I thought I'd do something different today. I mean sometimes it's a bit too much pressure doing blogmas/vlogmas and sometimes I feel like my content isn't exactly what I want it to be. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to post just for the sake of it. So today, I really wanted to talk about something that I have a little bit of trouble with. Treating yourself.

I bought some make up the other day from Chanel. Now I've never owned anything from Chanel if I'm completely honest and I felt like I hadn't bought myself anything in ages. So I took the plunge, and after trying some out a few days before at the counter, I decided to buy some products for myself.

I got the bronze universal and also a blush. This blog post isn't really about what I bought though, it's more of an expression of how I feel when I buy myself things. I guess I feel kind of guilty.. Having said that though, I'm trying to learn that we all work hard and if you don't treat yourself, then what's the point? So it's okay to gift yourself, especially at this time of year. Working overtime to get other people amazing gifts so it's not really that bad to treat yourself once in a while.

I'm not sure if it's just me that feels that way but I just thought I'd get my views out there anyway. So if you plan on treating yourself then do it! Try not to feel guilty, even though I know it's easier said than done and get whatever it is that you want. Of course, it has to be within reason, I don't think you'll be able to get yourself an actor husband or something anytime soon.

Hi everyone!

On Wednesday I finally graduated! I had an absolutely amazing day but unfortunately, it had to come to an end. As I keep trying to relive it, I decided to share my outfit with you in case you had an upcoming event and I'm pretty sure the dress is still available in certain sizes as well as the shoes (which were a massive bargain at £13!) All of the details are over on my YouTube. It's only 1 minute and 11 seconds so please please take the time to check it out and let me know your thoughts. Just click here to watch it and don't forget to subscribe if you like what you see.

How cute is this necklace? I was lucky enough to receive this from Teardrop, and I absolutely love it! They have a lovely range of jewellery, all of which are perfect gives with heart felt notes written on the bottom.

I decided to go for 'bee happy' as I thought this was really sweet and a good little thing to remember when wearing it. It came packaged up so nicely- as you can see, with the gold wrapping paper. You can also write a personal note yourself on the card that it comes on! I just feel like the whole idea of it is a lot more personal than just buying a plain necklace as you can pick something that is special to you, leave a heartfelt message and write your own!

I know I'll be wearing my little bee necklace all the time as it's so light and cute. If you'd like to check out their other designs, then head on over to their site or their twitter is @TearDropDesigns

If you do get anything then let me know.

I'm always one for comfort but I still like to feel nice! So this outfit of the day is just a casual look that I would go for when just shopping or socialising.

I love wearing the jeans because they ripped are still a current trend and they are so easy to wear! I paired them with a top with the words 'donut give up' on the pocket, and any association to food is a winner in my eyes. Again, a black leather jacket is quite a staple item and can go with not only jeans, but dresses too.

I must say, the shoes for this outfit are probably my favourite, the shoes feel like little slipper socks. I debated on what colour to go for but decided black would go with most things that I own. However, I love their other colours too- especially the grey ones..and the aqua ones.

Lastly, I chose to go for a statement necklace to make this look a bit more girly. I like this because as mentioned, most of the items in this outfit are quite versatile; and this one certainly follows on from that. It can transition an outfit from day to night, which is something I always love about statement jewellery.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might know that I've just taken a short trip to Rome. I went with my boyfriend for his birthday, so I have a little outfit that I thought was cute and comfortable!

 The photos were taken in front of the Colosseum on a sunny; yet windy day, so excuse my hair! 




The dress, draper and necklace are from Boohoo. I love the colourful print, it's very suited for Spring and Summer. It's quite thin but the little sleeves still keep your arms warmer if it's a bit chillier of an evening. There is just a zip on the back, the a-line style fits comfortably, and it's not clinging at all. I like this because especially when it's hot, I don't like things clinging to my stomach or arms. 

 I chose the draper in a white so it can be paired with a lot of different items in my wardrobe. Again, this is thin but it's a nice flowy fit, so I would keep this aside for warmer months. 




The statement necklace is fairly plain with colour because I didn't want too much going on. There is just a hint of baby blue which I like! This accessory was mainly to help me transition from day to night. My only problem with this is that some parts of it had spiky bits that were irritating my skin. 

I've had the sunglasses since last summer and these are the foldable Ray-bans. I absolutely love them because I always break the arms off sunglasses. They seem to go with everything too as they are a brown colour. 

I wasn't sure how hot it was going to be. So I decided to pair this with some tights and my black vans. I was quite glad that I did this since I was out all day and after walking everywhere, my feet needed to be comfortable! 


I hope you like the outfit. I've also posted a vlog from day one at Rome, day two will be posted shortly afterwards featuring the outfit in this post. You can watch and subscribe here:

I really want to try and value the good times, I guess that sounds very general. Like most of you, I love watching vlogs and youtubers and I think this is a great way to keep memories. For some time I've wanted to start up youtube, and I feel like there is no better time to start than now. So shortly I shall hopefully post vlogs of some exciting times and maybe even do some sit down videos. Let me know if you'd watch and what you would want to see! I could do tutorials, hauls, lookbooks, recipes and much more. 


These two photos are from two days recently, that I really enjoyed myself and I wish I would have vlogged so I could look back and relive them. 

I think it would be fun and a way to keep me busy and interacting with others. Plus I feel like the challenge could really push my weaknesses- from my anxious feelings of public vlogging or posting things in general (when I actually really want to do it) to gaining better editing skills and learning more about media behind the scenes. 

Little things like this can help you stay productive, interact more with people and set yourself goals to keep you task orientated. All of which are great traits to have.

I hope you've found this a form of exciting news, and if you do want to subscribe then click here to go to my Youtube channel. Also, feel free to comment any thoughts on the matter, what you would like to see and if you would watch my videos!

This post is a little random but it's something that I've been concentrating on recently.


I'm not sure if anyone else feels like this but I find that de-cluttering helps me focus! I've got a tonne of clothes at the minute that just needed sorting. So there's a couple of questions to help me decide whether it's staying or going. 


1. Does it fit? Sounds ridiculous but at the minute a lot of my clothes are going for that baggy look- which is completely unintended. Don't get me wrong, some things look nice oversized but others look like I'm wearing my dads top. In this instance it has to go! 

2. Did I wear this when I was 14? Okay so I think my fashion sense has changed drastically since I was a young teen. But my clothes don't seem to have made their way out of my wardrobe. Just because it fits, doesn't mean it stays. If you're still into the same taste then of course, there is no point in throwing it away. 

3. Do I actually wear it? I'm guilty of this. So many things I own still have tags on them. I see it in the shop, absolutely love it, tell myself I can totally wear it.. But of course, I never do. Either I need to buy something that matches it or get rid of it completely. I've found a good way to do this is to use and app called depop. You can buy cheap clothes or sell those that you want to finally bid goodbye to. I have a profile myself for my unwanted clothes (that I never did end up wearing), taylor swift hoody (Yep, the  whole 'I wore this when I was 14'), my topshop jeans (not a good oversized look) and accessories that have just sat in my room since their day of purchase. Check it out if you like! My username is emmaawilson. Perhaps my unwanted goods could be of better use to you.

P.S thank you so much for 50 followers on bloglovin'. It's a first milestone that I never thought I'd reach. I'm enjoying every minute of blogging so I'm glad you can continue the journey with me. 

Last night I went to see Edward Scissorhands in the theatre. I don't know if it's just me but I never know what to wear because I don't want to be too casual but don't want to be overly dressed either, so I'll show you what I decided on going for!
This is the whole outfit, the shoes are from urban outfitters (£95), the high waisted gingham trousers are from miss selfridge (£25), the top from urban outfitters (£18), the necklace from topshop, coat from new look and bag from topshop (I'm not sure how much these were since they aren't recent purchases.)


I always find black and white works well so this could probably be worn for a number of different things. 

 The shoes are so comfy and great for dressing up any outfit! But the main feature is of course, the high waisted tube trousers. These are a cheap option to make a simple look. I went for a tube top but a long black one could work well for better coverage.
