How cool is this jumper?! I love a bit of Evil Twin & find it quite hard to find genuinely good UK stockists so when I saw that MEEMEE have started stocking a bit of ET I was SO EXCITED!

I’ve mentioned MeeMee.com on here before a couple of times (a wee while ago) & I can’t recommend them enough, you can check out their website here>link. They have currently got a load of new festive goodies in their new in section (you won’t regret taking a look, promise! Well, your bank account might but hey, life is short!) ^_^

 Have you ever shopped with MeeMee? What's you're favorite piece on the site? :)

OK so while I am still getting round to sorting my camera out, I thought it would be nice to do a bit of a flash back of an old shoot I did back in January with WE ARE COW.

Now if you haven't heard of them before, they are an awesome vintage clothing company based in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham & Nottingham but if you can't make it to any of their stores you can shop online here>link . Seriously, you should give them a check!

(You might recognise my little dino shoot buddy (': from this post>link isn't he just the freaking cutest! ^_^) Also, there is no guarantee that you will find the items I am wearing on the site but there will be many similar :) Happy shopping! ^_^ www.wearecow.com

Ghouls just wanna have fun…

Boo!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Well, hi again!, long time no freaking see again >.< Basically because my laptop is a hot mess & my camera is awol (all the lols)

This post is a little random but I thought it might be a nice ‘ice breaker’ back into the blogosphere. If you follow my instagram @effiesmakeupbox you will have probably already seen some of these photos (if you don’t, then go & follow, I promise my feed is pretty OK (a no belfie zone but still pretty good ;)

So yeah, this post is pretty self explanatory really, I dressed up as quite a few bits & bobs this Halloween (Ariel being my favourite, closely followed by Lydia Deetz) Gotta love a bit of Halloween cosplay! & then there are the obligatory pumpkins, I swear we pick something harder & harder each year to carve, this year being Groot & Star Lorde from Guardians Of The Galaxy (SUCH a good film!)

Anyway, I think it’s nice to be back? I’m gonna stop rambling now & let you get on with the rest of your Sundays :) What did you guys dress up as for Halloween? Also, leave your instagrams in the comments/tweet me (probably best to tweet me actually as I’m more likely to check there first) cos I’m always looking for new pretty accounts to follow! ^_^

I took these photos back in January (hence no moon tattoo) after shooting with COW. I literally LIVE in this tee!

I couldn’t reccommmend COW Vintage more for their choice of oversized vintage tees! Also, the skirt I am wearing is one of COW’s re-works, a flannel shirt that they have made into a pretty fly skirt! Check out COW Vintage here>>link

I had a lorra, lorra love on my instagram for the choker I am wearing, I bought it from Black Sheep Boutique & I love it! It’s so simple but so damn awesome, if you are looking for alternative jewellery then Black Sheep Boutique is the place for you! You can visit them here>>link.

Magic Dragon…

Tie Dye Checked Maxi Skirt: H&M (sale)
Double Buckle Belt: H&M
Boots: Ebay
Hat: Topshop
All Jewellery*: DIXI

This amazing MINKPINK top made it’s debut on my instagram (@effiesmakeupbox) the other week after the awesomes at MEEMEE kindly sent it to me. I have worn it so much but only just had chance to photograph it today as the weather has been so bloody crap >.< I have said it before & I will say it again, I love MEEMEE so much! They stock some of the best brands & vintage so you must go & check them out here>link.

All of the jewellery I am wearing is from DIXI. I love the moon & star above knuckle ring & wish necklace, just how I like my jewellery, dainty, but a little bit unusual. As you may already know, I am into crystals & I definitely believe in their energy & healing properties, my favourites, & have been for a long time, to wear ‘every day’ are amethyst & rose quartz & I have been super impressed with my rose quartz from DIXI! A new firm favourite! You can shop DIXI here>link.

Do any of you guys wear &/ use crystals? I would love to know!
