I am so happy! I have finally got a job again! A proper job! If you follow me on twitter you may already know that I lost my job as a visual merchandiser just before Christmas as the shop I worked in closed down *boo* but I have been keeping busy, still interning at Missguided with Sara & searching for more work. But now all my hard work & waiting has paid off as, as of Monday 11th Feb I am starting work at DaisyStreet! Eeee I’m so excited! (‘: Anyway enough about me, onto the clooooothes…

If you follow me on instagram (@effiesmakeupbox) you have probably already seen this dress & these boots! & as loads of you were asking where the boots are from, I shall start with those… They are from a site called Chicnova & are super comfy. If you are anything like me & don’t like wearing heels much then these babies will be perfect for you, they are so easy to walk in & as I already said, they are super comfy! Check them out here>link they also do them in brown>link & Navy>link :)

OK, now for the dress. It was sent to me by the lovely people of AX Paris. I chose it purely for the print, although the cut of the dress is pretty cute too, it’s made of a really nice quality material, a little on the short side of life, but cute none the less. It’s definitely a dress up or down dress which is fab as I love versatile pieces so much because you get so much more wear out of them!

BLUNT…

Popcorn cardigan*: AX Paris
Triangle cut out ‘Perry’ dress*: BLUNT @ Fashion Frank
Tights: Primark
Chelsea boots*: Tribeca shoes

How awesome is this dress?! When Fashion Frank go in touch with me to tell me they were working on their own clothing line ‘BLUNT’ I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to see their designs! Julia, the founder & owner of Frank, was lovely enough to send me the BLUNT lookbook & asked if I wanted to pick an item out to feature on here. As you can see from the photos, I picked the ‘Perry’ triangle cut out dress in black. It also comes in a lime colour but as I am a closet goth, I went for black. The dress is completely hand made by the ladies of Frank & I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality & I really really love the triangle cut outs on the front & back of the dress. if you haven’t already, you need to check out BLUNT! Shop here>link

The Cardigan was sent to me by AX Paris. It’s called a popcorn cardigan because it’s made of a sort of bobbly material. It’s such an easy piece to wear & so comfortable. I’m sure I will be getting lots & lots of wear out of it as ‘winter’s coming’ *said in the most northern voice possible* (Gotta love Game Of Thrones ahahhaha)

We're finally back on British turf! Ahahhaha it feels so strange, obviously these photos were taken while we were still in Pamplona though ;) It feels so strange to be blogging from my bedroom again! I have been a bit awol on twitter the past few days, we have been sorting out all our things & just generally 'settling back in'. Like I said in my last outfit post though, don't worry, I have plenty of blog posts like this lined up & ready to post until I get back into taking outfit photos etc ^_^

Anywho, on to the outfit. The Peplum top was kindly sent to me by AX Paris. It's such a nice thick material & the shape is so flattering. I never thought I'd be one to wear peplum but here I am, wearing it & loving it! What do you think of the whole peplum trend?

The leggings are equally as awesome. They are from ROMWE's own line of leggings. The print is so vibrant & the leggings themselves are a really nice smooth & stretchy material so they fit really nicely, none of this baggy knees business, & they are completely opaque so there is no chance you will be flashing your undies through them ahahahaha (': I really am so impressed with the quality of these leggings, I have my beady eyes on a few other pairs too (these & these) I definitely need to get my mitts on another pair sometime soon & at less than £18 a pop + free shipping, it would be rude not to!

OK so as you can probably tell, it was pretty windy when we shot these photos ahhahha. It was so frustrating but in the end, I think the picturs turned out looking pretty good! ;) How amazing is the print on this dress?! I love it so much! The lovely people of AX Paris sent it me a few weeks ago & I have worn it so much since it arrived. It's actually become quite a key piece in my wardrobe & considering I'm not a 'dress' kind of girl, that's pretty big news! It's such a lovely, soft, light material & the cut outs at the sides just add that little extra ~something~ What do you think?

If you follow me on twitter or facebook you will probably already know that my laptop charger broke the other day so I have been unable to get onto my blog/emails/any social networks properly as my phone sucks ass! I am currently blogging from a computer at the bus station (glamorous, I know) & I am slowly but surely getting through my emails etc... I have ordered a new charger so hopefully that will arrive soon & everything will be back to normal! :)

There’s something I don’t quite ~like~ about this photo, I’m not sure exactly what it is though, I did have to edit the light quite a lot because the photos were really dark for some reason, I dunno, I just don’t think the quality is as good as usual… ahh well, moan over. I love these shorts (playsuit) from AX Paris so much, they make me feel like a mermaid! YAY!

I have spent the day scouring ebay & sourcing all sorts of new nail shizzle so I can paint some new sets up for my shop! #exciting I wanted to say a huge thank you to you guys if you have bought any of my nails, are going to buy any, retweeted any of my countless tweets or have even taken the time to just look at effienails. You are all amazing & I thank you all so much! :) Also remember to send me pictures of you wearing your '#effienails I would love to see!

Little mermaid…

Playsuit*: AX Paris
Cardigan: ebay
Belt: New Look
Boots*: OASAP

I look utterly miserable in this photo ahahha! It was really windy & my camera was having real trouble focusing properly because of all the leaves & stuff flying around in the air, & the light was shoddy, basically, we were both getting more & more fed up, hence why my face looks like it’s just been slapped with a wet fish…ahh well.

I love this playsuit! You have probably already seen this print before, as it’s all over the blogosphere at the moment. But when AX Paris got in touch with me  to ask if I wanted to pick something out, I couldn’t resist this beauty! There are two different versions, one with & one without straps, I chose the bandeau one as I thought it would be perfect for summer. It’s such a gorgeous colour & I love the shell print & the fabric is really nice! I was expecting it to be cotton, but its sort of silky. It makes me feel like a mermaid! ^_^

DIY floral playsuit…

 

Jumpsuit originally AX Paris @ New Look

It’s been ages singe I last posted a DIY! I have missed it, I really want to get back into doing it more often again! I have such a long list of things I want to do but I just haven’t got round to doing them yet.

I bought the jumpsuit about a year ago & I have only worn it a few times. I mostly bought it because I liked the print, I wasn’t too keen on the idea of wearing a 3/4 jumpsuit, but never the less I still wore it. But you know me & my obsession with shorts! I couldn’t resist & I finally gave it the chop & made it into a playsuit. I feel like it is much more ‘me’ now. It was pretty easy to DIY to be honest, all I did was cut the shorts to the length I wanted them & hemmed them.

What do you think? Do you prefer playsuits over jumpsuits too?

Speak soon <3

(EDIT: for those of you that wanted to see the jumpsuit on before I DIY’d it.)
