Bedroom Inspiration

Obviously the first place to head to for inspiration on just about anything is Pinterest! It's a site filled with stunning and unique ideas that allows you too make a mood board of anything you like. And if you haven't already check mine out, pop over now and have a nosey around, I don't mind, just click here.

As I'm in the midst of redoing my bedroom, it's taking an age! merely down to timing and circumstance but I'm getting there. So it's given me time to figure out how I'd like it and what sort of furniture I'd like to have. And mainly, time to search and search for inspiration!
So as it's become a regular thing for me I thought I'd share some of my ideas and dream bedrooms, I hope you'd like that :)

I love the simplistic white look but also I love the little knick knacks and cute pots and candles, so I'm hoping to try and incorporate a few ideas to get an overall look. I love the idea of having photos and memories on the walls and the clothes pegs idea is really lovely, and fairy lights are just so cosy looking. The one thing I know for certain I will most definitely have plenty of throws and blankets as I just love the look, and white patterned duvet covers just look so fresh and inviting right? I do need a desk/makeup table for sure and that's the thing I'm finding hardest to decide on, so any recommendations would be great! 

I'm finding myself resort to Ikea a lot, surprise surprise right? And I'm looking at new drawers sets, beds and wardrobes, so trying to find ones I like that go together is a lot easier, with their grouped items. I'm thinking a light greyish colour for my walls and white furniture with black features, like a mirror and picture frames, (I already have these).

So I'll keep you updated with any thing I buy and maybe do a room tour when it's done. Don't hold you're breath though, it may take a while.

I hope you liked seeing my inspiration and that it warms up your day, which I hope was unlike mine, miserable due to the pouring rain and gale force winds. Days like this I wish so much that we had a fire that I could curl up in front of with a cuppa and a good book. 

See you soon and don't forget to check out my links :)

Wishlist Series #5 Accessories I Want

1/2/3/4/5/6/7

I think it's fair to say I have a bit of an obsession with Zara handbags. they are such good quality and have so many amazing designs at fair prices, although still a tad expensive for me, they are a great item to invest in.
Also I have always wanted a pair of plain black sandal heels and these have a lovely chunky heel to keep them comfy and supportive as well as looking chic and timeless.
These dainty necklaces from Oh My Clumsy Heart are stunning and so individual, I'd heard of the site through Essie Button and after looking I want it all! they're so delicate and pretty, and simple enough to wear with anything. 
Finally the chunky statement necklace from Zara is also stunning, I love the colours and think statements necklaces are brilliant for completing and outfit and dressing something up.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I'm I'm wanting accessory wise, is there anything you've had your eye on lately?

January Favourites

I'm sorry this is about a week late, and I'm sure your not interested in my excuses so I'll just get on with it.

So starting with lip products I have has these two in my handbag literally all month, they have not left my side and if I wasn't wearing one I was wearing the other. If you follow my twitter you will know I re fell in love with my Rimmel Kate 05, which I initially bought for my prom back in May, and have neglected since. However after giving it another go I don't know how I could have forgotten about this little gem. Its a gorgeous pink that is bold yet not to out there for an everyday lip, it really compliments my skin tone and is lovely and creamy to apply; I mentioned this one in my Winter Lip Favourites as well. 

Other than this for me it has been all about the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey Douce 001, I know this was raved about ages ago by just about everyone and their mothers but I was very late to jump on the bandwagon and have only just bought it. It is such a lovely colour that is easy to apply even without a mirror, adding just the perfect amount of colour to finish off a look. I have however found that with this product, as you top it up throughout the day that the colour gets bolder so at the end of the day the result is quite different to the one you applied in the morning. I'm not sure if that's just me or not?

Next up the Natural Collection blusher in Pink Cloud, I bought this while in London in December and have been absolutely loving it to give me a little flush of bright pink, brilliant for winter. This is quite unique in my blush collection as I never really thought I would suit bright pink blushes as I'm quite fair and get redness around a lot of my face, however the blogging community convinced me to give it a go and boy am I glad I did! The only downside to this product is that it doesn't last all day so it does need a bit of a top up throughout the day. Paired with this I like to use e.l.f's Bronzing brush, it is angled and quite fluffy making it perfect for applying powder blush, however this brush isn't very soft and can be quite scratchy on the cheeks. I was disappointed with this as all my other e.l.f brushes have been lovely, yet I can't moan at their cheap price tag.

For skincare I have been loving using Superdrug's Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser, it came with a muslin and was a great price. It takes my make up off really easily and doesn't leave my face dry either. Savlon has been a saviour this month! It has really helped my redness and dry patches this month as my skin has been really affected by the weather, being much dryer than usual and becoming sore. I have put this on each night quite liberally and it has cleared my skin up amazingly well.

Lastly, other general beauty bits and bobs, I have been loving my Estee Lauder Double Wear mascara again recently, I switch up my mascaras quite a lot as I have so many and i forget about how much I love this one, I get some many compliments with it and it really does make my eyelashes look amazing. Just love it a lot. And finally my new concealer recently, the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 15, I have really fair skin so I find it difficult to get a concealer that is the right shade, this range is brilliant for that and the concealer is actually really good, and is brightening as well so is great for under the eyes. It is light and easy to blend, quite a light coverage but can be built up without looking cakey. Next to try the matching foundation, anyone know if it's any good?

Better late than never right? I really do like to keep up with these so I do try to post them monthly, even if they are a tad late.

Well done for getting this far, my monthly post seem to be quite long! I hope you enjoyed seeing what I loved last month and don't forget to check out my links :)

Christian... why do you do this to me?

And by Christian I mean Louboutin, of course. Who else could it be?

I was scanning an outlet page last night at silly o'clock when I came across these beauties and my heart sunk. I've fallen in love with a pair of shoes that I will never own and will never even get the chance to *sobs quietly*. 

Ok, so 1) they are gorgeous! Just beyond belief, the intricate pattern and detailing is amazing and the colours are phenomenal, too much love for these shoes? I don't think so.
2) the size and shape of the heel is so appealing to me, it looks supportive and comfortable, as well as the design being continued down the heel covering the entire shoe.
3) just the red soles, I need a pair of red soles so much! They are stunning and so luxurious and every girls dream.

So it's fair to say if I was ever rich enough,(I'm dreaming big, people) one of the things I would do is get them to remake this shoe just for me. I just want them so badly. So pretty!

Unfortunately even discounted these beauties come to a massive £742.50 and the last pair is half a size to small anyway :( I reckon I could squeeze! ;) So I'll just keep looking and maybe one day I'll save up enough and buy myself a pair, maybe I'll start saving now!

February

Ok so I know I'm a bit late, and it's already the 4th but Feb has just come around so fast, (I know I said the same about Jan) but I guess being more organised means more stuff gets done and you don't realise the time fly! That's right I'm keeping on top on my resolutions so far and am actually a lot more organised than I was, granted I've had a few unmotivated days but you can't always win eh? 

Anyway Feb is a very busy month for me so you'll have to bare with me and be forgiving. I posted a lot more regularly in Jan which I loved and really enjoyed however Feb will be slightly different, to start with Feb is a shorter month altogether, secondly I have dead lines and mocks to do before half term (just over a week ahh!) and also during half term is my 17th birthday! woo, so I have a lot going on, as well as working so that I can save up some money for driving asap. With crappy natural light to take pictures in and miserable weather putting me in forever bad moods, it's making it hard to post as much as I want to. So I'm here I promise, I'll post as much as I can but please don't run away, I will be back and in full working order as soon as I can :)

I have a WishList post up in a bit and a Jan Favs post up soon too so watch this space!

Love you all lots :)

#2014BloggerChallenge Topic Three Once upon a time...

So the third topic for the #2014BC is books! This is such an amazing topic for me as I'm such a book worm, I honestly think there is nothing better than to have the time to snuggle up somewhere comfy in trackies with a nice cuppa and a book. Sounds like bliss to me. Now at the moment it is a lot harder, with college work and a job, to find time to read leisurely and I hate that I'm missing out, so I do find time to squeeze in a bit of reading time even if it is a chapter or two before bed. 

I have always wanted to do a book review or suggestion post but just never got around to getting it done, so luckily this is two birds with one stone (again!). 

The book I'm talking about today is... Stargirl.

I bought this book whilst I was still in primary school, I think I was in either year 5 or 6, so I was about 9 or 10, and I found it at a book faire that came to our school, I don't know why I picked it up, to be honest looking back it's quite a deep book that I'm surprised I picked up at such a young age. But I'm so glad I did, I've only read it once, followed by it's sequel Love, Stargirl, but I remember so well, and genuinely love the story so much! It has stayed with me that long, and that's got to say something. It's such a great book that highlights that being different from everyone else isn't a bad thing, quite the opposite actually and that you shouldn't be scared to show that just because people may judge you. Deep I know, but it's amazingly written and it even got my friend into reading after reading this little one. It's not a hard read and its not very long either, 192 pages. I really do recommend giving this a go even if it seems a little young for you now, the message behind it is brilliant and thinking about it now makes me want to re-read it immediately! Slight humour mixed with thought provoking content, I love it.

I hope you decide to check this book out and if you do love it, I recommend the sequel too, Love, Stargirl. 

I hope you enjoyed my take on this topic, let me know some of the links to your posts if you've joined in!
See you next time and don't forget to follow me to catch the rest, check out my links below :)
