The Autumn Tag


Hello my Super Lovelies :)
I have been wanting to do this 'Autumn Tag' ever since Sinead from Dreaming Again nicely nominated all of her blogging friends. I do consider her as a blogging friend as I do thoroughly enjoy her writing & pictures.
I love doing 'tags', they are so much fun, especially when you feel as though you can't decide what to write about. For me, I find it ok to come up with ideas on blogging, but for some, inspiration comes in different ways.

I love Autumn for its reasons of getting dressed in wooley jumpers & tights. Having hot-chocolate everyday and not looking like a kid... "with cream I may add", sheepishly :)
There's the whole duvet day as well, beside the fire with a cuppa, watching some great tv or even reading a great book.
Being cozy is what makes me happy.

So... let's carry on with My Autumn Tag, shall we?

Favourite thing about it?
I just love the idea of when you come home from a freezing day, that I get to jump into my snuggest PJs, have a hot-water bottle readied up, along with a cup of hot chocolate and be able to lie down on my couch watching tv with the blazing fire.

Favourite Drink?
Semi-skimmed Hot-chocolate with cream of course (Starbucks do a marvelous job on their ones).When August hit us, I started immediately into the hot cocos. (In summer I felt like a kid having it, counting the marshmallows but there's nothing strange looking when having it now in Autumn!)

Favourite scent/candle?
Well my Mums scent always reminds me of the chilly weather, 'Coco Chanel', I don't mean nothing mean like she's a cold person, I just like her to wear it, it's her own scent. And well I usually have the same candle scents for Autumn, as well for Winter. So there's 'Red Berry & Cedar' and 'Red Apple Wreath'. Both give off a warm sort of smell to me. I love my candles and scents.

Best Lipstick?
Well usually I'd wear quite dark coloured lipsticks for Autumn because of the clothes I style. I'm currently wearing my 'Rimmel Midnight Plum' lipstick with a touch of gloss.

Go to Moisturizer?
I've been sticking to my 'Vaseline' moisturizer for a long time now. (I've used up my 'Kate Moss Moisturizer').

Go to the Colour of the Eyes?
I love wearing purples, golds & a brown combination. From 'NYC' collection and 'Isa Dora' Collection of eye-shadows.

Favourite music Singer/Band to listen to?
At this time of the year I stick to more acoustic singers and more emotional soul singers :) Like today I've been listening to Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and a little of Ed Sheeran.

Favourite Outfit to Wear?
There's 2 choices. First being; the knitted rainbow coloured skirt, with black woolly tights and separate woolly socks over them, brown ankle boots with gold plating on the heel and toe, with a silky peter pan top. And the second being; just a pair of simple skinny, denim, dark jeans, heeled boots, baggy pastel coloured woolly jumper and simple accessories.

Autumn Treat?
Going to the cinema with friends, popcorn and chocolate included, heehee, when the weather is at its most miserable timing with rain (and dried up trees... poor sad trees :(

Favourite Place to be?
At home in my PJs, watching some 'Downton Abbey' with the fire ablaze :) Such a feeling of tranquility and coziness.

I Tag?
I want to tag everyone who has followed me throughout this year, the peeps who have suffered with my every slurred sentance :) I wouldn't really be doing these posts if it weren't for ye! So give it a go everyone... AUTUMN IS FUN :D

I hope you enjoyed this post guys, and thanks so so much for reading :)
Love you lots my friendly peeps, x

30 Day Snap #18 | London Check List


Ello rummy chummys,
I hope you're all keeping active with this snap challenge :)
I'm pretty normal these last few days, just plain pictures. But hopefully that'll all change when the gang arrive from Ireland... my lil brother and my best friend... check her out on bloglovin or blogger, EdelBelle... if your into books well she's the right person for you.

Anyway I wrote out a list on what we will be up to when they arrive.

Cinema trips
We all equally love the cinema. Its one of my favourite places in the world. Like you can find a Cinema anywhere in the world... buuut I doubt there's one in the Sahara Desert... hmm, someone needs to get working on that.
But, ah yeah, cinema, we have 'Man of Steel' and 'Hangover Part 3' already chosen. CAN NOT WAIT!

London
We'll be hitting the clothes shops, bookstores, Museums and probably end up buying a lot of crap. Stuff that has no purpose or function whatsoever. Plus I love the rhythm that London has along with its quirky, vintage shops, the street entertainment and cosy cafes.

Camden Markets
I've never been, but it's greatly known to have it's stalls of designer clothes, accessories at great prices. I'll end up buying my clothes there, even though I know perfectly well I'll  get lost in London's Primark.

Harry Potter Studios
This place I hope is a definite. I am the biggest fan of the Harry Potter books and movies, and so is my best friend and brother. So we'll have a brilliant day out. I just can't wait to see everything. And with some hope I could buy a gift for myself... sounds so childish... and selfish, heehee.

The list also has things we'll be getting up to back home, movie nights, walks, just relaxing really.

Let me in on what other places that should be visited in London.

30 Day Snap #10 | Laptop Time


Heya heya heya :) 
Well I haven't really had much time with my tv shows or vlogs, so tonight I can get lost on my ipod and catch up on my emails and stuff. I know it is important to have time away from technology and focus on more important things like family and friends but I love winding down scanning through twitter and tumblr. 

Today was really a lazy day for me. Just watching telly, making a right fool of myself to an exercise DVD :) Haaa! And dancing in the living room to Nat King Cole... God I love Jazz music.

But I love lazy days, days where your by yourself, able to think. And being here in London, the atmosphere is so different. The pace is so fast. Everyone is moving.

I'm beginning to catch the accent as well over here... "Yeah aww right mate..... Moaning Governor..... tea and crumpets darlin'?.... hows Big Ben?"
Maybe with the English accent I may SOUND smarter! My looks won't work though! Oompa loompas aren't smart, well just about chocolate... we know our chocolate ;) We get such terrible tans though, pity really....ah well, c'est la vie.

Anyway if anyone knows of any workout dvds let me know, cos they're great for making you feel like a right idiot. And I embrace that.

30 Day Snap #8 | Summer Fair

Bonjour mes amis,
 Well I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I thought I'd love going places the whole time but hey back home in Ireland I'm not used to it. I usually just stay home one or two days of the week. So... I'M EXHAUSTED LIKE! But a cup of tea lifts my spirit.


I went to a Summer Fair today and met some people that were friendly and interesting. Some kid hit my cousins face so I got protective and went looking for the kid, heehee. There was a jazz band playing as well, sorta cool :)
And I found the most loveliest tea sets... I actually thought about stealing them... I know I'm awful! Stealing a cup! What if I was caught?

Send on your blog links if you like, cos I'm looking around later on to see what everyone is at.

30 Day Snap #5 | Comfy Time

Hellllooooo! 
Well today guys I just went around some shops and to the park today. So I decided to show you a picture of how I'm spending my night.


What else would i be doing, but having a blueberry muffin, with a cuppa and watching "Coyote Ugly".

I find it more relaxing having a cuppa, with a book or watching the telly, rather than going out to noisy nightclubs where your screaming to be heard, and feeling self-conscience about your appearance. 
So I'm pretty happy with the way I am, just having a simple night in with friends, watching a good movie.

So guys don't forget that nobody should change you, that it is all up to yourself.
I hope everyone is enjoying this 30 day snap challenge as much as me :)
