This is me trying to look sophisticated at the event. I'm wearing an old H&M black cropped jumper from last years sale and some spotted cropped trousers also from H&M and seen in my last outfit post (sorry, outfit repeater! They're just so amazing!) with my heeled chelsea boots. Also the clutch on the sofa my boyfriend bought me for christmas from Urban Outfitters.

Last time I did one of these was around christmas time, so I am definitely due an update! This is abit of a cop-out post, and it's scheduled as right now I'll be in London in my 3rd week of interning for Myla London. Anyway! Here's what I've been up to recently.

1. Yes you saw this picture last night, but for some reason I like it!
2. Sunday roast at spoons is literally the best roast, had this whilst catching up with fellow friend and blogger Beth at Voilet Delight

11. Last week I got sent to the portobello road store on my internship and I absolutely fell in love with the place! such a pretty area of London.

Leave me your instagram usernames in a comment below, I love seeing new ones!

I decided with my last post and the re-arranging of my blog layout I would add a new feature to my post's and this is one of those 'a week of instagram' posts, just to brighten up my blog and be a bit more personal with you guys, and if you follow me on instagram (@emmasalterr) already then great! But if you don't, don't! I take quite a few pictures daily, I'm literally obsessed, I was even taking photos on instagram before I got a iphone... I won't tell you how as it's too embarrassing but I used to go to all sorts of lengths to get that vintage-esque artsy fartsy look on boring photos. So I thought I would do a big one first, here are a few of my favourites from the last couple of months... hope you enjoy! P.s please let me know what you think of this instalment! :)


01. Pretty pleased with my latest nail polish purchase, from h&m this glittery gloss works great layered up as I love chunky glitter!

20. Me and my lovely boyfriend of 5 months, Joe :)

A few months ago, me and my boyfriend went to Bristol for a day out as I had never been shopping in Calbot Circus so wanted to see what all the fuss was about! I wasn't too impressed if I'm honest! But that's because I'm used to West Quay in Southampton on a daily basis and the odd trip to Westfields, I found the whole area confusing and out of place, but anyway! Whilst there I wanted to check out the Urban Outfitters, Over the last 2 years I've become more and more obsessed with the store and can feel it creeping towards the #1 spot (currently held by Topshop) as one of my favourite retailers. Joe (boyfriend) was feeling generous and told me I could get something and he'd pay, so I jumped at the vintage renewal section in search for a oversized patterned shirt and one caught my eye over in the sale! I rushed to the changing room to try it on and even the fitting room attendant said she hadn't seen it yet and wanted it for herself which was boosted thee old ego a bit, once in the changing room I noticed on the mirror they had a hash-tag for Instagram, and being an Instagram obsessive I took a picture in my shirt and hash-tagged it, not realising 2 months later it would be chosen for the urban outfitters newsletter for all to see...



Theres me, bottom row in the middle! A few of my friends took the mickey and I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, does this make me famous or what?

I'll know to be careful next time!
