My favourite youtubers.

 Since youtubers were my inspiration to join the blogging community I thought I'd share with you which beauty/fashion youtubers I love to watch and why.
 
1. Zoella- Zoella was the first youtuber I began to watch. I instantly loved her videos and how she isn't always serious in her videos. She has a laugh and seems like a completely normal and down to earth person who you could get along with really easily. Plus, you can tell that she really loves her job and is very passionate about it. I can't wait to purchase something from the Zoella beauty range and to read her new book.
 
 
2. Velvetgh0st- Gabby, she's crazy, funny, talented and beautiful. Gabby also seems like a person who you could get along with very easily and she is definitely one of the people who I would like to meet. I love Gabby's sense of style and she is like the only youtuber that I have found that also doesn't like the smell of Soap and Glory's 'Sugar Crush'.
 
 
3. Inthefrow- I absolutely loveeeee Victoria's hair, it is so pretty. I wish I could dye my hair pastel shades but school is super strict about hair dye. Plus, I don't think it would suit me as I have really dark hair. I have only recently discovered Inthefrow but it absolutely love her videos and I really like her layout/theme for her YouTube and blog.
 
4. Sprinkleofglitter- Chummy. How can you not love Louise's videos, especially when baby glitter makes an appearance. I particularly love louise's  love of just chatting at the camera and her collabs with Zoella as them two together is like tweedle dum and tweedle dee.
 
 
5. Tanya Burr- Firstly, aren't Tanya and Jim like the cutest people ever??! :) Tanya's channel is one of my favourites because I think she does the best make-up tutorials and looks. She is brilliant and her 'get ready with me' videos are the best, Plus, we have the same glasses :)
 
 
6. Katie Joslin- Katie is a youtuber that is just starting out. I only found out about her as she followed me on twitter, so I checked out her channel. I think she is brilliant at making videos and could really go on to be quite a big youtuber if she keeps on. I love her lookbooks and her videos where she just sits down and chats at the camera.

 
If you want to check out any of these youtubers the links will be below and if you think of any youtubers that you think I might like  then please leave me a comment below. I'd love to here from you and hear what you think.

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.
