My Labour Story

Hey! 

I wasn't sure about writing a blog post about my labour but I did a poll on my Instagram and everyone who voted, voted yes that you would read it so I thought why not? Don't worry, I won't go into too much detail.

I also don't have any pictures from my labour that I would like to share as I want to keep them for myself to look back at but I'll share some photos of Poppy moments after she was born that I feel are appropriate to share.  This will probably be a long blog post so grab yourself a cuppa!

Where have I been?

Happy New Year everyone!  You're probably wondering where the hell I've been....or you probably couldn't care less haha! In my last post, which was a year a go, I said I wanted to start blogging more and I was going to make an effort in doing so but we all know that didn't happen. 

Just for £5! - Pink dress and Black Suede Wedges

Okay can I just say that I think I love this website! Just For Five Pounds have done it again for me as I have found this amazing dress and these amazing shoes at just £5 each! That's cray cray! This dress is so me! Skater dresses are my favourite style of dress as I find them to be so flattering and I love cut out detail! The bottom part of the dress is a gorgeous light pink colour which reminds me of a Ballet tutu and I like the black on the top. On to the shoes......these are amazing!!! I loooooooove the gold trimming around them and I like how they look easy to walk in as they have the platform! I love wedges and I don't think I'll ever go back to wearing heels as I've got used to walking in wedges. These are just gorgeous! 

Have you been on the Just For Five Pounds website recently and found anything that's caught your eye? Let me know as you all know, I love a good bargain! xoxo

Bodycon Style

Just bought this dress from www.missguided.co.uk in the sale for £20.99. I've never bought a bodycon dress so I bought it in a size up as I don't want every lump and bump to be on show. I went for it in black as black is so slimming and I love the cut out detail just above the stomach. I really hope this dress will look amazing on me just like it looks amazing on this model. 

Welcome To Gemstrends

Hello! So I've decided to start blogging and have no idea how it's going to go! I want to do it for a bit of fun and because I love reading and following other peoples blogs and also love watching beauty gurus on YouTube! This isn't going to be one of those beauty blogs but will have a bit of everything in it such as fashion, some beauty products as I am subscribed to GlossyBox so I want to share with you what I receive every month, and just simply other things that are going on in my life. So who am I? My name's Gemma and I'm 23. I'm from Scotland and work full time as an Optical Assitant in an Opticians at the moment. Thats me in the picture above being a bit of a bam really and taking an "selfie" for Instagram :D I would love some suggestions from anyone as to what I should blog about and what people would love to see!
