Bedroom Extras

Bedroom Extras 

So as promised here are the extra pictures from my new uni bedroom. And my personal favourite part! I had seen so many pictures on Pinterest of these beautiful clothes rails displaying clothes with a colour scheme, like pastel or monochrome. I have never been able to have one in my bedroom at home as I have large built in cupboards and I don't really have the floor space for it. So my new bedroom at uni was perfect and not only does it look pretty but it is actually really practical having my favourite clothes so accessible and giving me more cupboard space. 

I found this clothes rail from IKEA for only about £14. It has a lot of hanging space as well as a rack along the bottom which I use for some of my shoes. My new room is very pastel and white so I kept the rack to this colour scheme by display all my lighter clothes, which is most of what I wear anyway! It is mostly white, beige, pastel pink and then some light denim, going from outwear, to jumpers, shirts and tops. 

Hope you like these pictures and what I have done with my bedroom. It is definitely very girlie and homely but I am really happy with how it has turned out. Although I still have a few little bits and pieces that I want to buy, like a desk lamp. Shopping for pretty bedroom pieces is one of my favourite things to shop for! And soon I will have to get some pretty Christmassy things, but I am probably getting a bit ahead of myself!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx

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

A Wardrobe Spring Clean

A Wardrobe Spring Clean 

Arriving back from university about to unpack a load of clothes (some of which were new!) I decided that it would be a perfect time to finally sort out my wardrobe. A good old Spring clean! Since going to university it has become a lot more obvious which clothes I wear all the time and probably couldn't live without and which clothes I had forgotten actually existed. 

I started off with sorting my shoes and bags and dividing them into three piles; keep, Charity Shop and throw. It sounds silly but I found that I had three pair of shoes that were so old and in such awful condition that I would never wear them out, but I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them because I had had them for so long and they had memories! In the end I managed to throw away those three pairs of shoes and then fill a whole big bag of shoes and bags for the Charity Shop. 

Next I decided to start on my clothes as I knew I had a lot of clothes that I hadn't worn in years. Starting at one end of my closet I went through every coat hanger decided what I did and didn't wear. If I hadn't worn it in the last year then it was definitely out. After I had unpacked my clothes from university I was left with the clothes that I wore all the time, with a clear colour theme!  

I arranged the clothes in the order outwear, jumpers and cardigans, shirts and blouses, tops, dresses, and suits and workwear. And then within each section I put the clothes in to a colour order so it was easier to find different pieces and the sections were more clear. Some people like to arrange all by style, or all by colour or grouping things that they wear together in sections. So really it is just whatever works best for you. 

The final thing that I did to neaten up my wardrobe was something that I hadn't done before but I wish I did a lot earlier. I had always had a total mis-match of hangers it basically whatever I am given or whatever I can find. But what I did was I went around the rest of my house and swapped the hangers that I had for these white wire hangers as they look the neatest. And I kept a few stronger wooden hangers for my outwear and workwear. I love how neat and put together this looks and I think something as simple as the same hangers can really neaten up your closet. 

Having a closet like this has just made it so much easier and more fun to get ready in the morning. I can see everything in all the different sections and pick out different pieces to mix and match. And it sounds silly but I feel like one of those 20-something women with their life together picking the perfect outfit for the day ahead out of their beautiful closet! 

I also did a quick clear up of my drawers although these weren't actually too bad. I just put my tops into colour and style piles so it would be easier to find what I was looking for. 

I hope that this has inspired you to maybe have a bit of a clear out. You might find loads of room for new bits and pieces. I would be lying if I said that I hadn't done any internet shopping since! I know that it does take a bit of time, and if you haven't done it in a while it can be so daunting. But it really is worth it, a clean fresh start for Spring. And you never know, you might find your favourite jumper that you though you lost months ago shoved down the back of you closet! xx
