How to get a Scrolling Instagram Widget

Image
Scrolling Instagram widgets seem to be the thing right now. And if you're completely incompetent at doing layout stuff like me, then the thought of doing this might seem daunting. But I've done it! I tried to do this around Christmas time but for some reason it just did not work! Thinking about it now I don't think I put '@' in front of my Instagram username. But anyway... First off, Google 'snap widget'. Obviously click on their website, you will be welcomed with a screen like this;  And from there you want to click 'get your free widget' this will then take you to a form page, fill this out and when you choose scrolling it will say thumbnail size and width size. I went with 150 px for thumbnail and 900 px for the width, with these I literally guessed. But you can go in to your blog to double check the width of the layout. Choose auto scrolling and then decide if you want the scroller to fade in or out.  Click preview an...

Thigh high boots

I'm not too sure why I haven't posted these before, perhaps it's to do with the weather being shocking and not having a day off with bae ( just to clarify I don't actually call my boyfriend 'bae'). But he is my photographer because I have no one else to take pictures for me! But anyway we both have loads to learn because I'm awkward as. And he's never held a camera in his life but I don't think he's doing to badly to be fair. ANYWAY I'm rambling, my booties I love these, they are pretty easy to wear with loads of things. Any dress or skirt is a winner in my opinion. I'm not sure if I'd wear these with jeans but hey, there's nothing stopping you if you so wish! These were an absolute bargain! £34.99 at Inthestyleuk. On a side note my legs are quite skinny so lots of body tape is needed if you happen to have skinny legs... be prepared for lots of sticking!  Thigh heels - Inthest...

My First Time...

So, here we are. Discussing my first successful YouTube video! I'm so proud of myself for doing this, yes my editing skills are the worst. But I'm actually pretty proud of the out come, I would love, love, love for you guys to watch this and let me know your opinions, obviously the editing is a problem! But other things I can improve on would be most welcome... Unless you're going to be extremely rude. Haha. But anyway you may (or may not) have noticed that I didn't do a jan favourites on the blog this month, that my friend, is because I YouTube-ed it! So take a peek at what I was loving in the first month of the year. Rosie  Xx  Instagram | Bloglovin ' | Twitter | YouTube  

Best. Year. Ever. Birchbox x Pinterest

Image
January. The month of 'new year, new me'. With that in mind January's birchbox has a theme of Best year ever! I absolutely love that they have teamed up with Pinterest on this one. What better way to spread positivity than a bit of pinteresting. Birchbox have also popped in post cards with inspirational things on, which I think is perfect for January; as we can all do with a boost this time of year. The box as always is lovely, a bit of shiny-ness, pink, white and of course pin worthy snaps. The contents gets even better... Benefit they're real tinted primer Oh hey benefit! I seem to remember being in last months box... Not that I'm complaining. I've seen a lot of buzz surrounding this product on social media, I love a good lash primer, and Benefit's they're real tinted primer hits the top marks, I love that it's tinted because it is completely wearable alone. I have layered mascara over the top. At the moment I'm u...

Pinafore love.

Image
I have finally gotten back round to taking some fashion-y pictures. I got the pinafore below from topshop way back in October? But. It's back in stock I saw it in Brighton on Saturday along with the other colours they do! So I thought this was worthy of a post. I've teamed this was a teeshirt, but I also have a mustard blouse I wear regularly with it, and also a white bardot crop top, which is perfect for summer. I think this pinafore is an all year or type of clothing. It can easily be layered, and also thrown it over a crop for summer usage.  Thigh highs - Inthestyleuk  - these are an absolute bargain! Pinafore - Topshop Tee shirt - Topshop - this is a super old top but any tee would look great! Rosie Youtube  |  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Bloglovin’ If you liked this post why not check out these?

Lush Cosmetics Mini Haul

Image
I had been meaning to go to lush since October but held off as I wasn't planning a trip in to Brighton and figured when I went to Edinburgh I would go then. Edinburgh was so busy that I couldn't shop there, there were too many people! Anyway December rolled round and I made the effort to go to lush even though it was heaving. I literally ran round the shop and got out. The experimenter.  This looked like a fun bath bomb so I popped it in my basket, and it was cool to watch fizz away, I tried to get some decent pictures but, the lighting was awful and I forgot all about the White balence on my camera, so don't judge the photos. The finished colour of the water is a little murky! It's smells pleasant with tonka bean, vanilla and vetivert oils added in, and I probably would buy this again just as all the different colours look amazing when they are all swirling round together.  The Sakura  I don't even know why I picked it up, 'i...

Lush Cosmetics Boxing Day haul

Image
It's the time of year when all the lush fans rush to stores or key bash their keyboard to get on the lush website. Once again lush failed in the UK with their website. Hello no one in the land getting on to their site cuz it's was frickking down!! Anyway I managed to get on site at about 1 in the morning (I was woken by my boyf arriving to mine, I didn't set some random alarm). I was then 13,000 in line in the queue so went to sleep and awoke at 7.30 on the 27th to do my lush shopping. So let's see what I bagged in the sale, I didn't buy loads of one thing, and I did think of doing a YouTube video on this but I was too scared! Magic wand Bubble Bar How could I turn this down?! Multiple uses, smells like candy floss, comes with a bell and bow and of course bubbles!  Father Christmas Bathbomb This lovely little bath bomb, smells citrusy and infused with manadrin oil. This is quite an uplifting bath bomb and has a lovely surprise of starting...
