As many of you know, this blog has been with me for quite some time now but it's never really gained any momentum as I have flitted from talking My Vintage to talking about me and back again several times!
I really enjoy writing and I also enjoy sharing my varied interests with you all. I don't always want to talk shop and I know you don't always want to read about it either so I have decided that from here on in I am going to take the blog in a more personal direction. I hope that good news?!
There are thousands of amazing bloggers out there who write about fashion, makeup, hair and plus size stuff but hopefully my mix of all these things combined with my general sense of humour and fun, will be a good old read!
There will be plenty of this...
A bit of this...
No doubt some of this...
And maybe just a bit of this too... (he is so cute it kills me)
I've been asked by lots of you on Facebook and Instagram for makeup and hair tutorials so I will endeavour to bring you this too!
My other real passion is bringing self confidence to other women and spreading the word about body positivity so I will also be blogging about this and giving you hints and tips to help you boost your self confidence whenever you need to!
I want this blog to be a fun and fulfilling hobby and I hope you can join me on this journey and get to know me a little better.
Don't forget to also add me on the following for real time updates to boot... Instagram: emmamyvintage

And as always, your comments, likes and shares mean so much so thank you in advance!
I'm pleased to say that most of the cheap, tacky Halloween costumes we've seen regurgitated for decades, have been rapidly losing popularity over the last few years. It excites me greatly to see so many imaginative and unusual dress up ideas emerging and I have to say that watching scary and quirky makeup tutorials on YouTube is most definitely one of my guilty pleasures (that and Ru Paul's Drag Race honey!)
To give you all some fresh inspiration for this year's spooky extravaganza, I've teamed some of my favourite makeup looks from various beauty bloggers and mags, with the perfect outfits straight out of My Vintage.
If you don't find your perfect Halloween get up in this lovely lot, I'll be more shocked than Uncle Fester in the electric chair!
1) Freaky Mermaid Chic
Who doesn't love a mermaid though? But if Ariel is a little tame for your Halloween party then why not try this ridiculously easy way to create shimmering fish scales on your face...
I love this look, so easy, so pretty and so effective! Thanks @KaitlinMekel :)
Now, to complete this unicorn mermaid Katy Perry gorgeousness, here are my top 3 picks from the huge range of stunning vintage and retro clothing at My Vintage...
2. Ventriloquist Dolly
This is ridiculously cute, but also kinda creepy! Here is a really easy but effective tutorial for that crazed living dummy look to start us off...
Thanks a million for that Miranda, aka Slashed Beauty - I love it!
To perfect this look, we need to go for super cutesy and dainty doll so here are the top 3 items I have selected from the My Vintage range...
3. Wednesday Addams
I know, I know, it has been done before. But she is just so cute, and this tutorial from the brilliant Alexys (lex) Fleming is brilliant and has some really amazing, but simple to recreate, details...
And when it comes to what to wear, these 3 My Vintage gems are ideal...
4. Comic Book/Pop Art Lichtenstein Girl
This is oh so effective and is much easier than you might think! You also need minimal product and it can be done with things you already have in your makeup bag! Destiny Godley has created one of my all time favourite tutorials here...
This look is screaming out for bright and kitsch clothing, here are the top 3 I've picked out from My Vintage...
5. Zombie Pin Up Girl
This has got to be my favourite! Who doesn't want to dress up in a pretty dress and petticoat but still look scary for all Hallows Eve?! Maria Escalante has done an awesome half and half makeup look here and boy is she cute!
We have loads of gorgeous pin up dresses to choose from, I've selected 3 that flatter all figures!
Oh and just one other thing, I cannot be held responsible for any marriage proposals or indeed indecent proposals you receive when wearing the dress above - we don't call it the disclaimer dress for nothing! #smokin
I hope you loved my choices and if you do try any of them out, don't forget to tweet or Facebook me with your pics!
