Thinking out loud...


‘Dark days’ knitted jumper*: Evil Twin @ Meemee.com
Denim cut of shorts: Topshop (DIY’ed) 
Pointy block heel boots: Cheap Monday via ASOS

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

How cool is this jumper?! I love a bit of Evil Twin & find it quite hard to find genuinely good UK stockists so when I saw that MEEMEE have started stocking a bit of ET I was SO EXCITED!

I’ve mentioned MeeMee.com on here before a couple of times (a wee while ago) & I can’t recommend them enough, you can check out their website here>link. They have currently got a load of new festive goodies in their new in section (you won’t regret taking a look, promise! Well, your bank account might but hey, life is short!) ^_^

 Have you ever shopped with MeeMee? What's you're favorite piece on the site? :)

Yellow flicker beat...

Hi guys! Sorry for the iphone quality outfit photo but I thought, just as I'm getting re-settled, I would post a few quick & easy OOTD's for you to tide you over ;)

I have been after a khaki duster coat for what feels like an AGE, & there are plenty of really nice ones around (here, here, here & here as examples) but I just couldn't find the 'perfect one for me, whether it be because the khaki wasn't green enough, the length/material wasn't what I was after or the fact that all the super pretty ones were WAAAY out of my price range. So when I saw this Topshop beauty on good old ebay (brand new for £35 less than in store) I couldn't say no >.<

What do you guys think of the duster coat / jacket trend? Are they something you have been investing in the past few seasons?

Follow me on Instagram @effiesmakeupbox here>link for more OOTD's

OK so while I am still getting round to sorting my camera out, I thought it would be nice to do a bit of a flash back of an old shoot I did back in January with WE ARE COW.

Now if you haven't heard of them before, they are an awesome vintage clothing company based in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham & Nottingham but if you can't make it to any of their stores you can shop online here>link . Seriously, you should give them a check!

(You might recognise my little dino shoot buddy (': from this post>link isn't he just the freaking cutest! ^_^) Also, there is no guarantee that you will find the items I am wearing on the site but there will be many similar :) Happy shopping! ^_^ www.wearecow.com

Boo!

Well, hi again!, long time no freaking see again >.< Basically because my laptop is a hot mess & my camera is awol (all the lols)

This post is a little random but I thought it might be a nice ‘ice breaker’ back into the blogosphere. If you follow my instagram @effiesmakeupbox you will have probably already seen some of these photos (if you don’t, then go & follow, I promise my feed is pretty OK (a no belfie zone but still pretty good ;)

So yeah, this post is pretty self explanatory really, I dressed up as quite a few bits & bobs this Halloween (Ariel being my favourite, closely followed by Lydia Deetz) Gotta love a bit of Halloween cosplay! & then there are the obligatory pumpkins, I swear we pick something harder & harder each year to carve, this year being Groot & Star Lorde from Guardians Of The Galaxy (SUCH a good film!)

Anyway, I think it’s nice to be back? I’m gonna stop rambling now & let you get on with the rest of your Sundays :) What did you guys dress up as for Halloween? Also, leave your instagrams in the comments/tweet me (probably best to tweet me actually as I’m more likely to check there first) cos I’m always looking for new pretty accounts to follow! ^_^
