Hello Lovelies, I had been wanting to read Red Queen for a while since I heard about it in the book tube community. After finishing it the other day I knew I would have to write a review on here. Plot Mare is a red blood who lives in a world where she is oppressed by silver bloods. Silver bloods are superior as they have 'magic' abilities/powers which make them 'god like'? However Mare has a magic ability where she shoots purple and silver lightning. By the end of the book I had suffered some drama with a Wicked Queen, 2 Evil Prince's and 2 Romances. Overall I would rate the plot a 4/5 it had a very intriguing premise but it was for me very confusing at times as so much was going on at one time. Writing Style Victoria Aveyard really thought out the plot and the timeline of the book however a few things kept annoying me. I am sorry to say this but the character of Mare was incredible but her inner thoughts didn't always sound like the character - but for me...

Hello lovelies, I feel like I haven't done a let's talk post in awhile so I thought what better time then now!  I hope you are all well and happy, as I am both of those and looking forward to my birthday on Monday. I will be turning 16 for those interested.  As I was planning what I am wanting to do for my birthday I was realising that I had neglected my blog. As I slowly have been getting back into blogging I found myself getting back in touch with an old friend of mine who I grew up with. We went to nursery, infants school and juniors school so it has been lovely re-getting to know each other again. This person is fellow blogger ( and youtuber!) Chloe May, she was honestly the kindest person I knew growing up and I am happy to report she is still the same happy and kind person. I highly suggest you going to read her blog  here  as she is uploading everyday for this month. If any of you are wondering what I am doing for my birthday,  I will be going out ...

Hello Lovelies, Today I wanted to share with you my 'handbag collection' as they are one of my favourite accessories and I have a lot of them, which is why I have selected 6 of my favourites to show you to. So as they are one of my favourite accessories some of these are gifts from my family and friends so I am in no way trying to show off or boast about the bags I have I just thought it might be nice for you my readers to see more of what my sense of style is like. 1.  Louis Vuitton This bag was a gift of my aunt as she was wanting rid of some of her handbags and she knew I would take good care of them so she sent them up north to me from where she lives down south. This is probablies my favourite handbag and my most used one as it goes with everything whether it is dressy or laid back!  2. Kenneth Cole I purchased this handbag a few weeks ago from TK Maxx and I absolutely love it.  I had been eyeing it up for a few weeks before I decided ...

Hello Lovelies,  Today I was stumped on what to blog so I was given the idea to do my current favourites from my lovely friend Chloe who has one of the most beautiful blogs I think I have ever seen - thanks again! (Read her blog here  and watch her youtube channel  here ).  I decided to pick five things I have been loving lately. 1. Coffee I have never been a big coffee lover apart from a good latte. The other day I was shopping and found this coffee on offer and decided to give it a go. It is one of the best coffees I have ever tried especially if you use warm milk instead of just hot water. It is called Carte Noire and it is the original.  2. Music Two of my favourite songs currently are from two of in my opinion the most anticipated movies of the summer - Ghostbusters and Suicide Squad. Heathens by Twenty One Pilots and Girls Talk Boys By 5 Seconds Of Summer.    3. Makeup  I purchased this Tanya Burr ...

Hello Lovelies, I mentioned that I would be making this post in my previous post so today I will be telling you all about my Summer Bucket List and all about beating the boredom that comes in Summer.  I personally think that you don't have to make a physical summer bucket list it is more of a state of mind where if you want to do something you just do it. 1. Go To A Funfair This one is pretty self-explanatory but I have actually already achieved this one! So on our last day before me and my friends had study leave (by the way we only had one week of study leave) we decided to go to our local funfair. I think I went on a total of 3 different rides but there was very few there so that's my excuse but I did go on those rides multiple times. I even went on the dun...dun...dun... Waltzer but I have really bad IBS and I already had an upset stomach so I was most definitely sick on and after this ride. On the left is a photo of my beautiful friends Megann, Abbie and Bethany. 2...

Hello Lovelies, I always have trouble coming up with things to do when I am bored and in summer I am more bored than usual so I thought I would make a list of 5 Things you could do this summer, 1. EXPLORE I love exploring new places whether it be a vast woodland or a big bustling city. I enjoy people watching and learning new things about different plants, people, etc. I have already been to two new places that were surprisingly close to where I live yet I had never been to them before last week. These were High Force and a little stream in the middle of the Pennines - so basically the middle of nowhere!! haha. Here is a photo on the right of High Force, one of the biggest waterfalls in the UK - I found even the walk down enjoyable - even if it was the hottest day of the year when I went down to the waterfall.  2. PICNIC When we went to the pennines we had decided to have a picnic, it was nice doing this as we were somewhere where my dad had gone growing up and it was ...

Hello Lovelies, It seems every time I have been starting a blog post recently I have been apologising for not uploading frequently enough! Well I had another busy week with work experience and Prom. For me I found Work Experience really interesting, although there wasn't much work for me to do at my placement the work I did do was incredible. I even got to fill out a life insurance policy for one of the company's clients. The people who I worked with as well were amazing they were so nice to me. Prom was also very exciting, it was probably one of the best nights ever. Which sounds like an over exaggeration but I personally wasn't very excited for prom a month before but as soon as it was a few days to go I began getting excited. I think I never left the dance floor all night but the food was really bad the less said about that the better! Me and Bethany aka JustOldCuriousMe went together as we both didn't have a date but once at Prom we sure did have a laugh. Ou...

Hello lovelies, Today i thought i would do a bit more of a chatty post as i felt it was well delivered last time i did one of these posts. So since the last time we spoke i have finally left secondary school after doing my last exam on Friday. This means that I have 11 weeks to myself for watching some TV shows, shopping, reading and Oh? lets not forget you lovely people reading this, I will try to post much more frequently. And maybe post everyday but don't keep me to that. Well the last few weeks have been some hectic ones at that, I went to the local funfair and was sick on one of the rides - not embarrassing at all! The day after that I went shopping in town and this week I had my leavers barbecue and spent all day yesterday (saturday) in Blackpool! So i will be posting a a huge collective haul in the next few days. This summer I have made a promise to myself to take more risks and try new things but I also want to get a lot more reading done this summer. I am currently r...

Hello Lovelies, I know, I know long time no talk but life is pretty damn stressful right now. I have officially started my GCSE's and in case you don't know what GCSEs are these are the exams that take place in the UK before College (I am so lucky to have already been accepted). The exams I have taken so far are Maths, English Language and the first biology exam. First of all I already passed maths in January *cheers* but i decided to take higher maths so i am preparing for that torture in the next few weeks *boooooo*. English Language was amazing because I had the opportunity to attend a conference in Harrogate that was where my exam board literally told me exactly what i needed to do to get an A/A* which in case you didn't already know I really want to get a high grade in English because I love that lesson and I am doing it at A Level. Although the support I received was very encouraging it was still very stressful going into the exam I was asked about bees? I mean bees...

Hello Lovelies, Last summer me and my good friend Bethany (@JustOldCuriousMe) spent a week in Silloth in Cumbria with my family. And we are hoping to go again in the upcoming Easter Holidays. I have been to Silloth a few times and I love it there because of the beautiful views and how quiet and serine it can be. So today I though I would base two outfits of the view in Silloth, one for Winter and one for Summer. Summer Pieces Top £7.00 Miss Selfridge Shorts £17.99 New Look Bag £13.50 Miss Selfridge Shoes £18.99 New Look Winter Pieces Jeans £35.00 AS0S Jumper £22.00 Topshop Jacket £24.99 New Look Shoes £20.00 Miss Selfridge I hope you really enjoyed this post and leave a comment below telling me your favourite sleepy seaside town!

Hello Lovelies, I have to admit I kind of love anything 80s or just anything vintage! So here is my post on some of my favourite 80s movies, these are MY favourite 80s movies I am in no way saying they are overall the best 80s movies of all time and no over movie can top these. The 1980s is known for its pop music, big hair and crazy fashion trends but it also has some great movies and here are some of my favourites. Pretty In Pink (1986) Pretty in pink is a teen romance movie starring Molly Ringwald who is infamous for playing the ‘Princess’ in the breakfast club but in pretty in pink she takes the role of the outcast Andie along with her characters best friend in the movie Duckie played by the Two and a Half men star Jon Cryer they go through school unnoticed until a rich and popular boy called Blane asks Andie out. My Review – This movie is incredibly cheesy like a lot of romance movies of the 80s but that is what makes this movie great it stars some of...

Hello Lovelies, Its my first post of the new year sorry it is a bit belated and I hope you all love my new blog layout for the new year! I am still on editing it so I hope you like it so far. Anyway back to the post I kept seeing eyelet detailing all over the winter period and I think it will remain as a new trend this year so I found these pieces that I think work well together to create quite a dramatic look. Top - New Look Skirt - Select Shoes - Dorothy Perkins Thank you so much for reading this it means the world to me, it would also be amazing if you could leave a comment. - Ellie Xxx Also I am hoping to have a two new series on my blog soon and I am really looking forward to working on the posts and sharing them with you all. If any other bloggers are interested in working with me on some of these posts just send me a message on twitter @thatweirdoellie.

Hello Lovelies, I am extremely guilty for the lack of uploads on this blog but I feel uploading something that is bad quality or not something you will want to read is just not good for this blog so today I thought I would create a last minute Christmas present blog post that will suit your mother, sister, girlfriend, friend and etc.  Disclaimer: I was sent these products by the body jewellery shop to review on my blog but i will be completely honest with my opinion and I would not approach a company unless I knew the products were high quality and are what I wear/use daily. http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com These are one of the pairs of ear rings that I was sent I know not everyone has a ear piercing but those who do would love this pair they are gorgeous and look extremely high end and high class but at a high street price. I think this is a lovely present for your mother, aunty, nan, etc. I know personally I would love to receive this as a present and since I got th...

Hello Lovelies, I am extremely apologetic in not uploading in over a MONTH! I have had such a hectic life lately with being ill and homework and birthdays! so once again I am sorry and hope to be uploading again extremely soon. Thanks - Ellie Xx

Hello Lovelies, Today I went to one of the flawless makeover studios at Middlesbrough! You got your hair styled however you may like but the stylist will give a suggestion as to how they think you would suit it, I personally had my hair in waves. The makeup the lovely make up artist did was a blue smokey eye to match my prom dress and to compliment my natural blue eyes. They also gave me a mini-manicure with the nail polishes of my choice.     Here is an image showing how I looked after the airbrushing and makeover. The only air brushing I had was to remove my acne I wasn't self conscious of anything else to do with my appearance.  Some images from my photoshoot:                                                                                      ...

Hello, Disclaimer: i do not know nicole, i haven't seen any of her videos so i am simply building my opinion of her from this video. she may be the loveliest person in the world but i just wanted to address this video and my opinion of it! This is a rant so apologise for any spelling errors or if I offend you.  Watch the video:  http://youtu.be/CXFgNhyP4-A This may not be what I usually post on here but i felt like I had to adress this. One of the most controversial youtube videos I have ever seen was uploaded on the 3rd of september entitled Dear Fat People. I have just watched that video and I am appalled not only by her using being bigger than the average person as a joke but her ideas to stop people from being 'fat' disgust me.  Even  at the start she says people are already mad at the video. why upload a video that you know will offend millions of people globally? What i am saying is that is she trying to shock people? for what ever reasons i don't know maybe sh...

Hello Lovelies,  Today I thought I would do a post like what i used to do, an outfit post! so here it is...                                                                            Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!  - Ellie Xx  

Hello Lovelies, I would just like to say sorry for the late uploads! Anywhom This evening I thought I would make a post about what I have in my school bag as I had been organising my bag for school tommorrow and I thought some of you would be interested.                      (New photo editor - thoughts?)           Here is what I keep in my bag?  A Pencil Case and Extra Coloured Pens and Highlighters. My School Planner (which I will get tomorrow). A 150 Page Subject Notebook and a 300 Page Study Book (both A5)  I also like to keep a perfume in my bag but my fabulous best  friend Bethany bought me a next travel size perfume in sparkle for my birthday. I LOVE the scent of this perfume and it is a great size for a handbag. Another thing I like to keep in my bag if I am wearing makeup is a small mirror and some mascara and lipstick to touch up my makeup. Thanks for reading and i hope you enjo...

Hello Lovelies, Today I just thought I have never done a post on co-ords! Which shocks me a lot as I love them, so I thought I would do a series on this that will span over this week and next I believe? I am not sure but the first two will be me discussing a co-ord that I love and is super affordable. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post, - Ellie Xx Your opinion matters leave me a comment telling me what you think!

Hello Lovelies! I am so sorry I haven't upload in forever! But today I thought I would do a post on what I have planned these week!  I have just caught up with pretty little liars and fifty billion theories keep popping up all the time! But I do think the characters Sara Harvey/Bethany Young and Melissa have something to do with the A team. Anyway we find out on Wednesday who Charles/A is! What are your theories?  Also it is only 5 days till my fifteenth birthday which I will be celebrating with my best friend Bethany! Aka Just Old Curious Me (check out her blog it's better than mine!) as in 4 days we are going for a week away in Cumbria.  We also taking my little baby doggy Louis!
