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!

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,

Summer Bracelets

Hello!

So every summer, I gather a little collection of bracelets that I would wear nearly every day of summer. They are all very casual bracelets and if I were to go out for dinner in the evening, I would probably change my jewellery to something a bit fancier. I kind of just decided to share what my summer bracelet collection looks like this year and a few combinations I've been enjoying!

This first bracelet was a gift from my boyfriend and he actually bought me it before summer. This is one of my favourite bracelets and I will definitely continue to wear it after summer, I would also wear this bracelet with a dressy outfit too.

I absolutely love this bracelet and I hadn't worn it much of summer but I definitely will be now! My boyfriend Jack also bought me this bracelet from his holiday from Greece.

I bought this bracelet myself when I was on holiday in Majorca and I'm pretty positive that it was two or three euros. I have a necklace which matches this which will probably feature in my blog soon.

This is another of my favourites. This bracelet was only one euro!!! I got it again whilst I was away in Majorca and I couldn't believe how cheap it was! I thought it looked like something from Accessorize that you would pay at least £10 for! What a bargain!

This bracelet, if you do not know, is a loom bracelet. This is definitely the latest craze for all young children so I decided to buy myself a packet of them and teach myself how to make a bracelet. I really love the colour combination of white, blue, pink and purple!

This bracelet has faded a lot which is really sad because I love it. It is basically one of the typical holiday threaded bracelets but it was multi coloured but as I was in the pool so much and I didn't take it off my whole holiday, it has slightly faded which is so upsetting. It was also super cheap though.

This is another of my favourites as Jack bought me it from Greece. It is one big bracelet that goes around your wrist three times. It's so so pretty and I love it a lot.

Here is one combination of bracelets I like to wear (I obviously don't wear all of my bracelets at once). I really love the pink and blue in this one.

Another combination that I love. The blue bracelet is actually magnetic so it is so easy to get on and off quickly.

And this is the final combination that I am loving. The big spirally bracelet is just so vibrant and pretty.

I am putting all of my bracelets in this little basket where I used to keep my nail polishes but they have been relocated for the meantime. A lot of my bracelets are scattered around my room so a lot of them are missing from the basket!

I hope you all enjoyed this,

Love Ellen xo

A Weekend at... The Giant's Causeway

Hello lovelies!

Last weekend I went on a family get-away to the beautiful Giant's Causeway, which is only a 1-2 hour drive from where I live! We've done it every summer for around ten years and it is just so refreshing!

I took a lot of pictures so I could take you through what we did throughout the weekend!

After our car journey, we stopped at a lovely place called Ballintoy for lunch.

I wore my Jack Wills Skinny Sweats and my navy Hollister flip flops - so comfy!

Ballintoy was such a pretty little place.

Katie and I taking a selfie. 

We both were wearing Abercrombie zippy's and Jack Wills gilets.

We then travelled to the Giant's Causeway and walked down to the famous stones.

The hotel from the outside where we would later be inside for our dinner.

After a long walk, I decided to treat myself to hot chocolate and a bun!

We went to the Ground Espresso Bar in Bushmills.

The coffee shop building used to be a bank so the vault door was still there, so we ate inside the old vault!

After being out all afternoon, I decided to redo my makeup for the evening.

I realised I wanted more coverage than just BB Cream and I forgot my foundation.

Luckily there was a Chanel sample in my magazine!

Katie and I at dinner.

My dress is from Jack Wills and I love it so much!

Auntie Linda and I.

Thought that this looked super cute!

I wore matching Jack Wills flip flops to dinner.

I got an extremely unhealthy but tasty burger and chips!

We spent the night in Barry's Amusement's on the 2p machines and winning tickets!

Having lots of fun!

The Big Dipper (the sign wasn't broken - it was flashing).

Got a few treats with the tickets we won!

Then to finish the night in bed with a big glass of milk and a chocolate bar!

The next morning was bad weather - boo!

We spent the morning in the same coffee shop as yesterday, waiting for the weather to pick up.

I wasn't that hungry after having a large Ulster Fry, so I went with a bag of popcorn and coke.

The view of the Causeway from high up.

The numerous steps down to the Causeway.

For my lunch, I had a lovely bacon buttie and a glass of coke.

We had our lunch in a beautiful place in Bushmills called the Copper Kettle.

A chandelier made from glasses.

We went for dinner in Morelli's and my sister got an incredible ice-cream for dessert!

We went to the Donut Tree to get some treats!

Some sweeties for the journey home.

Some more - oopsies!

The final view before leaving this beautiful place.

I hope you all enjoyed getting a little insight to my weekend. This must have been the most I've eaten in one weekend and I feel super unhealthy now but I am going for a pre season fitness session tomorrow night so hopefully that will make up for it!!

See you all soon, 

Ellen xo
