Heya again!
I'm back again, and as promised, I am giving you a post all about my little holiday to Venice. (I promised this way back in my "My Summer" post) It all went so quickly and I would happily go there again for a lot longer! (Maybe two weeks next time?) It is one of my favourite places of all time to visit, and not just because of the food!
I flew out on the 28th August and my flight got delayed an hour due to an air show happening in Venice, ANNOYING! Anyway, I got there in the end and headed towards the lido, which was where I was staying. I stayed in an apartment close to the vaporetto stop. (the vaporetto is the water bus for anyone who doesn't know) It overlooked the water and was absolutely stunning. I loved watching the sunsets every evening before going out for dinner. Some of you may have noticed a picture or two of the sunset happened to pop up on my instagram while I was there. (insta: Abbey_Mariexx) The other great thing about the apartment was that it had an air con. That was also amazing and made it so much nicer to sleep at night.
On my first full day in Venice I went to the beach on the lido. (yes, Venice has a beach people!) The sand was boiling and would quite literally burn your feet! However, the sea was nice and cool but wasn't too cold. I loved spending time on the beach. I also went back on the last day and had enjoyed a few dinks at the bars around the beach which was very nice.
I also went into central Venice as well. I absolutely loved walking over the Rialto bridge, browsing the shops and eating that famous gelato! It was all so beautiful, especially with all the canals and water surrounding the island. It was also heaving with people. Central Venice is so busy and crowded with people yet so beautiful at the same time!
While I was there I also went hopping around all the Venetian islands. I visited Murano, the glass island and Burano, the lace island. I posted a pictured of Burano on insta and I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. However, I wasn't so interested in the lace. I loved the glass though on Murano. I bought a pair of glass red rose earrings in Murano which I absolutely adore! Murano was a beautiful island as well.
I had such a great time in Venice and loved every single second of it! The weather was gorgeous and the islands were so beautiful! As I have said I would happily go back there and definitely go there for longer! I hope you have enjoyed reading this post as much I enjoyed writing it and experiencing it. I also hope you are enjoying Blogtober. If you have any requests let me know on twitter or in the comments on instagram. See you next time!

Fall favourites | Blogtober Day 2
Hi!
I have to admit, I've been so bad at updating this blog recently. Please forgive me! However, blogtober is the perfect time to correct this. My first post for blogtober will be a fall favourites, as it is now fall. (wow! where did summer go?) My favourites will cover a range of things from beauty, lifestyle and fashion. Some of my favourties will be things I am already loving and some are things I am sooo looking forward to!
My first favourite is from beauty and is the Oh My Gloss lipstick in snog by Rimmel London. I love this product for evenings especially, but can work for all times of day. The pigment of it is so strong and smells amazing! (For me, it does!) The colour is perfect for all occasions. Its like a red lip, but not quite as bold, so therefore easier to wear.
Another thing I am absolutely buzzing for is wearing beanies! I love beanies and I have a few. My most recent one I bought was from Primark for £3. I've also seen one in River Island I love which is £15.

My next favourite is from lifestyle and is a well - known thing across the globe. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. I only tried this 2 weeks ago and instantly fell in love. I have a big sweet tooth and this kind of drink is just perfect for me! I don't want it to go! It makes me love autumn even more than I already do!
I am also loving the Revlon colourstay eyeshadow palette in moonlit. I think I may have mentioned this in a previous post and it is a really nice, brown shade. Personally, I think brown is really underrated as an eyeshadow colour. It's my favourite colour to wear!
In the fashion world I am loving fluffy winter boots. Yes, I know its not winter quite yet but these can also be worn in fall. I got mine in Next a couple of years ago but you can get these type of boots everywhere, including the famous brand, Uggs.
Carrying on with style I am loving something that happens to be very on trend at the moment. Denim jackets. I love mine I got from Dorothy Perkins for £28. It really works for a casual look, especially on a Sunday, or any day to be exact! It also works perfectly with leggings. Not jeans though. Double denim is a sin in my style book.
That's all for this blog post today. I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you would like to see this month as part of Blogtober. See you tomorrow!

My Summer
Heyy!
Firstly, I have to apologise for being so slack with my blog posts over the summer! Its gone so quickly! But now I'm going to be back to posting at least once a week. This week I'm going to be talking all about what I did over the summer! I was lucky enough to have a whole 7 weeks off school. (Just sad it's all over now!) I did do a lot though and I'll take you through all of it!
Firstly, I went to Oxford Street with my mum to check out primark for a few holiday bits and pieces. I picked up a bikini and a kaftan. Around this time it was also boiling hot and reached a staggering heat of 34 degrees! (Heat wave weather here in the UK!) So I also went to a few places which luckily had air conditioning and chilled out while eating frozen yoghurt and drinking ice lemon tea from Costas. I also went to see the film "Mike and Dave need wedding dates" which was HILARIOUS! (It is a cert 15 here in the UK though, I'm not sure in other places, I have warned you though!)
About a week after all of that I went away to Lincolnshire and stayed over a night in Nottingham city centre. I had a lot of fun there and really ch illed out. I went to Nottingham race course (it was my mums birthday) and had fun in the pool. I also happened to do rather a lot of shopping, which if you know me, is very unusual for me. (insert jokes emoji) Overall, it was a good holiday.
After I got back I met up with my friend Anna (your 15 minutes of fame right here. you'll thank me later when your up on that west end stage!!) and we went shopping. (Yes, again!) It was really good to see her and catch up!
Then I travelled down to Brighton to see my younger cousin Orla and she came down to mine for a couple of days. It was a crazy fun week and would totally do it again!
4 days after Orla left me (sad face) I flew off to Venice for my second major holiday of the year. I stayed in the lido and it was an amazing trip and loved every minute. I went to the beach, central Venice and visited Murano, the glass island and Burano, the lace island. I might do a separate post on my trip there next time and give you more details. I flew back home 2 days ago and I started back at school today.
Unfortunately, my summers now over and I've started back at school. Just one more year until I'm off to college! I'm going to try to embrace it. (Note the "try").
Until next time

My time in year 10
Hi!
Its finally summer and that means the end of another academic year. I've just finished year 10 and thought I would talk to you lot about a few things that have happened this academic year. I've mentioned a few of these things on my other post "10 things I've learned in year 10" which you can check out.
First of all I made new friends this year. In September I was in a position where I didn't have many friends and had just come out of an old one. I was trying hanging out with different people and I just couldn't find the right people. Luckily, in January I found the right group and I'm so glad I did!
Another thing that happened was that I met Union J again for the second time. (I know, so school related!) It was at a gig and I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately after "I'm a celeb" George left which was sad but he has been replaced by Casey Johnson form Stereo Kicks who were on X Factor 2014.
During year 10 I also completed coursework for my GCSE's. I tried my best with this and I really hope I've done well with it. It was hard but I'm on the other side! I've still got a little bit more to do but it's mostly done! I just hope I've done well so far with the things I've done already.
I also had a heck of a lot of fun in year 10! I went to Nottingham, saw Little Mix live, saw Union J live and met them, met Rylan (I'll give ya'll a post on that soon!) and had a lorra fun with m friends.
Overall, I've had a great time in year 10 in all aspects. (Well, apart from school itself, that's a bore!) The only thing is that next year is year 11 and that means GCSE's and I'm not looking forward to the workload!

10 things I've learnt in year 10...
Hi!
As I've just finished year 10 I thought I would share 10 things I've learnt this year. I will also put up a post going into detail on a few things I've done this academic year. Academic and non-academic. Have fun reading!
1. Times can get tough. But they don't last forever and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
2. Friends pop up when you least expect it.
3. Work hard, then play harder.
4. Always revise for your exams. ALWAYS!
5. No, you can't always see the boy band. School, unfortunately does come first sometimes.
6. When you do get to see the boy band, make the most of it. You never know what's going to happen.
7. Go to as many gigs as you can. But make sure you do well at school.
8. Friends are important
9. Don't let your height affect you
10. The people who were once your tormentors will one day be irrelevant.
These are just some of the things that I have learnt in year 10. Thanks for reading!
