The Liebster Award

I have been nominated!

Hello Everyone! Today is a pretty special day as I have been nominated for The Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe Francis. So thanks again to her for nominating me!

The Leibster Award is aimed for new bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and it helps people to discover new blogs, so you can build up a wider audience.

The Rules of The Liebster Award:

1) You must link back to the person that nominated you

2) You must answer the 11 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you

3) You must pick 11 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers

4) You must come up with 11 questions for your nominees to answer

5) You must go to their blogs and notify your nominees

Questions from Chloe Francis ..

1) You are only allowed to use one beauty product for the rest of your life - What is it?

It's a tough question but I would have to choose concealer because it is my best friend. It covers any imperfections, and wearing concealer alone, makes my skin look a lot more flawless. It just does the job I need it to do, and I couldn't live without it.
2) Where is your favourite holiday destination?

Portugal by far! I go there every year and it is just amazing, the weather is beautiful and the desinations on the Algarve we go to are gorgeous.
3) What is your favourite music album right now?

I've been loving all different types of songs recently, so I would have to say 'Now That's What I Call Music 85' because it features so many different varieties.
4) What was the first ever makeup product you owned?

If I remember rightly, when I was about 10, I got an eyeshadow set full of pink and purple colours.
5) What made you start blogging?

I had been watching Zoella, Tanya Burr and SprinkleOfGlitter on YouTube, and I had been reading their blogs for a while, and I thought it was a good idea to start one myself because it looked like a fun hobby and I quite like makeup and beauty related things.
6) Where do you want to be in 10 years time?

Hopefully doing something to do with the film/tv industry, whether it's infront of the camera, or behind the camera.
7) Where is your favourite place to shop?

For clothes, I would have to say Topshop, and for beauty products I would choose Boots.
8) What is your favourite movie?

My all time favourite films are the Harry Potter collection or LOL.
9) What is your favourite type of clothing?

Either Topshop, or atmosphere in Primark can have some very nice things.
10) The deal breaker question... Cats or Dogs?

I have to say Dogs because I'm allergic to Cats.

11) One random fact about yourself?

My random fact is that I'm not ticklish.

Primark Haul! Part 2 For Italy

So this is part 2 of my Primark Holiday Haul, if you haven't seen the first one, then here is the link..

http://www.ezzwilliams.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/primark-holiday-haul.html

I'll just throw out a disclaimer by saying, by no means am I bragging about what I have bought, Primark is a fairly cheap shop and I just thought I would let everyone know because Primark isn't available online. So by people like myself showing what we have bought, you get to know what type of items are available in the shop because you might spot something  you like. 

+ The primark haul part 1, proved to be one of my most popular posts! So I thought I would the second part.

I'm going to Italy in a few weeks, so I thought I would show you some of the items I have purchased to go on my holiday.

Most of the items I Bought are from Primark, but the bottom two are from Topshop.

 So the first two things I bought, were some plain leggings, a black pair and a dark grey pair. They were £3 each and I just love leggings. They are really comfortable, so you can wear them around the house if your having a lazy day, or you can wear them out, with a long top or something.

 So this purchase was a bit random! So these Pyjama shorts are purple with stars on, and have a shiny alien on them. They were an absolute bargain because they were in the sale. As they were only £1, I just couldn't leave them there. I didn't need them but a girl can never have enough pyjama shorts.

 Next I got this disney print, Mickey Mouse t-shirt. The sleeves are rolled up and it's a nice fit. Sometimes with Primark t-shirts, I find that they can be a bit tight, but this one is a good fit and quite long. It was £6 and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of it.

 This item of clothing was one of my favourite buys! It's a white, long, flowy and see-through vest with aztec print at the top. It was £10 and I think it's really cute. The back is slightly longer than the front. I like it because the neck is quite high and I can dress this up or down. Also, it goes really well with a denim or leather jacket. 
I also got a plain white vest top to go underneath it.

  

Next item is a bag. When i'm in Italy, we will be sightseeing so I don't want to take a big bag around with me, so I thought I would buy a small bag. It's a really nice beige/grey colour and it was only £4. I will be able to fit all the stuff I need into it, and I just think it will be really handy. 

I then thought that because I had bought a new smaller bag, that I should buy a new smaller purse because I am currently using a big purse and that a smaller purse would be handy.
This purse that was only £4, jumped out at me. It's a lovely shiny beige, and on the inside it is illuminous yellow! How amazing. I think it's lovely and summery and that I will definitely use it a lot.

 So finding these shorts was such a relief for me! I've been looking for denim shorts that aren't high waisted for ages! (As all my shorts are high waisted, apart from the sport or towel ones I own.) But I could never find ones that fitted me well and that I liked. 
When I saw these I was so happy. I like the detail on the pockets because it's not mega crazy like all the other pairs they had. They were £10 and I will probably live in them this summer.

 Lastly from Primark, I purchased a few little things. Boringly just some bobbles and socks.
Then I picked up some new sunglasses. You can't see it on the picture but it has little golden pyramids stuck to the top of the arms on the sunglasses which is a cool feature. I just love the shape of the glasses.
I also finally purchased some batiste dry shampoo because I know that a lot of people rave about it, but I've never tried it, so I thought that I would give it a go.

 I then quickly nipped into boots and purchased a little pot of Carmex lip balm.
I can't explain in words how amazing this is! It's the nicest and best lip balm ever, It even works better that Vaseline!
It's super cheap and you can buy it from a lot of places now. You can buy the tube version of this from Primark, and that's really good, but I prefer it in a tub.

 This gorgeous grey lace vest top is from Topshop. It's newly been released and you can buy it in grey, blue, cream or orange. I got it in grey for £16. I think it's my favourite holiday buy. At the front it's a vest with lace over it and the back it just see-through lace. It's just cute and gorgeous and perfect for summer. It looks great with denim shorts and I know that I will wear it a lot.

Last buy, this dress is also from Topshop. The picture makes it look a bit strange, but it is a tight but stretchy bodycon dress, with long sleeves. Dark blue with white spots. I had been looking for this type of dress for a while and last week I went shopping and I got this in the sale in Topshop, for only £15. I didn't want a plain one, because I think I suit clothes that have a bit of a pattern on them, so this was perfect. It fits me really well, and is perfect if you are going out at night, I wore it last weekend to go to my netball presentation night and it was perfect for it, but it would still be good for going to a meal or something.

Summery Outfit Of The Day

So after being to Portugal, I think I brought the lovely hot and sunny weather back with me to Britain. This week has been lovely, so today as it is the weekend, I decided to go out.
I think this is my first Fashion post unless you count the hauls I have done, so here is my outfit of the day. I'm not the girliest of girls, but this is a lovely cute summery look.

 Sorry about the quality of that picture.. it isn't very good. Also, my t-shirt is a bit weird but yeah.

I have my slightly over sized denim jacket which I have only just got but I love it already. It's made by MOTO. It does have long sleeves, but I have rolled them up to three quarter because it's quite hot usually, and I think that having three quarter sleeves suits me a lot better.
If you don't have a denim jacket, then I would suggest you get one because they are great for summer, light and go with so many different things.

Then I have my Star Wars Coffee T-Shirt, which I wear a lot. This is also over sized because I like to have a few baggy tops because I find them so comfortable. The sleeves are normal but are quite long on me, so I rolled them up a bit. The caption is 'May The Froth Be With You' .. (haha). I got this to go on holiday because it's light and it's the kind of top where you can just chuck it on and it goes with everything. I purchased it from Ebay, but you can also get it on Amazon. I love these types of t-shirts and I got it in white as I don't have many white tops. 

Lastly I have on my Authentic Soft Denim, High Waisted Shorts from New Look. I got these last summer, but they do have a new version of them out this season. I love wearing them because they fit me really nice and they are super soft, so I also have the khaki green ones. I mainly wear them to tuck t-shirt into them, but I just think they are really cute and very summery.

I do also have white frilly socks on from Topshop because they go lovely with this outfit.
Let me know what you thought about this blog, and if you would like to see any more outfit of the days.

Also, I have just uploaded a new video on to my YouTube channel, so go ahead and check it out.

Topshop Haul

Thought I'd do a fashion blog today, so I decided to do a 'Topshop Haul', these are the items that I have bought from Topshop in the last 2/3 weeks.
The pictures make them quite unflattering, but I will soon be doing a 'spring outfits' blog, wear I will wear a lot of these clothes, so you can see them on.

So the first item, that is probably my favourite one is this Aztec Print blue and white dress. Now I'm not really the type of girl that wears dresses to go out in the day, but when I saw this I loved it. It fits perfectly and has a zip up the side. It's tight and then flares out a bit but not too much. It has a lace up back which looks so pretty and I think this will be great for when I go on holiday and as a lovely summer dress. So I was happy because it's a dress that suits me. Plus it was £34 pound which isn't a bad price for a good quality and detailed dress.

 Next thing I purchased was another pair of their frilly ankle socks because I think they are so cosy and they look really nice with shorts and vans. I also have a grey pair of these and I wear them a lot so I bought the white pair. On me, they suit vans and converse but they go lovely with dresses, skater skirts or with shorts. They are £3.50 each or you can get 3 for £8. As the weather gets nicer, I will probably go and buy more pairs because Topshop does so many designs of them.

 Next thing I bought was a plain grey vest, it's pretty basic, on the picture it looks huge but I can promise you it's not huge. It's just a loose fit vest that will be nice for me just to place over my bikini on holiday, or to lounge around the house in. It's good because in the summer, I just like to throw a vest and top on and this will be perfect for that. Plus, even though it's only grey, I like the colour. This was £6, or you could get 2 for £10. Now I got 2 for £10 because I got this grey one and my Mum got a dark red one, haha.

 Now I bought these leggings a couple of weeks back, but I thought I would add in this haul because I have wore them a lot and I just really like them. They're just dark red / burgundy leggings. They are quite thick and you can't see anything through them. Some days I come home and I just want something to lounge around in and these are great for that. I think they were around £18 and they go with quite a lot of things, you can either dress it up with a blouse or just lounge about in them with a vest.



This is also one of my favourite purchases. It is a figure hugging but stretchy crop top and I got it in white because I don't have many white things. I have been looking for this kind of top for a while, but there was so much choice. I chose white because I don't have many white things and it makes my tan stand out more. On me, I think this will look nice with denim shorts and it was only £8. I just think I will wear it a lot this summer because it is so versatile.

 Again, this isn't my best photography, but I got this Long sleeve Check Shirt for £29. On the picture it looks absolutely huge, but I can assure you it's only just longer than an average shirt. I like the colours and it goes with loads of things I have wore this a few times with shorts and tights, but personally I prefer wearing it tucked into jeans. The sleeves roll up and it has a top button so it is good no matter what the weather is like.

The last thing I purchased was one of Topshops Nail Varnish's. I've heard loads of  people say how good these are so I went out and purchased one. I got this bright blue one in the shade 'Air Kisses'. It dries fast and has a lovely glossy finish. It was £5 and I would definitely go and buy some more shades. If you don't own any of their nail varnish's, you should definitely go and get one. I find that the best thing about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip to easily, so it stays pretty firm, and also the range of colours Topshop have.

Unplanned Is The Way Forward

Today I thought I would write a lifestyle post. A bit of advice.
Sometimes the very best dates are the ones you have no idea are going to happen. Yet, whether you're a girly girl or not, you probably have some sort of process of preparing for a romantic date with a boy, but nowadays, I find myself on days with friends, family dates, not really on dates with lads, but that's fine with me. No matter how you much preparation you put into things, they will probably go wrong.

Back to my point, for me, if me and my friends plan something perfectly it's not as good compared with the days that you don't plan yet you end up having a lovely day.
I'm just saying, don't try and plan everything out in your head, (perfect days and perfect situations) because their will always be something that messes it up. Just take everything as it comes.

I've brought this subject up because I've recently fell in love with the film LOL and the TV drama Awkward, many of my friends say that Awkward resembles parts of my life, which I agree with (if you haven't seen it then check it out! new series starts on Tuesday April 16). Whereas LOL must be the cutest film ever, I just love it so much. It's about Lola (Miley Cyrus) and her love life and how she falls in love with a lad called Kyle (Douglas Booth) - (HOT).. it's a perfect relationship by the end, and a typical way of falling in love. Trust me it is a cute film, a real chick flick. ( I recommend you watch it ).
My point is that everyone thinks that their love life is going to turn out like all these amazing love films, such as The Notebook. Films are written by scriptwriters, then can make perfect moments happen whereas in real life it doesn't happen like that. If you single or in a relationship, don't expect it to be perfect like all these films. Also don't think your relationship with someone is wrong just because it's different to what happens in films.

A spring outfits will be up soon!

Get To Know Me

Hello, my name is Erin Williams and this will be my blog.
 I've set one up because my friend  +Ellie Jones set up a blog because she has great things to tell people and she didn't want to set up a blog on her own, so I thought that I would create one aswell.

My Blog posts are slightly more varied, covering beauty, life stories, teenage life and maybe a bit of fashion.

This first blog might be slightly boring as it is going to be all about myself, my family and my friends. Purely so you can get to know me because my blogs probably won't say much about me as a person, but beware as I am not so great as describing myself.

My full name is just Erin Williams because I don't have a middle name:( and I'm about 5ft6''. I have long dark blonde hair and deep blue eyes. I am from Flintshire, in North Wales (UK) so I am Welsh and proud. I speak fluent welsh, english, and a bit of french and portuguese.
I have an older brother called Adam who is 19 and I live with him and my Mum & Dad. Altogether I have a large family who mainly live in North Wales but also I have family scattered everywhere, I have relatives who live close to me in Wales, but also family who live further away like in Cumbria (North West of England), New Zealand and Canada.
Here is a recent picture of me..

I'm really lucky because me and my family go abroad a couple of times a year, whether we go skiing or sunbathing, I get to visit countries like France, Portugal, Switzerland etc. But sometime I would love to travel to America !
Here is a couple of pictures from last years holidays!



I have many friends, and I enjoy life. I am quite sporty and love to play netball, yet I'm interested in beauty, blogging and fashion aswell.
I don't take life that seriously, no matter what I do I can make great fun of it, so me and my best friends Ellie & Megan set up a YouTube account of things we have done, videos we have made and events we have been too, please check it out.. http://www.youtube.com/user/erinelliemegan
