Treats

Sunglasses; H&M, Shoes; New Look, Socks; Matalan.

Yesterday, I told my mum I need to stop spending so much.

Today, I went shopping.

In my defense, the only things that I brought were in the sale or for my dad's birthday present.

I found these really cute little wedges whilst rummaging through the sale at new look. 

Given what I said yesterday (which is what I've been saying for the past month btw) I debated buying them for the best part of two hours. until I eventually gave up and went back to get them. I'm thinking I should probably feel pretty guilty about spending even more money. Buuut, they were in the sale. 

Plus they're super adorable.

Top; H&M, Shorts; Topshop, Ring; Etsy

I am completely in love with my new shorts. I saw a photo of someone wearing them online and knew instantly   that I had to have them. Although they were sold out online and in stores (they were limited edition) I managed to find some on ebay. I don't ever want to take them off they're so perfect.

The top is of Bruce Springsteen, who my sister was so lucky to see live a couple of weeks ago at Isle of Wight.
I look scared or something in the first picture. I dont know why though but it can stay up for laughs.

After weeks of rain the UK finally has some hot weather and sunshine. Which means Pimms and beach for everyone in the town I live in. So everyone's pretty happy this week.

Deserted Runway

Updated the shop. Again.

I changed the name. I don't know. "Love Emma" was a little dull.

I'm going to be adding some new bracelets and shorts soon. Well as soon as my laptop starts working again.

So last chance to buy the jewellery that's already on there.

Indelible Shadows

To me, Gillian Zinser is perfection. So, when I found out one of my favourite magazines were making her the cover girl for one of their issues, I literally squealed with delight.

Miss Zinser is bascially the queen of grungy-tomboy-boho-hippie-ness-chic cool.

Most people simply know her as "Ivy Sullivan" -the surfer tomboy chick from 90210. Or you might know as  the girl alot of fashion blogs envy over.

She's also done work for countless number of charities, such as Artists for Peace and Justice, and helped build schools in Haiti.

She knows who she is and isn't afraid to be that person. Nor does she care what people think about her.

Yeah. If I could trade places with any one in the world for a day, it would probably be this girl.

Hey. so sorry for the lack of posts recently. My laptops not working right now which is really annoying as I've got new things to put on the shop and lots to blog about. I'm currently writing this from my phone which is quite hard and i can't post photos or anything from it. I'm hoping that my laptop will be working properly again soon but in the time follow me on twitter, tumblr or instagram since i can update easily from my phone. www.icklemonkey.tumblr.com www.twitter.com/emmaalou_ Instagram: emmaalou_

Blue Beauty You're Killing Me...

If I had the power to transport myself to anywhere in the world in a blink of an eye, I'm pretty sure it would be this place.

With crystal clear water and sandy white beaches, the Maldives is basically my idea of heaven.

The UK has had pretty awful weather this week and all I want to do now is jump on a plane heading straight for this little slice of paradise.

Seriously, why do I do this to myself?!

Rose And Ramones

Top; H&M, Skirt; Ebay

Obsessed with this new skirt I've brought. 

It's all floaty and light and perfect for summer.

Did I really just describe a skirt as 'floaty and light'? Clearly I'm good with words today.

I have a few days off work, so hopefully the weather will be good and I can spend the long weekend down the beach.
