Christmas Markets


For my first blog post I thought I would do a little Christmas tourist one by showing you what me and Nathan (my fiancé) got up to at the York Christmas markets. We went on the train which took about an hour (I think) and £20 each return. Of course, the first thing we did when we got off the train was find the nearest costa for a cup of tea as it was so cold. I tried the lindt hot chocolate as it's my favourite chocolate but didn't like it, yet Nathan who hates lindt loved it? 

We then tried looking on google for somewhere to go for breakfast but ended up going in the Slug and Lettuce which I’d heard good things about. I don’t know if they were having an off day but we weren’t impressed. The cups were dirty and the full English breakfast wasn’t that yummy. At least we got some cute pictures.  

Whenever me and Nathan go anywhere we like to google places for inspiration on what to see, where to eat, coffee shops etc.
We did some shopping in the normal shops and then went into the markets where we bought three cute tree decorations which were 3 for £5, really cheap and the quality is amazing!

Then we found the Harry Potter shop ‘the shop that must not be named.’ AHHHH! When we seen this had opened earlier this year in York we were so excited to go. I love the Harry Potter films and Nathan is a mega fan so we were like two little kids. A lot of the stock was things I hadn’t see before which I was surprised at but it was really unique and such a cool idea!

Although we both don't really drink often, we couldn't not go and have a cocktail. I'd seen a lot of people on Instagram go to two popular ones, so we thought we would try both; The Botanist and The Evil Eye Lounge. 
 Cocktail Menu
The cocktails in the botanist were amazing! There were in the pots and planters section of the menu and £7.50 each. I've added a link on the picture to the menu if you want to have a look. Overall we had an amazing day full of fun, festivity and FOOD! Would recommend York Christmas markets 100%.  

Love,

Let’s talk slogans...

I absolutely love clothing with slogans on. I think they are so cool and unique. Thought I would share a few of my recent slogan buys as well as a few old ones. I've linked the things I could find (just clock the picture).  I love finding clothes with words and I keep adding to my collection.  So recently, I got this jacket from misguided which I am in love with. I’m actually saving it to wear as my birthday outfit with a plain black jumpsuit because I just love it so much an think it's worthy of a good night in London haha. Lover has been my word for so long and I used to use it all the time. They do the same jacket in a couple of styles and colours .   This one is from the men’s section in H&M but I loved it too much not to buy. Always saying I’m cold hearted, I’m not really I just can be haha! This one reminds me of all the Kanye West stuff that I love! I actually follow an account on Instagram @wornbyellis which has some cool sloga...

Makeup Revolution - Brow Tint - does it work?

Hey loves! I recently bought this revolution brow tint and obviously had to review it. If you seen my blog post on HD brows and the maybelline tattoo brow   you'll know I'm a fan of the tattoo brow idea! I reallllly don't like my natural eyebrows, they never sit right, there too light for my hair and are a rubbish shape, anyone else? Anyway so my sister tried this out first and said she really liked it so I went to superdrug and picked it up myself. I was initially really impressed as it only cost £5 where as the maybelline one cost £12 so a massive difference and I just love saving money. The packaging itself is simple, nothing to fancy just black with crome writing on and you can see the bottle through the little opening. The back of the box shows you step 1, 2 and 3 of how to apply it, how long to leave it on etc.  I got it in the darkest shade they do, dark brown as my hair is blue/black.  This is what the applicator looks like, it quite a thick...

MY WEEK IN OUTFITS - Holiday Edition

MY WEEK IN OUTFITS - Holiday Edition Hello everyone and welcome to this super late utopia Wednesday (on a Thursday oops) This is my first that I have done like this where I show you my week in outfits and it's a good one as its my holiday edition. I got back from a week in Palmanova with my amazing fiance on Tuesday who took all these pictures might I add the little photographer. It's all good though I don't have to force him to take the pictues as we both do social media and YouTube so it works both ways for us haha! Before I get on with showing you the outfits and where they are from I just wanna say that we had the most amazing time away and are always thinking of out next trip even if its just somewhere for the day. We find this really important mentally and physically as it engages our inner explorer. Plus we love vlogging our days for ourselves to look back on and for other people to enjoy! Okay let's dive straight in as they say... Jumper: Pr...
