OOTW; The Christmas Edition '14

Well, its Christmas Eve! Which means today's OOTW is going to be what I'm wearing over the next 24 hours... and the last OOTW of 2014! I normally go super super elaborate at Christmas, with a gorgeous dress; which I did actually purchase. But sadly after feeling a little bit low emotionally the past few days I went and bought a more casual comforting outfit to try and make me feel a little more 'cuddled'. (Silly I know, but its the little things).

I do feel a little upset and let down that I feel so low at this time of year, seeing as I've been so excited for Christmas since November but alas that is life sadly!

'Twas The Night Before Christmas

Tonight I'm going to be wearing my new pyjama set from New Look's plus size range 'Inspire' ...
As you can see I opted for the 'I'm a train-wreck' look with unbrushed hair and no make-up and also posing next to my natural habitat...

Navy Fairisle Jogger Bottom Pyjama Set, New Look - £11
(Bought in Sale - Reduced to £4)

Oh I Wish It Could Be Christmas... Everyday!

So as I said, its very casual this year, unusual for me, but I just honestly don't feel in the mood. People should be glad I'm even making an effort to put make-up on if I'm honest!

Black, White & Grey Long Line Jumper Dress, Peacocks - £18
Slub Cable Knit Cardigan, Peacocks - £25
Large Bun Hair Donut, Peacocks - £3
Baby Pink Glitter Bow, Beauxoxo - £5

My face is also very very plain, I'll probably rub some glitter rub on me on the day if I can find it and pop on some perfume - but otherwise I'm sticking with foundation and mascara.
Base is;
Collection 2000 Concealer in 01 Fair
2True Concealer in 01 (Under Eyes Only)
Rimmel Match Perfection in Ivory
Maybelline New York Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in Ivory
Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara

My hair is very simple, just up in a bun using a large hair donut and added a cute bow for some cuteness.

I also painted my nails (sorry for the messy edges I literally just painted them and hadn't cleaned them up yet!). I used a matte varnish for the first time ever. I used the Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Shade ' Crush' number 441 - its mix between a deep purple/plum and a rich burgundy, I can't really decide. But I'm very impressed and this is my absolute favourite shade right now!

Well I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, not sure if I will be posting up a Saturday post this week as I'm going to the rugby in Twickenham on Saturday but we'll see... If not I hope you have a Happy New Year too!

See you guys soon!

Lots of Love

OOTW: Summer Psychobilly Style

Its finally summer in the UK, and its feeling hot, hot, HOT! Which makes me super duper happy! I'm also super happy due to the fact that this morning I checked my overall blog views and I've hit over 4,000 views! Which for little old me, is absolutely fantastic and amazing! I wouldn't have got this far without any of you!

Back to the OOTW... Today's is a kind of relaxed look generally because, I have so many errands to do, running round the house, baking cupcakes, going into the loft, cleaning the house etc that its just a super simple look! 

Black & White Psychobilly Peplum Top, Peacocks - £15

Black 3/4 length leggings, New Look - £6 (similar here)

Black Studded Creepers, New Look - £12 (sale) (similar here)

Pink Skullcandy Headphones, Argos - £34.99 (I've had these for 2 and a half years and still work perfectly!)

Marilyn Cat Eye Sunglasses, Wear it Again Sam - £5.99 (similar here)

Today I am in fact not wearing any make-up! Generally because I'm not going out anywhere special and I'm just doing jobs around the house and popping into the village I live in! To just even out my skin (because lets be honest no one has naturally perfect skin, and I also have spots), I put little bit of face powder on. I've also put my hair in a bun because its out the way and its much easier in this hot weather then having it down! To accessorise around the bun a bit, I put an elastic hair band round which has decorative flowers attached to just make it a little more girly, you can also fashion this with a bandanna if you prefer! 

This Friday is also my birthday! I turn 18 years old, how exciting! I will also be doing a blog post about my birthday, on Saturday (or Sunday, if I don't have enough time on Saturday) I will try and take as many pictures as possible too! 

I also just want to say, that next week I plan to film a video for my youtube channel (finally)! I also today, watched a video by my friend who I went to school with. You can see Sammie's video here, she's started an advice channel, and she's filmed the first episode, which I thought would be super helpful for any of you! 

Much Love

Emma Victoria
