Getting to know me...

It's funny how different you look with a bunch of different make up on! All hail the cringe montage of my face. I promise it's appropriate though, as this is a post with some facts about me, in case you were interested...

1. Are you named after anyone?

No, I think the Doctor in the hospital said 'Emma' is a nice name.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Not sure, I do get a little emotional when I see things on tv though like I get that little throat lump thing if anyone looks upset or their having a tough time.

3. Do you have kids?

Nope.

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

I think so yeah. I'm pretty confident that I'm a good person and I do get on with the majority of people even when their characteristics are very different to mine.

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

When it's effective! In a jokey way.

6. Will you ever Bungee Jump?

No, nada, nine. I'm not into any of that stuff, I think the euphoric feeling comes from realizing your still alive and as I know I am right now, i'm good ha.

7. What's your favorite cereal?

Tricky. Cereal is da bomb. It's probably easier to say that sugar puffs aren't really my favorite.

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?

I always look at girls hair, makeup and clothes, but in a hhmmm that looks nice or i wonder where she got that kind of vibe. I probably look at girls more than lads!

9. What is your eye colour?

Blue.

10. Scary movie or happy endings?

Happy endings. There's not always enough in real life, so movies need to make up for it (deep).

11. Favorite smells?

Cinnamon buns (a particular bakery in London), aftershave and fresh cotton.

12. Summer or winter?

I heart Christmas and all things Christmas related, but I love summer for many reasons. Either way though you can always drink Pimms (check out Winter Pimms here).

13. Computer or television?

I love a good TV series or film, but if i didn't have a computer I wouldn't be able to blog!

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?

America i guess! I've been to LA, Vegas and Arizona. Other than holidays, I did live in Bournemouth at University for years and I had to go to Edinburgh on my Uni placement.

15. Do you have any special talents?

None, I'm always searching for my talent, but so far nothing. 

16. Where were you born?

1990.

17. What are your hobbies?

Blogging, eating, drinking, going out with friends and family and running (occasionally).

18. Do you have any pets?

I have two mischievous cats called Finn and Perry (we did not name them) who we adopted and they are super cute, but a little mental.

19. Favorite movie?

Midnight in Paris.

20. Do you have any siblings?

One younger sister and an older brother.

The Liebster Award

I recently got nominated for The Liebster Award by Rina over here which is super cute of her. I actually was a bit like 'awwh, a what now?' at first because I wasn't too sure what it meant, but basically...

The Liebster Award is given to new bloggers with less than 200 followers to help promote and support new blogs (ooo lovely).

The rules:
- You gotsta link the gorgeous person who nominated you
- Write 11 random facts about yourself
- Answer 11 questions from your previously mentioned gorgeous nominator
- Make your own amazeball questions for your own 11 nominees
Not sure why it's 11, but we can roll with that...

11 random facts about me:

1. I am always cropping/angling my pictures to disguise my above average sized forehead (we measured it in school once and I quickly became a fan of fringes)
2. All my family have 2 middle names
3. I love Molly from the Saturdays
4. I wish I was in the Saturdays
5. I am musically challenged (I can't play any instruments and I can't dance either)
6. Every time I buy a lottery ticket I automatically decide what I am going to do when I win (still waiting...)
7. I have been with my boyfriend since I was 16 years old
8. I love baked goods. I am drawn to bakeries
9. I am an awkward hugger/greeter. Especially, with new people
10. Occasionally I wish I was born in a different era. The kind where everyone wore amazing dresses and you went ball room dancing instead of clubbing and doing tequila shots
11. I am always laughing. I'm pretty sure me and all my friends think we are hilarious

My questions from the lovely Rina:

1. How long have you been blogging and why did you start? I think I have been blogging for about 2 months now. I started because I was reading lots of blogs and felt like I needed to do something creative myself, so viola here it is.
2. How would you describe your style? Hmmm tricky question! Shirts and tailored jackets are a huge part of my style. I think I maybe have a classic meets casual style (basically, who knows!)
3. What/who inspires your blog? I read a bunch of blogs, so definitely fellow bloggers! I try to write stuff that I think I would want to read or know about
4. What's the most memorable outfit you have ever worn? When I was younger I had this fleece with stars on that I decided was magic in some way (what a nutter!) and I remember being gutted when it fell apart
5. What one item couldn't you live without? There are loads of stuff I would love to say, especially make up! But, I think I would say my childhood teddy who takes residence in my room still
6. What is your favorite Fashion Magazine, and is there a specific reason? I am a fan of more mag, as their men overheard section is too funny. Also, they don't have such a big focus on designer goods which I can never afford!
7. If you could have any celebrity wardrobe who's would it be and why? Ahh so many people! I think I would say Lauren Conrad. I think she has serious style and she always wears things that I love
8. What are your favorite songs at the moment? I'm liking Gabrielle Aplin's 'Please don't say you love me' and The Tallest Man On Earth's 'King of Spain' at the mo
9 Cupcakes or doughnuts? CAKE
10. Early Mornings or Late nights? Late nights as I struggle to get up, but I love it when the day lasts forever because you got up nice and early
11. Describe your perfect day... All my friends and family, breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, cocktails, sunshine and some music
