Beach Blues

Dress - TK Maxx

Flipflops - Fit Flop

Hola readers!

So the weather has been a bit shitty, and following an extreeemely muddy weekend at Secret Garden Party, I felt it was time to bring some beachy vibes back into your life, and well.. into mine. Nothing cheers me up quite like looking through holiday photos and we took some beautiful ones in Barcelona so here they are! If you didn't check it out before, Danie (instagram: @_luciaphotography), my wonderful best friend AND incredible photographer has been shooting these past few posts, so have a look at her page and give it a follow. 

I'm aware FitFlops are hilarious looking, but they are soo comfy and I don't care. Based on the insane views on my previous fitness post, small tip; these badboys have been the easiest way to tone my legs without having had the chance to go running or keep up with my normal regimes during the intense Barcelona heat. They actually have a 50% sale right now so I'd get in there before other fashionista's grab them all lmao.

I know summer brings that ridiculous stress to look perfect in a bikini but a lot of feeling good about yourself doesn't actually come from looking good. Not that I'm so great at it either, but it all starts with believing you look good and deserve to feel it! Blogging has been my outlet for that, finding a way to feel good about yourself whilst building your own confidence at the same time. Hope I've cheered up your rainy days and also you've enjoyed catching up!

Anyway, thanks for visiting elliemikaela as always, share and comment, it makes me extremely happy!!

Big loves and happy summer-ing!

Transitional Wear

 Grey Maxi Dress - H&m

Cardigan - Primark

Rucksack - Radley

Hiya everyone,

Back to the old style of posts, I keep finding new places around to shoot that don't involve me stepping outside!! This is a cosy number, long knitted layers. Perfect transition from winter to spring as it isn't too thick, but the long sleeve-ness is warm. Went hand in hand with my new-ish cardigan that turned out to be a pretty good investment, it goes with everything and I'm not bored of it yet so expect it in many more posts to come. This dress is basically a reaally long, long sleeved t-shirt, and it's not too tight which means you can sit down and eat in it without fear of looking pregnant and/or feeling uncomfortable. I bought this the other day online, and it arrived a few days ago. Due to clearing out my old stuff on ebay (elsmis2010 if you have a burning desire to buy it)  I have a few extra coins meaning I can online shop. Yay. When I bought this, I didn't think it through at all and well.. when it turned up I realised that I was a lot shorter than the model (duh) and that it is actually not a midi dress.. but more a maxi. Lucky I like it anyway because returning things online is an absolute nightmare. Recently returned my superstars because they were faulty and it has been the biggest headache, honestly I would rather trek to a store than go through that again. I seem to be going through a bit of a monochrome phase, so to lighten it up I added in a dark red lip liner, literally superdrugs own make but it's awesome and I'm pretty sure it cost me £1. 

Anyway, the ucas dread isn't over yet. *drastically rolls eyes* so this is where I shall leave this post.

White on White (Jamaican Remix)

Jeans - Topshop

Vest - H&m

Shoes - Hi-Top Reebok Classics

Earrings - YAAM Jamaican Beach Bar, Berlin

Excuse the many selfies, we went a bit camera mad.. (we being Karmi and I, not 'the royal we')

[PHOTO CREDS TO KARMI FOR TAKING THESE PICTURES OF ME]

Now I know what you're thinking, white on white... bit daring for a child trapped in an 18 year old body, but I am extremely proud to say that I actually spilled NOTHING down myself, this cute outfit remained as wonderfully white as my natural skin colour, unlike the sassy tan I am supporting in these pictures.

I have forever been jealous of girls who can pull off white on white, and I wont lie it took a lot to get me to leave the house, but hey we all have to be a little crazy on holiday.. (This was in Hvar, Crotia just to clear up any confusion) But hey, seeing as we're throwbacking to my summer (and crying because it has ended) Here's a little about my earrings, let me take you to Berlin.. or even better the YAAM Bar next to part of the Berlin Wall......

Oh and thanks to Kiril for footbombing this picture, but your butt is better too *smirks*

You. Are. Welcome. Friends.

Anyway HOW CUTE are these earrings, handmade by a stall owner in the YAAM bar, I wrote about it in my blog post 'Part 1 of Interrailing' so if you haven't read it yet you can go check that out now... (that is your queue to stalk the rest of my blog)

So, if you are ever in Berlin go to Yaam, you will not be disappointed. I PROMISE YOU, IT IS AWESOME. Supposedly the sand that covers the entire space of the bar and surrounding stalls is imported from Jamaican beaches, now I'm not usually one to call b/s but whatever, its cool anyway irrelephant of where the sand came from.

THANKS AS ALWAYS FOR CHECKING ELLIEMIKAELA.COM OUT, 

RETURN SOON!!

Pattern Overdrive

Crotchet Crop Top - eBay

Bandeu - H&m

Trousers - TKMaxx

Earrings - Topshop

Scrunchie - Local Pharmacy ........................ no not DIY soz

Rings - Present from Kp and Camden Markets

Handmade Rucksack - Israeli Vintage Shop

So I hit 15,000 views today which is very exciting and all!!!!

Here's a little 'Ootd' to celebrate, bit of a summer outfit, or maybe a festival lookbook. These trousers are just beaut, although when I wore them out last week a guy came up to me and I quote "woah, really digging the whole pyjama vibe you've got going on, awesome".........................................they aren't pyjamas mate. Oh how I love a good backhanded compliment in the morning.

Anyway, not too much to say about this one, just love a bit of pattern clashing and it seems colour is the new black! yeah yeah 'Orange' too (orange skort ootd will follow) (see what I did there, now you have something to look forward to) (you're welcome lol) Crochet seems to be the look of this festival season, if anyone knows how to do it let me know because I would love to learn, yeah I tried teaching myself..... unsuccessful. This top is v versatile btw, can be worn both ways, as in back and front...not inside out. Obviously with a top/bikini/bandeu underneath or it would be a true 'free the nipple' ad. 

BUT HEY

Thank you so much if you've been reading and supporting this blog, means the world and please continuing reading!

*me rn*

HUGE LOVE AND HUGS TO ALL U BABES

Inter-railing, Part 2

This is merely a continuation of my previous travel post, so I shall not "waffle" (lol) on at all...

THIRD STOP
Prague, Czech Republic

I think prague was one of my favourite places, so so pretty like really beautiful place. The people were lovely, and it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cheap. We stayed at Hostel Orange, the cutest little hostel in the center of one of the main sqaures, that I can't remember the name of but it had some manor house thing at one end of it which looked pretty awesome at night. Apart from the lack of lift, which meant carrying a 20kg suitcase up 7 flights of stairs it was so lovely, definitely recommend it!

Soz for the awful quality, was taken on my phone - but here is the manor thingy;

On one day in the square there were these two musicians playing random drums and pipes and things, I didn't get a chance to catch all of it on camera, but here's a video of what I did get;

Keeping true style throughout the trip, especially in Prague, I had my classic 4 way plaits in- like this:

AND I did them myself 

*awaits applause*

FORTH STOP

Vienna, Austria

So, I can't lie here... we didn't see Austria, it rained non stop so we only left the hostel once, and that was to go out to Ride, some random club that was a sort of weird version of Mahiki.. but Austrian. Anyway, the station was bloody amazing so I got a few pics of that...

Lol so onwards
FIFTH STOP
Budapest

SO WE WENT TO A ZOO YE, n paddle boated on a big lake. Was pretty cool.
Budapest was awesome, I will be returning soon.

If you are a festival go-er.. I found Alan, or Steve. You pick.
And if you aren't and have no idea what I'm referring to, watch this video

Strangest looking animals at this zoo, this bird looks like it has a hat on.... but that's just it's face.

Shoes - Truffles, Amazon

Hope you enjoyed this
