Home Is Where The Heart Is

Howdy!
A few weeks ago I made a post about the things I was lusting after for christmas, but it turn out my dad has (very kindly) agreed to fund the redecoration of my bedroom...after a long 4 years of it being half decorated and pink and blue. 
So to help the creative process that is redecorating, I decided to make a kind of mood board of the sort of thing I wanted, and share it with you! The walls are going to be grey, black and cream, so then I can add any accent colours I want, and it'll make it easier to redecorate again in the future. I absolutely fell in love with these curtains from H&M Home, as I thought they suited me perfectly and just looked gorgeous, especially when put against a cream background. Another thing I fell in love with was this cat throw from Urban Outfitters (which has finally built a store in Nottingham, score!) It's a little on the pricey side but it's just so cute! 
The rest of these images I found on Tumblr (you can find me here) and Google images.
 When I go looking for things for my room, the first item on my list will be a clothes rail, like the ones featured above, as they are really cute, and they make getting ready in the morning so much easier, not to mention the fact that they can show off the best pieces in your wardrobe to everyone. Second it will be a vintage Persian rug, as I'm planning on having old floorboards instead of carpet this time. 
This is a bit different to the kind of thing I've been posting, and I'll keep you updated with the redecorating in the future yay! 
Thank you

My Bones Catch A Fever




Howdy!
Welcome to my first (sort of) outfit post, and once again I am going to apologise for the quality of my images, but lets face it there is only so much you can do with an iPhone camera. 
So today I seem to be channeling my inner Zoella, what with the wonderful Christmas leggings I picked up yesterday from Peacocks, and apart from they being a little on the thin side (and the fact that they're pyjamas) they're perfect for this winter season. I teamed them with a sleeveless blue Primark shirt that I 'borrowed' from my grandma, which I really like, especially the little pink under collar (I've tucked it in in these pictures but it's really cute) and the pink bow. Because of the weather, I put my oversized black jumper on over it that I bought from a carboot sale, and is originally from Topman. This might just be one of my favourite jumpers, it's just so cosy and warm and it goes with just about anything. 
On my lips I'm wearing my new Topshop lipstick in Straight Ace that I featured in my haul last week. When I bought this I was looking for a really bright, popping purple colour, and thats what it looked to be on the website, but when it arrived it turned out to be darker that it was in the pictures, but I actually really like it, even though I'm not sure if it suits me or not. 

I hope you liked this! Thank you.

Baby It's Cold Outside


Howdy! 
Winter is officially setting in now, what with the nights drawing in and the fact that it is getting sooooo cold outside, so I decided it was time to dig out my winter coat (or one of them). I bought this beauty last January from Drop Dead in preparation for my trip to Poland and apart from the one day we spent walking around Auschwitz it kept me incredibly warm. This picture doesn't show it very well but the faux fur trim on the hood is actually dip dyed and is the most gorgeous shades of grey and lilac. The patches on the sleeve give it just that little bit of personality that is needed with a coat like this, and of course there is the signature Drop Dead cat on the label, which I love. I bought it in what I thought would be a size bigger than I was at the time, but it turns out that was huge, so there's a lot of space in it, which is great for those bitter winter days when at least two jumpers are needed. 
Just thought I'd share this with you, I hope you like it! 
Thank you

A Sprinkle of Christmas Wishes


Howdy!
Since halloween is now over, I thought I'd get started on Christmas, as it is now just around the corner. This is just a snippet of what I'm lusting after this christmas, and it doesn't include all the albums and box sets I want. 
(L-R)
1) Monokeros jumper from Drop Dead, which I think is just too cute! 2) Misha Bomber from The Ragged Priest 3) Textured Fur Lined Coat from Topshop, the perfect winter coat in my opinion, especially if the weather we're having at the moment plans on getting worse! 4) SERENA boots from Dr Martens, again, perfect for winter 5) I love a good Christmas jumper, and I think this knitted stag crest one from Topshop is beautiful 6) Flower of Life ring from Hunter Gatherer jewellery, which I love because it reminds me of the Sempiternal by Bring Me The Horizon album cover 

I hope you enjoyed this!

In This Town Of Halloween



Howdy! 
I know that Halloween was yesterday, but I'm celebrating with my friends tonight, so to go with my awesome costume (sourced from Topshop of course) I thought I'd do some halloween themed nails. 
For these I used Rimmel 60 second nail polishes and a nail art nail polish from Boyes, which was only £1! The 60 second nail polishes are my favourite brand of polish, mostly because I'm impatient and can't be bothered to wait for them to dry. For the base I used the (800) Black Cab polish, and for the blood drips I used (310) Red Carpet, which has a little bit of sparkle in it, because who doesn't like sparkles?! The cross was done using a white nail art polish that I picked up in Boyes in one of my free periods, and to be honest I wasn't expecting a lot, but I'm actually really impressed by it! The brush is really thin which meant I could do the cross easily, and its safe to say I'll be using this a lot more in the future. Finally, I applied a clear topcoat to keep it all in place. 

I hope you enjoyed this and happy (belated) halloween!!
