Living in the shadows…

Hat: H&M
Dinosaur Ring: Ebay
Dip Hem Top: Primark
High Waisted Jeans: Miss Selfridge
Boots: (DIY) New Look
Studded Bum Bag: ASOS

So as you all probably know by now, I am a HUGE lover of dinosaurs or anything dinosaur related, so I’m sure you can imagine how happy I was when Liams Mum presented me with this amazing Triceratops ring for Christmas! I know a lot of you have asked already as you have seen it on my instagram but the ring is from ebay (this seller to be precise) As you can see from the GIF, the head moves which makes me love it even more! I mean how many people do you know with moving dinosaur rings?! Eigh? EIGH? ;)

Oh & I can’t get enough of my ASOS studded bumbag, it literally has been attached to my hip since I got it. Totally bringing back the 90’s vibes with this baby! ;)

What do you think of bumbags guys? Would you wear one or do you think they should have been left way behind in the 80’s/90’s?

Clueless…

Red Tartan Oversized Blazer*: Daisy Street
Green tartan playsuit: Topshop
White Shirt: Topshop (old)
Black Jersey Top: New Look
Tights: Primark
Hat: H&M
Peep Toe Suede Boots*: OASAP

So as you can see I took inspiration from Clueless when I put this outfit together as an ode to Wildfoxes newest collection & quite frankly, I love it & want to dress like this every day now! Just call me Cher ;)

I was kindly sent the tartan blazer after attending the Daisy Street event just before Christmas & I am so happy with it! I thought it might clash with my hair, being red & all but I don’t think it looks too bad? It’s a really nice wool material & fits perfectly, oversized but no too oversized if you know what I mean ahahaha & it’s the perfect length too! Thank you very much Daisy Street!

What do you think of outfits like this? Too garish, or perfectly Clueless? ;)

Bowler Hat: H&M
Black & White Jumper: Primark
High Waisted Skinny Jeans: Miss Selfridge
Vans Authentics

Sorry I’ve been a little MIA the past few weeks, a lot of things have been happening in my life away from the internet & my blog has taken a bit of a back seat. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! Aside from the naff side of things that have been going on IRL lots of lovely things have been happening too, having fun with the boy, friends & family, dogs & chickens included ahahaha, I finally met the lovely Kim (Sweet Monday) in real life! Yay, I was caught a little off guard so probably came across as a right weirdo (sorry Kim (‘:) & some exciting shoots with the lovelies at missguided are happening in the the next couple of weeks so I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy :)

This is my new favourite outfit…ever. It’s so comfy yet still looks like I’ve made a little bit of an effort ahahaha. I am going to apologise now because you are all most probably going to get so, so sick of me wearing this hat, I bought it from H&M as a little Christmas present to myself & I haven’t had it off my head since, best £7.99 I ever spent! The jumper is from Primark, I snapped it up in the sales for a fiver, It’s a size 20 so it’s amazingly oversized, just how I like my jumpers, nice & cozy :)

Just a little reminder that you can follow me on instagram (@effiesmakeupbox) if you are at all interested in seeing what I get up to in real life/just want to be nosy ;) also if you have instagram, leave me your username, am I looking for new accounts to follow to fill up my instadash :)

Breathe your smoke into my lungs…

Checked Shirt: Topshop
Striped top: H&M
Faux Fur Stole: ASOS
Skinny Jeans: Miss Selfridge
Boots*: OASAP
Bag*: Marc b

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these jeans! If you follow me on twitter you have probably already seen me raving about them. They are literally THE best jeans that have ever graced my legs. They have everything going for them, super skinny, black, high waisted, super stretchy, don’t go baggy at the knees & most importantly…they are mega comfy! They are on the pricy side of life at £38 big ones, I was lucky enough to get a whopping 60% discount off them though because of my work uniform allowance. If I hadn’t have got the discount, I most probably wouldn’t have  bought them but now I have them, I would say they are more than worth the money if you are looking for the perfect pair of jeans.

The bag is by Marc b & was kindly sent to me by the lovely girls at Etail PR a few weeks ago. It’s such a good sized bag & I love that the strap is adjustable the quality of the bag it’s self is really good quality & the pocket on the front is so useful! It’s definitely a new firm favourite.
