Sofa Cushion Pillow Case / Autumn Leaf Cushion Cover / Yankee Candle / Autumn Owl Trio Oven Glove / Folklore Four Seasons Bowl Set / Knitted Fluffy Boot Slippers / Laurel Burch Shoulder Tote / Autumnal Orange Hanging Fabric Fox Christmas Tree Decorations / Apple Roses / I am obsessed with decorating our flat at the moment and even though I've already bought a couple of new cushion cases, I've fallen in love with these autumn-themed ones. Yellow, orange and gold colours really look beautiful at this time of year. I also start burning candles more often when it gets a bit darker outside, so a couple of new Yankee candles are definitely something I need to pick up soon.  Folklore Four Seasons Bowls and an Owl Oven Glove would be such a lovely addition to my kitchen! I recently discovered Folklore kitchenware and I am a huge fan. The Hanging Fabric Fox decorations are advertised more as Christmas Tree decorations but I think they would look super cute anywhere around t...

The temperature doesn't often go over 21 degrees here in Manchester but I am totally ready for Summer! I was in the mood for window shopping yesterday and found many lovely items for summer, so I've put together a wish list to show off some of my favourites. At the moment I am loving long, flowy skirts, so this H&M Long satin skirt would be perfect for visiting a market or for walks on the beach. I also found these Maude style RAEN sunglasses which go well with the skirt pattern. Their Lunar Quartz collection is simply eyecatching. RAEN sunglasses have been my secret obsession for a while now and I am constantly stalking their Instagram page. I already have one good pair of RayBan sunglasses, so I'm not sure if I want to spend £100 on another pair. There are never enough tops in my closet and I want to get something light and summery for when it is warmer. I've been really pleased with the shirts and tops I've ordered from Choies so far, I am t...

One of my recent discoveries is Zest Beauty . They are a UK store who offer professional beauty products online at affordable prices. The prices I've found so far to be much cheaper than on the high street and delivery is free. I love being lazy sometimes and shopping online! I can take my time, make sure that I am buying the right product, pay and just wait a couple of days before my order is with me. I looked around their website and created a little collage. This is my current Zest Beauty wish list. I have heard so many good things about Australian Bodycare and I'd love to try their Cleansing Face Mask . I love creamy clay masks and they work well on my combination skin.  My shower routine has been quite boring lately. I haven't added anything new to my body wash collection and as I love Burt's Bees so much, I am looking forward to trying their Naturally Nourishing Milk & Shea Butter Body Wash . After our cold and windy winter I feel like I'm g...

I have been loving the idea of having a 60's style home. We are renting at the moment so obviously we can't do much with our flat but it doesn't stop me from dreaming and thinking about our own place. I was looking at different styles of home decor and came across so much beautiful furniture. I like the combination of grey, green and orange in a living room - these colours instantly give me a countrysidey feeling.  I picked out a drawer and a few 'Danish' style couches, a couple of pillows (which I like so much) and a bonsai tree. I love plants but I would prefer something cute and small, rather than big palmy-type plants. The whole set has a vintage vibe but is still quite modern and minimalistic.  I'm a clean freak. I don't like wearing shoes inside, I can't stand dusty furniture, I love clean floors and I change my bedding every two weeks (sometimes even more often). This style of furniture (long legs, wide open space underneath) w...

I have just discovered Miss Rebel - an online fashion shop for women. A couple of days ago I joined The Blogger Programme and came across a contest where you could win a £250 voucher,  all you needed to do was post a wish list featuring your favourite products from the Miss Rebel shop. They offer trendy and unique ladies fashion affordably, some items are under £5! I thought I'd show off some of the nice products I've found, so I've put together an autumn/winter wish list and also added links to pictures so it would be easier to find all of the items! I am going to start with this red blazer. I love the leather look sleeves and quilted material. I can't look away from the zip detail either. I think red and black are such a great combination! Red Quilted Leather Look Sleeve blazer I love parkas! Again, this one has leather look sleeves but what I like about it most is the casual look. It also has a hood which is essential for me - it gets quite cold here in...

I picked out a few of my favourite sandals for spring/summer.   1. Sperry Top-Sider Summerlin Thong Sandal - I like this golden metallic look. I think these sandals would go well with formal clothes and could also be paired with a cute summer dress for a more casual look. 2.  Renvy Dacey Tribal Mini Sliver Wedge Sandal - Beautiful pink and green leather sandals from Renvy. I like their slightly retro style and braided details. Very chic look! 3.  Pikolinos Alcudia Buckled Sandals in Multicolor - I adore Pikolinos, such an amazing style - I prefer a basic look when it comes to sandals.  4.  Sam Edelman Galvin Leather Gladiator Sandals - I recently bought myself a similar pair of Sam Edelman gladiator shoes, but I kind of like these too. Beads and little gem stones on sandals are quite cute. 5. Kurt Geiger London Lace Metallic Sandals - I am a bit obsessed with shoes with a metallic look and I really like this wide/thick ankle strap with buckle...

I found my new crush! These rubber flats look really comfortable and are just super cute. Brazilian footwear label Melissa has been producing its trademark “jelly" shoes since 1979. Manufactured by footwear giant Grendene, which is the world’s largest manufacturer of sandals, they have become one of the country’s most successful and best-loved brands. To celebrate their 25th birthday, Melissa approached Brazilian design duo Fernando and Humberto Campana to create a new range of shoes and bags in their signature style. They had already used the technique, which they call “zigzag", to create a range of furniture items, such as chairs, stools and screens, with loosely-woven seats backs and surfaces. The same process seemed appropriate to mould “jelly" shoes, since the resulting fabric has numerous gaps that would allow air to circulate around the feet.   They have created 6 amazing styles for Melissa. You can get them in different colours as well! ...
