Scrunchies, Leopard Print & Cosy Coats - What I'm Loving At The Moment | Erin

Autumn is just around the corner and I couldn't be any happier! The colder months are the best by far no matter how much I contradict myself by saying how I love sitting out in the sun. After spending a couple of weeks in Portugal soaking it all up and enjoying the last bits of Summer, I'm more ready than ever to get into my jumpers and big coats. In light of this, I thought I'd do a post on all of the things that I'm loving at the moment including those Autumnal pieces that are starting to creep back into my wardrobe.

Scrunchies:

I honestly find scrunchies so cute! I recently purchased a pack of three off ASOS from New Look that were only £3.99 and I just love them. It just adds the cutest little touch to your hair where a normal bobble/hair tie is just plain. They're definitely coming back into fashion, reminding us that you don't have to be at school to be able to pull them off but also bringing back the 90's once again. Totally something that you could buy in every different colour way and pattern and keep buying more to add to your collection. Love them!

Leopard/Animal Print:

This is something I never thought I would be complimenting. I've never looked at an animal print piece of clothing and gone to buy it - until today. For me, growing up, leopard printed clothing especially was something that was stereotypically quite tacky. Always worn as a quite loud outfit with short skirts and usually a lot of skin on show. Somewhere between this, I feel like it's become much more toned down and a lot more wearable shall we say. It's definitely on trend at the moment as it's everywhere you turn and even I've joined the bandwagon and bought myself a bodysuit from Boohoo.

I actually love the colouring on it. It goes so well tucked into high waisted trousers with a belt and leather jacket over the top. As it's a proper bodysuit and doesn't have the poppers, it was really tight on me so after doing some last minute DIY and cutting through the bottom, I managed to style it quite well. Leopard print and other animal prints are a yes from me.

Cosy Coats:

I don't know anyone who doesn't love this season for creating a new coat collection every year - it has to be done. There are so many that I've seen that I already have on my wishlist. After a day trip to Leeds, I found the perfect cosy coat that I was dying to get my hands on the minute I got back (should've just impulse bought at the time I know). Also from New Look, it's so dreamy and being black you know you can't go wrong. It's definitely swayed me more towards the fluffy, teddy coats rather than the more practical parka. I'm also much preferring the mid length, slightly oversized but just right coat.

Culottes:

Literally the comfiest things ever. I wore these on both the plane there and back to Portugal and they're just a dream. I love how breathable they are to wear and it's just so easy to tuck a t-shirt in and be set with them. They're definitely something that again I would never normally wear but have grown to love once I've finally tried them. Considering how thin of a material they are, I wouldn't recommend wearing them going into the colder months but culottes are definitely something that I will be wearing a lot more of in the future and will hopefully get myself a collection going.

YoungBlood/ Shawn Mendes:

Both of these albums have been out for a while now, both with a different sound but I'm still loving them. I've been a fan of both artists since they were starting out so to hear them produce music like this is music to my ears - literally! They have such a good range of songs and just make for two amazing albums. If you haven't heard of them, the artists are 5 Seconds Of Summer and Shawn Mendes.

IntheFrow - The New Fashion Rules

 So this hasn't actually been released yet but I cannot tell you how excited I am to get my hands on it. Victoria is one of my favourite bloggers and I honestly get so inspired by everything of hers, so this is just the cherry on the cake for me! It's amazing that she's been able to achieve this and just the fact that she's written a book makes me so excited. It definitely looks like one for the fashion lovers out there, I just can't wait to read!

The After Series:

Staying on the topic of books and reading, one thing I am loving at the minute is the 'After' series by Anna Todd. If you haven't heard of this already, the series was written as a fanfiction based on Harry Styles and was then published into a series of books. I'm actually really enjoying reading the series as just a normal romance rather than a fanfiction. It's got me back into reading and reminded me of how much I used to love it. It's such a relaxing feeling being able to pick up a book and just take some time out to read it. Definitely one of the best things to do on a rainy night in.

Leave a comment and tell me what you're loving at the minute! I would love to hear from you. Also are you more into the Winter or are you still wishing it was Summer?

We'll be back next week with another post, make sure you go and follow our social medias!

My Holiday Outfit Pics! - Seville + Estepona 2018 | Georgie

My Holiday Outfit Pics! - Seville + Estepona 2018

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog!

It's Georgie writing today and I thought it was about time we uploaded another post since it's been a little while. I returned from holiday last week with plenty of outfit pictures so I thought to myself that I had no excuse to not upload anything since I have plenty of content so here it is.... my holiday outfit pictures:)

I spent about 11 days in Spain with my family and visited some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I might do another post on my actual journey and what we did but for today I'm going to focus on some of my outfits.

OUTFIT 1

One of my favourite outfits of my holiday was this stunning vintage floral style maxi dress in a muted green from ASOS. I wore this for the wedding that we attended which was the main event of the holiday. I knew I wanted this style of dress as I've seen many of my favourite bloggers wear this style and also within some of Dolche and Gabanna's ranges.

I styled this dress by picking out the subtle touches of hot pink that are embedded in the floral design of this dress and finding a pair of heels to match from Kurt Geiger.

I had so many lovely complements on this dress on the day and from friends and I loved wearing this outfit, especially in Spain as the movement of the dress made me feel a bit like a flamenco dancer haha.

OUTFIT 2

 

This neutral toned jumpsuit I actually bought on one of the first days in Seville from Pull and Bear and I can honestly say it is one of the most comfortable items of clothing I've ever worn. I always love jumpsuit as I feel that they are so flattering and make it look like you've put a lot more effort into your outfit that you probably have:/

I just paired it with a pair of white trainers which I funnily enough bought from Pull and Bear a couple of years ago but I mainly wore them for comfort reasons and they served me while on this trip with all the city walking.

I am looking slightly podgy on here however this was before I gave up the beer hehe.

OUTFIT 3

 

The day after the wedding we attended a pool party held by the bride and groom and I had to take advantage of the amazing pool floats to get some Insta picks!

I'm not so keen on these pictures of me however I loved this classic white halter neck swimsuit which my mum picked up for me in the Next sale.

It's had a slight crochet detailing however I loved the simplicity of it and it was so comfortable to wear for the day. 

I actually wore it with wedges from French Connection and wore a kaftan over the top during the meal section of the day.

OUTFIT 4

 

Once again I hate these pictures however I thought I would include it in the post because a little extra content never hurt anyone. 

I've had this Topshop burnt orange playsuit for a few years and it has certainly served me well on my holiday since I purchased it. I wore this for exploring the Seville city during the day as it is so comfortable. Once again, I wore this with my white Pull and Bear trainers.

My bag which you will see in a few of my pictures is an autumn green shade in a suede fabric from TOPSHOP and my sunglasses are from River Island.

OUTFIT 5

 

Unfortunately these pictures are a little dark however I loved this simple white midi dress that I paired with my tan French Connection wedges.

This dress was originally from New Look however it was actually my Mum's and she said that she used to wear it before I was born! So good luck finding this one again haha.

OUTFIT 6

 

I must say that I think that this was one of my favourite outfits from my holiday (featuring the mother). In these pictures, I am wearing cream wide leg trousers with black tie up River Island heels and a black scrappy vest. 

I wore this for the pre-wedding day evening meal which was appropriate for these trousers with them being a rather thick fabric so they would've been way too warm to wear during the day.

OUTFIT 7

 

Last but not least is this stunning crochet cream dress from ASOS which I bought a couple of years ago which I paired with a very simple pair of nude heels from NEXT.

I love the 70s vibes from this dress and I think that it fitted in beautifully with the Seville surroundings and the Botanical plants outside of our apartment.

So that is it for this weeks blog post!

There was a couple of outfits that I didn't manage to get the best pictures of however I did include in my summer lookbook on my YouTube channel so make sure to check it out:

MY FAVOURITE YOUTUBERS | GEORGIE

Hi everyone and welcome back to Until Wednesday. I don't know if this is a bit random but today I thought I'd share my favorite YouTubers with you. I've split them into categories; Entertainment, Beauty/ Fashion and Photography/ Filmmaking. Hope you enjoy!

ENTERTAINMENT

SHANE DAWSON

Shane is probably my favorite YouTuber ever. He has really original content and his videos have me in hysterics. He does a mixture of conspiracy theories but he also creates mini-series which feature his friendship group who are the most entertaining bunch of people to watch on YouTube. If you like theories like me or if you want something more light-hearted then you will love his videos.

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

SWITCHING LIVES WITH A BLIND PERSON or MINDBLOWING CONSPIRACY THEORIES

JAACKMATE

This guy is pretty controversial sometimes. His opinions can come on pretty strong, but his delivery is hilarious and makes me laugh so much. If you don't like sarcastic jokes or if you don't have the best sense of humor then his channel probably isn't for you. He can be very David Brent which is just another reason I love his channel.

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

ZOELLA'S £50 ADVENT CALANDER or LOVE ISLAND IS BACK

XO

XO is a pretty new channel however it consists of four existing creators on YouTube that have come together a few months ago to create XO. The creators are TrueGeordie, his friend Lawrence, WillNE and Stephen Tries which is a great mixture as I loved the videos of all four of them already. Their channel is mainly football based however they also cover other areas on podcasts which are pretty funny. I would say this is another one of those channels that you should only watch if you don't take jokes too seriously.

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

XO LIFE ADVICE or LIE DETECTOR

SIDEMEN

I know this is a bit generic but I do still like watching the Sidemen, I mean they are pretty entertaining. If you don't know who The Sidemen are, then basically it's a group of lads on YouTube who owns a group channel together. I like their dynamics as a group is it's a good video if you fancy a laugh. However, it's probably not for everyone.

FAVORITE VIDEO:

BEAUTY/ FASHION VLOGGERS

LAUREN ELIZABETH

Okay, so I started watching Lauren Elizabeth a few years ago.  I like to watch her videos because of her style, and her home decor as I feel that I have a very similar taste to her, therefore, I love to hear her recommendations on brands and products. If you like the minimal but modern aesthetic that she has and that I LOVE then make sure to check out her Instagram too!

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

EASY SUMMER NO MAKEUP, MAKEUP LOOK

NIKA ERCULJ

Honestly, I don't know how to pronounce her second name, but even still I love her videos. She has a great personality and I love the aesthetic of her videos and Instagram (I know this is liking videos for the wrong reason haha). Her content consists of a lot of TIPS videos, fashion hauls and how to live a happy and healthy lifestyle. I really like her positive attitude and her bubbly personality.

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

MINIMALISM- HOW TO DECLUTTER (because I need all the help I can get hahaha).

HELLO OCTOBER

Another YouTuber/ blogger with a great theme and aesthetic but also some great videos for people who love Fashion and Beauty. She is one of my favorite British content creators and I'm not going to lie, she lives a pretty cool life by getting invited to some amazing travel experiences and events with huge brands in the industry.

FAVORITE VIDEO: 

ZARA HAUL or WHAT I WORE IN NEW YORK

IN THE FROW

In The Frow may be my favorite Fashion vlogger. I have watched her for a few years now and continue to love her opinions on Fashion. She has an amazing, classy style and always looks so put together. Once again, Victoria (her real name) gets invited to some of the most amazing events and holidays which she puts on her channel along with hauls and lookbooks.

I'm going to do a bit of self-promo not (hehe) and say that you should check out my YouTube channel if you haven't seen it before. I haven't uplaoded a video in a while for a few reasons however I have loads of ideas for videos that I am planning and will be up soon so make sure you subscribe to see when they go up.

My channel is just Georgie Hardy and I only have 54 subscribers at the moment so any help would be much appreciated!!

Festival Season | Missguided Edit | Erin

The festival season is fast approaching in the UK with the fashion trends getting even crazier than ever before. Festival fashion has got to be easy to wear and comfortable. No one wants to be stuck in skin tight clothing in the scorching summer heat. Festivals are definitely one of the best opportunities to be completely creative and out there with what you wear. 

I've been searching on Missguided to find you the perfect pieces to wear at a festival which are not only amazing but so affordable! 

 CHROME/METALLIC: 

These jackets are perfect for a festival. They're so lightweight but they fit with the theme so well and the chrome or metallic print is always popular. I love that it comes in the two different colours but they're not too full on. 
The jacket is £25

CROTCHET

These two tops are the perfect mix of still looking good but going to a festival type looks. I think they're pretty but at the same time they stand out from a normal cropped top or bralet. Very festival-friendly.
On the left: £15, On the right: £22

HIGH WAIST, FRAYED SHORT 






 






 

I loved the look of these shorts in both the blue and white denim. The high waisted with a bit of fraying on the edges shorts are a staple piece at a festival. They're so flattering and can be worn with anything. They're much more practical than a flared trouser is for example seeing as we are in Britain and the fields our festivals are held in have a 99% chance of being muddy. 
  The shorts are £20

SEQUINS 

















This is probably one of the only times you can go all out on the sequins. The more popular choice with this is probably the disk sequins just because they create more of a look rather than just a sparkly bit of clothing if that makes sense (I know what I mean). But I like the way that its not just reserved for glamourous nights. Festivals can do sequins as well. 
From top to bottom: £18, £40 £24, £25 £15, £40 £24
















 THE FLARED LOOK 















 
 I feel like flares are a classic piece at a festival. For the person wearing them, they're the perfect combination of stylish and easy wearing. Snakeskin is something that seems to have crept back into style and so the combination of the flared trousers with that pattern gives a very 70s vibe. I love what Missguided has to offer with this.
 Top £25 £15, Trousers £22 £13

RETRO/ CO-ORD 
 

Finding a good co ord is sometimes a challenge but I think this one is perfect for a festival. Not too heavy and would look great with one of the jackets from earlier. The retro style is always around in fashion but it still appears at festivals along with more of a sporty look. I love this jacket and think it looks good quality, retro looking and not too heavy either.
Co-ord Top £20, Co-ord Skirt £25, Jacket £25

 SCOOP NECK













 
Personally, I'm not a fan of a scoop neck because of the cleavage requirements that they usually come with (I know some of you will be able to relate). I have however found some easy wearing, mainly bodysuits that will go down well in your festival wardrobe. Very reasonably priced and they give again almost a sporty look. I love the Barbie collection on Missguided and I know that it will go down well with most of you reading this! The camo look along with it is something that I think will be popular as well, especially for the event.

From top to bottom: £10, £18 £8, £12, £25 £15

ACCESSORIES 




 











Everyone is glitter mad these days so its not unlikely that people will be covered head to toe in the stuff but I've found something that's a bit more stand out and gives you more of a statement piece to your outfit. These jewels that stick to your body give you the extra finishing touch to your overall look. A bum bag is a must but this one comes across your body which I think is even better than on your waist. Both aren't bad in price at all and just great little accessories to have.
Bag £15, Jewels £8 £4


 I hope my picks gave you a little bit more inspiration of things to wear if you're going to any festivals this summer! I've included the links to each photograph so you can find everything I've talked about. All the clothing on Missguided is so reasonably priced and there always seems to be some sort of offer on so I would keep an eye out for those. There's some really nice stuff on there and I would definitely recommend it, especially for if you're wanting clothing for something like a festival.

Thank you all for reading, Georgie will be back next week with another post!

Until Wednesday
