My Instagram Diary | June 2015
Wednesday, June 24, 2015
Instagram is possibly my favourite app. Not only do I love scrolling through people's incredible themes, I love posting photos of my own; so today I thought I'd share with you a few I've posted this month.
A few of my favourite albums, including Motion In The Ocean & Radio:ACTIVE by McFly, X by Ed Sheeran and The Script.
A photo I took on a walk, wearing my white converse. I wear these all the time because they are so comfortable and match with anything.
It's a miracle! The sun came out in Britain... for about 2 days! I couldn't resist marking this event by uploading it to Instagram.
Some inspirational quotes I saw in a shop painted on plaques shaped like doves and butterflies. So cute.
A photo of Harry Styles when I went to see One Direction in 2013... I can't wait to see them again this October!
While the sun was out, I took a photo of some beautiful vibrantly coloured flowers in my garden.
I'm thinking of making this a monthly thing, what do you think? Also, make sure you're following my Instagram - @erincroasdale, and let me know what your Instagram is in the comments below so I can follow you!

What's In My Bag?
Friday, June 19, 2015
Today I'm going to be posting a What's In My Bag post! I always love reading what people keep in their bags so I hope you're interested in mine.
You may have seen my bag before if you read my most recent haul. It is from Topshop and it is a nude colour. I love the colour of it because it means it goes with generally everything! It costed £36 and I think it was worth the money.
The bag has a shoulder strap and a handle so you could carry it whatever way you feel like - I prefer the shoulder strap. It has a panelled design on the front - which I feel adds something to the bag, and features 'Topshop' embroidered in gold.
It has two compartments - one at the front, secured by a gold zip, and one at the back, secured by a button. The front one has a place to hold your phone - both my Topshop bags feature this and it's so handy instead of fumbling around for my phone!
So, what's in my bag? Let's see!
First of all, my purse. It is from New Look and I like it, even though it's a bit too small to hold £10 & £20 notes. I really love the colour with the bow, but I've had it for quite a while so I fancy a new one.
Hand Sanitiser and lip balm. The hand sanitiser is from Soap and Glory and smells so lovely! A lip balm is essential for me as I hate the feeling of dry lips, I have to take one around everywhere just in case!
I also have a packet of Tic Tacs, I really love the taste of the apple flavoured ones!
Since it is summer, I also have my sunglasses in here. My sunglasses are Ray-Ban wayfarers and I love them so much.
What are your bag essentials?

The Liebster Award #2
Saturday, June 13, 2015
Because I am doing this post a second time, I will not be nominating anyone, but I really wanted to answer Sydney's questions. You can read my first Liebster award here.
1. What's the story behind your blog URL?
I chose the name Everything Erin because I wanted my name to be in it, and also because this blog is about everything I like or want to write about.

I was 13 years old and have been blogging for about 11 months now - I'm 14 now.

None... I have a list of post titles for the next couple of months, but I don't like to actually draft the posts too far in ahead.

Hard question because I love so many! I love Crystallized Daises and Cuteinstgram especially, but there are so many more blogs that I love reading.
5. How many secret Pinterest boards do you have?

7. Are you right-handed or left-handed?
I'm left handed!
8. If you could have a $1 million shopping spree in one store, what store would you choose?

May Favourites
Monday, June 08, 2015
It's June already, which only means one thing... May favourites! I've loved a few things this month that I'll be sharing with you.
This month I finally gave into the hype and purchased the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara. Bloggers rave about it, instagrammers rave about it, even my best friend raves about it - after trying it I totally understand why! The wand is incredible - it is curved, so picks up every last lash - but the thing I love the most about this mascara is it makes your lashes look so much longer and defines them, yetdoesn't clump at all!
I have also loved using The Body Shop's strawberry lip butter. I recieved this as a Christmas present, however only started using it recently. I have no idea why I didn't use it sooner because it is amazing! It makes my lips feel really moisturised, and smells so good too!
I've read a couple of books this month, Carrie Hope Fletcher's All I Know Now - which you'll already know why I love it so much if you have read my review! - and John Green's Paper Towns.
The movie of Paper Towns is coming out soon, so I decided I had to read the book before I go and see it, and it is possibly one of my favourite fiction books I've read. Yes, I say that about many books, but Paper Towns has an incredible story line, and I didn't want it to end!
I haven't had loads of music favourites this month, which is strange for me! However I have had the song Roads by Lawson on repeat. So catchy and I can't wait for their next album!
Similarly, I haven't had that discovered many new YouTubers this month - please recommend me some in the comments, I really feel like watching some new people!
I've watched Quisha Rose for a while, but have been really impressed by her videos this month. Quisha is a girly, beauty/style YouTuber, and I am really loving her videos at the moment. Her editing is really good, as is her content. She is just so likeable, so if you like Zoella's videos, I'd definitely check Quisha out!
What have you been loving this month?

London Haul
Wednesday, June 03, 2015
Recently on my trip to London I went shopping and bought some things I thought I'd share with you in a haul post.
First of all I went to Jack Wills and bought this lovely purple t-shirt. It is quite plain, just with a little pocket with the jack wills logo embroidered on, and I really like it. The material feels such good quality so I think I'll be wearing it a lot this summer. Plus, it was a summer event so selected items had 25% off including my t-shirt, bonus!
I also bought a coral coloured t-shirt from Hollister. I wore it recently so I was unable to take a photo, but like all Hollister t-shirts, it is such good quality. It has 'Hollister' embroidered on it which I really like.
I also bought a t-shirt from New Look. It is a baby pink colour with white edging and I feel like it will be great for summer. They also had it in a variety of different colours if pink isn't your colour, and for £8.99 I recommend you check them out as they look and feel really nice.
Possibly the item I am most excited about is this nude coloured bag from Topshop. It was £36, which is quite expensive but totally worth it for this bag! It has two sections, a front pocket fastened with a gold zip, which has in it a space for your phone, and the back pocket is fastened with a gold button. It is so lovely and I am really looking forward to using it this summer.
Also, a few things I picked up in my local Boots recently - Hand Food and a mini The Rightous Butter from Soap and Glory. These both smell so nice and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I also bought a Baby Lips Dr Rescue in Too Cool which I have used the last few days and I am liking it so far.
Let me know what you have purchased recently in the comments below and thank you so much for 100 followers on Bloglovin', I really appreciate it!
