Recycling Clothes & Possible Blog sale?

I've always wondered why there wasn't some magical place where you could sell your clothes back to somewhere for like half of what they are worth or something! But since such a place doesn't exist, I've decided to see how my clothes would fair selling on ebay.

I didn't think I'd get very much for my pieces, but it turns out that they aren't doing too bad! I sold a few Primark tops for like £6 when they probably cost me that in the first place!

So now I've decided whenever I want something new, I've got to find old things to sell to the value of the new thing(s)! I spent £90 on clothes the other day (which I'll do a little haul on in a few days) and I currently have made £45 from old clothes! So still got a little way to go, but it's fun!

I think the lady in the post office will start to hate me! I posted 5 things the other day! She's grumpy anyway!

I was considering selling my Armani Diamonds Perfume gift set that I got for Christmas, and maybe seeing how it does here, but since I haven't blogged in such a long time, I'm not sure how many people would look!

Comment below if you think I should do a blog sale of my clothes and bits and bobs, I might have some makeup stuff that I could sell too.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Changing Hair colour?

Right, over the last month I have been trying to dye my hair dark blonde. First I pre-lightened it which turned it bright orange with white blonde patches and some brown bits too! So I was very scared! Then I used a dark blonde dye and it went a kinda brassy ginger colour but I've been using John Freida's violet colour correcting mousse and it seems to help but then my housemates were teasing me saying it was starting to look green! So then I dyed it this colour;

106 Natural Medium Ash Blonde (left)

Next time I'm considering dying it 101 Shade Natural baby blonde because maybe then it will look like 106 is supposed to! but comparing the two colour samples, they look almost identical? Although below (right) is the colour I got when I used 106.

Here's before and after pics; I was wearing colour contacts in the before pic :P

I'm not sure if I want to dye it again or leave it this colour and use a home highlighting kit to introduce blonde into my hair.

Thoughts?

Much Love,

Emz ♥

A year break?!

I can't believe it's been so long since I last had a blog post! I've been so busy with uni that blogging fell to the back of my mind! But now I'm really hoping that I'll remember to blog more now because it's something that I really used to enjoy!

Hope everyone is well,

New Look + H&M Haul

Hiyaaa, sorry it's been so long, I lost my campus card last week which was a bit of a pain D: I left it in the nightclub.

Right, so first I'm going to start with what I've bought recently.

Store: Both TFNC London
Price: Left; £37 reduced to £20 Right; £35 reduced to £20

I have been wanting these dresses for soooo long but I've always said to myself that they were too much. When I saw these on sale I knew I had to have them straight away! They're gorgeoussss and they both tie together at the back into a bow. Soo cute and a bargain price, it just shows that it pays to wait a little while!

Store: New Look
Price: £59.99 reduced to £25!

This is the coat that I was talking about in my previous post. I LOVE this coat. It's real leather and I'm so surprised that i found this for only £25! what made it even better was I had a £20 voucher for christmas so actually I only paid £5! The fur can also be removed so you can just wear it as a leather jacket if you wanted to.

Store: New Look
Price: £15.99 but something like £12.80 cause of 20% student discount

I like this skirt because it's got a zip at the back and because it feels more secure and like it will stay in place than my £3.99 jersey skirt from H&M which kept riding up too much!

Store: New Look
Price: £24.99 but I got them for £19.99 (20% student discount)

I really do love these, but because I'm already 5ft 8, these make me close to 6ftish. I feel like a giant when I wear them, and they're sooo painful after a short amount of time D:

Store: H&M
Price: I think this was around £10 or £12 but reduced to £5.

Perfect with a little black skirt for going out :)

Store: H&M
Price: £24.99

I love thisss! It's a lovely lace dress and it looks lovely with a little tan belt!

Store: H&M
Price: £14.99

I really needed a pair of flat shoes to go out, because the big wedge shoes that I bought are soo painful and sometimes I don't feel like wearing heels cause I'm tall enough as it is D:

So that's all for now folksss!
Hope you liked my haul.

See you soon!

Love,
Em ♥

I promiseee!!

Right,

I REALLY need to get back into blogging! I miss it, but then somehow I always get distracted!
I am going to go to sleep soon (hello messed up body clock!) and make writing a blog post high on my to-do list!!

Thing is, when I got back to uni, I had major drama with my room, because although it sounds stupid, I'm convinced somebody stole my duvet... I thought I must have left it at home, but my mum is sure... then I found the evidence! I found a massive false nail, back of an earring and claires accessories tag on by bed which definately wasn't mine!! I called security and was understandably upset... How could this have happened... 4th floor, locked door, no signs of forced entry and also security did a key audit (it's all jazzy and we have key cards) so they can see exactly when you opened your door and such.. but there's no trace of anyone being in my room which is so weird!!! I've given the evidence to the head of security but it's been over a week and I've heard nothing D:


I've also had a fish finger stealer D: and people who use my cutlery! it's really getting on my nerves now! Here's a picture of a note I left on the fridge :)

I'm really excited because I can share some of my christmas presents (yes, I know it's a bit late :P) and exciting things from a Haul the other day, including a massive bargain leather (yes really!) aviator jacket on sale for £25!

I'm so exciteddd. See you all soon :)

Ps. I might even have the post up for when most of you guys will read this...

I'll leave you all with this ADORABLE picture of our Henry Hoover. Sooo cuteee ;D My friend says he's going to "take henry for a walk" everytime he's going to vaccum his room :P
doesn't he just look soooo cheeky? :P

Bye for now,
Emz ♥

I'm Alive!

Firstly, I'd just like to apologise to all my followers who haven't heard anything from me from October! I've been so busy with uni stuff (and partying!) that I have forgotten about my love of blogging :(

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and I hope everyone gets some really nice gifts :D I've asked for a pair of GHDs since I've only ever nicked the ones that Mum has used but now I'm at uni, I'm really missing her GHDs! I'm secretly hoping that she's got me the midnight collection one with the posh box and everything, but I'd be really happy with just the straightners too :)

Also, I'd like to introduce to you my new hair colour!
Today I took the plunge and decided to dye my hair with "casting creme gloss" which lasts 28 washes which i'm sure that you will all be familar with! I chose the shade 454 (Chocolate Brownie) and these are the results, a lovely brown with red tones:

I'm looking forward to blogging (and reading your blogs) a lot more than I have been recently :) Hope you all have a wonderful christmas!

Lots of Love,
Emz ♥

Uni Life! ♥

Right so I've been at uni for a wholee month now! And I'm really loving it :)

The only thing is that I don't have a full length mirror so I can't do OOTD posts anymore... And I'm so busy all the time that I just don't have time for blogging. But I promise this will change everyone :D even if it's just once a week at the weekend.

For now I will leave you a few pics of where I'm living now at Surrey University, and also a couple of pics of me on nights out :)

This is my room with my ensuite :)

This is the kitchen that I share with 5 other people. Although where I live is lovely, I've started to realise that I wish I lived on campus because there is only 6 people to a flat, and I've been put with international students x.x;;

This is the "back to school" night out. To demonstrate the awkwardness of the living situation, not a single person in this picture lives in the same flat as me!

Me and my next door neighbour Jo :)

This was taken before the ministry of sound night out on friday :) I got very drunk and dragged a traffic cone up to my room which startled me a little in the morning! :P

Hope everyone is doing okay :)

Love,
Emz ♥
