Bits 'n' Bobs

Hey guys! So two days without blogging has been the longest I have been! I've been back down in Cardiff starting my new job in H&M. Which thankfully is really good! Lovely people and store!I really love the fact that we don't have to wear uniform either, everybody that works there is allowed to express their own individual style, which is VERY rare when you're working in retail. 

So yeah, me and my best friend/flatmate/none related sister and I went down to check out our lovely little flat and chill out. As a bit of a round up I thought I would post about my beauty/interior/clothing purchases of the week.

Interior wise I have gone mad this week! Living with an interior design student is perfect when it comes to me wanting to spruce up my room. Lately Next has had the most beautiful home ware. I decided to turn my room from pink and flowers ( which is the running theme through our flat) to red and cream, still fitting in with my vintage love. So here are some of my best picks from next.co.uk! 

These are my top distressed wood picks which is my favorite style of the moment!
This gorgeous picture frame is only £8.
For £12 this clock is adorable! It is quite small but perfect if you have a more delicately decorated room.  
For little added extras use things such a these hanging hearts to add extra comfort to your room.
These are so adorable! They all come separately so you can mix and match the order.
This (as sad as it may sound) is AMAZING. The kettle is ceramic and therefore looks like an adorable tea pot. So cute!

  Just looking at these kind of sums up how our flat looks at the moment, over whelmed with cute plaques, hearts and flowers. 

Beauty

Beauty wise I have been painting my nails with a bit of a princess theme. Using a combination of 3 Barry M products. It did take 3 coats of each colour and especially the glitter polish. I have had loads of compliments about the colour combination and especially the glitter! The good point to glitter polish is that it is good for any time of the year. During the summer I tend to wear bright colours teamed with silver or pink glitter whereas for the Christmas period I go for red and gold. 

Style

Style wise I have  had a bit of a quiet week simply because I have been busy working and trying to earn the money to feed my un-healthy shopping obsession! But I have made 2 purchases that I am very happy with!
Available here form Missguided - http://tidd.ly/ee21ab62
This top is stunning! It looks amazing online and even better in real life. The colour is much more vibrant in real life but still just as cute. Teamed with jeans, shorts or skirts this is going to carry me through from summer to winter with no worries.

This stunning ring is made up of stackable rings with a bow,heart and flower and make an adorable collection.They also match my nails perfectly! Missguided jewelry is SUCH a good price and it doesn't turn your fingers green which a lot of my other high street jewelry does.  Get them here - http://tidd.ly/add5d1eb


So as you can see this week my life has been fun and filled with flowers and pretty, pretty things! I am so relieved that I finally have a job and can start buying in my Autumn/Winter wardrobe!

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
