My Favourites ATM

Hi guys, I thought I'd write you a 'My Favourites ATM' post so that you can see what I've been loving lately and why.

1. Starbucks Hot Chocolate- When I went to Mojacar in October, on the plane I had a Starbucks hot chocolate. I hadn't had one of these before- well not for a very long time anyway, and let me just tell you it was sooo good! That good that I had one on the returning flight as well. It was just so creamy and smooth and chocolately. mmm.
2. Cheryl Fernandez Versini- I first started to listen to Cheryl when I was in my last year at Primary School when she had her singles 'Fight For This Love' and 'Promise This'. She was like the only person I would listen to apart from Kelly Clarkson. So when she brought out her new album obviously I was going to want to have a cheeky listen. When I first heard 'Crazy Stupid Love' I new the songs on her album were going to be great. who couldn't love that catchy tune? 'I Don't Care' is also great for when somebody has either annoyed you or your in a bad mood. An instant pick-me up :L Well done Cheryl!!! The links to both 'Crazy Stupid Love' and 'I Don't Care' will be below.
3. Gossip Girl- Not very long ago I got Netflix which led to my discovery of Gossip Girl. Oh my goodness, I am addicted. Every episode is full of twists and turns of 'Manhattans Elite'. My ship ends up changing every 2 minutes. One minute you want Nate and Jenny to get together and then you want Vanessa and Nate. I'm on season 4 already... It's safe to say I am well and truly hooked.
4. Frozen- I know I'm a bit late to join the hype about this one (more like nearly a year late) but I watched this a few weeks back and I can't get enough. My favourite character is probably Olaf because he is just so witty, funny and adorable. Isn't that like every kids dream though, that their snowman will come to life? He's just so cute! But remember guys, some people are worth melting for. :')
5. Oversized Coats- I'm a sucker for anything that's oversized but I have been particularly loving the over sized coats that have been in this season. I've particularly been loving the pale blue and pink ones. I don't have one yet but I'm hoping to get one closer to Christmas.
6. Pinterest- I've been really loving Pinterest ATM and have been trying to get into it more. I've made some new boards and there are even some that show sneak peaks of my future blog posts. You could have a look if you want, the link will be below.
7. MaxFactor Eyeshadow- I'm been trying to experiment with my eye makeup recently and begun to LOVE this 'MaxFactor' eyeshadow in shade 'Earth Spirit'. I have no idea how it ended up in my makeup bag or even if this shade is still continued. But I have been absolutely loving this rose gold, slightly glittery miracle.
8. Rimmel Lipstick - And seeing as it's Autumn my dark lipsticks seemed to have snuck back into my makeup bag. My favourite one is Rimmel's dark, red almost purple colour in shade 128-Starry eyed. I usually wear this with a classic cat eye, teaming this with my 50s style glasses completes the modern, retro look.
9. Collection 2000 Concealer- And finally my last favourite is the Collection 2000 concealer which I have been using none stop at the moment. It just gives great coverage; a must have! Although I now may have to repurchase it as the shade that I have now is too dark for my winter complexion.

 

 Thanks for taking the time to read this folks, really appreciate it. Originally, this post was going to be a kind of Autumn-fashion-go-to-outfit type thing but after trying to take photos of my outfit after school with a friend we realised that the pictures were not coming out as good as they would do if it was daytime and so you can have the pleasure of looking forward to that post next week.

All my love,

Leah-Marie xo

Bonfire night

Happy Bonfire night guys, I hope you all had a fantastic night full of sparks, colour and laughter.

 

Originally my family had planned that we would be having fireworks this Saturday and so I wasn't going to post until then but since then we have cancelled it as we have all had such a hectic week. But on Wednesday I did go out onto the green outside our house and watch everyone else's fireworks.

It was honestly quite beautiful. And that's coming from somebody who hates fireworks because of the loud noises- especially the screechy ones! It was a clear night; all the stars were out, it was slightly cold. Cold enough to require those massive cuddly coats we all have and in every direction there were striking, bold sparks filling the night sky. Reds, Blues, Purples, Greens. Beautiful. As I stood there I felt a sort of calmness wash over me. Like I needed them crucial 10 minutes to just stand and breathe. With all the chaos of everyday life don't you ever feel like you need that?

It was a moment I think I will remember forever.

 

My family has arranged that we are going to go to my Brothers house on Saturday to have a Chilli with them. Don't think there'll be fireworks but just being together at this time of year is always great.

 

I hope you had a brilliant evening on Wednesday and that you have a fantastic weekend planned.

My Halloween costume

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

Hi guys, so it's Halloween and I just thought I'd do a post on what I'm going to be dressing up as for the night, where my ideas came from and how to accomplish the look.

I really didn't know what to go as for Halloween and after endless scrolling on the internet of pictures of overly priced costumes that I would only use for one night and pictures of extremely  good makeup, which looked like it had taken hours to master, it was pretty safe to say that I was a bit intimidated. All over the internet it seemed that everyone wanted to have the best costume and look the best, forget out-dressing the host it was more like out-scaring the host. I was racing to calculate how much I could afford to spend on this one-off outfit, at this busy time of year. It was only till I was scrolling through Twitter late one night that I found a picture of what people use to dress up like when the traditions of Halloween started. It was very much use what-ever-you-can-find-and-stick-it-on. But let's face it, it was ten times scarier than todays commercialised costumes. So I decided to stick with a very simple and affordable outfit, no matter what everyone else was going to turn up in.

 As you can see from the picture below I went as a Broken Doll to my friends Halloween party. This look was really affordable as I just used what I had around the house and from previous Halloween costumes.

 

To start off with I got two, knee length odd socks. I then teamed this with a regular black skater skirt. The netting that appears to be on the edge of my skirt is (believe it or not) a small net table cloth that I got from Wilkinson's for a £1 last year. Although I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find something similar lying around the house. This is also what I used to make the bow on my top. I secured the 'netting' to my skirt by 2 safety pins. 

The 'apron' around my middle isn't an apron at all, it just looks like one. In fact it is just an old white t-shirt with fake blood on it, cut out into a semi-circle shape. I have simply tucked this into my skirt as I want to be able to se my skirt again after Halloween, although if you want to go all out, you could sew the 'apron' to our skirt with some white cotton.

I then used another old t-shirt to make the 'collar' on my top. This was the most difficult part of the costume, as I had to get the measurements right. It was quite difficult but if you had somebody's help it would probably help a lot, however good old perseverance never did anyone any harm. The collar I sewed to the neckline of my top-following the hem round.

 

 

 

For my make-up. The only thing I can actually tell you, that will actually be of use to you on this topic is that you should just look on the internet for ideas - I found that Google images and Pinterest were very useful, I'm sure Instagram would be too and maybe heck out some videos on YouTube. I can tell you that the must-have products to create this look is red lipstick, eyeliner, white face paint or very light foundation and grey/black eye shadow. This is the best part about your Halloween costume. Go experiment and have fun with this part. The world is your oyster.

If you think of any ideas as to what I can rename my blog please let me know in the comment below or contact on any other social media; the links will be below.

I'm going on holiday...

On Saturday I am going on holiday to Spain with my family, which I am quite excited about since I haven't been abroad on holiday in 6 years :o

But I'm really ill at the minute so these next few days will be spent getting better and doing all the usual pre-holiday stuff e.g. packing.

When I get back I'll post a 'My holiday in photos' post along with my Halloween outfit. I can't wait.

Hope you have a wonderful week,

Leah-Marie xo

 

Btw I may have internet at the hotel so please take a look at my twitter for updates.

The Ed Sheeran Concert.

Oh my goodness. Can I just put out there that Ed Sheeran is a very talented musician and if any of you ever get the chance to go and see him live then please snatch it with both hands!

 

The day was perfect we set out for Birmingham at about 1 o'clock (I'm going to skip the whole journey there because who wants to hear about what we were talking about and listening to the whole ride there? :L ) 

When we arrived the queue was fairly long, being the clever people we are we bought sandwiches, crisps and jammy doughnuts with us to eat whilst we were waiting. Brilliant idea; helped you to think of something other than how cold you were. It wasn't really that cold it was just the wind that was bitter. If there wasn't any wind then we would have been fine. May I just point out that I also developed a cold on Saturday night/Sunday morning so I wasn't feeling too good. :(

When the Arena doors opened we were directed to the standing area, where we queued again. This was the final queue and the excitement felt at that moment was unexplainable.

The very nice attendants, I think that's what you call them, let us into the actual arena in a single file line, this was a bit of a nightmare as we were in such a wide queue previously. However, I can understand there reasons for doing it; health and safety for example- it would have been crazy letting all those people just run to the front of the arena, there would have been some trampling.

When we finally picked our spot for the night, roughly about 10 rows of people from the front, we sat down to save our leg energy.

And then about an hour later, the support acts started to come on; Jamie Lawson and Saint Raymond. Jamie was first. He is brilliant. He is quite similar to Ed's style of music, so if you like Ed then your bound to like Jamie. He sung this one song called 'I wasn't expecting that' and honestly the song speaks for it's self. I swear my mum is obsessed with that song now, she must have played it 3 times Monday Morning. I'll leave a link to that song on YouTube and to his page below. Saint Raymond reminded me a lot of The 1975. They have the same edge and quirkiness that The 1975 possess. There songs were very catchy and you also found yourself wanting to dance even though you hadn't heard them before. My mum said she thought they were ''very eighties''. Probably because they used a lot of synthesizers.

Now for the big act.

ED SHEERAN EVERYBODY.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. He was so incredibly perfect. He sang the majority of my favourite songs including Tenerife Sea and Thinking Out Loud. He also played an amazing combination of one of his songs and a Backstreet Boy's song. Which my brothers girlfriend loved as she is a huge Backstreet Boys fan. Ed's ability to go from rapping about his life to singing so sweetly the words every girl wants their partner to say is something that needs to be spoke about more. His talent to play the guitar so expertly,  get the crowd wanting him to never leave and appearing very awestruck and down to earth is something of a rare gift amongst worldwide stars- his performance's are something that should be truly cherished. He is one of a kind. I couldn't have asked for a better night.  The backdrop/set of his concert was extraordinary, It consisted of roughly 7 screens. To which different animations and live videos of the concert were shown throughout the show. Accompanied by some well timed lighting. Not at all like some concerts I've gone to where the lights have blinded you every 5 seconds. The entire layout of the lighting and backdrop added to the hypnotising atmosphere. I danced, sang, laughed and cheered the night away. If only it could have gone on for longer. But sadly, the night did have to come to an end sometime.

There is no doubt in my mind that when Ed Sheeran tours again I will be attending. If I could I'd be  back there tonight if it wasn't for this cold.

Anyway, if you haven't listened to Ed's music, first off what have you been listening to lately?! and secondly I will leave a link for you crazy people below.

 

If you'd like to see more posts like this- of when I go to concerts then please leave a comment :)

Get ready with me... Ed Sheeran Concert Edition.

As I mentioned in my last post I am going to see Ed Sheeran this weekend and I thought I'd show you what outfit I've opted for.

I decided to go for plain black skinny jeans. These are one of my favourite pairs of jeans, they are really fitted but extremely comfy at one point it seemed that these were the only jeans I was wearing. These are available from New Look.

 

I then added my look-a-like 'Doc Martens' which are actually made by 'Goldigga'. These are my go-to boots for the winter if I'm wanting to create a grunge look. Originally, they came with black laces but after I so cleverly sucked them p the hoover I had to purchase some new ones and so I bought these striking orange ones. They were from a local shoe shop but I'm pretty sure you can get them at most high-street stores that sell shoes. I picked these to wear for Ed Sheeran as I knew that we were going to go quite early so the comfiest footwear I had would be essential.

 

 

I actually love this t-shirt! I've had it for quite some time now, probably from like the start of the summer but I am still in love with it. Look how cute the likkle kitty is. awwwww. This is like a cross between a crop top and a box t-shirt; it's not quite short enough to call it a crop top but not quite long enough or boxy enough to call it a box t-shirt. And because this is one of my many favourite t-shirts this was obviously the only one I was going to wear to an Ed Sheeran Concert. Plus, don't you think Ed Sheeran's ginger hair just reminds you of a cute lil' tabby cat?

No. Just me?

 

And here's a picture of my sexy fake 'Doc'ers' with my black jeans.

 

I hope you enjoyed this type of post, be sure to stay up-to-date with my blog over the next couple of days as I'll be doing a post of my night at Ed's concert and a holiday post.

Life

Hi guys,

So I just thought I'd let you know what's going on in my life recently. 

 

I have one week left at school until we break up for half term which I can't wait to get to, as I feel like we're doing so much work and homework at the minute that my heads going to explode. I know Welcome to Year 11 right? I've been having a lot of coursework to be doing lately as well as controlled assessments and tests for our data entry which gets sent home to our parents :/ Plus last weekend was my friend's and my Nan's birthday so I had lots of Birthday Celebrations to attend <3

 

This weekend, I am going to be really busy again as I am going to see Ed Sheeran in Concert. I am soooooooooo excited! We're standing as well, which I always thinks adds to the atmosphere and hysteria:) I might even give you a review type post of the concert if I have the time, in between homework.

 

I will also be packing for my holiday as the following week (half term week) I will be going to Spain with my family. I'm quite excited about going away abroad on holiday, however I am a bit anxious about it all as I haven't been abroad since I was quite little. I'm hoping to take some beautiful photos for you to admire when I get back along with all the goss' about my time in Spain.

 

Tomorrow I'm going to do a post for you guys, so please look forward to that.

 

Can I please just thank anyone who takes the time to read this blog, whether it's just this one post or everyone I do, it really means a lot to me. So please keep telling your friends about my blog and spreading the word of my little space in the internet world.

My Favorite Autumn Outfit

Seeing as though it's my favourite season I thought I'd share with you what I'm loving to wear in these chilly months. The look below is smart casual and is very easy to dress up or down. In the pictures I have obviously gone for a casual look and I would probably wear this when going to do a bit of shopping or if I'm going out with my friends.

 

 

I really like this outfit as it's perfect for those days when it's sweater weather in the morning but by mid day your needing a trusty t-shirt. And if you still wanted to go with this style but wanted to keep a little warmer you could add, thicker tights, a parka and a cute beanie. Don't be scared to layer this outfit up!

 

I really enjoyed making this post, if you want to see more posts like this; more photos then please drop me  comment below :) On Sunday this week I'm going to see Ed Sheeran Live so expect a post from me on Monday or Tuesday telling you all about my what-I-hope-to-be amazing night
