Bye Bye Google Reader, Hello Bloglovin'

You may or may not have heard that Google Reader (the thing on blogger that displays all the blogs you follow) is closing down for good and as of Monday it will be no more. With this comes the potential of loosing all the blogs you follow including mine so I thought I'd write this quick post to let you know the ways in which you can keep up to date with my posts once Google Reader is gone. 

Bloglovin' - For around a year now I've had the Bloglovin' button displayed to the right on my blog and if you click that then you can easily follow my blog from there. I've used Bloglovin' for a little while now and I can honestly say it's a much nicer way to view blogs; the pictures are clearer and everything is a lot easy to find. If you don't have an account then it takes two minutes to set one up and you even get the option to import all of the blogs you follow through Google Reader over to your Bloglovin' account. Super easy!

Twitter - I post my blog links all the time onto my Twitter account and also you can enjoy my idle ramblings about fashion, television shows and my general day-to-day thoughts. It's basically like my mini blog you could say!

Instagram - I'm a huge Instagram fan and I swear I spend most of my time jumping between my blog and my Instagram account. Follow me on there for photos of food, new buys, ootds and other random parts of my days. 

So there you go, feel free to follow me on all of these platforms. Don't be sad that Google Reader will be no more, embrace Bloglovin' instead!

WISH YOU WERE HERE...

Here is another university project I had to do, again in the style of a photo shoot, but this time the idea was to produce an entire fashion spread under the theme 'Wish You Were Here'. This was a really great project and I loved every minute of it from taking the photos and laying them all out, to adding the text. 

I'm really pleased with the finished spread and this just gives me more preparation for my final year project of creating a whole magazine. I love the whole design and photography elements jus as much as the writing itself!

OUTFIT | AZTEC & OMBRE

jacket, dress & boots (via ebay): topshop, belt: primark, necklace: warehouse

I thought I'd step outside and take advantage of the nice (ish) weather today. It's funny that it's gone from snowing and raining yesterday to bright, if not a little cold, sunshine today; I wonder how long this will last. Anyway, I bought this dress a few weeks ago from Topshop and I absolutely love it. The print almost looks although the whole dress is knitted and the back (although not pictured) has a lovely cut out detail. I wore it with a belt to break up the print a bit and then paired it with my leather jacket that I pretty much wear with everything!

Now, I'm not usually one for dainty little necklaces, I much prefer larger more statement pieces, but with the print of this dress I thought this feather necklace was the perfectly subtlety. One thing that you may or may not of noticed is that my hair is different and thats because I decided to get it ombre after feeling rather uninspired by my previous highlighted hair. I am over the moon with how it turned out, and curly, I love how natural it looks - I'm yet to be a fan of it when it's straight though.

IAMEMMAWILDE.COM

This is just a quick post to say that I now have my own domain name at iamemmawilde.com which is so so so much easier to remember! I've wanted to get rid of the annoying .blogspot.co.uk for a while now but just haven't got round to it until now. Hopefully this should make my blog a whole lot easier to find and also easier to say!

GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS | BEST DRESSED

Taylor Swift in Donna Karen

Taylor Swift wore a satin, burgundy Donna Karen Atelier gown with sheer side panels and low open back. This is very different to her usual embellished, sequinned gowns and is much more of a chic look with a mermaid style cut giving the perfect silhouette. Taylor kept her hair simple with a side twist bun and wore matching coloured drop earrings. 

Emily Blunt in Michael Kors

Emiy Blunt wears a very fitting, golden embellished Michael Kors gown with side cut outs and a slight mermaid style. She wore her hair in a high bun and paired the whole look with berry coloured jewels  and a gold jewelled clutch. 

Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen

Nicole Kidman wore a black, fitted Alexander McQueen dress with mesh detailing at the waist and contrasting gold studs around the neck. Her jewellery was slightly mismatched with various coloured bracelets but this is overlooked by the dress giving a very simple silhouette. 

Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera

Lucy Liu wowed in a duck egg, strapless dress with an oversized skirt and an unusual floral print. Worn with a side plait in the hair and minimal jewellery, the dramatic shape of the dress and unexpected nature works perfectly together this time.

first ever yankee candle | rose gold | minnie mouse | disney day | thirsty fun at mcdonalds | bedside table | new hair | ootd | collar tips

This week has been a bit odd, it started with heading back to university for two days and spending ages on a mega bus - fun times. Then I just took the rest of the days as time off, watching some movies, enjoying my amazing smelling yankee candle and getting my hair ombre which I love!

PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS 2013 | LEA MICHELE IN ELIE SAAB

Last night was the People's Choice Awards and by far, the best dressed of the entire night for me had to be Lea Michele wearing a bright pink, Elie Saab mini dress with bead embellishments and lace panels. She paired the striking dress with a pair of matching strappy heals and simple jewellery, although, these are hardly noticeable worn with this amazing dress; this has to be one of my favourite looks of all time! For once a great look was achieved without a huge, dramatic dress. Nice and simple does the job this time, Lea, take note!
