NEW VIDEO!! JustSarahsVlogs

I finally uploaded a new video onto my channel. The wifi here in my student house is awful but I'm going to try my hardest to make it better because m last video too about 600 minutes to upload so I had to leave it overnight. 

The newest video is simply just an update of my time over the summer and a few little extra things that I haven't mentioned before. Here it is:

Spring Lookbook

So after quite a while with no videos I finally filmed and uploaded a new one!! I absolutely love lookbooks, they're my favourite thing to film and also watch on YouTube. So I decided to do 3 spring outfits for the upcoming sunny months. 

Here in England it's been warmer than usual so that's made me want to dig out the shorts and sunglasses so if it's not that warm where you are yet you could always put jackets or tights on with these outfits.

I thought I would go through my different outfits and where I got my clothes from and stuff in my blog instead of on YouTube so I can explain better.

Outfit 1- Casual

So for this first outfit all of the clothing is from New Look. A lot of the clothes in this are from New Look because there's a store at home and also where I live at uni, so I buy most of my new clothes from there.

The top is an off the shoulder one, which is a style I've always loved! I think it's a nice change to just an ordinary top and a bit more spring/summery because it shows off your shoulders. I didn't think I would like the stripes as much as I do, as I bought a second top like this (2 for £12) which was black but I still wear this one more. 

The jeans I got on offer at New Look, I think they were only £7. They didn't originally have the cuts in the knees, I did them myself but I think it just makes them look a bit different and edgier. 

And finally the shoes are my favourite things. I wear them most days because they are one of the comfiest pair of shoes I've ever owned. They also match all of my wardrobe which is handy and I love the 'Timbaland' feel of them even though I payed way less. They're pretty worn now but I think it makes them look a lot better.

Outfit 2- Spring Playsuit

This playsuit has become one of my new favourite outfits, I love everything about it. I think the pattern is very summery, whilst also being my favourite colour black. And the fit of the playsuit is great, with a tight upper half and then flippy shorts for the bottoms. I really like the top of the playsuit too and how it ties round my neck because I try not to show my chest off the best I can. And I just think the back is really pretty too. And the best part is that this was only £12 from Forever21 which I think is a bargain. I'll definitely be getting my money worth from this outfit. 

The shoes from New Look I've had for a while now and I think they're great. I don't like wearing really big heels as I'm tall enough as it is so these are good because the heel isn't huge and I don't end up towering over my friends. They're also really comfy, and can wear these all night with no problems. 

And finally I can't wait to wear this hat more often over spring and summer. It was a bargain from Primark and it just reminds me of sunhats that you wear on holiday or something you could wear to a festival.

Outfit 3- 

And the top in this outfit is actually new, this was the first time I'd worn it. I'd seen them in pictures online for ages and always wanted one of the tops with the slits up the sides. I think they look great with shorts underneath or even leggings in the colder weather. They just scream festival fashion so that's why I bought this one from New Look.

The shorts are from George at Asda, which is an English supermarket but I so love some of the clothes from George. These are white denim with small buttons on the sides and I think they match this top pretty well. 

And finally the shoes are another pair that I wear daily. I usually wear these on a night out if I'm not wearing heels because they're a bit high but also extremely comfortable. I think they'll be great again for spring and summer when the weather stays nice.

Lastly my sunglasses that I wear with these outfits are from Afflecks which is a collection of shops in Manchester. These are the first round sunglasses I've bought but I love this style and will definitely be buying more like this.

My earrings are just a simple set of silver hoops from Dorothy Perkins I think which I wear almost daily too.

And my watch is also from Asda and I just like the plainness of it because it's just simple black and gold with a leather strap. It was also a bargain at only £8.

So that's all of my outfits for the lookbook. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here.

I hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to get back to the weekly videos again!

Also a huge thanks to Serena over at Serena's Life who helped me shoot the whole thing and take all these great pictures! Go check her page out!

As always stay happy,

I'M BACK! LIFE UPDATE

My only excuse this time is university work, which I didn't realise was going to take over my time so much!

So what have I actually been doing for a month you might ask? 

Well for my course I've had essays and stories to write that took more time than I expected them to. I've also had to plan and film a short film that took up a lot of my time too. And excitedly I also starred in another groups short film, which I've never done before and it went really well!

But the boring stuff out of the way, I've also got addicted to Netflix... I was kind of late to the party but I finally got it and it was a bad idea, I should've just waited til summer! Currently I'm in the middle of the third season of Pretty Little Liars and I love it! I pretty much have girl crushes on all the girls and actual crushes on the guys! I already do know who 'A' is (or at least the name) because of stupid spoilers but I still can't wait to catch up to date properly. There's also so much I want to watch on there, it's just having the time to. 

Another project I've taken an interest in is a new group we created called HyperNation. It's a group of people from my university and basically we're a media platform- we will be creating music videos for local bands, create short films and plan and carry out events in nightclubs locally for now. It's something we're all very passionate about and things are getting started for us right now. If you want to check it out here's the social links:

I'M GONNA BE ON TV!!

So a few weeks ago I got contacted by a woman from 4Music and she asked me if I wanted to send in a question to the artist Charli XCX. I've always loved her music and it's her music videos that catch my eye the most. 

So I decided to ask her about her inspiration for her music videos. I sent my video in and then I got told they'd get back to me when they knew it would be aired.

I got the email back yesterday that it would be up on the 4Music YouTube channel today at some point so I'm not even gonna lie, I was on it all day waiting for it to come on! And it finally did!!

If you want to watch me ask Charli XCX a question check out the video here!! 

Charli XCX: Face The Fans

I'm the second person to ask a question just in case you were wondering and not to brag but Charli says that she likes me (so we're basically best friends!)

I'm so chuffed to be on this and even more amazingly it's going to be aired on TV on Monday!

It'll be on the 4Music TV Channel at 4pm on Monday 2nd March and I can't wait!

I have to thank Grivas from 4Music to help me through this and be so co-operative with me.

So if you're free then or would like to check out the YouTube video it would be GREATLY appreciated. 

Thank you very much

Boohoo Haul!

I've been very naughty lately and did a huge Boohoo Haul with my christmas money. But I did get a lot of bargains in the process!

I did a video here where I show you what all the clothes look like on and I'll explain them here in this blog post!

Boohoo Haul

The first dress is the Hannah Printed Off The shoulder Dress. I love the fact that this is off the shoulder, a few of the clothes in this haul are. I also usually buy just simply plain black clothes but this time I wanted to go for something different so I chose this patterned one. It was also only £8 instead of £15 so it was a good purchase.

The next was another off the shoulder dress, the Rita Off The Shoulder Bodycon Dress. It's similar to the first dress but it's a lot tighter on the body instead, making it a less casual dress. I also got it in black because that's pretty much all I wear! This was only £10 but I think it's a great staple piece to have in your wardrobe.

Next is one of my favourites, the Kendall Cage Sleeve Detail Dress. I would never normally buy a long sleeved dress but I love the cut outs on the sleeves. It's not a tight dress which I like too because it makes it more casual. This was only £15 too and I'd wanted it for ages so I finally bought it for myself.

The next is very different from my usual taste. I'm never one for bold prints because my hair is quite fussy so I thought it wouldn't suit but I took a chance. The love the fact that it has open sleeves too because it just makes the dress more interesting. This is the Callie Open Shoulder Floral Shift Dress and it's only £6 instead of £15 which is a big bargain.

This is also a very different pattern again for the same reason as it being too fussy but I really like this one. I love the mesh detail on the sides of the shorts and the tie around the waist because I think it gives me more shape. It's quite low down which is something I'd never usually buy but I thought I'd give it a chance and it doesn't look too bad. This playsuit is the Elissia Neon Floral Mesh Insert Tie Waist Playsuit and it was a huge bargain at only £5!

This playsuit is one of my favourite purchases of this haul. It's so plain and simple but I love it. The shorts are flippy and the cut of the playsuit is really flattering. It's the Ashleigh Turtle Neck Cap Sleeved Playsuit and it was only £8. I also decided to choose the berry colour for a change instead of the normal black.

This is dress was just for casual nights out as it's plain but still a bodycon. It's just a simple black dress but with a curved hem line which I think makes it just that little bit more interesting. It's the Taylor Curved Hem Roll Sleeved T-Shirt Dress and it was only £12. It comes in different colours but as always I chose black!

This dress is so out of my comfort zone it's unreal! For one, again it's patterned which I usually steer clear from but I just loved the shape of this dress. I must've been in a summer mood as I wouldn't wear this in the cold weather yet. I've fallen in love with this maxi dress though, which is a button down and also has huge splits up the sides. I can't wait to wear this dress in Spring/Summer. It's the Terri Paisley Button Through Maxi Dress.

The first pair of shorts I got were also something I'd never usually get. They're high waisted with kind of a geometric pattern on them. They're such a nice material and sit really well on my hips. They also fit in with my normal black and white theme. They are the Gail Grid Print Chiffon Skater Short and they were only £10 which I think is a bargain.

Lastly is this pair of flippy shorts that I think are quite casual so I've been wearing them to my lectures with tights alot but you could also wear them with a cropped top on a night out. They're also that lovely berry colour. They're the Ruby Plain Flippy Culottes and they were only £6 which I think is a massive bargain, I might even get more in the future in different colours.

So I hope you enjoyed this haul of Boohoo clothes. I don't think I'll be buying much now, my student loan is dwindling significantly. Thanks for watching/reading and don't forget to check the video out for this post!

Autumn Lookbook!

So my newest video is my Autumn Lookbook including affordable clothes from Primark, New Look and Boohoo. I was so excited to film this video!

Check it out here>> Autumn Lookbook

So I'll get started on the looks.

The first one is a cute girly one, with the dress and the long socks, but also has an urban look to it with the checkered shirt and chunky winter boots.

The dress is a new purchase from Boohoo and it's a soft black material with a turtle neck to keep you warm. I've only worn it for this shoot but I've fallen in love with it immediately, I might even have to get it in different colours!

The shirt was actually given to me but it's bigger than my normal size so it looks baggy. I wear this shirt with most of my clothes, with the sleeves rolled up and it makes a great jacket. I do know that it's from New Look though where there are some amazing shirts at the minute.

The knee high socks are just everyday ones that you can pretty much get from anywhere. I think they're good with this outfit because you can keep yourself warm whilst also looking good. I think they look great with the boots too.

The boots are another new purchase from New Look. I wanted some winter boots for ages and fell in love with these ones. They're a bit pricier at just under £30 but I think they're worth it for the winter months because they keep my feet nice and warm and are really sturdy and comfortable too.

The next look is a more casual one that I'd probably wear to a lecture or to go shopping in. 

My top is actually from Primark and it was an incredible £3! So I bought one in black and grey. Even though they're cropped tops and look thin they actually keep you really warm. It must be the material they're made of.

My jeans are also from Primark and they're just plain black ones that were £7. I added the rips in the knees myself making them look more expensive than they actually are and I think that's a better idea than buying some with rips in. I've done this to a number of my jeans myself.

My shoes are another new purchase from Boohoo. They're chunky loafers that have quite a high heel on them but I think they'll go with a lot of my clothes and I can't wait to wear them out.

And lastly is my scarf which is also from Primark. It was only £6 and it's reversible, so each side has a different thing on it. I love the dark colours because I think they match my clothes the most. This is also one of the warmest scarves I've ever owned, I'm forever wrapping it round me when I'm out and even when I'm at home.

And this outfit is probably one of my favourites.

Firstly the top is from Primark again (I'm in love) and it's the perfect autumn/winter cropped top. The sleeves are long and warm and the material is super soft, I'll be wearing it a lot this winter.

And these jeans I'm also in love with. I've wanted a pair of boyfriend jeans for ages and I finally bought these ones from Boohoo with huge rips in. These are so comfy, and I feel I could wear them in the day but also if I was to go out at night with a really nice pair of heels. 

And lastly the heels I actually bought from Manchester Market in the Arndale. I shop there a lot for my shoes because they're not that expensive and they're great quality too. They're easy to walk in and they're really comfy too so I feel I could wear them for a full night out. 

And my last outfit was an unplanned one so I don't have any pictures but you'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the video. This is my comfy outfit and I wear this every time I'm in my room or halls.

The top is from New Look and it's just a simple high neck black top with no sleeves. It's so comfy and I can lounge around in it all day. 

The joggers I grabbed in the sale at Forever 21 because I haven't actually got a pair. These are lined inside so they're super soft and comfortable and they were also a bargain so I'm happy!

My favourite slippers are only £3 from Primark and they're the softest thing I've ever felt. They also have little sticky pads of the bottom so I don't go sliding down the corridor when I wear them.

The headphones that I wear in my video are some I bought from Urbanears and they're the Plattan ones in white. These have great sound quality which is great for editing or listening to music.

My dressing gown I've actually had a while so couldn't remember where I got it from but I've found out it's from a shop/brand called Camille which make super soft and comfy night wear and it must be good quality if I've had this one for a few years!

So that's all my outfits from my Autumn Lookbook.

New Autumn Beginnings!

So it's been a while!! Actually it's been over a month! So disgraceful of me and I'm actually ashamed because I've had so many things happen in my life. 

Obviously I'm still settling into my university environment so that's taken a while to get used to, my schedule and living alone but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I also feel as though I've sort of had an epiphany this week. I feel refreshed and like I can achieve anything. Blog and video ideas have been spurting out of my head so quickly I've hardly had time to write them all down. I feel as though I needed a small break from my blog and YouTube because I'd run out of ideas and lots of things got in the way. I had a few off weeks where I stayed in bed for most of it due to my anxiety and a horrible cold and I also started seeing someone so I spent most of my time with them.

But now I've been able to divide my time between my work and my hobby because I'm so determined not to give this up! Because I enjoy doing it so much. And yes I have a lot of work due soon but I think it's possible to balance my work and my relaxing time very well. 

So I am back on the scene so you'd better watch out for more blog posts and videos to be up soon because I'm so excited to get back into it!

Also if you have any promoting tips for my blog and YouTube, I'd be very grateful for your help!

As always, Stay Happy

Youtube!

So recently on my YouTube Channel I managed to pass the 100 subscriber mark, and I know it doesn't seem like lots but I was so chuffed that 100 people were subbed to me. I think of it by imaging them all standing in front of me, and then I realise that 100 is actually quite a lot of people! 

Also two of my videos also got over the 1,000 views mark which baffles me even more! 

I'm extremely grateful for everyone that subs to me and comments because I really do enjoy making videos and I just hope everyone else likes them too! 

Overall I'm just saying that I'm super happy with how my channel is going so far and thought I would have a post where you can see all of my favourite videos all in one place!

Firstly the two videos with over 1,000 views which I'm so proud of!

Bloggers Do Sunshine Better!

I'm so late with this post because I had two exams this Monday and Tuesday so I was cramming in as much revision as possible! I decided to do something different with this weeks post and link it in with my YouTube Channel JustSarahsVlogs.

So this this week I've done a video about how you can make this really easy summer t-shirt from an old one lying around (I know you all have one!)

So if you want to check the video out, here it is!

New Videos :)

I'm a proper trooper with two videos in less than a week! I think...

Anyways my first one is a simple Lush and Primark Haul with a few things thrown in here>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrplfEI-KSA

And my second one is a list of all of my Summer Bucketlist, even though it's only April you have no idea how excited I am! >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8HrM11XR2Q

I also have a special gift...kind of...

If you've never heard of a website called 8 Tracks before then where have you been!? 

8 Tracks is a music website where you can listen to and make your own playlists with practically any songs you want. It's perfect to just plug in and listen too, and I've discovered so many amazing songs and bands that I didn't know about! You can also get an app for your iPhone and hopefully Android :)

So I made my own playlist of all my favourite summer songs right now that I thought I would share with you guys if it's sunny where you live and you're in a good mood. In includes pop/indie songs and I listen to it all the time. Also whilst your over there you can make your own account and save playlists you like, and comment on them. You can also make your own to listen to whenever you want!

So you can check my playlist out here>> wanderlust

Hope you liked it!!

2013 Review Part 2!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I didn't have time to put this post up yesterday so I'm doing it now! Wow it really doesn't feel like a new year but this year is going to be amazing!

So I'll carry on where I left off which was July.

July:

In July I did most of my AS exams and finished my first year of college on a high note.

I then spent some time doing my videos and I uploaded these three with my best friend:

Cotton Wool Ball Challenge

Best Friend Tag Pt1

Best Friend Tag Pt2

I felt I was getting better at the whole videoing process but that my videos were still really long.

I then went on holiday with my family to Fuengirola. I had a really good time, and the place is amazing and the hotel was great, they were a good family hotel with loads of things to do throughout the day.

Here are some pictures:

Also whilst I was on holiday it was my 17th birthday so I had a great time by the pool and shopping to celebrate :)

I even opened some presents by the pool

When I got back I filmed another video doing my make-up routine. I should really update this because it's changed so much and I hardly use any of these products anymore.

My Make-up Routine

It was on my summer bucketlist that you can see here>> Summer to go to a beach so when I got back I planned to go to Blackpool with three of my friends. We got the train which was exciting because I hardly ever get trains. When we got there we were very touristy, we played miniature golf, ate fish and chips, went on a little boat on a river, walked down the pier and had doughnuts and then went on the beach. Unfortunately it started raining pretty heavily but we didn't let that stop us!

August:

In August I carried on with my bucketlist, tie dying loads of clothes. I bought lots of tops from Primark in different styles and some clothes dye from Wilkinson's that wasn't expensive at all and we set out to do it.

Check out the blog post I did here >>>Tie Dying

I love the results!

I also did another shoot that is one of my all time favourites this year with my friends. I love using Tash as my model because she will pretty much do anything, no matter how horrible. Here are some edits that I love:

In the summer I kind of got my first job thing at a Country Fair that I go to every year. We went the second day and every single year I go to the archery tent because I absolutely love it. I was talking to the guy that was doing it and I told him that I come every year and he said that the usual people who work here can't work tomorrow so he asked if I wanted to work. I immediately said yes because he said I could shoot whenever I wanted. So the next day I worked with him, collecting arrows and teaching all kinds of people to shoot. I really enjoyed it and it was a great first 'job'. I also got paid really well too, which I couldn't really complain about!

Sept:

So in September I went back to college as an A2 student and carried on three subjects, media, photography and psychology. 

I filmed a Summer faves video here>>> Summer Favourites

In my media class we could choose what project we wanted to do so I decided to do a music video and so did my friend Robyn. So we decided to work together and we were quick to decide what song and theme we wanted to do before anybody else. 

So we got ready and filmed it quickly which was such a fun night. We filmed at Robyn's house and invited loads of people because we wanted a party vibe and I didn't know anyone but I met loads of cool people.

I also started my Photography Unit 3 which was based around Street Life so I took my brother and some friends out to take pictures of them skateboarding. Here are some I like:

I also had a free house one night so invited my friends round for a sleepover and we decided to play Slenderman. I did originally film the gameplay too so we could incorporate them both but unfortuantely it didn't work properly so I just edited the footage we got. I really enjoyed filming and editing this and it's absolutely hilarious to watch. Check it out here>>> Slenderman Reactions

I also took part in the Alzheimer's Society memory walk to raise money for the Society. I took part with my friends and I had a great time.

October:

So October was some of the first 18th birthdays of my friends and I was really excited but it felt weird that some of us were finally 18.

I also went to Vogue's Fashion Night Out in Manchester. I'd heard of it before but it's usually in London so this year I saw that it was coming to Manchester. I loved dressing up and going out and the places were amazing. I did a little vlog/update from then here>>> Update and FNO

I had a really good time with my friends

Me and my friends also booked the holiday that we wanted to go on together this year. Roll on Zante 2014! I'm really excited but nervous at the same time because it's the first time away without parents or anything but I'm excited to go with ten of my friends.

I also filmed two other videos:

My First Time

Pumpkin Carving

Nov:

In November I started a little project that already exists called Dear Photograph. It is made my someone called Taylor Jones and it's all about memories. Here is one I did:

In November we had also finished our media coursework. I'm so proud of this video and me and Robyn spent lots of time and effort on this. Please check it out, and give feedback, the more then the better our coursework will be! 

Madeon - Technicolour

I also went to watch Tyler Ward with my best friend. It was such a small gig, about fifty people there and it was also his last UK date which was exciting. I was a little nervous because I'd never been to a gig but I really enjoyed it! I vlogged it here>> Tyler Ward Vlog

Just when we thought that our media coursework couldn't get better we got TWO comments of Madeon himself! We sent him the video on Facebook and got this in return-

And then to make it even better we got this comment on our YouTube Video!

We were so excited we didn't know what to do with ourselves! This was definitely a highlight of my year!

I also filmed a November Favourites Video here>> November Favourites

Dec:

I filmed a Winter Lookbook in December that I'm actually really proud of. It turned out just how I wanted it too and I'm going to do a lot more videos like this in the future!

Winter Lookbook

And then you pretty much know the other stuff that happened. If you haven't seen my updated blog then check it out here>>> Christmas Time Illness

So finally here we are, 2014. This is the year of:

-18ths 

-Little Mix

-One Direction

-My 18th

- Zante 2014

-Start of Uni

and much much more!

I'm so excited for this year in terms of blogging and making new videos so bring it on!

Stay Happy

Sarah
