Bedroom interior


I've been loving yellow and grey interior lately on Pinterest, and have been so desperate to decorate my own space! I've always been dreaming of having my own house to decorate exactly how I want. Well, that's not going to be happening anytime soon so giving my bedroom a new look is the next best thing!

I originally went for the 'shabby chic' look in my bedroom, but I just got a little sick of the girly look and decided to go for something a bit different.  :)

Cushion covers: EBay 
Frame: ikea
Print: Etsy
Candles: Primark home
Canvas: Primark home
Pillow cases: Not on the high street
Blanket: The range 
Dressing table: Argos
Fabric: Ebay

Triangl ❤️


So I am a big big fan of the triangl bikinis along with millions of other girls I'm sure! Since buying my first one back in June for my holiday, I understood exactly why they were so popular! 
I got the 'Winnie' in 'Arizona sunset' which is a strapless top in a slightly neon orange colour. 
I found the material just so comfortable and it fits like a glove! 

       

                                    

I even found that the bikini looked really good worn as a top and not just for swimming! I was able to create some great outfits such as wearing it with high waisted shorts and a kimono. 

Because I loved it so much, I had to get my hands on a second one for my next holiday! This time I went for a different style and chose the 'black neon - pink rush'. This one has straps and I found it very supportive. 

                              


Overall I would really recommend these bikinis, they may be a little pricey compared to high street prices but they are so worth it! I will be sure to get my hands on more in the future!

AW14 Clothes Haul | Topshop & Missguided


 
Sooo it's getting to that time of year where you never know what to wear! One minute you need a coat, hat and scarf and the next you're getting the sandals out again!

Recently I've been opening my wardrobe.....and just wanting to close it again!
 I don't know about you but if I don't like what I'm wearing I don't feel good at all!

Therefore I thought I'd treat myself....and when I say treat myself, not just a little bit.......

......I went slightly mad and broke the bank, so I thought I'd share what I got. 

First up is Topshop - my all time fav. 

 Joni Jeans are the only jeans you will see me in and I own them in just about every colour! They are so comfy, stretchy and super high waisted!
When I saw these I just knew straight away that I needed them.
I wanted to add some more patterns into my wardrobe and these are perfect because the print is so subtle and will go with everything!
 Topshop - £38 




 I then picked up a few basic tops as this was something my wardrobe was lacking.


The next thing is a monochrome checked print shirt which I fell in love with straight away. 
The great thing about this shirt is that its longer at the back, so with high waisted jeans it's the perfect style! its so comfy and the material is nice and thin. 


I've always struggled with black leggings being too see through or just all round not a very nice fit, and so I felt like I wore nothing but jeans.
When I saw these, I loved them!
They are new in, black jodhpurs. 
What I love about them is they look similar to leggings when they are on, yet they are super thick and also high waisted! (which is something I love, if you hadn't already guessed he he)


Since last winter, I've always been looking for a mustard colour thick jumper like this.
Its soooo cosy and has a V neck line which is not something I've had in a jumper before. 
I cannot wait for the cold wintery nights to wear this! 




OH look, another pair of joni jeans - woops hehe! 
I've had my eyes on jeans with slits at the knees for a while but never got around to buying any! 
When I recently ruined my favourite pair of jeans I took this as the perfect opportunity to buy some ripped ones! and I LOVE them!


Next up is Missguided!

(can I just add, I ordered this at about 5pm on Sunday evening and it arrived about 10am the next morning, super impressed!!)
This is my trusty online website for when I need a 'going out' outfit.
It's not often I find myself buying casual clothes from here.
However, I could not stop clicking 'add to basket' when I spotted all of these beauties.


 Like I mentioned before about leggings, these I just LOVE.
They are really thick black leggings AND they have a slit on each knee which means I can wear these when I want to be comfy yet I can still look like I've made an effort to look stylish! (I hope anyway..)



I've been putting off buying these shorts for a month or so because I tell myself I don't need another pair of shorts!
Guess what, this time I just couldn't help myself.
I love the reverse pattern on these and I just think they are quite classy looking.
I could take these on my holiday but could also style them to look acceptable on a night out!



Sticking with the 'going out' topic, I just had to get myself another of these lace bralets. 
I own this in baby pink and love it.
It's the perfect top for a night out with a high skirt or jeans.
However, you know the score, once you where something a couple of times you can't be seen in it every weekend!
Therefore I just had to get it in black.

Possibly to pair with......

This white leather look skirt.

 

Ooops another jumper. This is the coolest jumper ever, isn't it?
I love this monochrome checked print at the moment and when I saw this jumper I pictured myself wearing it aaaaall the time, It will go with pretty much everything!


...another thing I just couldn't resist.
This t-shirt is just so cute.
I've been loving to slogan tees and sweats recently in river island, topshop etc. but I just couldn't find one with a slogan that shouted out to me.
When I saw this one I thought, well, you just can't go wrong with this!


These khaki leggings would look amazing paired with the tee above!
The leggings are again, super thick and comfortable, with a zip down the side.


Home decor - My dream home!


Sooo I've always been desperate to move out and have my very own little home. This is            not because I'm fed up of living at home with my parents, in fact I love that! It is just because I have soo many ideas in my head of how I want to decorate it and I just cannot wait! 

Unfortunately I can't afford to move out yet due to being a 21 year old student at uni etc. so here are some of my little ideas which I can't wait to get my hands on, when I finally do flee the nest! eeek.

This is my all time favourite board - the bedroom! It's so cute and pretty and the pillow cases are an absolute must :D

Next is the living room which I equally love! I've always loved the mustard and grey colours together when it comes to interior. I also absolutely LOVE the chevron print and I think when I own a house, you will see it eeeeeeverywhere hehe.

going on a summer holiday

What's in my suitcase...


 So my  boyfriend suprirsed me with a holiday to Majorca for my christmas present! Literally the best thing anyone has ever given me! I've been so so excited, it has come around so quickly. We leave in 2 days time!!!
So anyway, when it comes to me and holidays, for some reason I feel the need to fill my suitcase with a whole new collection of clothes. I very rarely pack something without brand new labels on! Not sure why that is, but i'm sure i'm not the only girl who does this... 
Anyway, I've been spending and spending ever since I found out we were going!
I placed everything I bought into an empty draw and I havent looked at them since! 
When it finally come to packing time, it was amazing!
So here are the things I've collected over my shopping trips and this is what I'm going to be taking with me! 
(only for 7 nights but I reckon I got about a months worth of things)
((There are also things I bought which i couldn't even pack!!)) 


For starters. A girl can never have too many bikinis... 

Topshop 

Topshop 

Primark

Topshop 
 This was my first high waisted bikini which I'd wanted for so long! I finally bought it (well my boyfriend bought it for me) but I decided maybe high waisted bottoms aren't ideal for tanning? SOOO I went for the normal bottoms aswell! Why not.


 Top - New Look 
High waisted bottoms - Topshop
Bottoms - Primark 
 I did a similar thing with this bikini. I bought the top on it's own first, which I am absolutely in love love love with! This is definitely my favourite. And I thought, it would look soooo cute with high waisted bottoms! So that's what I did. But as I was doing one of my huge shops in Primark, I thought i'd just grab a pair of normal black bottoms as they are cheap cheap cheap.

 Here comes my underwear. Now just like everything else in my suitcase, when I go on holiday i aaaaaaaalways have to have brand new undies! It's just not right if you don't! To be honest, the top two pairs I had completely forgot about until I found them tucked up in my wardrobe! They are both from Gilly Hicks, not very pretty, just plain but cute. The second picture, on the other hand, are very very pretty panties, from Primark! Love them.

 These pretty shorts pyjama were purchased with my underwear, from Gilly Hicks. So I had also forgotten about these! Lovely little surprise.


Next I am going to be showing my evening outfits. I could have packed so soso much more than this with all my new purchases, so it would be perfect if I was going for longer than a week! But unfortunately I had to force myself to stick to 7 outfits!

Smaller Brushes - Real Techniques
Eyeliners - LOreal

 These are definitely my favourite, I always go for these ones. They smell amazing!


Beach Towel

This beautiful little thing I just had to buy when I saw it! Its so so cute and almost like a Cath Kidston replica. Very pretty and will look super cute on the beach with me.
