Bucket List:The Met Gala

Last year I wrote a post very similar to this one about how going to Coachella was on my bucket list and after flicking through all the photos from the 2015 Met Gala, it's made me really want to go, experience the gigantic red carpet (obviously not walking down it myself!) and take my own photos of the dresses worn. The theme this year was China Through the Looking Glass and its fair to say everyone took that differently! 

I wanted to share a few of my favourite looks with you guys this week :)

Cara Delevingne
This girl could wear literally anything and still look amazing! I love the face that she chose trousers over a dress and is rocking those temporary cherry blossom tattoos. Definitely a unique twist on the theme. 

Gigi Hadid
Current top celebrity girl crush! Gigi looks stunning in the red number and I'm incredibly jealous. Red is definitely her colour! Also look at her shoes...not I'm not a huge pointy toe open shoe kind of girl but I love these so much.

Karlie Kloss 
Ex-Victoria Secrets model Karlie Kloss seems to be everywhere these days! Along with Gigi, she is currently one of my celebrity girl crushes at the moment. The upper part of her dress hugs her model figure and the sheer underneath shows off her incredible legs.

Miranda Kerr 
Stunning yet I can't believe she is 32!! Being different and choosing a short dress for this event allows Miranda Kerr to stand out on the red carpet. The minimal hair, makeup and accessories draw attention to the intricate pattern of her dress clashing with the zig-zag sequins on the sleeves.

Kendall Jenner 
My favourite member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The colour of this dress really compliments her skin tone and eyes without being too "in-your-face" like he other family member's choices. Kendall is still young and I love that even though the sides are laced up showing a little side-boob, she hasn't gone too revealing.

Kate Hudson 
Everyone needs a bit of sparkle in their life and Kate is winning with this floor length gold number. How I wish I owned this dress!

Uma Thurman
This is probably actually my favourite dress from the Met Gala and definitely something I would choose to wear. It's just a really classic and traditional white statement dress and Uma looks flawless. 

Beyonce
How could I not talk about Queen B?! Flaunting that hourglass figure in what can only be described at sheer and sparkles. She definitely stole the show and had everyone talking about her look!

What was your favourite Mat Gala look?

The Fletcher crew

Move over Joe and Zoe Sugg, move over the Shaytards or Sacconejolys...the Fletchers are taking over.

Carrie was the first of the Fletcher crew to start making videos on Youtube. Back in 2011 she created the channel "itswaypastmybedtime" and she has continued to make weekly videos ever since then as well as having a career as an actress currently playing Eponine in Les Mis. I have to admit I don't watch Carrie's videos on a weekly basis like I do with the other Fletcher's but instead binge watch a few at a time ever so often. 

A few years down the line and big brother Tom decided he too would start a channel. His first video had received over 15 MILLION (yes...MILLION!!!) views to date...of course it's his wedding speech. Everyone knows about that speech including Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe. 

Tom used his channel so share snippets of his busy life for fans to see as well as using to as a platform to announce major changes in his life, one of which was the Halloween themed video making the announcement that he and Giovanna were having a baby.

The Fletcher siblings began to create weekly videos called Dear Tom/Dear Carrie as they didn't see each other than often and it was a cool way to find out what the other was up to.

Upon the arrival of baby Fletcher, everyday of Giovanna's pregnancy Tom took a photo of her standing in the exact same spot all the way up until she went into labour. After writing a song and piecing the photos together, stop-motion style, the couple revealed the name and shared the first photo of their new baby boy.

Last Christmas Giovanna joined in the fun by vlogging every day in December till Christmas Day after which she joined in with Dear Tom/Carrie and made her videos for her sister-in-law or for Tom when he was away. 

Now to a video which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face...Buzz and the Dandelions. How adorable is Buzz! This video of Tom's has gone viral and last week everyone seemed to be talking about it. If you're feeling down or having a bad day, click the link above and I promise you that you'll feel better. 

Make sure you subscribe to Carrie, Tom and Gi to watch more of there videos and stay updated!

Everyone deserves a second chance to clean up their mistakes...

Just like I believe that everything happens for a reason and that fairy-tale endings do exist. I believe everyone deserves a second chance.

I have come to conclude this because, over time, I have been given my fair share of second chances. 

In 2013 I moved school, this gave me a fresh start and a chance to make new friends. I'll admit I did do some stupid things and made some silly mistakes but if I didn't then I wouldn't be where I am now. From these mistakes I was given second chances with friends which to be honest didn't work out great as we're still not on the bests of terms right now. 

However some second chances are some of the best decisions I have made. Last year, I though I would do the right thing and tell my best friend that I had heard a group of girls saying horrible things about her...wrong thing to do. A few days later everything kicked off because she had confront said group of girls and turned them all against me as well as ignoring me all the way up to the holidays. On the last day of those two weeks I received an apology by text from my her and I forgave her for what she did. Ever since then she has been one of my best friends who I know that I can always rely on to be there for me, trust with my life and always knows the right things to say...well most of the time.

When we're younger we tend to fall for people easily, and often the wrong people. During a disagreement with some old friends a couple of years ago, a boy was involved...first showing interest in me before swiftly moving onto one of my best friends at the time. As you would imagine, I was upset but also a bit angry with both of them. 

Two years later that same boy has started talking to me again, and here's the dilemma. He's said he really regrets treating me the way he did and wished it never happened. And after speaking to him for a bit now, I'm starting to believe that he actually means it and is trying to change things.

So you know what...maybe I will give him that second chance if he wants it.

Throwing It Out There...

If I'm being honest, I'm not really happy about this whole blogging thing at the moment.

I constantly feel like changing the appearance of my blog as days I feel it's too childish or too boring. Whenever anyone gives advise on a successful blog they always mention it's layout. Visuals are what attract people to a blog and I feel mine doesn't do that. The problem is I'm never happy with it, I can't find a style that truly represents 'ezzlepops' which I really like.

Another thing it's lacking is content. I've really been struggling to sit down and actually create worthy content. Content that people enjoy reading and share with others or content which draws people in that they come back every week. 

So here's what I'm asking...

What makes you sit down and read a blog post?

What type of posts do you like reading?

If you ran 'ezzlepops' what would you change?

Please, be honest with your answers. Feedback on this kind on this topic, to me, is the most important thing and I would really appreciate your opinions.

Use Your &

One thing I love about Louise from SprinkleOfGlitter is her ability to inspire. If it wasn't for her then I wouldn't have heard of this campaign and I wouldn't was thought of this blog post idea. 

Despite the multiple videos and blog posts about "How to be a better you" or ones written about how to improve, as a teenager it's really difficult to be positive all the time, especially when it come to ourselves. Self-shaming can become a real problem and knock you back in multiply situations, we're not embracing the qualities we have like we should be & not using them to our advantage in life but instead letting them limit our potential.

"Venus invites you and women everywhere to take a stand against one-dimensional labels."

#UseYourAnd

So to celebrate what Venus is promoting I have created the 'Use Your &' tag.
