Tennent's Vital 2014 OOTD

If you read my Twitter or follow me on Instagram, you will know that over the summer I went to see David Guetta and Steve Angello play at Tennent's Vital 2014. With all the hype of summer, I completely forgot that I didn't write a blog post on it, so instead I'm just going to do a quick OOTD of what I wore that afternoon/night. It was a veryyyyyy long day!

I really apologise for the horrendously bad quality of this photo but it's the only way it would save!

Top: Topshop

Shorts: Miss Selfridge

Zippy: Hollister

Shoes: Vans

You probably can't tell, but I wore a pair of cream frilly socks to match the frills on my top and shorts!

Hope you enjoy!

Love Ellen xo

GCSE Results

This is very overdue but here it goes...

On the 21st August I collected my GCSE results from school. It was so so scary going down to school as some people were overjoyed with their results yet some were left a little disappointed.

I opened my results in the car with my mum and Rebecca, and then I rang my dad, Katie and my auntie. I was really happy with the results I got so we went out to a local cafe to celebrate where I got a yummy hot chocolate! There were so many girls from my school also there out celebrating with their families too.

I then went home and had lunch then headed out to The Courtyard which is another local coffee shop with a beauty bar above. I got another yummy hot chocolate - oopsies. I met my best friend Aimee there too and had a long chat with her!

Later on that day I met Jack in Starbucks and we both had a mango passionfruit and had a quick wee look around the shops and discussed our results.

I then went for dinner in the Cultra Inn which is right beside the Culloden where The Killers were staying that night so I got a chance to have a sneak peak at them too!

One of the guys from the Killers haha!

That evening, my best friend Amanda had a party which was so so great. It was lovely to gather with all of my friends and have a really great night!

Skirt: River Island

Shoes: River Island

I also was wearing the Cheryl Cole Eylure lashes which I love!

I hope you enjoy, however this may be a little over due haha!

Much love,

The Day Before...

Hi all,

Today is the 20th August and tomorrow I have to make the journey at 9am to school to collect my GCSE results. I had been so so calm about my results and had the attitude that "I can't change it now" until this morning. I am now so so petrified and nervous my hands are shaking typing this right now.

I'm really anxious to find out what the day is going to unfold like. I'm planning just to collect my results from school and take them to my car where my mum and sister will be and open them with them. I'll then ring my dad and tell him my results and then my auntie too.

My boyfriend Jack is also getting his results too so I will also phone or text him in the morning. Ahhh this is all so nerve wracking to think of it! The one part of results that I'm most scared about is getting bombarded with texts from people asking how I've done, so I'm just praying that it won't happen.

I'm excited because in the evening we're having a party at my best friend Amanda's house so even if I do well or not as well as expected, it's definitely going to be a great night and it's good to be surrounded by your friends at times like this.

Basically this post helped me get everything sorted in my head and has helped me to calm down a bit. I'll maybe write a blog post in a couple of days explaining what all went down on results day, maybe not necessarily my results but hopefully I'll get some good photos at the party!

See y'all soon,
Ellen xo

7TEEN

Hey guys!

So on the 14th August I turned 17 and I had such a great birthday! The day began with me opening my presents! I'm actually writing separate blog posts on some of the presents I got which is why they won't be included in this blog! I also opened all of my cards!

I got a big 17 birthday badge which was massive! I was far far too embarrassed to wear it out!

My sisters and I went with my mum and my auntie to the Coffee Yard where us three got hot chocolates. Unfortunately my dad was working - boo!

My birthday outfit consisted of this blue Jack Wills shirt which only arrived in the post on the morning of my birthday - convenient!

I wore my Jack Wills coat with it as it was horrible weather! This coat is super comfy and super warm!

I also wore my Topshop white skinny jeans which I love.

When I came home from being out for coffee, I met Jack and the two of us went up to Belfast on the train. We did a bit of shopping (will appear in future blog posts) and then went for dinner in Chiquito. We got popcorn for starters which was pretty random! 

I thought that the door to the bathroom was pretty cute.

Although it was a Mexican restaurant, all I wanted was a massive burger! It was delicious.

Jack then took me to the cinema to see a movie that we both really wanted to see!

We ate some Randoms which were sweet n sour flavour. I wasn't too sure if I was going to like them but I ended up loving them!

The movie we went to see was the Inbetweeners 2. We had both watched all the episodes and the first movie so we were really excited when the second one was released. Although I think that the first movie was a lot better than the second - but it still was very funny though!

I also had a big massive chocolate cake to eat and it was just perfect!

Once Jack and I came home from Belfast we went to his house where I opened the presents from him and his family which were all so generous. We spent the rest of the night chilling together.

To conclude, my birthday was such a blast. My presents were so cute and I appreciate them all so so much! There will be individual blog posts up soon where I will group together a few of my presents and talk about them individually so look out for them soon!

I hope you enjoyed knowing what I got up to on my birthday!

Love y'all,

Update

Hey guys,

This is another quick update post and I thought I would let you all know really quickly that I have reached the most views so far on my blog and have exceeded my past record by quite a bit and the day is only half over! This is so so exciting and I would like to thank you all for your support, and your views, and your lovely comments and your follows on Bloglovin. It really means a lot to me that people are supporting me in something that I love doing!

Today I have spent relaxing, watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians and also writing a lot more blog posts that will be posted again soon!

I am actually heading to a birthday party tonight and I'm really hoping to try and get a few snaps there that I can upload and share with you all, however it might not be possible as I'm going to be very very late as I have hockey before - boo!

One other piece of info that I would like to share with you all is that I received an e-mail late last night and I have been given a very exciting opportunity that you will hear a lot more of towards the end of the month, but for the meantime that is all I'm going to say!

So please keep a look out for what new stuff will be happening about here.

Love you all,
Ellen xo
