Shopping My Stash | Decor & Miscellaneous

Hey Everyone (and a special hello to my 11 new followers woop!)

Typically, thoughts of summer bring to mind relaxation, sun and doing nothing. My summer consists of productivity, organisation and clear outs. Although its nice now and again, to me a lazy day is a wasted day, so when I've not been out with friends or the gym so far this summer, I have been tidying through and discovering long lost possessions- otherwise known as shopping my stash. 
two blue boxes with red floral pattern, two pink and cream boxes with cupcake pattern, silver and pink rose trinket box, hot pink and lime green trinket box with frog on top, pink candle and small pink alarm clock
Whilst sorting through all my old stuff and clearing out, I found a number of cute things I thought would be perfect decor additions to my room. The storage boxes are so pretty, though I'm not entirely sure about them yet as they're not really in keeping with the colours of my room (pink and green). However, the rose print trinket box, candle and alarm clock definitely are! The little rose box was a little present from my mums friend when I was a flower girl at her wedding, the candle was a purchase from Ikea a while back (it smells amazing by the way) and the clock was a present from my cousin in New Zealand. And of course the cute little frog trinket box (I think every girl in the country bought one like this from Claire's when they were younger) matches my room perfectly. So after finding all this, I am in desperate need of a few display shelves- any recommendations of where I can get sturdy ones? I'm thinking B&Q or Ikea. 

I also found a couple of random bits and bobs that I thought I would include.
little brown bag plastic keyring, silver keyring with pink bag, lipstick and fluffy black shoe charm and silver key ring with blue and pink beach charm
small pink book spine on large purple book spine
So there's some cute keyrings that will soon be making an appearance on my key and some books that I want to read. I've read the Lauren Conrad one before and really enjoyed it and I actually got the other one ages ago and never read it. I was determined to read lots this summer and I haven't skimmed one single page so I just need to get reading! I just find reading blogs or watching YouTube so much more tempting.

Have you shopped your stash lately?

  3. I've been thinking about getting the Lauren Conrad book lately. She has amazing style and I love her blog. Do you think it is worth purchasing?

    1. I know I love her and her blog too- though to be honest there isn't much more in the book than what has been posted on her blog. If you've read her blog from the beginning it includes most of the book- the book is just more structured. Though the pictures in the book are really great! So it just depends :) I would check out thebeautydepartment.com as Lauren does that too <3 xx
