Why I love Liverpool

Hi Everyone,

As you may already know I am a proud scouser, Liverpool is my home town and no matter where I go in life I will never forget that. Some find Liverpool hard to understand, opinions vary from person to person but this is all the more reason to experience this beautiful city for yourself. I'm going to get straight to the point and give you guys just a few of the reasons why I love Liverpool!

The people are super friendly
Now I suppose some may find the Scouse accent rather "rough" ?? I can assure you this is not the case. Scousers are famous for warm welcomes and going out of their way to help others. If you are lost or maybe even just fancy a chat there is always someone to talk to willing to help you or genuinely just have a gab and a laugh.

A city filled with Arts and Culture
Liverpool truly is a city of culture. With more museums and art galleries then any other UK city excluding the capital you can't miss the creativity. Now do I even have to mention The Beatles!? Everyone knows Liverpool is their hometown just through listening to their incredible world famous songs. This attracts thousands of tourists each year! and the music scene does not end there! Liverpool is filled with music and it certainly does range. Walking through the city centre you will always come across street performers and new fresh talent. Maybe you fancy a theatre visit? We have a so many venues including Liverpool Empire Theatre which is the second largest in the country. How about something a little more modern? Go for the Echo Arena. You are guaranteed to find something you will love!

Its big but not to big
Sounds like an odd thing to say but it's true! As a student I meet people from outside of the city on a regular basis. They constantly say to me how much they love Liverpool because of it's homely feel. It's the type of city were you can always find something new as its very vibrant and theres always something going on. Don't get me wrong it is big, on a night out or walking through town it is unlikely I will see the same faces because there are so many people. But isn't that great? New people, New faces it never gets boring! Despite the size Liverpool is not a city were you will ever feel lost!

Shopping, Food and Nightlife
Yes we have so much of all the things we love. As a Fashion Communication student and blogger I loveeeee shopping! I don't think I could live in a city that did not have many shops available to me because growing up in Liverpool means everything has always been within easy distance. The shops are also very involved with events in the city for example River Island have horse and jockey mannequins as well as stylist events to promote the oh so famous Grand National (yep thats in Liverpool to) As far as food and night life goes there is a lot of it! Anything to suit your needs theres hundreds of places to try and I assure you if you love a good night out you are guaranteed one in Liverpool.

A new reason to love H&M

Hi everyone!

During my fashion internship I have been recently looking up recent events so I thought I would give you all a little intake on one that stood out to me as something I plan on trying out!

H&M are non stop with an empire of womenswear, mens and kidswear and those oh so spectacular designer collaborations. Now to make things more interesting a 700-piece beauty collection!


Stepping out of their comfort zone H&M have gone all out to create a new line of products including makeup, body care, hair and even styling tools. You name it H&M are soon to have it as of October. 

The range includes so many different colours and textures, the looks you could create are endless. Anything from your natural everyday look to a dramatic smoky eye and bold lip.


Hundreds of eyeshadows, lipsticks, nail polish’s and so on are soon to be available in stores and online. The brand have also made their products suitable for every skin tone by developing 20 different shades of foundation. 

The company also plan on releasing a premium body care and conscious line of eco-friendly products later into the year.

We have high expectations for the new launch such as high end beauty for the high street price. High pigmented eyeshadows with no fall out and long lasting are key. The exterior of the products alone is stunning so it is unlikely you will be disappointed.

Being a new Blogger



Hello everyone!

So now that I have been blogging for just over a month I thought I would share my experience with you. Hopefully this blog will be relatable to others or if you are think about starting a blog I might be able to give you some ideas on what it is like and offer any helpful advice to other new bloggers.

For years I have found myself looking at other blogs for reviews along with everything else, and for years I have been telling myself I really want to do that! and finally I have started!

Here is what I have learnt:

1. Blogging is a great place to meet other like minded people

The blogging community is a great community to be a part of, you meet new people and everyone is friendly and so supportive of each other. 

2. Setting up your blog might feel slightly scary you might think to yourself "What is people don't like it? Who will even read it? What if I am no good at it?" 

My advice to myself and any new bloggers is if you never try then you will never know, it might be hard at first when you think of judgemental people but try to block it out. If your happy then that is whats important so don't ever hold yourself back! Also if you enjoy blogging then I guarantee you will be good at it!

3. It is exciting when someone leaves positive comments

I remember my first few comments, I would refresh my page to see a comment and feel so happy that someone had actually taken time to read my post and leave some feedback! It feels great knowing you have offered advice that has helped others!

4. The double excitement when someone follows you

It feels amazing! Knowing someone likes your blog enough to want to follow you. It's not all about numbers, anything from 5-5000 followers it is just enough to know that people enjoy your blog and thats one of the reasons I like doing it.

5. Page views

Refresh, refresh, refresh! Always refreshing and when you see people from all across the world are coming across your blog its crazy and hard to believe!

6. Staying positive

I don't get disheartened if nobody comments or my page views are not high and others shouldn't either. Remember why you are created a blog! If you enjoy it then when others view, comment and follow then this is just a great bonus to creating a blog.

7. Looking forward to posting

I look forward to my next post. Some people say it can be a chore but I think if it feels like a chore then you shouldn't really be doing it. Sure sometimes it can be hard with Uni and work but when I have time to post I definitely enjoy it!

8. A small note pad becomes essential

Honestly I carry a small note pad and pen in my bag now! Because ideas come up at the most random times! Its a great idea and really helps being able to write it down and then look back later on.

Finally I just want to say a HUGE thank you for everyones support! It feels great knowing you enjoy reading and I will continue to enjoy blogging!

I hope this have helped! Can you relate to this?

Ellie
