2013 Favourites: Blogs
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
When I started this post I had so many screen shots of blogs that I wanted to include in this post, it was a bit ridiculous! I had to really narrow it down to my favourites - see if you have made the cut! There are a lot of blogs that I have found in the past two months but I didn't want to include them really as this is my yearly favourites. I am going to have some 'share the love' posts coming soon though. I known I am really late with this post but here are my 2013 favourite blogs!
My top blog has to be Elevator Musik - Gillian created my blog design and I love it (she made my sisters blog design too, click here to see). I love Gillian's blog it is so crisp, fresh and just so well put together. Her posts are always really interesting!
In second place is A Beautiful Mess, if you haven't heard of this blog the you need to check it out. It is composed by two sisters in America, they publish DIY, Recipe and style posts which I LOVE. They also have an app which I have been obsessed with for months.
Third place goes to The Sunday Girl, I am sure every beauty blogger knows about this blog. If you want to know about the latest releases and what is yet to be released then this blog is the one to follow. She also posts great concise reviews.
Fourth place is awarded to Etc Lily Melrose, I have been subscribed to her Youtube channel for a year or more and I also love her blog. Her blog is a mixture of makeup looks, reviews and hauls - love it! I also love her style and her new short hair.
Finally fifth place goes to We Were Raised By Wolves, Evelyn's blog is a go to place for natural beauty and skincare product reviews - her reviews are amazing as are her photographs. I love her recently blog design change.
Other blogs that are in my top ten for 2013 are - Love Cloth: insanely amazing outfits and style, Hannah Louise Fashion: Gorgeous outfits and I love her hair, Little Winter: Love the Elevator Musik blog design and her outfits and photographs are always beautiful, Briar Rose: Incredible flame red hair and super cute outfits and finally Black + Grey which is a fairly new blog favourite of mine - her makeup is always gorgeous (as are her blog photos) and her blog design is simple but attractive.
There are my 2013 blog favourites, I am sure there are some missing and I definitely could have included more but I wanted to limit it to 10! What are your favourite blogs of 2013? x

Week in photographs # 26
Sunday, June 23, 2013
My week has consisted of: apps, comfort food, slacking on exercising, lots of sale shopping, getting a First for my degree and being ill.
Well, it has been on interesting week - I will start with the main thing which is... I got a First for my Psychology (Bsc, Hons) degree! I am really happy! I got my result on Tuesday this week and I was so nervous leading up to the day. If you don't know, there are different grades for degrees such as 2:3, 2:2, 2:1 and a First - a First is the highest you can get. I received a couple of balloons and a bottle of champagne and a card from my parents. My friends/neighbours also got me a card and a bottle of Rose wine. I also received a cute money box saying 'shoe fund' from my auntie with some money. I am a very happy heather!
Also this week I have been ill - I have had a horrible cold (which I still have) and a viral throat infection - typical that I had it when it was results day! So I have been slacking on my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred but I have been ill (that's my excuse). I have been comfort eating too (naughty, naughty, I know). The main thing I have been loving, apart from cheesy pasta, is the new Ben and Jerrys Core Peanut Butter Me Up Ice Cream - LOVE IT! It is half vanilla, half peanut butter ice cream with raspberry jam and peanut butter caps *heaven*.
Sale shopping has taken up a lot of my week too - almost everywhere is having a start of summer/mid season sale on. I have bought some bits from H&M, The Body Shop, Topshop and House of Fraser as you can see from the photographs above. The blue H&M nail polish is called 'Blue My Mind' and I think it is a dupe for Nails Inc 'Baker Street'. There will be some sale haul posts coming soon from Zara, The Body Shop, House of Fraser and maybe Etsy. Oh and I also won a Glamour Magazine competition this week - I won the Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette, love it. Get on the House of Fraser, Debenhams or Harrods websites for amazing makeup/beauty sales!
My favourite things this week: The photograph app from A Beautiful Mess (I highly recommend the app and their website/blog). I also love the Dumb Ways To Die app too. My favourite song of the week has to be 'Diana Young' from Vampire Weekend - I cannot stop listening to it! My favourite tv shows this week have been: The White Queen (bbc), Da Vinci's Demons, Benidorm (available on youtube) and The Simpsons! Favourite book this week - Miranda Hart, is it just me? - highly recommend it!
I hope everyone had a great week and don't forget to enter my international giveaway - it ends soon! x
