My Autumn Essentials...

Hey guys! 

Longggg time no blog (who noticed the Jim Chapman reference?)

As I'm sure you're all aware, whether it be from YouTube, Instagram, Twitter or wherever, Autumn is upon us again! This makes me so so crazy excited, because everything exciting happens in Autumn (including this year my 16th Birthday!) The nights get darker, there air gets colder, "sweater weather" becomes a thing and everything becomes a lot more photogenic! I'm so excited! 

I thought I'd share with you my Autumn essentials today, as it's been a while without a blog post and I promised myself I'd use it more so these are my Autumn essentials:

First up is a dark lipstick, I feel this is a pretty staple thing to have, everyone has personal favourites, mine is MAC in the shade - Media. I really love this as its a deep dark purple with an undertone of Red. It's a lustre finish and I really like this! 

The second photo is an Autumnal shade nailvarnish. For me I can't actually wear nail varnish all that often because I'm in school most of the time and my school are overly tight with rules on nail varnish so it's just not worth it. But these are the ones I'm wearing on the weekends. 

First on the left is Rimmel London in 320 Rapid Ruby, the next is one by Fearne Cotton, in the colour Heart Ache and the last one is a leather look from Claire's accessories, and this doesn't have a name (why would you do that Claires?!) I'm also really loving white nails at the moment too, as you'll see if you watched my last video!

My next Autumn and Winter must is a good pair of boots! I picked these ones up today and these are from New Look, I love the tarten turn ups on these, I don't know if you can see because of the way I've edited the photo but they have two layers of fabric and they lace up half way. Also skinny jeans tuck in really nicely. I'm super excited to wear these whilst walking over leaves and snow!

A defitinate favourite for the winter months is a warm drink in a cute mug. Yes you saw this right, this mug has Santa's on it. But heyyy, it's almost October, Santa's pretty much on his way... right?  

I love having hot chocolate on cold nights, and this is my favourite mug ever for the winter time as it says "dear Santa, define nice?" and I just think this is really cute and quite me. This is just from Primark. 

Another thing from this photo that I love is my new mustard jumper, I won't go into depths as it featured in my most recent video but it's from H&M

My last Autumn essential that I think is crucial is a good pair of Slippers and / or fluffy socks. These are my absolute favourites at the moment as they're so warm and snug and look cute with everything. These were £3 from Primark and I'll definitley be purchasing another pair before Winter is over!

That's everything I have to share with you today! I hope that you too are feeling the Autumn vibes, I know I really am! I love this time of year as everything exciting happens and while it might be quite early, there is a whisper of Christmas on the horizon, after all, it's three months today!

I hope this inspired some of you as these are all affordable Autumn items (nice illiteration there Molly) that are great for everyone!

From now on I'm going to be writing a blog post every Friday at 7pm!

See you then! It'd be nice to see any feedback!

See you soon!

Hi Guys! 

Welcome to my blog!

If you're my friend or know me in real life, a few rules:

1) Please don't bring this up, it'll make me feel awkward

2) Please don't scream about it in school, it'll make me feel awkward

3) Please continue to read if you happen to know about it, your support means a lot!

If you don't know me in real life, hello, my name's Molly and this is my blog. I'm going to be sharing with you general stories from my life, pictures of what I've been doing (as an excuse to take yet more pictures then I already do) and other things that take my fancy really.

This post is going to be about a thought that occurred to me at 3AM the other night when I was dangling out of my best friends attic looking at the sky. As you do.

My friend has 4 floors in her house, and on the top there's just a tiny little attic room. The two of us where up there in the middle of the night just talking about life. It was in no way the best night for star gazing, as it was mainly cloudy and very cold. It's nearly the end of December after all. The two of us being the people that we are we where having a very in depth conversation about how we view the sky.

The sky, at first glance, appeared so dark that we were unable to see anything at all, not even the rooftops and chimneys straight opposite, but after a while, once our eyes had adjusted, everything was pretty much clear. At that moment, the two of us could not see a single other human being. For all we knew we could have been the last two on the planet. The very last. For there was nothing at all in our view that showed signs of human life.

It was this that lead us to our conversation on how we see the sky. We both agreed that you could look at it as an immense amount of freedom, a portal that held nothing but the unknown. It literally is a never ending blackness and it's up to you to imagine what's out there. When you look at it like this it seems positive. Scary, yes, but positive, in a "the world is my oyster" type of way. 

However the longer we stood there the more I couldn't help but think, well actually, no. The sky is a blanket which is smothering earth. We're all, every single one of us, trapped under it. Trapped with murders, terrorists, ghosts (if you believe in them) and we have no escape. I stood and thought about this for a while before voicing it to Erin. She agreed and we (or maybe just I, I don't know if she thought it too) realised that no matter what the situation, may it be the sky, or life in general. There is nearly always two ways of looking at it. An opptomistic way and a pesemistic way. Your life is going to be ruled by which ever way you look at things.

That's very deep and meaningful and meaningless all at the same time but I just wanted to write it down and share it with you guys on the internet, so that you too, next time you're watching the stars can think about how there are two sides to what you're looking at.

I hope you all have an amazing christmas, wherever under the stars you are!

Molly :)
