Pretty Little Things

Pretty Little Things 

In basically a week now I am heading back to University in Manchester, which means for the last few days I have been trying to sort out everything that I need to take up with me. A lot of things I already had from last year and most of the new things I needed were cheap kitchen bits as this year I will be cooking for myself. Insert worried face here...

But I did managed to pick up a few really pretty bits and pieces that I thought I would share with you. 

The first thing is this beautiful vintage looking alarm clock in white. I have one very similar in my bedroom at home which I love from Sainsbury's so I went back there do see if they still did anything similar. And I found this, the last one and knew it would look perfect by my bed at uni to help get me to my lectures on time! Also it was a total bargain for only £6!

I picked up these adorable glasses about a week ago when I went IKEA shopping with my boyfriend for kitchen things. Most of what I bought was really boring like saucepans and wooden spoons but I saw these and they were just too cute to leave behind. They are really summery which I realise is silly as we are now heading into Autumn and Winter, but I know just drinking anything out of a flamingo glass will bring me such joy. It's the little things in life!

I like to think that I am quite an organised person. I'm very tidy and everything has a place and an order. Something I do need to improve on is how I organise my events. I write some things on my phone, some things as notes, and some things are just scribbled on little bits of paper and sticky notes around my room! So I bought this little silver diary so I can finally have everything all in one place. This one is a pretty silver finish and is small and light enough so that I can throw it in my handbag when I need too. I dream of having one of those beautiful Filofax or a Kate Spade organiser one day, but for now this little one will have to do. 

And finally I picked up a couple more of these lace design white pots from IKEA to take up to university with me. They are so pretty and really practical. One of them will definitely be used for all my makeup brushes and the other one probably for pens or something on my desk. 

I'm sad that Summer is pretty much over, but I am also so excited to move into a house in Manchester with all my friends. I also cannot wait to decorate my bedroom. As you can probably guess there is going to be a lot of white, but also some blue and I have the beautiful throw from Urban Outfitters that I got for my birthday. So keep an eye out for a post in the next few weeks showing you my new bedroom! xx

IKEA Haul

IKEA Haul 

I honestly can't remember the last time that I went to IKEA or if I have ever been before, but I have wanted to go for ages! I love watching homeware hauls on YouTube just as much as beauty and fashion hauls and I had a little list of things that I was desperate to get my hands on. I wanted some pretty home decor bits for my bedroom, all white of course!

The first thing I wanted was one of the sets of 3 different cacti in the white pots, although I couldn't decide white ones to get and ended up getting two packs! I finished redecorating my room a while ago now but I was really missing some plants, something to add a bit of fresh colour and life. I think I first saw these on Pinterest and loved how modern and cute they look. I think I will have three together on my window still and then the other three dotted around the room, on my shelves or bedside table. 

The second item that I was desperate to get my hands on was these white lace pots that I have seen everywhere. I know so many people have these so they are hardly unusual but I think they are so cute and really useful for pens or makeup brushes. So in the end I got two of these small pots and have already filled one of them with the cute pink straws that I got from IKEA and the other, as you can see with my makeup brushes. I also picked up a really cheap simple white photo frame that I thought would look nice on my shelves. 

And finally this was a bit of an impulse buy but it was something ridiculous like £2 so I just grabbed it. I love pretty white lanterns like this one and thought this would look nice in one of the empty corners of my new uni room on some piled fashion magazines like you can kind of see in the picture. Although I love this so much that I am going to have it in my bedroom now!

Hope you enjoyed this IKEA bedroom decor haul. Miraculously I didn't get lost and managed to find all of these in about half an hour! And for about £18! I am definitely going to be going back to IKEA before I go back to uni so I am sure there will be another haul sometime soon, speak soon xx
