NEW BLOG NAME AND URL

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/10344175/?claim=ekh3hvattxp">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Hey everyone!

Ever since I started my blog, I have wanted to change the name. Previously it was just my full name because I had NO idea what to call my blog but couldn't wait to start it, but I felt like it was really boring and long to say and I felt like it didn't really have its own name. 

I wanted something simple and still related to my name and I have finally decided to rename it Emilyke. Emilyke means 'little Emily' in Hungarian and is one of my nicknames from friends at work. I thought about it and decided it was exactly what I wanted; related to my name, very simple and not meaningless. So there we have it, 'emilyjaneosborne' is now Emilyke. Woohoo :)

This means I also now have a new site URL which is emilykebeauty.blogspot.com

I was a bit worried about changing the name seeing as it may not be recognised as the same blog and people might think it's someone else, but i've kept the rest of my layout the same for now and hopefully my lovely followers will see this post and realise it is me!

And a major downside to changing the name, I wasn't sure if it would change on Bloglovin or not and cause problems so stupid me unclaimed my blog and then reclaimed it as the new URL, therefore losing all my Bloglovin followers. :( So please please please if you were following me via Bloglovin, click here to refollow me!

Hope you like the new name! What do you think?

Chihuahuas and cocktails

In this recent sunny weather i've developed quite a thing for cocktails in pub/bar gardens. There's a lovely bar in my town which does 2 for 1 cocktails all day everyday so me and my work friends have become regular customers on our days off! It's so nice to just relax in the sun and have a laugh with a couple of yummy drinks!

On a trip here last week I wore a recent purchase from Forever 21 which has got to be one of my top favourite tops at the moment! I love animals and this cute little chihuahua top just had to be mine, I bought this on a trip to London just over a week ago in the Oxford Street store which is amaaaaaazing! I can't remember the exact price but it was pretty decent, I think somewhere around the £12 mark. I was feeling a lazy outfit day so threw on a pair of jeans and my favourite Converse.

What's your favourite cocktail? Do you like animal tees?

A day at the seaside

Hola! (that's me wishing I was on holiday)

My not so little anymore sister was 5 on Tuesday so we took her for a day out to Southend where we won pointless prizes in the 2p machines, ate ice cream and donuts and went on lots of rides in Adventure Island. When I say pointless, I mean seriously this is the only occasion where you would spend tubs galore of 2p's to win voodoo dolls, angry bird balls, the gangnam man and last but not least, 'fart face' the farting pillow.

I havn't been to Southend in a few years but I have been many times and I absolutely love it. Perhaps a 19 year old shouldn't be having so much fun playing on 2p machines and going on childrens rides but I had such a good day. It brings back memories of coming when I was little so it's a really nostalgic place for me. It wasn't the nicest of days, note cloudy skies in pictures, but that actually made it better for me! I can't walk about all day in the heat all day anyway and English sea sides are supposed to be cold and rainy right? It just adds to the experience!

Excuse the terrible mirror shot for my OOTD, it doesn't matter where in my house I place my camera, every outfit picture turns out as bright as if I were standing on the sun. Maybe it's something to do with the timer? I don't know but until I sort it out, I am stuck with wonderful mirror shots. I just wore leggings and this baggy top to be comfy and ready for a lot of walking about. My shoes were downstairs and I was in a rush hence why they're not in the photo, but I wore my leopard print Converse to be comfy and as I liked the colours with this top. To keep warm I threw on a chunky grey cardigan and my trusty leather jacket.

Top - Forever 21
Leggings - Select
Necklace - River Island
Lips - Elf matte lip colour in Coral (post coming soon!)

I had a lovely day out, it was so nice to get away and go back to a time in my life when all I cared about was the latest smelly gel pens. I loved spending the day with my sister for her birthday, which she declared the 'best birthday ever' and I shall be hoping to go back there again some time. Don't you just love relaxing days where you can just have fun and feel like a kid?
