50th Giveaway!!

Posted by: Emma on: July 16, 2009

Hey guys,  I have decided to finally join the giveaway bandwagon, so to celebrate my 50th post in 2/3 days time I will be choosing a winner for this Emma speciality (apologies for the bad quality photos!!)…

Pink, organic cotton cardigan I customised with buttons, ribbons etc, it is new but I took the tag off to sew on my own label :)

…all you guys have to do is: Tell me which fashion item do you dream of having, but have never seen in stores to buy?  For example, this could be a top with velcro sleeves or something else like a jacket made from pink purple and blue satin with yellow bows…ok not a great choice but you get the idea.  Then simply mention me in your blog and link back.  Simples :)

On to the day…

Not been too well again and have been lying on the couch again and sleeping loads. Generally feeling sorry for myself.  I really need to get my college work done but I just can’t sit up and do it with this sore stomach, aaagh!  What is even worse, o2 have cut off my mobile line.  Not such a good day eh.

So I woke up at 6:30ish, drank my suppliment, then munched through this…

Oats, Wheetabix, soya milk, banana, dried fig, walnuts, walnuts, fage 0% and a little gingerbread man sprinkled on top

 And for snack I was feeling pancakey…

Blueberry pancake (pinhead oats, egg white, vanilla essence, baking soda) with a little banana and yoghurt :D

Today I was just eating what I felt like I wanted…not what I had to have, and I really wanted this pasta like I used to make before ED…and it had bloody CHEESE in it…one of my major fear foods.  I was nervous to say the least, but to get life back on track I need to conquer my fears.  ED was obviously screaming at me, but I told it to fuck right off because I, EMMA wanted it and I was dam well going to have it!

For dinz I made another home made wrap, without the oil this time, which worked much better!

WW wrap stuffed with tikka chicken, fage 0% and tahini, with hot sauce and some veggie soup on the side

The juice was not great but not bad either, need to experiment with these things. At least it was packed with nutrients though :D , oh and The author I am always talking about is going to be signing books on sunday in Waterstones, yay!! So me and rach are going to go up and get our books signed…cool chick book nerd, yeah I know :D

My little cuz Reece is up staying with us at the moment and he’s just arrived with his xbox so we are just going to play guitar hero, woop!  Off to rock the sitting room now,

Sleep well my lovelies  xxx

That cardie is sooooooooo cute! I don’t have a blog but thought I might be in with a chance on the giveaway anyway if I commented?! Worth a try! I’m also Emma and am recovering in the UK as well, been reading your blog for a while now. Mmmm tough question about the clothing…probably would have to say a pair of pretty floral dungaree shorts! I always wanted some dungarees but never had any and I love floral prints! Much love xx

hey emma :D
Thanks for commenting, yea everybody is in for a chance. I think in the end I’ll probably just draw a name out of the air if I can’t choose lol.
Take care xxxx

I LOVE that cardigan! Serioulsy ridic. cute! <3

Emmmaa! Congrats on your 50th post! That cardigan is SUCH a great shade of pink…haad to try for it ;) My item would have to be this thing I saw in Glamour (US or UK dont remember)…it’s this super cropped, fitted, short sleeved leather jacket. Like a biker jacket, with all the zippers and stuff…but ulta femme. In black, plz ;P

Sorry to hear about your rut hun. Youve made it through so much already, this is just a tiny bump in your journey. On another note, youve totally just inspired me to have pancakes for breakfast ;P

YAY for impulse foods!! Take care + much love
xx izzyy.

The cardigan is lovely, I really like the ribbons! Um, the fashion item I want but can’t find in shops…oh I know, cordroy flares in a nice bright colour. Yeah, you read that right :P I used to have some gorgeous green flared cords (Punkyfish ones I think) which I wore so often that they got a hole in the crotch! They’re all faded now too, so I would probably pay a lot if I could find some more…
I really hope you feel better soon – go back to your doctor if your stomach doesn’t start behaving itself!! Well done for the cheese, yay :D

oh my god. emma this post is literally made for me. i shall let my creativity flow with the challenge. i need to win this :)
i would absolutely love to find a blazer made out of velvet. the colour should be black or dark dark blue. that would be stunning paired with a pair of jeans and a white shirt. and some killer red heals. ahhh i’d love to wear that.
sorry to heat your tummy is still not well. my tummy is a dummy too all the time
have a lovely day

Yaaaay for challenging your fear of cheese! I’m so proud of you for eating what you want to eat rather than what ED says is “safe”. Isnt the taste of freedom delicious?

Omg I am SO excited about this giveaway :D That cardigan you customised is gorgeous! I’ve always wanted a purple dress with a silky strappy top and a lacey/netting ballet-style skirt on the bottom. Ok I’m not very good at describing things but I have such a clear picture of it in my mind lol.

Have fun rocking and at the book signing! And feel better soon my love <3

oooh i totally want to enter this giveaway! you are SO talented w/ all of your creations, i am always so amazed! i love the pink color of the cardigan. pink is always in style hehe.

hmmm the fashion item i’d like to see is hard to describe but would be like a gingham print puffy short ballet type skirt. almost like a tutu but made out of cotton. confusing and weird and i’d probably look silly but i always wanted to try something crazy/cute like that.

anyway congrats for moving forward in recovery by facing some of those fear foods. :-)

have a wonderful weekend!

Hey, just stumbled on your blog! The giveaway looks great!

Hmmm, fashion item would be a super cute knee-length or a little longer skirt that is flowy-ish… I don’t know! It’s hard to explain!

O my, the pasta looks divine! Yay for conquering fear foods! Real, full fat cheese is one on my list to dive into!

Glad I found ya! Have a great day!

xo,
keri

YAY cheese! It was a huge fear of mine and I’m not 100% comfortable with it, but I am so happy that I can have it now and again when I want it…’tis good stuff :D

Hmm, fashion item I’d like to see in shops would be t-shirt style dresses with subtle but secure pockets for keys/iPod/phone!
