Damn! There are a lot more of you reading this than there were yesterday!
Hello peoples and yes this is my new blog :)
I kept it quiet mainly because I wanted to just see how I felt about the routine of blogging. I didn't want to be the annoying bitch who set up a new blog only to turnaround a week later and say..."nah, can't be arsed. Laterz."
So count this as a fresh start and here we are :) There will be no YouTube videos but there will be blogposts abound so welcome!
I should warn you that this blog may also be a little bit different from the old one - if anything more random and less makeup focussed. Because let's face it, I know sweet FA about makeup really. Today for example I just slathered on the Studio Fix Fluid, applied 15 layers of mascara and wore a lip balm....I have a lot to learn and nothing to teach anyone :)
In other news...
Today I wore another one of my "interesting" Cheap Monday tops.
Black is bloody hard to photograph so I gave up...all I will say is that it looks like a conventional vest top but drapes on one side down to ankle length. ASOS have it on their site so this will give you a better idea. Link!
It's semi-amazing like all Cheap Monday things.
Here are some photos that fail to demonstrate it....black blob!
I would rather not wear a jacket/coat with this top...I don't have anything long enough but due to the rain I whipped out my Sonia Rykiel mac.
Another fantastic buy, I got this in the mywardrobe.com sale at the beginning of this year and I am waiting for their summer sale to start....they have the best bargains and there is a Missoni dress I have been revisiting for the last 6 months....fingers crossed.
Talking of Missoni....best San Pellegrino bottle ever?
Hey...I did warn you...this was going to be a random blog! :)
PS. Outfit details...

I am tempted to wear this without the leggings when I am back in Dubai....I think I could maybe get away with it if worn with flats...we'll see.

Hello! Glad to have you back :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back; I'd been re-reading your old posts and was starting to run out. I only got into blogging because of yours. :)

ReplyDeleteSo pleased you're back!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the new direction your blogging is taking! Right up my street :)

Laura Elizabeth xo
I think you just made that beautiful top sell out, Laura! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are back Laura :) <3
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog! I like that there seems to be more of a fashion focus as I really like your style. Love the Missoni bottle too!
ReplyDelete@CharlotteObsession - you need one! I want the pink one next. I have looked at other bags but the Miu Miu is just unique. Luckily they are now part of the staple Miu Miu line so we have plenty of time to save up :)
ReplyDelete@LauraElizabeth - thank you do much for reading!
@Musing on Beauty - haha I doubt it but it is a lovely top! Highly recommend!
@Claire - thank you :)
@Becky - fashion was always the first love. these days i would rather buy clothes than makeup :) just reallocated where i waste my money haha
@Michelle- thank you so much!
ReplyDelete@Lorraine - glad I can give you some new material :) haha
I love this new direction. It sort of takes the pressure off you a little too as your old blog and youtube had become so 'big'. This seems lovely and relaxed :) xxx

ReplyDeleteOh, Laura! How I've missed you so! You look lovely as usual. I need that cheap monday dress! xo
ReplyDelete@Mel!- thanks Mel :) x

Soooo happy you are back Laura! I've been a follower of yours since 2008 and it's like rediscovering you all over again! I am loving the "randomness" of the blog - it's such a breath of fresh air in comparison to some other blogs at the moment! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI am so over the moon that you are blogging again! Your writing inspired me to start my own blog earlier in the year :) So happy you are back, Laura!
ReplyDeletemissmoofy.blogspot.com
Great to have you back! You were truly missed. I still peruse your old blog posts whenever I need to see a swatch or read a review on something lol
ReplyDeleteI'm also so excited to see you blogging again. My wallet & bank account on the other hand? I think they just ran away thelma and louise style whoops
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you're back :D and it's great that you write about fashion, your life and your amaizing hair :D :*
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you blogging again!:) I have just read all the posts here:)Thank God its sunday evening so I cant go out and hunt for few things I saw here!;)
ReplyDeleteI love the bag, right now Im saving to buy similar brown one:)
YAY Welcome back. Look forward to reading more blog posts from you.
ReplyDeletehttp://hairandbeautylicious.blogspot.com/
Good to have you back! :)
ReplyDeleteyay you're back, I am happy. I love those shoes, love love love x
ReplyDeleteI think you have Kelly (Kelanjo) to thank for your influx of readers!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're blogging again and I love this Cheap Monday top.
I know I said this just yesterday, but I am delighted to see you back :) You look great! Beautiful and tan! I love that trench on you, I remember when you bought it and wish I had jumped on it too! Love those flats as well, what a gorgeous color. You know more about makeup than you give yourself credit for ;)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, Laura! Love your new design and approach to blogging. I recently discovered Cheap Monday too...amazing tops, dresses and jeans!!
ReplyDelete@ Laura : Sometimes I think wearing only black can look very classy and I usually pair it with brownish make up look.
ReplyDeleteI like the fun touch of your shoes and of course the purse!
Oooooo ... I've missed you so much!!!! You made my day! Welcome back beauty - good to see you!
ReplyDeletegreetings from vienna :)
LAURA! Other Laura! The leaf necklace... did you get that from Theresa Mink on Etsy???
ReplyDeleteso so happy to see you back blogging again but blogging how you want to not how everyone thinks you should. hopefully it will inspire people to be themselves and do what they feel natural and happy with. i love your personal style and its so great seeing it in these posts =) xxx
ReplyDeleteohh! i missed you! i checked every now and then your old blog if you came back.. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that top/dress ... I have one a teeny bit similar that goes down at one side. I wear with denim shorts on holidays and a nice little straw hat. Wearing it at home is difficult though because of the jacket situation like you say.
ReplyDeleteP.s Nice to have you back! xx
I love your bag, your blog and I am proud to be your new follower with google friend connect! :)
ReplyDeleteI would be delighted if you liked my blog enough to follow back ;) Kisses

ReplyDeleteso glad to see you are back blogging again Laura!!
ReplyDeleteNice to see U Babez, welcome:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your back, and even more pleased that your blog is more laid back and about more of everything. Remember we all do this for fun, so write about whatever you like, whenever you like, I'll still read :)
ReplyDeleteI shared your link the moment that I found it with all my followers on twitter and emailed a bunch of people. You were my fav youtuber and reading your blog posts always puts a smile on my face. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are back!!!I love your new random one blog!!Cant wait to start reading all the previous posts!!Take care
ReplyDeletexxx
Love that you've gone for a fresh start with the blogging! The blog world hasn't been the same without you!
ReplyDeleteThe best and most missed blogger is back! I'm ecstatic :)
ReplyDeleteOK, so I have mixed emotions... on the one hand, I'm motherf*cking thrilled that you are back in cyber space - on the other hand, I'm so disappointed I didn't know sooner! At least I just spent the last 30mins being able to catch up on your posts so far.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love that you're back to doing what you do best x
so glad you're back to blogging! these posts seem so natural and relaxed, it's really nice to some shots from your every day life and less focus on the youtube world(which has a very skewed view these days, if we're going to be honest)
ReplyDeleteso so excited you're back. You've had us on hold for a WHILE! missed you so much. there's no one like you x
ReplyDeleteOoh looking lovely in the pictures :) so glad your back blogging- your blog was one of the reasons why I started blogging! :) x
ReplyDeleteYay you're back! I'm loving this blog already!!
ReplyDeleteNice glass of red wine to welcome u back. Fab.
ReplyDeletehttp://bellasbitsandbobs.blogspot.com/
I'm so very glad you're back, Laura! I've missed the ramblings! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blogosphere! You have been missed a lot!
ReplyDeleteI just came back home from the Bon Jovi concert here in Munich and saw your link on twitter and had to read every entry on here immediately.
On a regular non-Bon-Jovi-concert day this would have been the utmost highlight of my day but due to the concert it comes in a very close second place :)
I'm so glad you're back. Please continue to write about makeup hauls or products you are loving right now. I'm so excited to read your blog. Welcome back! :)
ReplyDeleteLove to see you're back!
ReplyDeleteAll time favorite blogger :)
OMG, I've missed you! Welcome back Laura :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pink metallic flats.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to see you back blogging again. Sometimes time away from things you like make you realize how much you really did truly like them (or perhaps not like them). Glad in your case you decided to give blogging another go.
So glad you're blogging again! I really did miss your opinions and advice and witty commentary - you are mainly responsible for my addiction to beauty blogs and my google reader just hasn't been the same since you left. When I saw you linked on Kelly's blog I couldn't believe I'd heard nothing about it before. I told my boyfriend, "lollipop is blogging again!!!" and even he said "yaaaaayyy!" :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, I can't wait to read every word you write xoxoxo
Very happy to have you back :). Doubt my bank account will be as happy but such is life! xx
ReplyDeletei love the bag, i know it isn't the main focus of the post but it looks lovely. glad to have you back :D
ReplyDeletewww.missmathful.blogspot.com
I absolutely love the coat, it's gorgeous. Also really love the bag! I'm so glad to see you back, you're such an amazing inspiration to me Laura.
ReplyDeletexx
Laura, I'm soo pleased you're back!
ReplyDeleteLooking more gorgeous than ever, also increasing my wishlist tenfold :D
I Know everyone is saying the same things about being so happy you are blogging again, but it is so TRUE, you have a unique style, you were the first youtuber I ever saw, and I was so said when you stopped, but knowing you will be blogging again is so exciting and I'll de looking uo for your new posts. I wish you the best of luck.
ReplyDeleteYou have been missed! -- as is obvious by all the comments. I am glad you're back too
ReplyDeleteWill you be making video's again?
I only (re)found you thru Diana Anastasia lol
Diana
Yey soo glad you're back! :) I loved reading your old blog and have just sat and read through the entries in this one too :D xx
ReplyDeleteSo happy you are back - you made my day though!
ReplyDeleteAlways loved to read your opinion on things. Welcome back!!!
Just to echo everyone else... I'm so pleased you're back, Laura! I love your writing... have just spent the last hour reading through all your posts on here! Here's to a new start! :) x
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you are back - even if you are not going to be doing videos. Although I loved those too. Understand that you don't consider yourself a beauty expert but I truly believe that you have a great eye and I respect your opinions and thoughts. Cheers to a wonderful new start!
ReplyDeletehi laura- iam from india and i used to really look fwd to your videos and blogs..i am sooo glad you are back :) i just finished reading all the blogs--chloe intense is my fav chloe though the original also is a fav-i think it is about body chemistry too- my all time fav is moschino light clouds-the first notes are very strong but wait for it to settle- its heavenly- i love the new chanel lipstick you bought-though i find them very pricey. have you tried inglot for nail polishes? they are very good.keep blogging love Mrig.

Vintage & Vanilla, Darling!
Sooo happy you're back!
ReplyDeleteLoving the outfits!
As I'm sure you're aware at this stage a lot of "us" are so happy that you have returned to out little world! Best of luck with your new blog! It's always nice to start afresh! :)
ReplyDelete*ching ching* cheers!!
Laura xo
Hey Laura, it is great to see you back.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I was positively gutted when you stopped doing videos and blogging in your 'past life'. You had a way of expressing yourself and your passion for makeup in a way that was (and still remains) genuine, witty and of course fabulous. Unlike some of the other beauty bloggers out there who vary from cute to wacky to (frankly) irritating you stand out as a valid beauty and fashion commentator who is able to share her genuine passion in an articulate and accessible way. I'm sure so many others will agree with me.
I wish you all the very best with the new blog Laura, I will be following it avidly x
Hi Laura, am a complete newbie to your blog, and so far.....L.O.V.E it.
ReplyDeleteYou have a fresh approach and are really likeable! :D
Love the new blog Laura! Your rambles and hauls were my favorite part of your blog! Hope you are enjoying your new found approach!
ReplyDeletePs I love the bag! You are my go to for bag inspiration :)
You're back-YAY!!!!!! I was hoping you'd get back around to blogging or videos or something. So nice to see you again, and I've missed your blogging!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog, I love it!

Woo hoo, you're back! I always loved your fashion posts on your old blog (as well as the beauty shiz of course!). YAY xx
ReplyDeleteUm did u get engaged? I think I somehow missed that! I have noticed a ring on the wedding finger in a few pics.... Congrats if u are xx
ReplyDeletei am very jealous of that bag. haha i adore that you're blogging again! it's so nice to see you back. i was trying on the miu miu in the store in Hong Kong (HK) and uhg i really didn't want to let go of it! i wanted it to be my baby but sadly i must save up for it and hopefully it shall be mine ! even the sales rep was asking if i really liked it. hehe my hands did not want to let go!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, Laura! I am pretty much obsessed with that Sonia coat! Your posts tend to do that to me ;) What size did you get it in? We look to be about the same height/build. Thanks! xo
ReplyDeleteLove the lipstick in the pizza restaurant pic Laura! What shade is it please?
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you're back! Loving the new blog :)
ReplyDeleteWhere's your necklace from pleeeeease!?
Lols...the Bitch is BACK! (in the most endearing way of course...)
