6 Months Worth of #OOTD's

Looking back on it now, I've been gone for a very long time with fewer posts inbetween. In that time I bought probably a full wardrobes worth of clothes and never showed you all. However rather than post a super duper long haul video/post I'm just going to show you all a few ootd's from instagram from the past few months.  (@ellelouiseexo if you don't already follow me). So enjoy :-)

1. How cool are these onesies though? I had to include them! They are super duper comfy and only £7 each from the Primark sale. I now wear them nearly 24/7...

2. The dress is from the Primark summer range and now one of my favorites and the bow from Claire's accessories. It was a gorgeous sunny day so I got my arms out!

3. This was from my school placement before Easter. The stripey top is from New Look, the pinafore from Topshop (eBay) and the bag from Next. I feel like an kid in this dress and I love it!
4. This is from a night out to say goodbye to my friend going to Africa! The dress is from the new Primark range and the shoes are real Jeffrey Campbell Lita's, they are so high it's scary! 5. This is from a recent night out and I decided to glam up! The dress is vintage from a charity shop and the heels from Primark last year, the dress also has a huge bow at the back which makes it even better ♡~♡
6. The dress is from New Look last year, the heels are the same as above and the coat is vintage. I love this coat, it's so thick and soft and makes me feel so vintage it's unreal!
So that's it for now guys, I love taking outfit pictures so I hope once my exams are over I can get into full swing with the summer sun and show you guys some more of the clothes I bought! :-)

Girl in the Tartan Dress // OOTD

I haven't done any OOTD's in forever, I have a few due to be posted from my birthday but I'm waiting to photograph all my pressies (I just haven't had the time!) so I thought you could all have one that I wore to college yesterday. The dress is waaaaay 'dressy' in my mums opinion but I felt cute for college, so oh well!

I'm soooo in love with the print on this dress! Just makes me feel all pretty and girly, plus the heels with are incredibly comfy at first but kill my feet after a day at college (they are pretty big!). Also the coat makes me feel amazing, I don't know why but it's one of my favorite purchases ever.
Coat - Primark // Dress - New Look // Boots - New Look // Scarf - New Look // Tights - Primark  Here it all is put together! Between you and me I felt pretty good at college, not to brag I just felt pretty. I'd also tried out my new curling tongs (kind of a success!) and also I tried the vintage hair look of the 'pomp' which is basically a quiff with the sides of my hair pinned back which didn't go to badly!  ps. excuse the random objects in the photos and the background, these were taken quickly and the weather was poo outside!

Spoilt Bunny & Merry Christmas!

Hello all and merry Christmas I hope you all had a fine one indeed, I know I did filled to the brim with Christmas food, alcohol and family fun. I know I've been slightly scarce on posts this past month but with the run up to Christmas I just haven't had the time what with finding and buying presents, wrapping them up and then giving them. Not to mention college and work, lets say it all got a little hectic.

However on to the fun stuff, I like many other people got rather spoiled this Christmas, with many things I just wasn't expecting which is always lovely. So here is a little post just to show you all what I got. (This is in no way shape or form boasting of what I received  I just like to see this kind of posts and I hope you do too.) Bearing in mind I have 2 families and a lovely boyfriend to receive from. 

First off, my Soap & Glory collection. Just look at it! Most of this I received out of the big £60 gift set (reduced to £27) I received off my lovely boyfriend and the other bits and bobs of family members. It all smells so amazing, I can't wait to try everything out.

Bits and bobs here included a gorgeous hand stitched journal from Paperchase (I've been lusting them all year long!) an egg cup thing filled with bath bombs, lip balms and a really nice smelling Lush set which was a lovely surprise. 

Being the bookworm I am I got bought quite a few books as well as 1-4 seasons of The Big Bang Theory as well as a ton of chocolate like always. Since going up in bra sizes I got some gorgeous bra's bought from Debenhams and a really nice studded black biker jacket. 

As you can see I'm a spoilt but very happy little bunny. Also I got given money of other various relatives and also my gorgeous Galaxy Tablet in white from my dad. And in return everyone got a well loved present from me. On Christmas day we all had a rather big surprise before starting our meal, my mums boyfriend of nearly 4 years got down on one knee and proposed to her, which I think was terribly romantic!

The new year is rolling around so quick too! The idea of 2013 is ever so scary, my 2nd year of college, turning 18 and my boyfriend turning 20 and our year anniversary eek! I haven't even had chance for my own little spending spree in the sales, which I think will be on today's agenda and then I'll be spending the eve with my boyfriend and a few vodka redbulls. With the new year will come new posts and inspiration, I mean I have all these wonderful products to review! I also hit 150 followers while I was away, thank you to all you wonderful bloggers! Hopefully in the near future there'll be a giveaway!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and an even better New Year! :)

Christmas Shopping!

I now have a working memory card for my camera which means more posting so sorry about the small hiatus. This week I went Christmas shopping because I got paid on Tuesday and I also treated myself to some little bits and bobs! I did spend a great deal but some things haven't arrived but I've done well so far and only have a few more presents to get! :)

first picture; lush - snow fairy gift box,  biggest bottle of snow fairy & bubblegum lip scrub, TRESemme shampoo (£2 in asda heh), licorice sweets for a friend, paul smith aftershave for the boyfriend, botanics day cream, wooly hat and dressing grown from primark, i also got a lovely deal on krispy kreme doughts which was 24 for £8... i did share don't worry!

third picture; lovely wrapping paper and tags, cute penguin cards for work friends, close family cards, more TRESemme shampoo & condition, more sweets for friends and also my little brother.

Overall you can probably see that I spent a lot.. However I am sorted for Christmas and I'm so happy I can say that! I ended up treating myself to the Lush Bubblegum lip scrub which smells/tastes amazing I love it! I also stocked up on my favorite shampoo due to a brilliant bargain, a lovely wooly hat and a new dressing gown which are both so so soft. I also got the Krispy Kreme doughnuts on a whim and shared them all with a few friends me and my boy met up with. 

I'll probably have another Christmas update soon round about my next payday, still so much to buy! Plus I want my own big bottle of snow fairy! I've seen some lovely items that I would badly like for Christmas such as knee length docs filled with fair, it's just the £105 price tag does put me off a little. However this week has been lovely even being at college it's just a shame about the cold weather.

How's your week been so far?

Birthday Purchases!

As you all know I went shopping on Wednesday with my birthday money and I got lots of lovely things. I did get mainly clothes (like always!) but I did buy some Christmas presents so I am pretty pleased with myself.

lace dress - new look £20 // white bra -debenhams £18 // black & burgundy bra - new look £9 // burgundy skirt - new look £13 // VO5 serum - boots £4 // DVD - cex £3 // studded boots - new look £25 // black skirt - river island £16 // dog card - paperchase £1.50

I also got a few other bits and bobs that aren't on here. But safe to say I haven't done bad, I got nearly everything with student discount and I got some 'higher' brands than normal which is rather nice. I especially like my burgundy skirt and boots, despite them being really high and hard to walk in! (I'm a sucker for cute heels but can't walk in them). However the only thing not mentioned here is the Christmas presents I bought
and that's because I don't want to let them slip for a fellow blogger who bought me a rather lovely notebook.

I also got refitted for some bra's seeing as I haven't been in years. I ended up going from an A to a D cup and I thought I'd treat myself to a nice comfy bra from Debenhams and it is lovely. I know where I'll be spending my Christmas money! I also bought myself a lovely Casio watch and I recently bought an iPod last night - a 160GB Black iPod Classic which I'm so excited to arrive, finally an iPod with space for all my make up. Lovely :)

Birthday Wishlist!

As your all aware (or not) my birthday is on the 23rd of this month (next week!) I turn 17 and normally at this stage all you get is money to buy your own presents apart from the odd thing. I though I'd make a little wishlist just to remind myself of what I really want. 

1. Lush's Love Lettuce & Cupcake - £6

These are just two of Lush's products I'd like, I want to try all of their bath bombs and face masks, I guess I'll just have to pick a few out and try them first.

2. iPod classic 60G/120G

My iPod touch has had it's run I think, 32G is just not enough space for all my apps and music combined. I think it's time for a small upgrade and I'm determined to get one of these. Their so cute and lovely. I would also love an alarm clock and speakers in one for my iPod/iPhone, I just have to find a cheapish one.

3. Strawberry & Forest Fruits lip scrub £6.95

I saw these on someones blog a while back and thought they were ever so cute and I wanted to try them. I've seem top reviews about Lush's lip scrubs and I want to see what these products are all about and if their as good as everyone's opinions. 

4. Fake Jerffery Campells £34

These shoes are gorgeous. I'm not sure if I'd ever wear them but their always there if I would? These are so gorgeous and I love studded things at the moment as well as boots, I guess I'd just have to learn to walk in them?

5. Boucle Pini £30

I still really badly want this! It's so gorgeous and so cute I just hope it's in stock when I have the money to order it, it's delightful.

6. Casual Vacancy JK £12

I'm such a big fan of her and I just can't say no to her new book! You can pick it up at half price at the moment and I love hard back books so I can't wait for this one. With this I'll have her full collection which I'm very proud to say.

7. Casio Watch in purple £3.99

I've always been a fan of watches I've just never found one that suited me. This one is retro and in a gorgeous colour so I can't wait to get one, it's ever so cute.

8. Bookshelf Kindle Case £16.99

This may be verging on nearly £20 for a kindle case but it's so gorgeous and well my kindle is quite special to me (as are my books) and I'd hate for it to get damaged. This case is ever so cute and well, it's gorgeous and very 'me'.

There is so much stuff not on this list I would love to buy, if only I could remember it, look out for a big shopping haul post when my birthday does arrive because I'll not only have a big shopping spree with birthday money but I'll be getting paid as well.

What's on your wishlist this week?

Wishlist 02

Twizzlers - CyberCandy £1.29

Every since having this in America when I was about 6 I've been searching for them in shops over here ever since. Although they aren't around yet, this site does offer all American candy for cheap prices.

Wine Colored Stitched Jumper - Dorothy Perkins £25

I can never deny jumpers when I want them and this is in my favorite colour! Plus it is coming up to winter so I could treat myself to this one and a gorgeous cream one I found.

Gold and Ivory Wind Up Watch - Wicked Clothes $49.99   

I'm not too sure on how much this would be in ££ but this is so gorgeous! I have a thing for pocket watches and I really would like a new watch, considering I'm kind of all grown up I actually think I would use one, especially if it looked like this!

Dixie Lace Up Boots - Toxic Codeine $38.00 

I really really want a pair of these, I'm willing to spend 2 weeks worth of paycheck on them but the shipping on this site seems huge and I genuinely can't find any other alternatives :(

MAC 'Mac Red Lipstick - MAC - £14 

This color looks stunning and I've been after a deep red decent lipstick for ages, I'm just put off by the price.

Scrabble Title Cushion - BeauteBelle - £6 including p&p

The image for this tile was taken from Vicky @ daily-hoot. 

The cushion is just so cute, I saw Vicky's post about this the other week and knew I was for desperate for one, you can get any letter you like including punctuation, I think it would look lovely in my room!

Red Lip Liner - MUA £1.00

I've been after one of these for ages because the red lipsticks I use always tend to run after a while, I didn't want to spend tons on my first one because I've never actually used lip liner before! Lets hope this one does the job.

Boucle Pini - Topshop £30 

This is the most gorgeous little dress ever! Because I got paid yesterday this will be the first thing I purchase! I just need a little white blouse underneath and it will be perfect for college :)

College Induction OOTD & EOTD

Okay so yesterday and today's afternoon was my college enrollment (massive waste of time) however I thought this would be a chance to show off one of my outfits for college and also the make up I matched with it - please note that doing eye shadow is not one of my strong points, I just like pretty colors.  For today i though I'd whack out my new army jacket, one of the current phases everyone's going through. Now when I say I like vintage I mean it, this jacket (I think) was actually worn by someone in the US Army and also had a name tag on until it got ripped off, anyway on to the pictures!

shorts - h&m // tights & top - primark 

jacket - beazleys // bag - beazleys

I really do like this jacket, I've only worn it twice since I got it and I've fallen in love, it only cost me £15 too! However on to my make up of the day! 

For this I the Glitter ball palette and the shades I used shade 3 on the top row and shade 6 also on the top row. I also used 'Big fake Lashes' by Collection 2000 and I also used their pressed powder in Ivory. AS you can see it's quite plain. All I did was put a coat of sliver on top first and then went over the the green. After this I just added a tiny amount of silver just above the green! For my lashes I just added 2 coats of my Collection 2000 and that was it. I agree not my best makeup but I really liked it.

I adore the way MUA's eyeshadow's go on, how about you? Have you tried this Glitter ball (or any other) palettes?

Back To School Shop: Clothes!

Here's the long awaited post I promised you all. I went shopping on Thursday for all of my college clothes, so much was spent yet I got some gorgeous things. I also did a staionary shop which can be found here. Warning I got quite a lot of things so this post will be very photo heavy but hey then you can see how lovely everything is! I also got some shoes earlier in August for college which I've been wearing beforehand so I'll show you them too :)

new jeans // new underwear!! // more tights

kitty umbrella // new bag

my really cute Aztec cardigan I can't wait to wear // lacy white blouse // skull blouse

a gorgeous a little 'vintage' dress I picked up // I love the collar clasp

guys sailor jumper  // the color is gorgeous!

this jumper was so gorgeous I had to have it! // new desert boots for college!

I got a cute little bag from primark with a fox on it 

new trend going and I had to join, this one is 'vintage' due to the U.S Army badge and the badges on the arm :)

As you can see I had quite a good haul for clothes for college, things I desperately needed and can mix and match with clothes I already had. Also many places aren't selling them yet but I got a gorgeous winter coat from Matalan. It's a Parker and it fits wonderfully not only that, it was cheap for a coat and is so comfy! I haven't done my make up shop for college yet! Not like I can afford it with everything I bought and it't not as if I need anything so I think when I get my first pay check I'll buy myself a new palette from MUA. 

I had such fun doing this shop for college, everything I bought apart from the Army jacket was from Primark and quite reasonably priced. I could of bought everything, it was all so gorgeous. Anyway I'm going to leave you all with a picture of my gorgeous Parker I bought.. from only £32! :)
