I Love London • Pippa Marie

Hello lovelies, so a lot has changed recently - thanks for sticking around for so long if you are still reading this. I just wanted to post a little bit of an update/ what i'm up to now kind of thing!

So my inspiration for writing this comes from my trip to London a few weeks back, if you didn't know I am now living up north in the Lake District, which don't get me wrong, is truly beautiful! But one thing it does not have is the amazing hustle and bustle of city living. 

The worlds are just so far away it's incredible - and I love them both! It made me realise that I do eventually want to experience that kind of life again, but I do really want to make the most of living up here for the moment and sharing everything with you guys! Because there aren't that many bloggers/vloggers that live in the middle of nowhere lets be honest! haha

So I have some great ideas for more exciting things and I really am going to make the most of it while I am here! So from city life to country life... lets go!

Much Love xoxo

A day in Notting Hill

My 21st Birthday Party!

Hello lovelies, I really really wanted to share some of these photos with you guys. I had an amazing party for the 21st, it was like a mini festival in my garden! I had so much fun and thought it might give you guys some inspiration if you were wanting to plan anything like this! 

The homemade bar my mum made from an old chicken cage!

The wine bottles are my mums amazing idea. We basically just got bottles of wine and soaked of the labels in warm water, then my mum created all these signs and we stuck them on with double sided sticky tape (however if you buy sticker paper and print it on there it would make your life a lot easier!)

These cute little hanging balls were from ikea and I just added them onto string.

The bouncy castle was amazing!

Hope this has given you some inspiration for anything you are planning and you loved it just as much as I did. If you want anymore information on any of the photos in the post just comment down below! Thanks for reading guys

PLL Summer Season Finale Opinions

Hello lovelies, so this post is a little unorthodox for my blog but I felt I had to share with you! I have been watching Pretty Little Liars the day it came out so like a lot of people I have been waiting six long years for this moment. We finally know who A is!! And for those of you who don't watch PLL, please stop reading this blogpost and go get yourself onto netflix until you have caught up!

*SPOILERS*

So us fans have finally found out the identity of A after six long years and there are a lot of mixed reactions on the finale. I wanted to give my opinions of the episode and the whole storyline behind it. It was revealed that Charles was in fact Cece who is the first transgender character on the show, and the episode also dived into a little bit of insest. With a week gone since the reveal of A I thought it was time I shed some light onto the matter!

Opinion of A being A

So a couple of my friends and a lot of people on twitter were very very disappointed with this choice of A. But I really really wasn't. I thought it was so clever how they'd done it and how it was so obvious yet I didn't suspect a thing like that! Everything now fits into place, the dress that Mrs. D was hiding when Alison found it, who killed Toby's mum, the whole Radley thing in general. I think it's a piece of genius and I have searched high and low for many many theories previous to this and I don't think I saw any that were correct. I love how they made you actually feel sorry for A and be able to connect with her. I honestly thought it was brilliant. 

Transgender Character and Insest

So many people took to twitter slating Marlene King and the other writers for making the first transgender character a psycho. Yes Cece had been to Radley and done some very crappy things to the liars but what makes everyone think she is actually ill in the head? Mr D put Charles in there because he tried to 'Kill' Alison, but we saw in the episode that he actually really loved Ali and just wanted to make her feel better. As for her being A and doing all the messed up things she has done, why does that make her mentally ill? I think she just loved the game. Doesn't necessarily mean she is mentally ill. And as for the insest, people are definatly taking that out of proportion. Cece even made a joke about 'how frustrated' Jason was (which made me giggle a lot actually) so obviously nothing happened, it was just the desperation of an abandoned child wanting to be with their family.

Radley & Bethany Young

Well, little innocent Bethany turned out the be a massive bitch didn't she? I'm glad that the girls finally know about who killed Toby's mother and I really hope it doesn't just get forgotten about in the next upcoming episodes as they have obviously skipped five years. I want to see Toby's reaction to it all and see how that plays out. And we finally learn who actually killed Bethany after everyone thinking it was Spencer, then Mellisa, then Ali.. It was endless. Poor Mona killed Bethany by accident thinking it was Ali, which I think brings out a whole new side of Mona if she was willing to do that. I mean we all knew she was a bit twisted but she was little A, little A didn't going around killing everyone.

Unanswered Questions

Although we were promised a summer of answers, they did not disappoint but I do still have some questions I would like to know the answers too! The main one being who actually killed Mrs. D? Because my money was on Charles before but now that obviously isn't the answer. The new characters that have come into this season, will we ever see them again? and are any of them actually suspicious? 

The Sara Thing

I knew she was super dodgy at first but I was finally starting to trust her and BAM. Ruined. Poor Emily, she has the WORST luck with love life. But I do think because we technically found out redcoat was Cece that it is a bit confusing that Cece is A and Sara is Redcoat. 

And the black widow too, i'm glad that was answered and that also made sense! I still don't know how she could do that to Emily. Another question would be if she actually had real feelings for Emily or not? 

The 5 year jump

I am very excited to see how they play this out! And the clip that they did show us, there are a lot of differences. It has been confirmed that Alison is indeed married and hasn't just changed her name. Her surname is in fact the same name as a Doctor at Radley and we have been told she is married to a Doctor but that was all the information given.  

We also find out that someone is after the girls again, or maybe just Ali this time. But this is a 'he' and this 'he' is confirmed to NOT be Charles/Cece. There is no confirmation that he is the new A but he is definitely the new 'Baddie' of the season.

I'm very excited to see what else they pull out of the bag and how they develop their characters further. I just really hope they don't miss anything really important from the last 5 years! 

Sorry for the very long post with getting my opinions out there, if you love PLL just like me, let me know your opinions too! And also if you do like these blog posts I could do so many more of them as I watch A LOT of TV shows. 

My Mac Lipstick Collection

Hello lovelies, So although I have started my Youtube channel now, I still want to stay active on here and post totally different things to keep you all happy. So today I am going to talk to you on here about my Mac Lipstick Collection!

So I haven't actually been buying Mac lipsticks for that long, but I don't need to tell any of you how addictive it is. I currently have 8, which is just enough to fill my little lipstick tray, so for now, I am content (Until i next visit mac probably)

I know a lot of you will probably 100% agree with me when people (men, I.E Boyfriends) say why do you have so many lipsticks that are exactly the same colour. No. Just No. I am like most, and I have a favourite sort of shade, and so I have some similar ones, but each and every colour is different. 

These are currently all the colours I own, and I do also think a lot of them look very different on, then in the actual tube. Fresh Moroccan, Creme in your coffee and Taupe are all similar shades, however they all have different finishes. Taupe (which I have mentioned before in my blog as one of my faves) is matte which gives a very different effect to Fresh Moroccan which is frost.

Velvet Teddy and Shy girl are my two nudes, but both have such a different impact. Velvet teddy is probably most well known from the Kardashians and those amazing lips! Shy Girl is actually one i recently acquired from my best friend who didn't think it suited her, so naturally I stole it. Again velvet teddy is a matte, which I do love, but it can sometimes dry your lips a lot easier than the other finishes.

Bombshell is a bit of the odd one out of this collection, its very pink compared to the others which are quite natural tones but I do really like this one, and I think I will be wearing it a lot more in the summer as it really stands out. And then Brick-O-La and New York apple are the closest I will get to red probably, I don't think red really suits me that much and whenever I am brave enough to wear it, it always ends up all over my face or teeth. Not nice. Brick-O-La was actually the first one I purchased out of all of these and I still love it now.

Now, as I previously mentioned, I do own some similar shades and on this photo you may look at some and go, they are the same, but if you really look at the texture and the shine to them, you can tell they will look a lot different actually on the lips.

I go through so many phases with what I like to wear, I find it hard to pick just one out of them all. Let me know what your favourite is out of mine, or even out of your own collection (Or want list), I'd love to know, and always good to get ideas for what to buy next.

Thanks for reading guys, and if you havn't already I would love you forever if you went over and subscribed to my brand new Youtube channel by clicking HERE, A new video will be posted on Thursday!

Whats in my bag

Hello lovelies, wow has it really been that long? Just a quick little update from uni (because that is the reason for my lack of posting) I have my last ever deadline on Wednesday!! So the stress is almost over! Today however, I wanted to do the what's in my bag tag.

The first item is my purse, this purse is from River Island and I think i've had it for about 3 years now, and I haven't found any other purse that could replace it as of yet. I will be gutted if it ever breaks on me. It's just the perfect size with the perfect amount of compartments and I love it.

I am not the most tidy of persons when it comes to my purse, I constantly have receipts sticking out everywhere and train tickets etc. but it does the job!

Next is my handbag makeup bag, I always like to have a smaller makeup bag for my handbag as I never like to lug around all my makeup. At the moment this little bag is a black one from Ted Baker. I switch what goes in this all the time, but at the moment it is just the Maybelline matte mousse foundation, a Mac lipstick in the shade 'creme in your coffee' which I am loving at the moment, and then just some hand gel.

I think this picture just sums up the weather we are having in the UK at the moment, I am carrying an umbrella and sunglasses! The umbrella I have at the moment is the amazing Pandora one I got from work. And I need some new sunglasses but these are just some ones from Topshop. 

If you know me, you will know I will not be anywhere without a hairbrush, I probably brush my hair a bit too often to be honest. So that is an essential for my bag, and then I also have the worlds smallest pencil case as my friends like to call it. Its basically just got enough room for two pens and a highlighter, which is all I need for uni. So its perfect. (I do have a bigger one too, just don't like carrying that round with me everywhere)

I shall start with my little business card holder. I have this to keep my business cards in and any that I get given, to keep them nice and safe. I then have my mini mac book which is actually a pocket mirror (Which you may have seen on my 'what I got for Christmas haul') And then lastly, when I was at work the other day I took a few of my charms off my bracelet so I popped it in that little pouch for now. 

And lastly, your bag would be pretty useless without your keys. I have my house keys for Uni and my house keys for home along with my car keys.

And that is everything that I take round with me in my bag! If you guys have done a similar post, I would love to see what you keep in yours!
