My First Daily Vlog!

Ohhhh it took me some time to whip the camera out in public and start talking to it BUT i did it.. my first ever Daily Vlog!
Last week i went to Glastonbury for the day (as you may have seen from my Haruka Post, if you haven't seen it be sure to check it out in full as it has my Top Picks from the store and they are well worth a look) and Hung out with Amanda of Haruka and got to play dress up in her store. Amanda then took me for a gorgeous lunch and up the famous Tor!
Grab a cuppa and come have a watch of my first very daily vlog and see what i got up to that day!

Much Love

Chatty Everyday Makeup Vlog

Hello Lovelies,

First up, Happy Monday to you!
I held off uploading this as the lighting is so terrible (hello wintry dark dank days!), but my husband literally made me upload it.. and i mean pinned me down until i agreed to do it... hes supportive like that 😂
But the thing to remember, just like when i first started blogging i guess, is that we all start somewhere and amateur vlogging is making a comeback apparently haha!
Anyway, my everyday makeup routine is here for your perusal.
Enjoy (and subscribe too, that would be swell!)

Vlog: My Top 5 Style Items for Autumn

Hi Guys

Today's vlog is my top 5 style items for Autumn. Now you know me i dabble with on trend fashion items but at heart i am a classics girl. It took me a long time to realise that and except it comfortably. But its a case of learning my style and what i like and most importantly enjoy wearing!

So these are the 5 things i'll be wearing on repeat this season!

Don't forget to subscribe (if only to urge me on to get better at this whole vlogging malarkey, ha!)

and drop me a comment on what your fave items for Autumn are!

New Vlog: September Favourites!

Hi Ladies..
Well I promised myself i would really give this YouTube vlogging malarkey a proper go and so i am sticking to my word and bringing you my second vlog this week, although it almost never happened! Corrupt files, broken links, wrong formats and faulty software meant i was up with the husband being technical support until midnight last night😓.
I am learning A LOT along the way here... like how much i ramble, how on bin day the noise of the bin men and their truck is very audible on the video and how i need to remember to say those magic YouTube words (you know the ones.. subscribe and like😉)
Anyway.. Enough about that, Here is my September Favourites. I hope you enjoy!

Don't forget to Subscribe here

And give it a thumbs up!

(i'm cringing at myself right now LOL!)

Autumn Clothes Haul VLOG!! (& #Passion4Fashion Linkup)

Happy Friday Ladies!
Instead of an outfit post today i bring you my Youtube debut (eeek!!!) Well re-debut i should say as  i have 3 videos on there from when i had the initial intention to start but then i very quickly ended as I lost my way.
BUT i am back with renewed vigour and determination. This time i'm hoping to be doing 1-2 vlogs a week as well as my normal blog posts.

Today I am sharing my Autumn clothes haul full of pieces i absolutely adore.

I would love you to follow along on this new journey with me and watch while i hopefully improve on/gain some skills (as i am veryyy unskilled at the moment.. so bear please bear with this absolute amateur). This is all very new and very nerve wracking to me, I have been blogging in my little corner here for 6 years and feel so comfortable as you ladies have always shown me such warmth kindness and support, of which i am eternally grateful, so for me to now venture in to the unknown feels a bit scary to be honest.

It would be great if you could subscribe(please and thank you😘) and join me on this new journey.
And if you have any vlog requests i would love love love to hear. I'm currently taking requests, haha! No but seriously, i'm on the look out for new content to film over the next couple of weeks so if there's anything you'd like to see just let me know in the comments!

Bad week, 2nd Vlog & Passion4Fashion Linkup!

Firstly I apologise for the lateness of today's link up.
Its been one of those weeks.
When things could go wrong, they have.
Ever have one of those?
I have been so stressed.
The printer broke down, my computer packed in and the only person who could fix it (hubby) was working away. Missing parcels, broken goods and generally sad times.
It rained ALL WEEK LONG, so no outfit photos were taken, much to my utter dismay.
Also as mentioned above, Salvatore's been away A LOT, so no photographer, no helping hand, no husband cuddles and words of encouragement.
Its been rough.
And on top of all that, i accidentally set some Christmas presents on fire and nearly took out the whole kitchen.
Devastated.
Disastrous week all round really.
So yes.
I am feeling a little down in the dumps.
But its Friday. I have Salvatore home for the weekend, family around me and a bottle of wine in the fridge.
I think i need to re-charge my batteries and stop putting SO much stress and pressure on myself.
Its ridiculous.

But what i have for you today is VLOG number 2!
Yes. I filmed it finally. Yes i've rambled on and on (i apologise)
The editing is non existent (hence why its 18 minutes long..Feel free to skip through)

I would love for you to have a watch and any words of encouragement would be sincerely felt today.
And if you would like to follow along and watch me, hopefully, improve my vlogging skills then i would love you to follow my channel too!

I'm also now working on the Rachel The Hat Facebook page too so would love you to come chat with me there

Vlog 2

As always guys thanks so much for you constant support, it really does mean the world to me, and becomes especially poignant when my week has been so annoyingly bad.
You guys rock!

EXCITING NEWS, My First Vlog & #Passion4Fashion Linkup

I don't know about you but i love watching vlogs, i love getting a feel for the person behind the words through hearing their voice and watching their mannerisms, and its fun and easier than reading (ha, lazy girl over here).

So finally i have taken the plunge an filmed my first vlog to announce my exciting news!!

So if you've ever wondered what my silly voice sounds like (i apologize now.. you know when you hear your voice and you think? Really is that me? Oh god help me... yep totally that) or if you would like to watch a grown woman look incredibly uncomfortable and ramble on a bit then i'd love for you to have a little watch.

I'd also love to hear from you, do you have any burning questions that you'd just love to ask me? What's my shoe size? Do i want more babies? Or am i really that ridiculous (easy answer to that would be yes, yes i am)? Then please ask away in the comments below. I'd love to film another vlog this week and answer any of your questions no matter what it is.

Or if you have any vlog suggestions then do leave them in the comments. I hope to make this a conversation as much as possible so lets get chatting my lovelies!!

Side note: This is INCREDIBLY rough, like literally very very basic first attempt blog. Shall we just say i wanted it to be as raw and real as possibly? Yes.. that sounds good doesn't it.

So this was literally the first time id filmed and i look a bit of a weirdo but bear with me, i really do hope to improve.

And also if you would like to subscribe to my ridiculous ramblings, well that would be swell.

A Bit of Housekeeping...

So i thought i'd just do a bit of housekeeping here on the blog..
Firstly

SPONSOR RACHEL THE HAT 
This November i have a 10% discount code to take off any of my ad spots... all the details can be found for my ridiculously cheap pricing and procedures here!

CODE: promo

Just to give you an idea, we are now over 2000 readers strong with a regular monthly page view of 17,000 and growing.
I have been working with some great brands the past few months and will continue this month too.
And thats not to even mention, twitter, IG and posts on Lotus Shoes FB  page also!

If you have any great collaboration ideas or would like to work with me somehow, just let me know i would love to hear from you..
just gimme an email on
rachelturone(at)gmail(dot)com

And secondly

The other thing i wanted to put to you guys is a vlog.
I love to watch other bloggers vlogs and putting a voice to the face that we all grow to see so regualry.
So i am putting this to you my lovely beautiful readers.

Would you like a vlog?

If yes! do you have any questions for me?
It can be anything at all...
Style related, beauty/makeup, blogging style and photography or even life, marriage and kids, you name it and i shall do my very best to answer it.
I know i have a lot of readers who have been with me for 2 and a half years so if you have any questions from the duration of reading then please ask away. i would love to hear from!!
And if you're a new reader then (hello!) please feel free to ask anything so you can get to know little old me a bit better.
Now the disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form cool, on video i will probably come across like a stammering, babbling English (welsh) person, which is partly true, put a camera infront of me an i may turn in to a bit of a mess.. Natural in front of a camera is something i am not.. so consider yourself well and truly warned (it could be a laugh at least!heehee!!)

So i leave the floor to you lovely ladies..
I can not wait to hear your thoughts!

Love as always

Rachel
