Power of the Flower

For those of you who read my 'Cheeky trip to Amsterdam' post (click here to view) you will know that I am jetting of to Amsterdam on Thursday. I am beyond excited! I've started packing my suitcase already... AND its snowing over there at the moment! 

I personally think Europeans do Christmas better than us brits, with traditional Christmas markets and proper decorations. I can tell after my short trip away I'm going to come back in my element of the Christmas spirit. 

While I'm there I'm also seeing Swedish House Mafia on the 7th of December, I got a conformation email through the other day about support acts, how to get there, dress code etc. For me its a big thing... WHAT DO I WEAR?!?!?! (suggestions please!!) There going to be filming high lights for their new video so obviously I want to look the part if I'm lucky enough to get caught on camera. I have these black and white striped Topshop shorts I thought I'd team with my leather jacket and boots, but the only thing is that I'm going to be freezing walking there but hot in there... decisions decisions! 

Sorry this post wasn't actually going to be about Amsterdam, but its just all thats on my mind right now! I have been meaning to do an outfit post all week.... so here you go!

Blazer - Topshop

Shirt - H&M

Jumper - Topshop

Jeans - Primark

Collar - Topshop

Nail Varnish - Rimmel, Barry M

I'm going to be doing a post about these nails within the next week so stay tuned to find out how I did it. 

This is the last post before I head to Amsterdam, I'm back on Monday (10th Dec) so I'll definitely do a post of the Tuesday letting you know all about my trip!

Have an amazing weekend (can't believe I'm saying this and its only Tuesday...crazy!)

Thoughts and comments please :) Also I would love to check out some new blogs so post a link and I'll check them out, Thank you.

A Few Pennies Later.... Topshop splurge.

Firstly apologies that this is only my 2nd post this week, I can't explain to you how busy I am right now. Working 2 jobs and managing a social life proves harder than it lets off at times. I've not even done a lot this week, eaten loads of crappy food, spent WAY too much money and slept at every god given opportunity. I can always tell its a busy week when its Thursday (basically Friday) and I still haven't watched Mondays episode of Made In Chelsea.

Anyway I thought I'd let you all in on a secret... As part of a bonus for working at Topshop/Topman all employees were given 15% off vouchers for family and friends, then 30% off vouchers for us. I thought I would make full use of the discount and kick start my Christmas shopping (hence the splurge.) And obviously I managed to find a few picks for myself as well. Like I said in my 1 Month Till Christmas post earlier this week (click here to view) I'm off to Bath tomorrow/today (Friday!) for my boyfriends birthday. I have 1 more voucher to use, so I will let you know if I buy anything else tomorrow.

I haven't take photos of my Christmas presents, but I thought I would show you all what I brought for myself... Let me know your thoughts as always.

Shoes - Topshop 

Underwear - Topshop (3 for £10)

Shoes - Topshop

Shirt - Topshop

Jumper - Topshop

Would love to know what you all think of my purchases or if you've brought anything nice recently. I'll let you all know how my trip in Bath is, and update you on my week in Instagram on the weekend. Click here to see my last 'Week in Instagram' post. To follow me on Instagram its emmageorge_

Have a fab Friday. Thank you.

Christmas Wish List.... So Far!

Well the C word... (Christmas) fast approaching, I thought it would only be right if I shared with you all my Christmas wish list... Never know hopefully someone reading has connections with the big man santa himself and can please let him know what I want.
I always think Christmas would be so much easier if people actually wrote wish lists, and told you what they wanted. Its far better than you buying people things they don't want and that get left to go dusty in a cupboard.

I have asked my parents for money towards a Pandora watch (click here to see.) I had a beautiful vintage leather one (from a charity shop) but the strap broke, I was totally gutted cos I'd had it for years. I've been watch-less for the last 6 months and its becoming a bit ridiculous because I'm always late to places, and I'm forever looking at my wrist to find out the time...which much to my surprise I see a empty wrist every time. I've also asked my sister for a bowler hat from Topshop (click here to see.) I do actually already have a bowler hat, I brought it of a little old hat at Portobello Market in London, but its too big for me so blows away nearly every time I wear it outside. I've already nearly had it run over by a car so I defiantly don't want to take anymore chances!

Would love to know what you all think of my Christmas wish list, and would be so grateful if you want to share any of your wish lists with me. Thank you... Until next time.

I'll Cross My Heart

Well here we are again... Monday. The day everyone dreads. After working all weekend believe me I am up there with the rest of you when I wanted to cry at the sound of my alarm this morning. For a second I even thought it was Tuesday, that was defiantly my mind playing tricks on me.

Todays outfit was very dark, looking at the photos now I'm thinking I should have added a little more colour, even a red lipstick would have a been a start. If any of you saw my week in Instagram post last week (click here to view) you may recognise this shirt. I am in love with it... and guess what?! Its from a charity shop, originally from ASOS. I paid £4.00 for it, bargain of the week! 

I'm a bit obsessed when it comes to charity shopping (I call it chazzing) I just love browsing through the rails and not knowing what you might find. I've found so many good bargains over the years including a real 1960's vintage Louis Vuitton bag, priced at a mere fiver! And just over a year ago I even wrote an article for the local paper in Bristol all about my love for Chazzing! You might not always find things every time you go chazzing, but its so worth popping in regularly as the shops update there stock more than weekly.

Shirt - Chairty Shop (originally from ASOS)

Long Sleeved T-Shirt - Primark

Skirt - Topshop 

Belt - Topshop

Would love to hear you thoughts on this outfit, and let me know if any of you have found any good charity shop bargains too.... Happy Monday!

1 Month Till Christmas!

Heya everyone! I hope you have all had a lovely weekend, and are truly getting into the Christmas spirit... After all today it is 1 MONTH TILL CHRISTMAS!! I feel like such a big child but I am really excited! Today I had my first glass of mulled wine...and I even brought a lush Christmasy dress from Topshop (where else?!) I will defiantly do an outfit post of this dress in the lead up to Christmas. I love the colours and the sparkles, although - warning... the glitter falls off quite easily, by the time I had got it home and tried it on my bedroom floor was already covered in glitter! 

This week I have been the most trigger happy person! I only got my iPhone5 just over a month ago, yet I am still Instagram obsessed (follow emmageorge_) I've been taking loads of photos of Christmassy things, let me know what you think.

Next Friday its my boyfriends birthday, so were popping into Bath where they have a Christmas market on. I've been there a few years ago, and I remember I had some hot chocolate, and there was loads of delicious food tasters. For his birthday I've also booked a surprise visit to Bath Spa, he knows nothing about it so hoping he'll love it. My mum took me there in September, it was amazing to just relax and chill out. They have a pool on the roof of the building, which will be so lovely a night with all the lights. I'm really excited just need Monday - Thursday to fly by... I will let you all know how it all goes.

Your comments, and thoughts please.

Flower Garden

In contrast to my post about last week, this week has been the slowest week ever. All I can say it TGIF!!! (thank god its Friday!) Although sadly I'm working all weekend, it still feels good to be a Friday. I hope you have all had a lovely week. I've been meaning to do an outfit post all week but just haven't got round to it, so I do apologise. I will definitely do some more next week.
This outfit is very girlie, and I have to admit I'm not a massive girly girl but I just loved the collared blouse and the skirt just is an easy wear with any outfit. I've brought myself some collar clips which I actually LOVE! It adds that little bit of detail to any blouse or shirt, and is more subtle than a necklace. If you haven't got your hands on one yet, I would 100% recommend you do, or put it on the Christmas list! Once again, my outfit is head to toe in Topshop...its what happens when you work there!

Blouse - Topshop

Skirt - Topshop

Belt - Vintage

Collar - Topshop

Let me know your thoughts please :) I hope you all have a much more interesting plans for your weekend than me!

My Week in Instagram.

Cheeky trip to Amsterdam

I've literally had Swedish House Mafia's new album 'Until Now' on repeat since it was released. The whole 33 track album is such a good collaboration of all three of the artists, Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastien Ingrosso. It was released just prior to their final world wide tour, which I was unbelievably lucky to get tickets for! 
So I'm off to Amsterdam with my boyfriend to see them on the 7th of December. I am so so excited, especially as I've never been to Amsterdam before. I think its going to be really nice to go around Christmas time, hopefully we'll be able to go to some Christmas markets and get some shopping done. We've booked to go for 5 days just so we can do lots of sight seeing as well, I'm pretty keen to go to the Anne Frank museum and the Van Gough gallery, as well as looking around the red light district, and general other touristy things. 

I will most definatley do a post when I'm back from Amsterdam telling you all about my trip and the concert of course!
Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you
Emma
