Home Decor... the way to my heart

Hello :)

In this post I am going to share with you some of my favourite bits of my bedroom decor. It so happens that I chose neutral colours for my bedroom (it also had something to do with me renting the flat and not being allowed to paint the walls lol.), However I do LOVE my neutral colours! I have also gone with a heart theme too :) Just in case you are wondering why they are all heart shaped or have heart shapes incorporated into them, hehe. 

Firstly, there is my double heart candle, I did not actually buy this my mam bought me it for my birthday and I love it! I haven't dared light it yet, I don't know about anyone else but I seem to be a little reluctant to first light a candle lol, Even though I utterly love candles lit in the room! Strange I know. I think the distressed casing gives it a kind of shabby chic feel to it which I also like. 

Next is my grey wire heart tea light holder, I bought this from Next as I loved it from the moment I saw it! Its just beautiful! It again fits in with the distressed type look, this is by far one of my favourite bits of decor in my room! It looks so pretty when you have a candle lit inside of it. The heart opens up with the hinges on the top so your able to change the candles easily. 

Now we have the matching grey wire heart organiser, which I have used to keep mainly my perfumes in. There was also a larger size if you wanted a larger one, or a set up of a small and large organiser. This doesn't just have to be used to organise perfume, it could be used to organise jewellery such as bangles or make up whatever you fancy.This was also purchased from next :)

Yes you guessed it! The matching grey wire heart bin! I couldn't resist haha, also bought from Next. I usually tend to put a carrier bag in it so its easier to empty and the smaller bits don't fall out the holes but however it does impact on its prettiness having a Asda or Tesco bag shining through lol. But i still love it. 

So there you have an insight into some of my decor pieces in my room. I hope you like them as much as I do. Which is your favourite?

Celeb Style: Mila Kunis

Hey,

I thought I would do another celeb style post :)

I have chosen Mila Kunis because I think she is lovely and again has the type of style I LOVE! I first noticed her in the film Friends with Benefits with Justin Timberlake too! Awesome Film can I just add. hehe.

I utterly adore this outfit! I think the skirt is beautiful and matched with a plain top just draws attention to the beautiful detail in the skirt. Even her shoes are simple and plain so your attention is drawn straight to the skirt and then her lovely long legs!

The infamous little black dress, every girl owns one. I think this one in particular is stunning i love that it has a low back at the same time as being slightly longer. This gives it more of a sophisticated but sexy feel. She has a lovely toned back which the dress compliments intensely.

Moving to a summery day outfit I think this is super cute! I am not sure if i would suit such an outfit because i think it would make me look extremely young and I battle with that enough. But I think on her it looks beautiful and would look lush on holiday or on a hot summery day. She has picked the blue detail in the dress to match her shoes which works really well. She has even gone for soft slightly waved hair which works really well with this outfit.

Which outfit do you like best?

V Festival ❤

Hello again,

I just can't seem to get into the hang of regular posting! I am sure I will get there in the end :)

Well me and my besties went to V festival this year and it was AMAZING!!! I loved every minute! I even got over the horrific state and smell of the toilets!! And that is saying something hehe!

We went to Weston Park near Staffordshire it took us like what seemed an age to get there (3 hours!) Then the queues to get in were about just as long! But once we got over the tragic walk with all our rucksacks and finally pitched the ten! ( didn't quite go to plan) the fun began! However due to our extremely bad tent building skills and the wind we did come back on Saturday night drunk to find this!

Not ideal if I do say so myself! So we squished up with some of the other girls for a cosy night!

The lineup was immense here is the line up:

So as you can see many many many people most people would want to go and see! And yes headlining was beyonce! Oh my days! I knew she would be good but my god she was AMAZING! So much I shed a little tear hehe (could have web something to so with the large amount of alcohol I had consumed as well like) but serious she was immense!

She was half an hour late though so started to get some boos but she soon won the crowd back!! I loved every minute!

This woman is truly an inspiration!! I can't quite highlight how good she was I just recommend everyone to go and see her! Hehe! I even managed to bag a little bit of time up on someone's shoulders so I could get some good pics! :) eeeee I am

getting excited thinking about it!

But she can't have all the credit there were some amazing acts there and just that I went to see because obviously you

can't see them all its impossible! Some that spring to mind which were amazing were:

~ Emeli Sande

~ Rudimental

~ Jessy J

~ 5ive!

~ Maverick Sabre

~Jason Mraz (very emotional because one of my best friends have chosen for her wedding song eeekk!)

So guys this was just a quick post to get how excitable I was out because I found it an awesome experience and it was the first proper festival I had been too!

If anyone has any questions just ask :) or photos or anything they would like to share I would love to share your experience too :)

LOVE IT: Viktor&Rolf ~ Flowerbomb Perfume

Smelling lovely is a must right?

Well I FINALLY got given Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb perfume as a gift :) SCORE! I have wanted this perfume for soooooo long! I have never bought it myself because it is not the cheapest or perfumes, and spare dosh for like many of you I assume is not a regular occurrence for me. So you can utterly imagine the excitement that came over me, when I got given this.

The first thing that stands out to me is the packaging, I do love it! It portrays a pretty floral product which indeed it is! I like the way the box shows the illusion of a wrapped present that is secured by a wax stamp!

Moving to the bottle itself, I just feel like it is very well presented and girly. The liquid has a slight pink tinge, and this is carried on through the metal on the product as well, which i think is a great touch! The plastic wax stamp which is made into a tag on the bottle is also really cute. (However be careful when transporting the perfume, because it is not that strong and mine has snapped off :( Whoops)

I utterly LOVE the smell! This shouldn't be a surprise or I guess I would not be writing this LOVE IT post. It is rather strong therefore not much is needed. Floral scents come through the strongest, however it is not overpowering because I am not usually the biggest fan of overly floral perfumes. It is rather sweet but also musky, and I think it has a sexy element about it. By far the best thing about this perfume is that it actually STAYS!

The only downsides are as I mentioned before the price and the tag being weak for transportation.

So if you are looking for a new fragrance, that is feminine and sexy try this!

Price: £65.00 (50ml) ~ This price is taken from boots.

Review: Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint ~ Barry M

Nails nails nails....

 

... I just love painting them! So my newest edition to my nails varnish collection is the Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint by Barry M. I picked the shade Lychee. As you may know this is one of Barry Ms fast growing effects range.

 

I lurvvveeee my nude colours you see so this shade stood out to me straight away. The first thing i noticed about this nail varnish was when i was using it the smell is just lovely. You may be thinking what an odd thing to first recognise but its actually really nice not over powering like some.

 

Next i did find that it does not seem to go on completely even however it does seem to even out whilst your doing your other nails. It does say one coat needed however i prefer the effect of two. however i have noticed the more coats you apply the more likely it is to chip so bare this in mind :) It does dry nice and quickly though always a bonus!

 

I love this effect that it constantly looks wet and with extra shine. I think it makes your nails look like you have just had them all done especially if you have nicely grown nails. Someone even asked me if mine were fake or real?! (I wasn't too sure if i should take this as a compliment or not lol.)

 

 

The rest of the colour range i find is rather random because there are a lot of bright colours but also some pastels. I am really happy with the product.

 

What are your thoughts?
