Home Decor Wishlist

Hey Everyone!

You will probably already know that I'm a sucker for home decor, especially if its shabby chic or floral themed. My room has hints of each here and there, but I still constantly find myself lusting after elegantly carved, rustic white, french inspired furnishings.

Instead of keeping all of my favourite shabby chic pieces stored up in my bookmarks, I thought I'd create a wishlist to share them with you in the hope that you'll become as inspired and gushy as me.

1- Dolly Bow Bow Vintage Sticky Memo Pads

I think these are so pretty. They have a little bit of Cath Kidston about them, are really convenient (I always need a memo pad) and it would look great on a plain wall.

2- Chaise Longue Boutique Chateau Chaise Longue

When I look at this I imagine french ladies a hundred years ago lounging about. Its so elegant, stylish and looks like it would be lovely to snuggle up on. It was really difficult to pick just one piece from this website as their whole collection is beautiful.

3- Amazon Premier Housewares 5-Arm White Chandelier

Some might argue that chandeliers are tacky, but I think they look great in the right style. It really adds the old fashioned touch. 

4- John Lewis Amalie 4-drawer Sideboard

Nothing beats a set of fancy off white drawers for the perfect storage. I imagine these with some vintage perfume bottles and a vase of flowers on top.

5- Ebay Vintage Metal Pocket Watch Style-Free Standing Mantle Piece Clock

This would also look perfect sitting on the drawers- I love roman numerals on a clock rather than numbers.

6- Ebay 170cm French Scene Design Mannequin

I have wanted one of these for so long even though I have no idea where I'd put it in my room and I'd probably wake up in the middle of the night thinking it was a person. Nevertheless, I think they're amazing and such a nice touch to a girly room.

Which is your favourite?

Random Snaps

Hey Everyone!

I'm a blogger. I take pictures. Of a whole variety of stuff. And you know what? Sometimes those pictures don't accommodate a whole post of their own, but I still want to show you them so you can enjoy/ be inspired by them, as I am. So every now and again, there will be a post of random pictures :)

I love arm candy at the moment.

I have a lot of mascaras.

I found this sanctuary of amazingness in Jenners in Edinburgh.

Bird cages, dress form- need I say anything else?

Oh hey there :)

I adore shabby chic. If only I could buy a mansion and decorate it all this extravagantly!

Have you taken any pretty/ inspiring pictures lately? Leave me links!

Decor | Cute Up-cycled Glass Jar

Hey Everyone!

This is a bit of a different post today- decor I was inspired to create by similar ones I saw on pinterest and by my shabby chic obsession.

To make this, all I did was wash out an old glass coffee jar and fill it with a selection of pretty things. You could use anything; from sweets to dried flowers. I chose shells, pearls and sparkly jewellery as I like the contrast between them.

I then covered the lid in a Cath Kidston napkin and secured it with a white elastic band. You might notice that the napkin is the same pattern as my make up bag which I like as they tie in with the pink and green theme of my room.

As I mentioned, although my room is pink and green, I absolutely love shabby chic decor and I am trying to incorporate small hints here and there without changing my room entirely.

I love how simple yet pretty the jar is and how is adds a really interesting touch to an otherwise boring surface.

Would you consider giving it a go? Would you like to see more decor or DIY posts in future?
