August Wishlist

Hello! 

I know that it is part way through the month already but here are some of the things I have been mouthwatering lusting over for the last of the summer. 


Combat boots- These beautiful shoes are from forever 21, which is a site I don't usually go on, as I find it so hard to navigate because there is so many products meaning that I give up after a few pages, however when I was looking for some new autumn boots these caught my eye, they have the simplicity I was after and are ridiculously cheap! 

Shorts- These shorts are a stunning acid wash which is to die for, they are high waisted and a perfect colour for the end of summer, these beauties will carry you through into autumn as the denim isn't too light... plus they just look mint. 

Jumper- Okay, this jumper just screams my name, I mean lemon yellow (favourite colour/summery shade) and a lace hem- what's not to love?

Oxfords- Aren't these just the cutest shoes ever?! They are kind of outgoing but I think paired with a white lace skater dress it would make such a lovely summer outfit- only issue is the $148 dollar price tag, aka keep dreaming Emeli! 

Ear cuffs- These are from asos and are a little steep for some earrings, but they look so classy and can be worn in any season.

Collar- Silver? Check. Spikes? Check. Love? Yes. 

Hope you are enjoying your summer. Love Emeli x

Dream Topshop Outfit

Hey lovelies!

Imagine if you had unlimited money to spend in Topshop to create any outfit of your choice... it would be heaven! With that in mind I have created an outfit where all the items are from Topshops Online store. 


In my dream outfit I have tried to stick to three main colours, these being white, gold and pink. As I was browsing through the website I came across this adorable marshmallow midi skirt and instantly fell in love, obviously it's a very daring skirt so I made the rest of the outfit quite classy and elegant. By using these pale colours it makes the outfit very summery and versatile. I feel that the white top with it's detailed rose gold and yellow gold collar set the theme for the rest of the outfit, I feel the metallic trend would look lovely paired with the skirt so I added rose gold sling back pumps, a gold cat ring (so cute!) and a gold chain detailed clutch. This outfit is quite pricey however I think it would be lovely for a ladies day, the races or even a wedding!

What would your perfect outfit be?

July Wishlist


I know it's a little late but these are the things I'm lusting over for July. I love the colour block bag and I think it just screams summer, I'm looking for a new pale bag, but I like this one as it has a pop of pink. I think this white and pink sarong from Topshop is lovely as it can be both a scarf or a dress. Shoes, what can I say they are gorgeous Jeffrey Campbell's they can be such a classy yet subtle addition to an outfit. The pale mint green Essie polish looks to fresh, so I think I may have to give in and buy it!

What are you lusting over this summer?

St Michaels Mount* Cornwall

Hellooooo!

Long time no see, because of exams, trips and just general dilemmas blogging has taken a back seat in my life theses last months, as my personal life does come first. On another note how lush has this recent weather been?! I'm in love, it's so rare that you can walk outside with a skirt with no tights and just a vest top without getting odd looks!It's been lovely hanging out with my friends at the river or gong for meals or anything in this sunshine, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. 

So onto the post, I recently went to Cornwall with my Mum and sister and my favourite place to visit is St Michaels mount, basically you get a boat to a little island with a few shops,cafés and a castle. Being the rebels that we are myself and my family wanted to walk back through the sea, as it usually has a pathway, but the tide wasn't in so we just walked straight through the sea because yolo. ;)

Here's so photos from throughout the day;




















Sorry for the photo heavy post! It was kind of wet but humid on the day I visited as my hair is a frizzy mess! If you go to cornwall this summer do go check it out it is such a lovely little place and is well worth the visit!

Collective Fashion Haul- YouTube

Hey Lovelies! 
It's been forever since I last posted but I did have an excuse, as I've been busy with exams and therefore have been to tired to than do posts! This week is mock week, so I have exams but they don't really count! Instead of doing the average post, I've decided to do a YouTube fashion haul It's a little different, but I hope you like it, if so please describe and tell me if you would like me to do more things such as YouTube videos!
This was filmed a few weeks ago so I have bought quite a big more since filming it, so I may do a separate post? Over the next few weeks posts may be less frequent as I have quite a lot on and I wont always be near a computer! So bare with me!





Thanks for watching!

May Wishlist

1/2/3/4/5/6


Just a few items I'm really wanting this month, I'm really falling for the white trend, I have always adored all clothes which are white, but there is so many lovely piece in at the moment, including this beautiful white spiked rucksack. I have recently been wearing loads of nail polishes and doing nail art so this nail polish would be lovely. The rest of the items will be perfect for the summer months or warmer days (fingers crossed).

What have you been lusting over recently? Do you like many items on this wishlist?

First Outfit Post

Helloo! 

This is something a little different, I though I would share an recent outfit with you, it's nothing special, just an outfit I wore to town, haha.





Shirt, Cardi and Jeans- all Primark/Shoes- Dorothy Perkins/collar tips- ebay.

As always I apologise for my terrible camera skills, I still need to have a mess around with it to get the focus right and everything! 
It's quite odd because the top, cardi and jeans are all from primark, I don't actually own much from primark so it's unusual that it's based on one outfit! I love this shirt so much, I'm not a big fan of blue and green patterns but I think it looks great on this shirt!
This was such a basic outfit,but I love how its slowly adding more colour into my wardrobe for summer! I can't wait for the summer holidays, no school woo! 

Hope you enjoy your weekend, Emeli x

Sunday Summary #07

Hello lovely people,
Ah it's been a hard week! I'm so tired and this weekend has just flown by *cry*. Last week I had four exams so I was revising like crazy for, biology, chemistry, physics and history. So my week could have been better but I got through them all! On Friday morning I went and taught years 4 and 5 netball, I had ups and downs throughout the day but at least it's over and done with now! Yesterday me and my mum went on a really long bike ride and my legs are half sore today! Today I got the most beautiful dress from the brand 'Tokyo Doll', I lurvveeeee it! 


Tomorrow I have a French controlled assessment, so I hope that goes well haha! All I want to do now is sleep! Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend!

WANT; Outfit

Hello lovelies, I thought I would do a bit of a different post today and do an outfit collage. I saw this dress the other day on the Topshop website and new straight away I needed it! Sadly the bank balance at the moment aint great so I have to wait a bit longer for it! 


I just love the pattern of the dress, but how the simple colours don't make it so in your face. The shoes, I've wanted some small white platforms for a while now, but I don't think I can justify the price as I don't know if I would wear them much? Mac, I love this colour I really want to get a mac lipstick but I've never got round to getting one, I think this colour would look great with the dress as it's quite subtle. Clutch, its a great size and would go with loads of things! The pull over is so lovely and would look great with a crop top and shorts in the summer! The necklace would make the dress look a bit more glammed up, it's not got too much chunky gold which I love! Nars blusher in orgasm, if I could I would buy this, I've heard quite a lot of reviews of it and people say it's great but for over £20, I don't now if it would be worth it...

I hope you like the outfit I've put together!
Hope your all having a lovely weekend!

Small Haul


Pj bottoms £6/ Pink floral briefs £1.70/ Green spot briefs £1 all Primark


Seventeen Magazine £2.75

Delilah Dust £4 (sale)

Shirt Primark £10

Tee Topshop £14



Hello lovely people!
This is what I bought a couple of weeks ago, I went to Newcastle to go to Primark because when I read all your lovely blogs I see some lovely things but they are never in stock when I go. Boo. My favourite thing was the Primark flower shirt, I love shirts but because I'm bust heavy I can never find a good fit, but this is great it's a swing shirt and looks lovely on! And for £10 who's complaining?! The Topshop tee is great it's so casual but the triangle animal prints a really nice, I'm not that much into the cheetah print thing but I do love this tee, and I think it's quite cheap for Topshop, the only this I don't like is that it's not as oversized as I would have wanted! The briefs and pj's are just little cheap investments, but I gotta said they are all so soft and comfortable I wish I had picked some more up! The necklaceeee.. I love it!! It's got a slightly yellowy gold chain which I would usually hate however it looks gorge with the turquoise, I just love how dainty it is! Seventeen mag is an american magazine but it had Hannah from Pretty Little liars on and I've watched all of series 3 so I loved reading her interview, it was a good read, but all the clothes were from american sites which I expected but everything was so so nice! 

So here's what I've bought recently! Have you go anything nice recently, comment with the link! I love seeing hauls!:)

April Wishlist

top/skirt/shoes/daisy/earrings/dress

Aw doesn't this wishlist look bright and cheerful?!:) I love summer clothes as you have an excuse to wear lovely bright colours, which if you do when it's cold people give you odd looks, well from my experience!

So these are some items I'm lusting over at the moment, I love the topshop crop as I love the colours but I also love anything with a triangle print! The pinafore skirt is just lush. The shoessss, of course I will never afford them but a girl can dream right? I've wanted Marc Jacobs daisy for years but I can never justify the price, but the summer or sunshine addition looks lovely! The earrings are from kukee and are so affordable, I love how dainty they are but how cute they would look on! Omg, this dress from topshop is to die for, I love the tie dye of neon like colours and would look perfect with a pair of my shoes!

Sorry for being so hyper over my wishlist I just love it all so much! What have you been lusting over?

Sunday Summary #06

Hello lovelies! 
This week I haven't much to say really, because of being ill most of the week I haven't been out much, or if I have it's only been to town so I haven't much exciting to share with you...
On Tuesday I had a trip up to Newcastle to go shopping with my sister, I didn't buy much but I will share what I did buy with you in an other post. after hitting my favourite shops I went to see my Grandma, which I found quite difficult as I was feeling very dizzy so I went to sit in the car for a bit. Afterwards I nipped to Tesco then went home. Friday I feel quite a lot better so I went out with my Mother we had a hot chocolate and muffin in costa, then had a look in the little town boutiques. This weekend has been really chilled and because the weathers been lovely I went for an early bike ride this morning and sat in the garden :)  

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! 

I've updated my shop so I hope you all check it out here, there's a good few bargains!:)

Skincare Haul

Hello Lovelies, I'm very sorry that I haven't been blogging or even doing a Sunday summary over the last week or so! I had been feeling unwell for a while but put it off, however by Easter Sunday I felt like death so me and my Mother went to hospital and I found out I had been struck down by a bad virus, I was given some tablets and was aloud to go after a few hours, but I'm still not 100%, I'm feeling much better though, even if I have wasted like half of my Easter holidays!:( 
On with the post, over the last couple of weeks I have had a huge skincare haul, which for me is really odd, I love messing around with make-up and I wear it most days, but I would much rather spend the big bucks on clothes than skincare. However my skin suffers badly and I get bad break outs as I just don't care for my skin! I went into boots to get so new foundation when my mum got talking to a No7 worker who said she would do the colour match foundation thing for me, although she did my whole face with skincare products! This is what I bought;

All purchased from boots with my own money

No7 Beautiful skin Cleansing Lotion £9.00- This amazing lotion just melts away all the make-up on your face leaving it clean and refreshed. Its formula works well to hydrate your skin, it's great as it's an all in one product!

No7 Beautiful skin Day cream £12.50- I have been using this every morning and every night and before make-up, it has really helped soften my skin and has reduced break outs massively! 

No7 stay perfect primer £12.50- This little bottle helps keep make-up on for longer, it also helps make-up move more freely around your face!

No7 Stay perfect liquid foundation £14.00- After using the colour match machine I was told my shade was cool vanilla which has quite a light pinky coverage, this foundation is matt and has a medium coverage lasting up to 16 hours, I love this, I have always just got the cheapest on offer foundation and was always an orangey colour! So this was a perfect alternative!

After using Johnston's make-up remover pads and niveas cleanser and toner also my skin is looking so much better and I now take much better care and you really do see results! 

What skincare do you use?

Sunday Summary #05

Hey lovelies!
I've got two post lined up for you, but they won't upland for some reason, but I'm going to try again tomorrow and hope they upload, there a little different to my usual posts, so if you are interested in beauty keep an eye open for my upcoming posts!

This week has been very stressful and draining! But I've actually had a good week, Monday has to have been the most boring day ever, I had a stressful start because my presentation for English went wrong because of a group member but I'm doing it again tomorrow and I'm shaking in my boots, I get very nervous when I haven't planned what to say! On Tuesday I went to Durham with my Philosophy and Ethics class for an lecture at the university, I think I've learned quite a bit however it was so intense and I was getting all confused because the breaks weren't very long! Wednesday... I really can't remember anything haha, so it can't have been the good or bad! Thursday, is usually my favourite day of my timetable week, but it has the hardest lessons, but I have the best classes my friends are literally the best and the make double history bearable! Friday, it snowed, weather by you so bipolar?! aha, I just want summer! I'm sick of all my black and dark clothes I want bright floral dresses back! 
This weekend I decided I really needed to get a grip of my school work I have four GCSE exams in 8 weeks and I'm so scared and I'm getting so stressed, I'm really behind with school because I'm always doing things like the musical and trips so I miss lessons! But I got distracted this weekend and have left it all to last minute, I have written an history essay in two hours and I know it's not good enough, however I've written a revision plan for the holidays so if I keep to it everything will be fine! *fingers crossed* 



^^ A picture of me ready for school on monday, ergh its such bad quality! haha!
Sorry for being so gloomy, I'll be cheerful soon as one more week then I have two weeks of! YEY! haha!
How are you all? Emeli x

March Wishlist


I'm really loving Zara at the moment, a lot of their items are so simple but I just love the quality of the products. I'm sure you will have seen this cat watch, it's from Ever-ours  it's such a lovely little online shop, but everything's so cheap I would recommend you check it out and see if you find anything you fancy! Everything else I have been lusting over for a while, but I've already spent all my money this month, so I will have to keep dreaming haha!

Sunday Summary #4

Hello Lovelies!
I haven't done a proper blog post since the end of February, but I have still been reading everyone else's blogs! You may have realised that this weekend I have changed a few things around on my blog, I felt like it was plain and boring. I like to keep my blog design quite simple, so I've just added a bit of blue here and there, and a photo, however I really like it! 

So I haven't been blogging because I've been busy with the school musical, the rehearsals were so draining and we had to go to school on mothering Sunday which wasn't really ideal, but we all go through it and performed the three nights well, even if the last night had a few hiccups it was a great experience and I have meet some lovely people throughout it! 

So other than that I have been really ill all week! Boo, I had completely lost my voice for the first part of the week and I was wondering if I would even be able to do the performances! Monday I was off school so I didn't talk all day, Tuesday I had to catch up on so much, so I was so tired  Wednesday was a full day rehearsal it went by so quickly though! Then there was a performance for the rest of the week! I'm still feeling quite ill but I'm getting through it, yesterday I just went to town and finally bought a skater skirt woo! Then today I'm just looking at a pile of homework thinking I best crack on with it!

I'm in the blue :)

How have you been? Anyone else been ill recently? 
Lot's of new posts lined up for you all!:)

Just a note to say...

Hello lovelies, I would just lie to say a quick apology, sadly I haven't been able to post recently because I'm so busy rehearsing for the musical, then the rest of my time is spent doing homework, it's not the best situation! This will continue till the end of next week *sob* but after that posts will resume as usual, and I have loads of great things to share with you! However for the time being I'm singing and dancing (terribly) haha! Well I better crack on with the rest of my geography homework- yey! So keep an eye out for posts in the next few weeks!Labels

Thank you Emeli! x
