TurtleNecks

Turtle Neck Thrifted Jeans Primark Boots Clark Coat Hand-me-down

Hey guys, so i owe you an apology? Im still not ised to the fact that im back at blogging so my attempt to regular posting is not at its best yet so.. HI!

On Thursday i had quite a good day, i had a photoshoot over at Great Portland Street and had a great experience ever. Meeting a great make up artist and photographer i was able to get along with really well! So here's the reason why my make up looks very intense but ill talk more about what this shoot is for later in the future so, keep updating yourselves!

So here was my outfit of the day, i wore a creamy green turtle neck, which is the main piece of this outfit because believe me, i am loving turtle necks! Some may think turtle necks are a bit of a question mark to them but they are so perfect for A/W and i think it works with most of my bottoms especially with the jeans i have here which work well with the creamy green because of the light pastel colour scheme i have going here. To stay down to earth the brown boots compliment them really well and the black cape coat of mine.

Blue Laced Blouse: Warehouse Jeans: Primark Shoes: ASOS 

Long story short, i'm back at blogging and i decided to post this up because my fellow friends thought it was a good outfit to wear out, little did they know it was for my date the next day. 

So i got this top when i was so craving to buy something new, it was in between this and a pink embossed skirt during a warehouse sale in september. I thought i could use another blouse in the closet, so after contemplating i bought this top! In fact i bought it in school which is ridiculous of me but i was DESPERATE! It was a good buy, it was on sale originally £40 and i only got it for £12, not bad right? The blouse is nicely designed, with the lace accentuating the colour and lightweight fabric and the buttons are covered up giving it a very clean look.

Same goes for the shoes, it wasnt much of a discount but under £20 always seems like a good buy, i got it for £16 in ASOS loving the ombre look of red to black and the tassles. It's under the truffle shoe collection in ASOS so go check that out! To complete the look, i folded up my skinny jeans, tied a ribbon on the blouse and i was good to go.

It feels so good to be back, hope you all like this post!

Thanks to the boyfriend for taking my photos!

Back to life

Hey Bloggers and Viewers,

I'ts actually been a long while and i have had a few people requesting for my return to this hobby. It's quiet outdated though, might be fixing it up a bit except for the theme which i'm so glad to have made myself :)
So, is there any room for fashion in my life right now? YES THERE IS! In fact, i am currently on the look out for fashion design foundation courses at the moment as i believe studying fashion design will be the course for me, i might consider learning some business for it alongside :)
So keep a look out for new posts in the coming month, i'm just been really busy since the start of school and everything.

Hopefully you all stay in touch with me and keep checking up my blog,
Happy Autumn Guys!

11. What do you hope to achieve/try out this year?

1. How did you get into blogging and why did you pick your name?Two years ago, i finally took a grip on what my dream career was and this was to be a fashion designer,  the blog may be more of fashion styling but discovering and recording trends is one of the things a designer has to go through. I attempted many ways to express this but trying on dresses in stores and taking mirror selfies of them was not the right way to do it, therefore using inspiration from naomineo i decided to start all over and do it right. Therefore this blog started with a different name but after some time i came up with Elleaspire - Ellea is a shorter, catchy version of my name and soon to be 'stage' name if ever i had to disguise my own personal name. With that i combined it with inspire/aspire because it will be the type of blog i aim to show my aspirations and inspire others with this dream i keep hold of.


2. What can you not live without?
I cannot live without:
My Family - They have loved me through out my whole life, without them i don't know what i'd do.
My Friends - They support me through whatever, they never fail to make my day and be there for me.
My Faith in God - Having faith in general is such a great contribution in life, its something within you that'll help you keep going through life.
My laptop & phone - Oh technology, how you contribute in my life in the greatest ways haha.  Do i even need to explain why i can't live without it? - TV Series, Music, social networks...

3. Describe the craziest dream you had recently.I kissed Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) From the vampire diaries, in the most romantic way. I love love love him <3

4. If you can be anything or anyone you want to be, who or what would you be?
If only there was a less hectic life of being a singer, actor, fashion designer and model at the same time i would so be all of them together at one. They all fit me as a person but we can't have it all... or can i? If there was a chance, i don't even think i'll be able to have time for myself and that i don't want.

5. Who do you hope to collab with in the future? (bloggers/brands/companies)
I'd like to collab with a lot of people but when it comes to blogging and fashion i'd like to collaborate with naomineo, she inspired me a lot with blogging and yeah some of my other bloggers that i know of in person (Hey to my blogger friends!) and perhaps if i was able to collab with a brand or company, i'd love any clothing stores or even make up brands to be supportive of my blogging!

6. What do you think will be the 'next big thing'?
The next big thing for me? Perhaps finally showing of my singing talent on youtube and making youtube lookbooks and such. Having a video of everything makes it very visual and more entertaining!

7. Numbers or letters?
I hate maths so letters! I mean i have a blog, typing letters is the way to go!

8. If you could learn any language in the world, what would it be?
I have learnt French at the basics for GCSE but i'd love to learn it fluently ~ It's such a beautiful language, i've fallen in love with it's words and the accent.

9. What is your guilty pleasure?
I actually love this baby powder food called Cerelac but it's honestly such a nice porridge that i only eat as a snack but i rarely eat it now.

10. If you could be part of the Guinness Book of World Records, what would be your ground wrecking world record?
I can do this humming and sort of noise i do with my tongue at the same time, in the tune of 'Drop it like it's hot' - Proud of it :)

11. What do you hope to achieve/try out this year?I hope i can manage to go to the F.A.D finals and finish designing a few dresses for future references, I also hope for the best out of my A-levels this year!!

Happy New Year Bloggers!

Hope you all have a wonderful new year! 

The One Four x OOTD

Everything is from primark -
Blouse
Long pencil skirt*
Belt
Earring
Except:
Ombré Heels - H&M

I'd like you guys to take into account that this was a total last minute outfit, rushed in and out of shops with tons of sales and people. Rushing resulted to not bothering to look throughout the entire stores but popping in an out of sections. Either way i found a nice simple outfit to begin the year from Primark, don't hate, the shop is good for basics and simplicity for most times plus it's about how you wear it!!

This is the year of the "wood horse" so earthly colours is advised to wear, since I'm not really a green person, i wanted to try it out and burst out this look and try something new.

*The long pencil skirt was adjusted to a midi skirt :) sometimes you just have to fiddle and see what suits you as a person.

Happy New Years Message:

Let's all take into account that this is another chapter of our lives, 1 out of 365 days has begun and we should use these days wisely, usefully... and have fun! We are getting older by the minute so appreciate and don't regret, everything is a lesson and everything happens for a reason!

Happy 2014! - Make the most of it!

I'd like to recommend an inspirational blogger, my friend Hayley!
