Christmas Questions

Helloooooooo everyone!

Today I thought I would share with you some Christmas questions I have answered :)

The first video of the Christmassy series was the Christmas Tag video. Since I've done so many tag videos already and enjoy doing them, it became inevitable that I'd do a Christmas Tag! This one was a slightly longer, more chatty tag video.

For this weeks video me and my sister Alicia filmed a Christmassy Quiz/ Challenge video. It was alot of fun to do, especially since we didn't have a clue what to expect. For the first half we had to guess which Christmas song intros were playing, and the person that guessed the fastest got a point...simples! Then for the second half we answered some questions that related to Christmas, and we were quite bad actually, so didn't know much about Christmas :D 
At the end of the Christmas Quiz there were also many bloopers, since that's usually what happens with my sister and everything takes twice as long :D The video did end up being over ten minutes long, which was a shame, but it did seem some-what worth it for the bloopers which made us both smile and laugh :)





Stay tuned!

My New Winter Coat


As I'm sure you can tell by the name of this post, I've got a new winter coat ! :D 
And I absolutely love it. So I thought I'd share it with you.


I  brought this coat for £54.99 from New Look :) 
I had wanted to buy a pale pink or burgundy winter coat, so when I saw this one I just fell in love with it! It's a pale pink/ slightly grey-ish colour, a really soft, warm material. 
Plus (obviously the best part!) the hood is full of wool, with fur (fake of course) around the edge. I just love the amount of fur on the hood because some can be rather sparse, but this one definitely is not :)









 loving the amount of fur ! :D


 Got a bit carried away as I fell in love with my coat, and especially the hood!
I just love it sooo much, and I do love New Look coats, even though they do seem more expensive now than they once were.


Stay tuned!

Chiara Fashion


Today I am going to be reviewing a lovely dress I received a few weeks ago from Chiara Fashion (the link to their website can be found HERE)
 (Also... in these photos please excuse the bad hair, skinny legs and squinty eyes (it was rather sunny))


I am wearing the White Lace Bodycon Dress, which I then matched with my leather jacket from New Look, and black wedge lace heels from New Look (I do like New Look). I feel this outfit goes really well together, using the black accessories contrasting with the white dress. But of course the look could be easily jazzed down with some casual wedges or sandals, and a nice floral kimono... perfect for the summer weather/my summer holiday next year ;)


The dress is also a nice length, pinned in sightly at the waist to give gentle curves, but not too tight, and not too formal.


My first impressions were that it was a really pretty lace pattern, and was actually very white (not like the cream or off-white you get, if you know what I mean). 
The only one thing I could say is that the quality of the dress material is a bit thin for my liking, but the separate lace is rather thick and of good quality. The prices of all of their clothes are just so low priced compared to other places you'd find up the high-street, and are such good value for money.




So overall I am very happy with my dress, and might purchase a few more items from Chiara Fashion in the future! :D I can't wait to wear the dress..!

Stay tuned!

How often should one blog?

Hello everyone!
And after my short 6 day break I come to you asking the question, how often should one blog?

After the blog a day every day for a month (Blogtober - As I call it) I realised just how hard it is to routinely write and post a blog post for each and every day.

On Bloglovin' I get quite a few emails through everyday, and I noticed that quite a lot of people do blog everyday and have done for a while. Personally I find blogging everyday very hard because I am doing different things every evening, I shortly figured out that most people who blog daily must have posts on-the-go. Throughout my "Blogtober" I planned to type loads of blog posts so I always had a few ready, and then post on the set day...but obviously that didn't work. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make any posts so almost every day before bed I had to rush a post to get it up by midnight - she says typing this now at 00:02. I guess that's why if I ever blogged daily again I'd try my hardest to type up quite a few posts so I always have some at the ready. And that's also why I struggle to see how people can post each day? Although I guess it's different if blogging and youtube is your job.

I guess its just generally up to you and your lifestyle, as to how often you post. Not forgetting how many things there are that you can actually blog about! I think I'm going to try and blog a few times each week. Sunday and Thursday possibly?

Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween!!

I hope you've all had a lovely halloween!
We didn't actually do anything this year, which was odd. But I did film a halloween special video for you guys.
Me and my sister did the Trick or Treat challenge, which basically involved some failed apple bobbing, and then whatever came with that apple...

My Favourite Youtubers

Today I thought I'd do a slightly different post for you, about YouTube!!



So my favourite YouTuber eveeeerrrrr I'm sure you know is Zoella :)
I've been watching her videos for so long, and way longer than I've made an account and been subscribed to her for.
The link to her YouTube is HERE just in case there's a chance you've never seen Zoella :O



Probably not much of a surprise that Joe is also one on my faveeesss ;)
And I think like most people, I actually started subscribing to him after I watched the videos him and Zoe filmed together on her channel.

The link to his channel is HERE :)



I suppose after them I would say my third favourite is Marcus Butler, ad I don't know why exactly him instead of the other YouTubers, but I guess I just like watching his videos, and the way he edits them?

The link to his channel is HERE  ;)



Another one of my favourite YouTubers is Emily-Victoria Canham ~ Imhereforever
I'm not actually sure how I came to watching her videos, but I think it was from her Instagram, and before I started watching Zoella. I've been following her Instagram since she had less than 20k, and shes grown ever so much since then.

The link to her channel is HERE :)



Another one of my favessss is Chloe Bown.
I've been subscribed to her for a while and she has gained so much in that time. I think that most of that helps that shes such a lovely, kind girl and is so easy to talk to :)

The link to her channel is HERE


Those are by initial favourite YouTubers that I watch the most, and have seen almost all of all their videos :)


Some of the other YouTubers I like are;

Alfie Deyes (PointlessBlog) even though most of the time I only watch him in vlogs






Becca Rose, whos channel I watch occasionally but I do really like her videos


I do enjoy watching Gabriellas videos as well
Shes another YouTuber I found on Instagram and have been following her since she had about 30k
And of course Tyler Oakley :) (When I'm in a good mood)
As I said before - the when I'm in a good mood YouTubers ;)
I do like watching these YouTubers but often find theres a certain time and place.

So obviously Miranda Sings, who most of the time does my head in. 
Then theres Joey Graceffa who I don't watch as much now. 
And lastly of course Lucas and Jenny :) Fred and Auntie Agatha (from Jessie) so of course I'm going to watch them... I think its quite a good combination actually with the two of them.










Stay tuned!

My new college bag


Today I thought I'd show you my new bag I got for college. 


I am happy with my current bag, but am needing a new one for certain criteria:
1 - I need a bigger bag
2 - It needs to fit my laptop in
3 - It needs to fit an A4 folder in
4 - It needs to be rather strong to hold my laptop in

So that led me towards getting a rucksack rather than any other type of bag. I searched online for quite a while but eventually decided to just go with what I know. I brought a roxy rucksack in year 5, I still have it and it works reasonably fine, sorted. same again. haha yes I'm kind of like a man when it comes to shopping for these sort of things.



Since I kind of knew I could trust the brand, I searched on Amazon and found this bag from the Surfdome shop :) It was just under £30 I think, which isn't too bad because I hope for it to last me a while.




 It was crazy and literally arrived a day later! And the bag is absolutely massive which is pretty good, it's also quite thick and of good quality, which was one of my main points. Aaaannnnnddddd my laptop tucks in quite nicely so overall I am very happy.



Stay tuned!

Long Jeans? Really that long?

 

When I was a child I was a midget. Haha it is very true :D I used to be smaller than everyone for all my life, then in high school I had quite a bit of a growth spurt...and here I am today apparently buying jeans from the long section. Never would've thought that!
 
 

As I'm sure you can see, skinny jeans are always baggy on me, I can't help it, I've been skinny all of my life and eat loads...logic? It's always been a bit odd, and I hate being skinny, especially because legs look skinnier as they get longer.
Personally I don't want really long legs, but my legs keep growing and the problem is that some of my jeans finish at about ankle length (I know woooo ankle swingers), especially with my leggings because they finish much higher than ankle length.
 

 
 So I thought I'd nip to Primark and grab a pair of long jeans, mostly because I love Primark, and if I didn't like the fit, then they were only cheap anyway.
The jeans don't actually come too long on me, and to be honest I quite like them a little bit longer.
 


Am I supposed to be  long size? Are jeans supposed to hang underneath your ankle?
 
 
I don't know, the longer jeans are more comfy, but will be a lot harder to find in shops.
 
 
Stay tuned!
