ABOUT ME   ADVERTISING

Rose Wanderlust



"I’m Emma Reay and I’ve been writing Collage Me Pretty for just over one year. My interest in fashion blogging stemmed from Twitter, and from a blogger being interested in my fashion collages, hence the name Collage Me Pretty. 
 I’ve just graduated from an art degree studied in Blackburn, Lancashire and while promoting my art on Twitter,  someone suggested that I make a fashion blog. 
 I’ve always been interested in fashion, so I thought why not! I mainly blog my personal style which is influenced by Instagram, fashion magazines and fashion blogs. A few of my favourite bloggers are Holy Nights, The Little Magpie and Fashion In Flux, and my favourite celebrity fashion icons have to be Kylie Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens and The Olsen Twins. Especially their hair.



I work part time at Primark but I’m currently looking for a fashion merchandising or social media job based in Manchester. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life even after my degree, but I believe that what will be, will be. One day it will just click, and I’ll find a job that I love. In the mean time, when I’m not working at Primark I’m usually either writing or shooting for my blog with my photographer Rachel Cottam. I also love eating out, Instagram and my tabby cat, Pixie."

It felt really good seeing that you were all interested in recent posts about improving your blogging skills, so I decided to do a similar post. But this time, I'm going to show you four different HTML codes that are useful at all times.



1. Basic Table Code | If you want to categorise your posts, you can do it in a 'stylish' way.


MAKEUP

FOOD

OUTFITS

(click on the picture to make it larger)

Use this code: 

<table border="1" style="width:200px;">
<tr>
<td>TEXT</td></table>


2.  Link, Same Window | If you want to direct your readers on a new page that will open in the same window as is your blog currently opened.


Makeup

Use this code: 
<a href="the adress of the page">Text</a>


3. Linking the table | Now that we have a code for the table and a link that will open in the same window, we can combine them.

             
MAKEUP

4. Email Link | If you want to make a direct link to your email(that means, when someone clicks it, they will be automatically writing you an email instead of having to open Gmail and write your email address in).
Send me an email!
Use this code:
<a href="mailto:your email adress">Text</a>
Were this tips useful to you? Do you have any codes you recommend?


*picture
**I found all of these codes here
***paste every singe code in the HTML.

Excuse the happy face. I found this very cute sweater at Tally Weijll. It's just a simple black sweater that has 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman' written over it in a white colour (I didn't even try it before buying it, "Once a Frozen fan, always a Frozen fan.")


I was wearing a basic black shirt under the sweater and some cute looking jeans I bought at C&A.


Converse wouldn't be converse if it wouldn't be all dirty, right?? Believe it or not, these shoes used to be white!


And because I was having such a good day and feeling really great(even though it's Monday!), I had to take a picture in our elevator and post it on Instagram(you can follow me here).


How was your Monday? :)

After doing a short research, I've found out that you guys like reading my blogging tips. I've been blogging for about two years now, but I have this blog since August 2014. I try to find different ways to help my followers/readers, and I also've been following up with some blogs that offer very useful blogging tips as well. 


Use Bloglovin | This is a great site for getting your blog noticed. You can also follow bunch of other blogs, and their newest post will be shown. Every time you post something, that post will be automatically added to your Bloglovin page, and your followers will know about it.


Be Active On Social Media | As I said in my previous posts like this, being active on a page that is dedicated to your blog is the key. It's really good to have a Twitter account, and it doesn't even have to be completely devoted to your blog. I really recommend creating a Facebook site for your blog when you reached more than 300 or 400 followers. 

Use #bbloggers and #fbloggers | Only if you're on Twitter. When you publish a new post, make sure to let your followers know that. Your tweet should look something like this: Short description or the title of the post + post link + #bbloggers #fbloggers ('I just did a Halloween tutorial, come and check it out! http://… #bbloggers #fbloggers. And what do these hashtags actually stand for? Beauty bloggers(bbloggers) and Fashion bloggers(fbloggers). When you use these two hashtags, a lot of beauty&fashion addicts can see your tweet if they look for these two hashtags (and believe me, a lot of people do!).

Tag Bloggers in Your Tweet | There are some very nice people who make sure that your blog doesn't go unnoticed. For example, I like to tag Blogging Gals(@bloggingals) and Female Blogger(@FemaleBloggerRT). What they do is pretty easy: they simply re-tweet your tweet and more than 8,000 people see it.

Find New Blogs | It isn't that hard. Simply click a profile of a random follower of yours, and check their followers. Voila! Make sure that you comment their posts(and before that, check out how often they post. If the last post was made more than a month ago...you should find another blog). But don't be weird about it, commenting things such as 'Follow for follow?', because nobody likes that. Read their content or just share your opinion:)

Post Frequently | I know it's hard balancing school work(or job), having a social life and running a blog(not to mention getting enough sleep!). But be consistent about it. I try to publish at least 4 times a week.


That is all for today's post! Are any of these tips helpful to you? Do you have any tips for me?

Despite the fact that I should've been studying for the past two days, I still procrastinate. I was working on blog design and basically creating things for the whole two days, so that meant that there is no time for going out and being social, not to mention to at least open a textbook or two.
My favourite makeup product doesn't exist, and it took me a long time to come to the terms with that. It's like I was a cat obsessed woman(which I am) and they would offer me 1 million dollars to tell them which is my favourite cat. No can do. But I do tend to buy too many eyeshadows and mascaras, and that's all I'm going to say.
Dip Eyeliner | My friend lend me this eyeliner once, and that was about two years ago, when my winged eye looked like I wanted to join a racoon society. But now that I know how to properly use it, I like to use it as often as possible. I like the fact that it rarely wears off. I go to gym at least four times a week, so ruining my makeup is one of my struggles that I have to deal with. But this eyeliner is actually great even for beginners, so I really recommend it to all of you who are starting off with makeup.


Swinging London | When my aunt comes from Paris, she always brings goodies for me (usually makeup). And the last time she visited us, she brought me tons of makeup products by the line called My Little Beauty. What I like about this eyeliner is that it isn't a liquid one. But it has it's con: after few days of using it, the color turns grey. You have to put on more layers to get the fabulous black one.



Colour X-Pert | Funny thing is, that I didn't know until now that this eyeliner is actually a waterproof one! I got this one in that last days of August, just before the school started. I have to admit I haven't been using it a lot, because it doesn't wear off. At the same time that is a good thing, because my winged line is still perfect even after I've been sweating for an hour or two, but then again, when I remove my makeup before bedtime, I still look like half diva (that's because half of it can be removed, while the other half decides to stick with me forever). 

What are your favourite eyeliners? Have you tried any of these?



Last but not least, you have to check out my friend's makeup tutorial, which is autumn themed. She is one of my favourite bloggers and I love talking to her about literally everything. 

I also published my very first freebie, which you can download here. I also started doing blog design, and if you're interested in renovating your blog, contact me at any time.

Since I have too much time on my hands, I decided to be a little artistic today and I made a small kind of a blog planner that you can use. Here are some previews:
 




























If you want to download the whole pack, click here. It would really mean a lot if you'd tell me if you like it or if you want me to make more of these. I would be really happy if you'd actually printed them out and maybe let your followers know about it:)

It's been too long since I've written a post! I had to study a lot, and to be honest, I wasn't feeling very productive either. I somehow managed to convince my mom to go shopping with me this morning. We bought a vest (third picture from the top), two sweaters and a necklace. And we also went to the shopping hall with bicycles! I wish to hear from you guys, how have you been? What should my next post be about?

Lots of love,

When I should be thinking about cells and mitochondria in my biology class, I was thinking about the things that are necessary for living. I also gave myself a challenge during maths class, not only to study more, but to read more books! I'm currently reading The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time by Mark Haddon, and even though it's not my genre, I still find it interesting.
When my family asks what do I want for my birthday or Christmas, I just freeze and forget everything I ever needed or wanted. Does that happen to you as well?

First thing I really want to own is Naked2 palette by Urban Decay(and if you've been with me for a while, you know that I'm craving this one for so long!).



I've been trying to keep up with the youtubers(I follow mainly fashion/beauty youtube channels, but my favourite one is still Pewdiepie), and I can't forget  about this certain one that actually published a book! As may some of you know, I would also like to own a Lauren Conrad: Beauty book, but Make Up by Michelle Phan is currently no.2 on my wishlist!





I saw that a lot of you guys are recommending this mascara called "Volumnious Butterfly Mascara" by L'oreal. The plus side is, it's actually not expensive. I found it on this website for only $8.49 .
I have always been a fan of mascaras, and I usually go for the cheap ones. I was surprised when I bought a mascara by Essence. I think it was about $3, and my lashes were big and they didn't look fake at all! But now I'm determined to test some other brands, so this is going to be my next purchase. 



 I've been obsessing with the new TV show called 'Outlander' that was based on books by Diana Gabaldon. I somehow heard/found out about this TV show in July, and I was fully prepared to watch the pilot in August. I feel in love with it, and apparently I wasn't the only one, because they renewed the series for a second season! I tried to find a book in my mother language, but they haven't translated it yet (and they probably won't, because this book has been in the stores for the past 23 years). I'm thinking about ordering it from Ebay, what do yo think?


I've got two words for you: Troye Sivan. I started watching his videos on youtube this summer, and I fell in love with him. I hope you've all listened to his song 'Happy Little Pill', because it's amazing. I know about his merchandise, but it's too expensive ($40 for a sweater, I'm on a student budget). I will try to find a replica or something on Ebay as well haha!


Also, I wanted to tell you guys that there are only two more days till I pick a blog that I will feature on my blog! If you want to apply, click here!

Aaaaand the big news is....I was thinking about opening a store. Well, not exactly a store that you have in mind. Have you ever heard about Etsy.com? You should totally check it out. I was thinking about selling blog design - banners, total makeovers of a blog and so on...would anyone be interested?:)
