It has also got a large zip pocket on the back of the bag.

 

 

In the first large pocket of my bag there is a small packet of tissues and a compact mirror. I can tell you now that after a few weeks this is also where I will find a hoard of lip products that I have felt like I haven't seen in years as this is what usually happens. Honestly, last year I ended up with roughly 5 various lip products in my blazer pockets. Currently, there is only one lipstick in there, which is a YBF lipstick in shade popular primrose. It is such a pretty everyday shade. I love it! And the mirrored packaging is super cute too... although I can't find a link to leave you, sorry.

 

 

The main section of my bag is filled with 5 school books, my media folder, a tattered copy of 'Lord Of The Flies' and my pink lunchbox.  My pencil case is also in this section. It is from Home Bargains an was only 99p as I thought that there was no point in spending money on an expensive pencil case when it was my last year. It has a really pretty montage effect print on it of leopard and zebra print in bright colours, the zip is also a pastel blue, which is one of my favourite colours at the minute. Also in my bag there is my body spray, which comes in handy after a hard P.E lesson; 'Charlie' in scent 'Enchant'. I'm rubbish at describing smells so basically on the back it says ''charismatic blend of wild apple, honeysuckle and coconut''. I don't know what that is suppose to mean but it does smell really pretty, this is my go-to body spray at the minute. In the phone pocket I have got my ''Mini Ted Baker body spray'' which is described as being a compromise ''of rose sandalwood and juicy raspberry that smells as good as it looks''. Ok, no need to be so cocky Ted Baker. Aha. But it does actually look really pretty.

In the last back pocket of my bag there is the instructions to my calculator (which is in the front zip section sorry :/ ) and a next carrier bag. Which I use for when my coat or umbrella gets wet in the morning, I can put it in there so that it doesn't get everything else wet. Clever thinking on my part methinks.

If you enjoyed reading this post (I knew I enjoyed writing it then please drop me a comment. Thank you for reading, have a nice day,
Leah-Marie xo

The Autumnal Tag

I saw this tag floating about on a few blogs and decided that I would do it. The main reason being that I love Autumn, from the changing colour of the leaves and unplanned walks to cosying up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate with the idea that Halloween is close and Christmas is almost in your grasp.

 

1. What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Nero etc.?

I do have to admit that I aren't very adventurous when it comes to trying different drinks from coffee shops. And I also don't like coffee that much or tea. So I usually stick to the Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino's from Starbucks or Hot Chocolate. Let's face it Hot Chocolate is like the perfect hot drink for Autumn time.

 

2. Accessories- what do you opt for scarves, boots, gloves?

Layers. layers. layers. Layers is the way to go. I usually wear dresses with thick tights, long scarves, parka coats, mittens (aren't mittens like the cutest things ever?) and bobble hats. This season I am particularly loving ankle and Chelsea boots. I think they are really pretty but also and some sort of masculinity to your outfit.

 

3. Music- What's your favourite type of music to listen to during Autumn?

I don't think I change my music taste in autumn but there are certain bands and artists that remind e of autumn as I began listening to their music then or discovered their album. Bands such as Little Mix and The Courteeners. Very different- I know but hey ho. Other  than that the usual Christmas songs have to make an appearance towards the end of Autumn start of Winter.

 

4. Perfume- What's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I don't really have a favourite scent for this time of year. But this autumn I would really like to experiment with a new scent.

 

5. Candles- What scents will you be burning this season?

I really like Yankee Candle's Merry Marshmallow tea lights. They smell like baking and that is exactly what you want your house to smell like when it's chilly outside. I also have a mulled wine spicy scented candle that remains me of Christmas.

 

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

I love the excitement and magic that Autumn brings. The chilly nights where the weather's not fit for anything apart from staying inside, curling up on the sofa and watching multiple films with hot chocolate. The days where you can stroll through local parks and kick the crisp, fallen leaves with your feet. Where you can wrap yourself up in so many layer sand then head out shopping in the autumn chill with friends or family.

 

7. Favourite make-up look?

My favourite make-up look for Autumn is a simple cat eye and a bold dark lip. Or a smoky eye with a nude lipstick. Something simple but elegant and pretty.

 

8. What are you looking forward to the most this Autumn?

This Autumn I am mostly looking forward to the clothes. Don't you think autumn clothes are always the best? And spending time with friends and family during Halloween and Christmas. Also, going to see Ed Sheeran in October. However, I'm sorry Ed October will always be known as Nina Nesbitt's month to me :)

I tag everyone who has taken the time to read this as I am extremely grateful that you have; Thank you.

Bloglovin' and Pinterest

Hi guys,

So I recently created a Bloglovin' account and a Pinterest account. I'll leave both links below but first I just want to share with you what Bloglovin' is and how it works.

 

Bloglovin' is a way in which you almost sync your blog updates to Bloglovin's website. People can then find your blog a lot easier as there is a search bar element on the site and can also like and follow your blog with a click of a button. It is also very useful at helping you to find new blogs and blogs that are just starting out... like me. If you've just entered the world of blogging and want to create an audience then I think that this is one of the ways in which to do so. Go try it out and have some fun :)

Bank Holiday Monday

So today is a bank holiday, as I live in the UK (I don't think you have them in other countries?) and I just thought I'd share with you how I spent my day. It's going to be quite a short post but hey:)

Today, I woke up with every intention to meet my friend and then go down to the local park to practise some netball skills. But like every bank holiday the weather has been dull, dreary and wet. So we cancelled our plans and I have spent the day finishing up my homework as the 'Back To School' season is upon us and tidied my room as I will be out all day tomorrow.

Currently, I am watching 'Brave' with my mum. We haven't watched it before and have been wanting to for ages and so far we're really enjoying it. And we have both decided we want Merida's hair. If only I had red hair :)

By the way, I'm thinking about trying to do a make-up tutorial as a blog post and I'm also thinking about reading a book each month and then doing reviews about them on here. If you like the idea of these posts or think of any you'd like me to do drop me a comment. I would be thrilled to hear about what you have to say:)

Relaxing...

This week for me has been very hectic. The house is currently being renovated and so it is a complete mess and I have got lots of homework to be doing. So I decided to post about what I like to do to relax and unwind.

 

Firstly, I like to take a nice long shower with a body wash that smells extremely nice. My favourites being 'Soap and Glory's Rich and Foamous' body wash, 'The Candy Jar's Marshmallow hearts' (available from Tesco) and 'Dolly's Mixtures' Strawberry Daiquiri' (from Asda). They smell very sweet and ultimately makes me feel girly and pampered.

 

After showering, I will moisturize and exfoliate and then use a face mask to make me feel very clean and relaxed. There's nothing quite like a good face mask to make you feel like your on cloud 9.

 

Following this, I'll light some candles and  make myself a hot chocolate. I'll then curl up on my bed and watch a film (most likely a chick flick... something like Love Actually or 50 First Dates) or lose myself in an exciting novel that no doubt I have read hundreds of times before.

 

Here's to hoping you have a wonderful evening and I get to finish clearing my room so that I can have one to.

Sorry my bottle of Marshmallow hearts is dented, I bought it like that as it was the last bottle and I had to have it because it smelt so delicious.

New Glasses..

I am so excited to tell you (although it has no effect on you) that I have recently bought 2 new pairs of glasses. If you are a glasses wearer, then you will probably understand my excitement, or at least I hope so.

Some people tend to ask me why I always get 2 pairs of glasses and it's because I seem to get really bored with wearing glasses and then ultimately stop wearing them and so in order to stop this I buy 2 pairs so I can switch it up a bit from time to time. The downside to this is it takes me a while in the morning to decided on which pair to wear that day :L

 

The first pair I purchased are what I think I will be wearing every day. They are the more ordinary pair of the two. They are the FCUK 99 pair in green (or so it says on the Specsavers website, I think they are actually blue). They are quite big and round, with a slight cat eye.

My second pair are the Red Or Dead 100 pair which are black and have an accentuated cat eye. They are extremely quirky and unique and make you look like you have just walked out of the 50s. Above the lenses (on the cat eye) they have got 3 magnets which allow you to clip various coloured strips on. Which makes the glasses even more wearable as they give you many different looks and they seem to accentuate the cat eye even more, which is brilliant for me as this is the main reason I bought them. The strip bits (I don't know what to call them) come in a red, black and sort of a marble sandstone colour. You can see them in the pictures below.

 

My Red Or Dead glasses can also be seen in Tanya Burr's 'Everyday make up for Glasses Wearers!' video. I shall leave a link to that down below along with the link to both pairs of my glasses on the Specsavers page.

 

I love both pairs but now have the immense decision of which to wear when we go out for tea tonight.

I may be posting again today, as I didn't post the other day so...look forward to that:)
