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!

Free Ya Nipples in Barcelona!

White Jeans - Mango

DIY Tie Top

Leather Backpack - Radley

Shoes - Superstars

Hiya all!

Welcome back to my blog, been a little absent recently but I thought I'd bring it all back with an extremely colourful post taken in the beautiful Barcelona!! Recently spent a week there and I have to say I completely fell in love with the place, from the Gothic Quarter to Park Guell. Everything about the city is incredible and I hope to live there one day. All photo's were taken by my extremely talented friend Dan (seen in pictures below). She's set up a photography instagram, her photographs are insane, will be well worth a follow. Search for @_luciaphotography to give her a look and a follow. All my links are at the end of each post so give each a follow too.

I love how when you go to other countries you can wear literally anything you want. The mixture of the hot weather and also removing the possibilities of running into everyone you know, makes dressing much more fun. So I thought I'd brave this (slightly) see-through little boobtube, at the time I was pretty unaware how see-through it was.. but hey! Free ya nips girls! This top was actually part of a dress that my friend cut in half, but I think it works pretty well like this. The tie-up-back is really pretty too, watch out for this style in every material I have now ha. Anyway, welcome to me tanned. Isn't it nice when the camera doesn't reflect off your skin and white out the photo? I believe so. I even wear white, how grown up is that?! 

So that's it from me for the moment, I have quite a few more posts coming up so keep an eye out!

Love to all who read, make sure you return and bring friends!

Peace and love people xo

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.

Bauble Gloves

Coat - Gant

Turtleneck Dress/Top - Ellesse

Silk Scarf and Hoops - Bastille Markets

Necklace - Portuguese Coin on Chain

Gloves - No idea soz

Sparkly Socks - Primark

Shoes - La Moda

Lip liner - 08 'Red Blush' (Superdrug for like £1)

Hey hey!!

I've worked out how to balance my blog and my uni work now, so I'm back to posting once a week. Yay.

*cheer erupts from the crowd*

If you know me well, you will notice that the above outfit is basically what I wear everyday; an over-sized turtleneck top that I used to wear skiing as a dress, pair of tights and either boots or trainers. Not even joking, the amount of these turtlenecks I have my wardrobe looks like Homer Simpsons. You literally can't go wrong with this, it's pretty much all black meaning you don't have to think about clashing what you're wearing with your coat and it is amazingly comfy. Nothing tight so you can eat 5 meals that day, and it is almost acceptable to wear out to dinner if you were having a good face and hair day. 

But obviously, as this is a 'style' blog, I decided to jazz it up a bit for you all. How snazzy are these gloves, well fingerless things?!?!? My mum's friend bought them for me as an 18th birthday pressie, and I've rediscovered them. They are actually cashmere or something else fancy, making me feel a bit prestige. I did actually try to pick off the balls (lol), but eventually decided it wasn't worth it. They're like a Christmas tree on my hands!! I'm a walking bauble. On that note, 32 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! So if any of you loooooooooooovely people feel like sending me gifts I wouldn't object, I'm not picky, so send away!!! 

Red lips are very christmassy aren't they. But I always find with my Mac 'Russian Red' as its matte, my lips get soo dry so wearing it, and in Winter it's an absolute mare. But this colour actually stays on pretty well and it was only £1. (£1?!?!?!!?) I've always found with things like eyeliner and lip liners the cheap ones are as good as the expensive, and even if they aren't... you've lost like a pound so it's not really the end of the world. Superdrug stock thousands, it's like a secret liner world.

I'm still searching for the 'perfect' winter coat, but I don't know whether I'm feeling a sheepskin aviator jacket or like a long wool duster, if you lot know of great places to get either PLS let me know. I can't go on like this without one. *dramatic swoon*

SO YE.

That is all for this week!

Thanks for visiting, love to you all!!

If you don't want to get me a Christmas pressie, then I will accept you following my other social media's as a gift instead.
