Baby Sized Space NK Haul

As mentioned in my previous post, I went on a little shopping tripping last weekend and visited what can only be described as heaven on earth for all make up lovers, yes, I'm talking about Space NK. For ages I've also had my eyes on the Nars Orgasm blush and when I saw the Nars stand in Space NK I just knew I wasn't going to be coming out of there empty handed. I of course brought the beautiful blusher in the most perfect summery shade and also was persuaded to buy myself the dreamy match lip gloss in Super Orgasm which works perfectly with a light shimmery summer make up look.



As always, let me know what you think and whether you'd plunge into the Nars Orgasm?! Tweet me or follow me on Instagram - @ellie_christmas!

The Weekend Edit

Some of my earliest childhood memories are in Guildford, visiting my great grandparents and spending time with family. For those of you who don't know where Guildford is, it's an English city just outside of London or as my grandpa calls it "The Mini London" and rightly so. Shopping wise Guildford has everything from Primark to Urban Outfitters to Anthropologie to Space NK and Jo Malone. Obviously I took advantage of all of these shops being in one area and brought myself lots of treats (which will we be up in more posts soon!). Guildford also has lots of different restaurants from TGI Fridays to Wagamama's to Bills which just so happens to be my favourite place to eat. I spent the day shopping with my parents and exploring the beautiful city and taking in the traditional English architecture. I then spent the afternoon at an area called Frensham Ponds which is a lake with a little beachy area just relaxing and soaking up the sunshine after a hard days shopping. 


I hope you all enjoyed this post, something a little different so that you all can go out and hopefully explore the beautiful English "Mini London" and enjoy the shops, restaurants and architecture.

Boyish OOTD

So I think of myself as a girly Tomboy, I'm not someone who will wear dresses all day every day, I'll always choose jeans over anything else. This outfit of the day consisted of my favourite jeans from New Look with a baggy Celine t-shirt which, yes, I'll admit, it's fake from a market stall in Camden but who cares?! I then also dug out a pair of floral print vans from my wardrobe which I totally forgot I had from last summer and wore them to add a bit of a pop of colour to my outfit. 
I hope you enjoyed this outfit, it's something a bit different to what I normally post, as always, let me know what you think via my Twitter and Instagram @ellie_christmas

Floral outfit of the night

So I seem to have neglected my blog a little bit recently?! I thought I'd ease myself back into blogging with a quick, easy outfit of the night post, I worse this for a meal out with my family and I thought it was just the right amount of casual/smart wear for an evening. I wore some simple black skinny jeans from Asos, with a floral shirt also from Asos. My shoes were some black flatforms that I got from Next last summer and I love wearing them because they're just the right height for me as I'm ever so tall and the add just a little bit of elegance to my outfit. I am also IN LOVE with my new clutch bag from Zara which came from a handbag I brought in a sale. For my make up I went with a pink subtle eye using my naked pallet and winged liner and a new Dior Lip Gloss in the shade Mirage which is a beautiful natural nude colour. To finish off my look I went for simple white nails using the Essie nail varnish in Blanc.
