THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

As you all know I'm at uni and going into my 2nd year which means moving out of halls and into my own little home from home. I decided to live on my own this year - less distraction, and I absolutely can't wait to put my own little touch on a place to call home.
I have a job at Next Home which comes in very handy as I'm surrounded by pretty room sets all day and get staff discount. The majority of my new things are from next. I wouldn't normally buy things from here but my discount means its pretty affordable.
My new house has a tiny kitchen, Bedroom/Study and a bathroom. I'm obviously going for a pink theme in the bedroom and kitchen and whites, greys and silvers in the bathroom.

Some of these things I already have as they were bought in the sale. The Pink kettle and toaster set was a bargain of £18 reduced from £50 and the bedding was reduced from £45 to £15.

All these things listed below are from Next

1. Camera - £10
2. Flower - £2.50 (sale)
3. Marilyn Monroe Picture - £30 or £50 depending on frame
4. Soak motif - £15
5. Towels - £35 (set of 6)
6. Fairy lights - £25
7. Soap dispenser and Tumbler - £12

I know its girly and pretty but its going to be my own space and I cant wait to make it look just how I want! I will upload pictures when I have moved in and fully finished my masterpiece. 

What do you think? Are you redecorating or moving house soon?

AUTUM WINTER WISH LIST

All the new season clothes have come out recently. And i really love all the colours. There is a lot of khaki and greys and still to my delight, nudes. Here are a few pieces I love at the moment.

1. Tank Midi Dress - £29. I have this dress already and i love it. Its so versatile. I wear it with my Levis jacket when its cold or just a scarf draped over my shoulders and flip-flops when its hot. Its meant to be a midi dress but because I'm short its a nice size maxi dress for me. 
2. Denim Shirt - £40. I love the colours of this. I think it would look perfect over a maxi dress or with leggins for an easy laid back look when its a little cooler. 
3. Khaki Army Jacket - £55. This is such a good jacket! I love this so much! perfect for festivals with shorts or over a maxi dress. This will easily see you over through the autumn months. 
4. Brown Leather Glitter Boots - £59.99. Although these seem a little pricey from NewLook, they are real leather so they will last. and the glitter just makes them even more gorgeous. practical yet beautiful at the same time!
5. Jeffery Campbell Gold Stud - £105. Nude, stud, leather, jeffery campbell - need i say more? these beauts will add a touch of glamour to any outfit and will last for years. 

What do you think? Anything you love from my list?

HOLY SPIKE THESE ARE GORGEOUS!

Shoes, they make me happy. Especially when I find something that is practical yet still looks wow. And I think I have found them. The shoes of all shoes.

These shoes seem to have it all. Bang on tend with the style and spikes yet still flat so its practical and a gorgeous colour.

The only downside? They're £140. Not something id pay for everyday shoes. One day, they will be mine! They are too gorgeous too miss out on!

They come from a designer called Sam Edelman. Ive also love the other shoes in the collection, but these are my favourite. They come in this colour which is called rose gold, black and gunmetal (grey).
The inside is cushioned which is a bonus for every shoe, obviously the quality shows in the price.
They would go with absolutely everything. I think thats why I love the colour and the spikes make them so special and unique.
