Victoria's Secret Treats

For my 17th Birthday which was waaaaaaay back in August, Jack bought me lots of lovely presents. A few of them included two lovely Victoria's Secret make up bags and a Victoria's Secret Roller Ball Perfume.

If you know me well, you will know that I am absolutely obsessed with Victoria's Secret and love all of their products, so you can probably guess that I was extremely pleased with these gifts.

The larger make up bag I use for if I'm going away for a day or two and need quite a lot of make up and toiletries. It makes it easy for travelling too because as it is see-through at the front, I can easily check if I've forgotten something!

The smaller make up bag I try to keep for very special occasions as I don't want it getting ruined. I would take it with me if I was going on a special day out and would pack in it all of the make up needed for the day's touch ups!

Finally, the perfume is so perfect as it is very compact and I am really loving roller ball perfumes at the minute. The perfume is a really light and playful scent which is so lovely!

Back to School (Two Months Later...)

As I've been back to school for nearly two months now (very overdue blog post), I thought I would share with you what all I would bring to school on a daily basis!

My school bag is a black Ted Baker bag. You can find it here, however the bow is a slightly different colour!

My bag is from Creative Gardens and it was only £9, I really like the spotty pattern.

My file is from Eason.

As you can see, my pencil case is from Paperchase and this is where I get my pencil case from every year! Click here to check out their website, as I think that they have the sweetest stationary ever!

I have an obsession with Oxford Paper as it is so so nice! If you highlight or write really heavily on the page, you can write on the other side of the page too! I normally would only write on one side of the page on any other file paper but on Oxford I would use both sides. I got these ring binders for £2 each on offer in Tesco. Always shop around before you buy them as there is nearly always an offer on them somewhere!

This is just some of the stationary that I tend to use. My highlighters are very bright as I like making my word super colourful!

Let me know via my blog, Twitter or Instagram if you want me to do a "What's in my schoolbag" blog post or anything similar to that!

Love you all,

Ellen xo

Gifts from Greece

Hello everyone!

So my lovely boyfriend has just returned from a family holiday in Greece and I just thought I would share with you what he bought be because I genuinely love every present I was bought and I am so so grateful!

The first presents I opened were five cute wee bracelets all in my favourite colours. They were so adorable and I was so happy with them because I love bracelets and jewellery. With the bracelets, I also opened a keyring with the letter "E" on it and a little ball saying "Rhodes" with the Greek flag.

I then opened a massive bag of jelly sweets that also said "Rhodes" on them, and they are super tasty!

The final thing in that bag that I opened were two bars of Greek Olive Oil Soap and the packaging was just so lovely and one bar of soap had a key ring attached and the other had a magnet attached. The soaps smelt so good too! I can't wait to use them!

My boyfriend then pulled out a Sephora shopping bag and the first thing I saw in it was a handbag (although it wasn't from Sephora). I looked at it in closer detail and found out that it was a Mulberry bag and inside there was a matching Mulberry purse! I got super super excited because while he was away, I had been looking for a new bag but now I don't need to buy one!

The final two things that I opened were from Sephora. One was a beautiful nail polish which was a luminous violet colour in the shade Dirty Groove. The other item from Sephora was a beautiful make up palette. This palette contains four blushes, two bronzers, twelve shades of lipglosses, three cream eyeliners and thirty three different shades of eyeshadows which are both matte and shimmery. What I absolutely love about this palette is that all of the items are so highly pigmented so you can create some very dramatic looks!

A Day In... Belfast

Hello lovelies!

Today I have had a very busy day! I went up to Belfast with my mum and my sisters just to have a look around, not really with the intention of buying anything.

But as always, I bought a few things!

The outfit that I wore today was a light pink top with fluorescent pink lace and it was from Miss Selfridge. This top was £20 and it was definitely worth the money! You can find the exact top here, although the lace is a lot brighter in real life!
With this top, I wore my Topshop Joni Jeans in white. The link to these are here. They are definitely worth £36 as they are perfect for summer! They are also very comfy.

I paired this outfit with my go to River Island gladiator sandals. I actually can't remember how much they are and unfortunately can no longer find the link to them!

I brought along with me my new Mulberry bag which my boyfriend bought me!

I first went to Zara and bought a beautiful pair of jeggings which will be really handy for the rest of summer and also when I go away in September. I really love the shade of denim! They were so well priced at £19.99 which is half the price of Topshop and I think that the quality is just as good!

I also saw a beautiful bag in Zara for £39.99 which I fell in love with but I knew I didn't need it because I just got a new bag last week.

I then went to House of Fraser and went to Paperchase and picked out a few pieces that I'm going to buy before going back to school, but I decided I would purchase them in August when it's closer to school - I also didn't want to be carrying too much around with me because it was super warm!

I then went to Ted Baker and bought the most beautiful bag. It was £39 and will definitely come in handy. I've had a Ted Baker bag before in a similar style and it served me very well! You can order one yourself on here. I bought the bag in black.

I went to Topshop and unfortunately didn't really see anything I wanted but the nail polish stand really impressed me! I definitely will return soon to pick out one of their matte colours!

As I was very tired from being shopping, my mum ordered us all a Domino's pizza which we really enjoyed! The two for Tuesday's offer is so brilliant!

I then bathed my dogs and had a lot of fun taking cute little photos of them!

Candy.

Jasper.

Later that evening my family and I took a trip to our local Costa coffee. It was super super warm today so I decided to cool off with an iced lemonade which was sooo nice!

I then came home and relaxed. I decided to treat myself to a facial mask and I will be reviewing this specific one in a blog post coming up soon so keep an eye out!

Hope you enjoyed what I got up to today,

Love Ellen xo
