Glam Sandals

Following one of my earlier posts about Royal Blue, I dug out some sandals I bought from Topshop at the end of summer. They were one of the last pairs of shoes in the whole sale!



Do you like them? I do.



And can you guess how much they were? A measly £5. Because nobody wanted them :(




Silly people didn't realise just how fashionable Royal Blue would become this summer. And even when Royal Blue is not so in fashion, these shoes are still lovely. They're plastic actually so they're great for water fights and padding around the beach/poolside.

Much love,

Emma

Well I guess it would be nice...

This post has nothing whatsoever to do with fashion, but I'm sure my readers won't mind too much if every so often I write just about some things that make me happy. Maybe I should change my blog title to:

Emma Loves Fashion (and random things that make my day)

Or maybe not.

I don't know about you, but I like reading posts about happy things and happy people. The happiness reflects in my mood.

Anyway, just to prove my point that this post has NOTHING TO DO WITH FASHION WHATSOEVER, here is my outfit from today:


Classic jeans and black t-shirt: Nothing special.

Haha! The one with the weird hand gestures is an action-pose from when I was telling my brother: 'Make sure you get my entire body in, yeah? From head to toe.' It's turned out to be my favourite picture. (That's an apple in my hand btw. Nom nom nom)




So I was out and about in Town today with my umbrella, and
Oh my days, the weather was terrible. Drizzly, cold, and cloudy.
I was just crossing the High Street and passed a busker, whom we'll call Mr. Busker, playing his acoustic guitar. He was playing Go-Ya-Ha by Phil Collins, and he had a pretty nice voice.

At this point, I wasn't playing all that much attention. But generally speaking, I feel rude if I just pretend Buskers aren't there, particularly today when it couldn't have been much fun for him to sit and play in the cold and rain.

So I flashed him a smile, not a silly shy smile, a Real, Proper Smile, like this:

:D

And just as I passed him close by, suddenly, like, real suddenly, he stops Go-Ya-Ha and begins another song which I didn't recognise, but I remembered the first line:


Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body, I know not everybody, has gotta body like you!

And I can't tell you just how nice it was to have Mr. Busker sing this little song, just for me, on this cold and rainy day. He might have noticed that I was looking pretty miserable or he might have been complimenting me, I don't know.

I also don't know if anyone noticed his sudden change of tune, or if this little exchange of communication between us was our little secret :P


But, I'm telling you, it really, really made my day.


I Youtubed this line when I got back, and found it's from Faith, by George Michael.
So here's the song. It makes me think happy thoughts.


I'm sorry to say I didn't tip Mr. Busker because I didn't go back that way. But I assure you, if I see Mr. Busker again, I will.

If it's raining where you are, Dear Reader, or if you're just feeling blue for whatever reason, I hope this post puts a smile on your face like it has for me.

:)


Much love,

Emma

Something I am very keen to try

I know this post isn't exactly glamourous, but I'm trying to be realistic here!

Cellulite has never bothered me before but for some reason, it does now. So I've been browsing around trying to find ways to combat it.

Cellulite is notorious for being hard to get rid of and I've heard all sorts of ways to try, body brushing and anti-cellulite creams being the main two.

I've been trying to drink three pints of water a day too to reduce toxins and keep me hydrated.

The main product that really got my attention is this:



Sanctuary Spa Results Cellulite Massager, £7.99 from Boots.

It's for massaging areas of the body with cellulite to boost circulation and reduce the orange-peel effect.

Unfortunately, there are no reviews of this on the Boots website. But I'm going to give it ago and write the first review myself!

Fingers crossed it might actually make a bit of difference in time for bikini parades.

Much love,

Emma

She mentioned me :')

I just had to share this with my readers because it just made me so happy!

This is the link to OVERTLY GRAND, a blog by a blogger called Sahara Patel. Her latest post is about her interview with Becca from

(whom, you must surely know by now, I am a huge fan of).

In her interview, Becca says she likes my blog!

So check it out!

Ahaa, I must be doing something right.

Much love,
