New Bedroom Inspiration

New Bedroom Inspiration

In less than a Week now I am going to be moving in with all my university friends into a new house, and my new bedroom. I have been so excited to decorate my new bedroom and it has been so much fun going shopping for pretty bits and pieces this Summer. So I have put together some inspiration from WeHeartIt and Pinterest. 

Unlike last year I actually have a good sized bedroom with a double bed, which is very exciting. I have decided to keep my room quite white as it is my favourite colour and have everything looking really fresh and clean. And then when Christmas coming it will be easy to change things up sligtly by adding a Christmasy throw and some pretty lights or something. I also want to have a bit of pastel blue in my room and I have a beautiful Urban Outfitters throw for my bed that is actually in the exact same pattern as the bedding second left on the bottom row. When I get up to Manchester I also want to buy quite a bit green plant to have in the corner of my room as I love the green against all the white. 

I am so excited to decorate my bedroom. I do have some rather horrible orange checked curtains to deal with, but hopefully we can get past that! Can't wait to show you all the photos once it is finished. xx

Bits And Pieces

Bits And Pieces 

Firstly I wanted to show you my Macbook with it's beautiful marble skin. I bought this skin off Etsy after seeing a lot of them on Pinterest and Instagram. I love how chic and minimal this looks. 

This is everything that I have on my bedside table right now. I love all of the white and now pretty this space looks. And I can't wait to read my How to be Parisian book. 

Finally this is the cutest card that I got last week from my friends at University for my birthday! I haven't seen them this whole Summer and I can't wait to see them in a few weeks when we go back to uni to live in our house!

The weather here is still rubbish so this morning I went to IKEA and got a few more bits and pieces for university. Many I will do a post sometime showing you some of the pretty things that I bought. I am so excited to start decorating my new room. I'm going for lots of white, some pastel blue and a bohemian feel. Plus lots of candles and fairy lights!

Light And Breezy

Light and Breezy 

Yesterday we did some more exploring and found yet another beautiful spot. I actually think that Kefalonia is just one beautiful spot after another. Again there wasn't much of a beach here but the sea and swimming was just lovely. 

When the weather is as hot as this loose clothing is a must! This outfit was actually a total fluke, mum said that we were leaving and I grabbed a skirt and a white top from my cupboard to throw over my bikini. But I actually love how these two look together, white tops really do go with everything! 

Usually I tuck tops into this skirt but I love how this floaty and slightly cropped top looks over the skirt showing the scalloped lace detail. I also think it looks slightly bohemian which is a style that I love. 

Top - Charity Shop (Topshop)

Skirt - Hollister

Sunhat - Accessorize

So sorry about the lack of posts yesterday, the internet was down. But it is back now and hopefully it will stay like that! Think we are heading out to a beach after lunch today so I am going to take my camera and capture some more beautiful shots. Speak later xx

Decorating With Cacti

Decorating With Cacti

If you read my blog regularly then you will know that about a week ago I went on what I am pretty sure was my first ever trip to IKEA! You would also know that I went a little cactus happy and ended up buying 6 mini cacti in the little white pots. And I have finally found a home for all of them in my bedroom so I wanted to share some photos with you. I absolutely love how they look and I was definitely missing some green in my bedroom. 

The first two cacti are placed on my shelves to add a bit of colour. I think that they look so pretty alongside all of the jewellery and the nail polish. And just in case you were wondering or it was bugging you the top cactus is wonky. A lot of the soil was missing from that one so it is a little bit sad at the moment and I have no idea how to fix it!

I used to have all my makeup on this window sill but realised that it probably wasn't a very clever idea to keep it there in the sun. So now I have moved all of my makeup to the shelf above my desk which gave me the perfect space for these three cacti. I love how minimal and chic this looks with all of the white on white. 

And finally I saved my favourite cactus (yes, I'm sad!) for right by my bed! I needed some colour here as well and think it helps to tie everything together. 

I am really loving minimal and bohemian styles not only for fashion but also for decor. They sound like two completely contracting trends, bohemian style is far from minimal. But I like to keep some aspects minimal, particularly the colour palette of my bedroom very neural with lots of white and then bring a slight bohemian touch to other things, such as subtle intricate prints and different textures. Not sure if that really makes much sense but it does in my head! 

Hope everyone had a good Friday! I finally got my first pay cheque from working at Joules today although I have already spent it on something very exciting which I am sure will be featuring on the blog very soon! xx

Bohemian White

Bohemian White 

I wanted to share with you the outfit that I wore yesterday for a family barbecue. I have found that while in the winter with all the layers my style turns more preppy with lots of collars and cable kints, in the summer my style gets a bit more bohemian, lots of floaty white tops and pretty accessories. It's weird really as they are two very different styles but I love them both. 

The main aspect of this outfit are these beautiful feather earrings which I got ages ago in an Accessorize sale and only wore the for the first time yesterday! They are definitely a summer accessory but I think that they look so beautiful, especially with this feminine style of outfit. I don't know if feather earrings are really in this summer but I think that the subtle jewels and the pale pink shade make these more timeless and wearable that the brighter colour feathers that were around a few years ago. 

I also decided to practice curling my hair yesterday in these pretty beachy waves. To do these I use my Babyliss curling wand and I have found that it works best to take really small strands of hair and twist them around the curling wand and then drop them out after only about a second. This way you get more of a wave than a curl. I also just brush these out with my fingers a bit afterwards but not a hair brush. 

The top that I am wearing is another old sale purchase from Monsoon. It's not a shop that I usually go into as they aren't really aimed at my age range. But I do think that they have some beautiful tops, blouses and jumpers. This is a beautiful white floatly blouse that I sometime use in summer as a beach coverup. It's loose but still a flattering shape with skinny jeans and has a lovely appliqué detail around the buttons at the front. 

Top - Monsoon

Jeans - Uniglo
Earrings - Accessorize

Turtle bracelet - Accessorize

Bracelet - Pandora
Watch - Nixon

Here is a close up so you can see the detailing on the blouse. 

Hope everyone has a good Monday. I have work this afternoon plus several episodes of The Vampire Diaries that I need to catch up on! Speak soon xx
