I haven't read the books, not had I really heard of them before the movie, but when I saw the trailer for this film, I thought it looked awesome.
I am quite a fan of fantasy stuff such as Doctor Who and Harry Potter, and this looked like a good fantasy film, so today, I went with a couple of my friends to go and see it, and I was not dissapointed.

We were a bit worried, because all the critics had given it terrible reviews. They were really harsh about it!
Now i'm not going to give away any of the film, but all i'm going to say is that I absolutely loved it, and I hope they continue to make the books into films.
In all honesty, it was a little bit confusing to follow at some points, but it was really unexpected at many parts.

We also can't ignore how beautiful the three main actors are. Lets take a look.
First up, Lily Collins. I did a style post on her yesterday, and she really is absolutely beautiful, and she was perfect for the role.

Next is Jamie Campbell Bower, and he is pretty much perfect. Look at those cheekbones!

Finally, Robert Sheehan. Oh how I love you Robert. He is actually beautiful, and also, like the other two, an amazing actor.

So in conclusion, I will be buying the books, and I strongly recommend this film. It's pretty brilliant, and although it's over 2 hours long, it doesn't feel like that when you're in the cinema. A definite must-see in my opinion.

Sorry this was a pretty terrible blog post, I haven't had much time, but I wanted to get something out to you!

After doing a post on Mollie King (here) , and Pixie Lott's (here) style, it's now another celebrities turn. This time it's actress, Lily Collins. She's everywhere right now, as she's starring in new film "The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones", so I thought I would do a post on some of my favourite outfits by her. I think her style is great, and effortless, yet she always looks beautiful. She knows what suits her, and what doesn't. Enjoy!

She's just so beautiful!
I love her, and her style so much!

What do you think of her style? Love or loathe?

I actually have a whole series of 'Style Files" on my blog, which you can check out below! :

I am so sorry I haven't blogged this week, i've literally been so busy with school, (i'm in my last year, ah!), and when i've came home i've literally just wanted to eat food and sleep, because i'm stressed and not in my happiest mood ever...

Basically it's not been a great week for me, i'm super duper stressed about my artwork for Advanced Higher Art course, and my school is in the process of picking out prefects (around 80 people applied in my year, and they need to limit it to 30...), so I had to fill out an application about "Why I would make a good prefect", and to add to that, I had to do an interview, but just as I was about to go in today, the fire alarm went off, so I need to re-schedule it for tomorrow morning, so i'm bloomin' terrified about that! It's with one of the teachers I know as well, and in most peoples eyes that's a good thing, but I would rather have a teacher that didn't know me at all, so I could start fresh, a clean slate and everything..


But anyway, that's schoolwork for you.. Next on the list is "interviews", and I spoke there about my prefect one, but I also have another one a week today.. I live in Glasgow.. and in case you didn't know, the Commonwealth Games are coming here next year, and I applied back in January to be a volunteer, and I heard back from them recently.. I got an interview. "Wow, Erin that's so good, only half the people gt interviews, you must be s chuffed!" Might be along the lines of what you're thinking.. Maybe not, but anyway, yes, i'm super pleased they've considered me for an interview, and it's in Sports Competition, which is basically the best thing, you get to help the competitors, and be right in the middle of the action.. Sounds perfect?
I had to fill in a bit in the application about what sports I enjoy, and if I did any sports .. Now I put down that I loved athletics, and also liked swimming, and that I ran a lot when I was little, and that I liked swimming..
You would think I would maybe be put in the athletics/swimming place? Or somewhere similar, yes? Wrong..
I got wrestling..
I don't agree with wrestling, I don't like it, I don't think it's a sport, and i've never watched a full match.. oops?
So that'll be interesting to see how that goes. Did any of you get an interview for the Commonwealth Games? What was it for?

So finally, you'll see "Hiking" in the title. In a week on Saturday, i'm going on my Duke of Edinburgh Expedition (Google it), and this is pretty much what I do..
Spend two nights in a tent, three days walking, up hills, down hills, across rivers, for 7 hours each day...
How fun..
I've done a Bronze one last year (one night two days), and although it was actually so tiring, it was a lot of fun, so i'm dreading it, but also looking forward to it!

(Us on our DofE last year, we look so happy! L-R: Fiona, Kate, Jennie, Me, Eilidh)

So that's a little update on my life, it's not my usual style, but I just wanted a little change. Hope you didn't find it too boring!

Oh! As a little side note, if anyone is looking for new music, and haven't heard of British pop-rock band "Lawson", then you are missing out! They actually previewed their new single today, called "Juliet", and it is fab. I shall link you to it below, and at midnight, you can pre-order it, so get doing that!

I was about to head to work this morning, and at the complete last minute I decided that I quite liked my outfit today, so I took a few quick snaps, ready to show you guys! (Excuse the crappy quality, they were taken on my iPod).

With only a little bit of product

After the product was built up more, you can see that it's quite a bit bolder.

I really seem to love doing beauty tags, don't I? I saw this one and I decided I would do it, because it looks quite interesting. I found this on this blog here, and I thought I would give it a shot:)

On this lovely blog here, called "GirlFridaysBeautyBlog" , i saw that there was a September Beauty Blog Challenge, and it looks like fun, so come September, i'm going to try my hardest to do the following, and blog every single day in September! (The only downside is that on the first of September, I actually can't blog, because i'm away on an expedition, but there will be two on Monday to make up for it, so that still counts... right?) Anyway, the following list is what I can do, and there are two options, lifestyle, and beauty. I think i'll do a mix of the two, some days doing both of them, and others, just either or.

Not long ago, I wrote a blog post about Mollie King's style (you can find it here), and I thought I would turn "Style Files" into a kind of series of posts, just because I enjoyed writing them, and you all seemed to enjoy looking at them!
So next up is one of my (many) female style icons/crushes/idols, British singer, Pixie Lott. I have literally been a fan of Pixie, and her style, since her first single, and like Mollie, she rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.
Below are a few picks of some of my favourite outfits worn by Pixie. Enjoy!
