Stories Behind My Instagram Posts


I've been feeling rather autumnal lately those of you who check my instagram will already know this. Autumn is my absolute favourite season. Who couldn't love the warm winter jumper weather, the boots that walk across browns and yellows leaves, and even the amazing sun sets that make all of our Instagram pages 10 times more amazing. So anyway i thought i'd talk about what my photo's on my Instagram mean (the back stories basically).

1. Wyevale is a garden centre based in Brighton where they sell... well... garden stuff. But, a few days ago Wyevale had their Christmas special event in which my family and i were invited to. It was super cute, we all got mulled wine and mince pies, there was Christmas decoration everywhere you looked, it just felt a tingle of what's to come in December. When i was a child we all used to go up there and see Santa Claus and he'd give me a present but i wasn't aloud to open it until Christmas, it was always something silly like a colouring book or pencil case but the whole anticipation was always worth it. I used to and still love going up there. 

2. The cat. Everyone knows i'm obsessed with cats and at one point i did have 7. Including this little munchkin, she was given to my Uncle to look after as he too is cat obsessed. However the poor little thing had a bit of an accident leaving her with a broken leg. My Uncle and his girlfriend had planned this half term to go away for a few days so he gave Sammy (the kitten) to us to look after. It's been quite a week, she's not aloud to jump off of things so of course she does, she has to sleep in a collar in which she can slip out from, and her bed for the past week has been a baby cot. She is a much loved kitty so the idea of having her put down was never an option. She is recovering well and has been an absolute sweetheart, but i am knackered now.

3. The selfie. I've been using my Naked Basic Palette to complete my make-up for this Autumn. Any eyeshadow that is purple, brown, orange, or neutral is a perfect finish for your look. You can find great tutorials on Youtube o if you're a little wobbly on how to do your eyes check some out. The tricks is to add a little at a time.

4. Lastly, the sunset. I took this on my way to work the other day at Hollingbury, i just thought the colours complemented my theme on Instagram and expressed the autumnal weather in one. All my photo's are taken on my Apple Iphone 5 and edited with the instagram filters. Just fiddle about with the brightness and hey presto you've got yourself a worthy insta pic. 

Hope you all have a happy Halloween.
