Yay for my new background! ^_^ Liam was kind enough to help me take these after the trouble I’ve had with my tripod ahahaha, thank you Liam (‘:

This outfit is officially my new favourite, I love the layers & the fact that it’s all black except for the band of sequins. It has definitely got me in the mood for Autumn. You have probably seen this skirt before if you follow me on instagram (@effiesmakeupbox) as I have been instagramming it, & it’s sisters, like mad the past week or so. I love it & I know quite a lot of you guys love it too so you will be happy to hear that they are live on the missguided site now so snap yours up while you can!

The hamsa bracelet was courtesy of The Pretty Junk. I literally haven’t taken it off since it arrived. I love that it’s really quite dainty but still eye catching & the fact that it goes with everything that I wear is awesome! If you haven’t already checked out The Pretty Junk, you really should. As well as selling all sorts of amazing jewellery & accessories they also have a huge range of vintage & modern clothes that you will fall in love with! Check them out here>link.

The Death Of Professor X...

Sequin shorts*: Fashion Frank
Xmen t-shirt: Junkfood via TK Maxx
Faux leather backpack*: Shoppalu
Boots*: OASAP
Beanie: ASOS

I can’t quite get over how awesome these Fashion Frank shorts are & they are so comfy! They’d be awesome to dress up & wear out but I wanted to see how well I could dress them down so they are more everyday wearable & I think I have succeeded. They are just the right amount of bling for ‘everyday’ wear.

This is the last Sunday I will be blogging from our little home in Spain. We come back to England on Friday so we have been spending the last few weeks packing & cleaning & I’ve been updating my CV & applying for jobs. It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we first arrived here, with nowhere to live. It’s been such a great year, we are definitely going to miss Pamplona. It would be lovely to stay but alas, Liam has to finish his last year at Uni & I am quite eager to start working again, I know that must sound crazy to most of you but this year is the first time since I was 14 that I haven’t had a job & have had completely to rely on someone else. (& I do actually quite like working!) It was really weird at first & I didn’t quite know what to do with myself but hey, it gave me more time to concentrate on this, my blog, my wee space on the internet, which has been amazing. ‘effiesmakeupbox’ has changed & grown so much over the past year & I am more happy with it than ever. I have to thank Liam (he’s become quite the photographer ;)) for this as he has put up with taking photos of me in all kinds of moods & weather as well as working on his own assignments & it definitely wouldn’t be like it is without him. <3

Anyway, I have quite a few blog posts drafted so that I still have things to post while were settling back in at home as I’m guessing I’m going to be pretty busy, so don’t worry (not that you probably are) I will still be posting regularly. All I have to do when we gat back is find a decent outdoor space to take outfit photos, eee the woes of blogging eigh? Ahahaha! I’m sure I’ll find one somewhere. (I hope) ;) Also, another great reason to come home, I may actually be able to attend one of these blogger events that I get invited to & can never go to (finally) sometime & meet some you lovely bloggy people! #exciting

Well, this turned out to be quite a lengthy, rambly post didn’t it? Sorry about that ;) Speak soon lovelies. xx
