Delightful Desktop Fun | Martha Stewart

Hello lovely people!

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, I had a very busy weekend with family events!

I'm one of those annoying people that likes her room to look spotless - ALL the time. I get a little obsessed. I just can't bare walking into a messy room, with an Un-made bed, things on the floor and the side. Sfnsfnslgnslkngois - thats how it makes me feel....

So, yesterday my Mum and I went to Staples as we had to get work bits, so I dived straight into the gorrrrgeous Martha Stewart Section!! Yes, i'm one of those weirdo's that loves the little things in life like, stationary... After watching Louise from Sprinkle Of Glitter's (make sure you watch, she is fabulous!) Vlog on her 'Stationary Haul' I have wanted to go to Staples for a little look round.

I wanted to buy the whole collection but I controlled myself and went for one desktop divider and one of her lovely note pads. Oh and some pretty coloured pens :) I love the Desktop divider, it's fab - and allows me to stack my notepads, and as you can see in the photo a Magazine - this was just lying on my desk, so it now has a place! It can also hold my diary, business cards and of course, my new pens! When my business hopefully develops and I get a bigger desk, I will definitely be buying more of these as they stack on top of each other, so you can just add, add, add - how fab! 

  

I hope you like the photos - oh and isn't the colour and texture beautiful?! 

Thank you for reading!

Believe | It's Friday!

Quote/photo from here! 

Hello lovely people. 

Have you all had a good week? There are two reasons for this blog post ... 1) It's Friday - and there's nothing like an inspirational quote on a Friday. 2) Yesterday I had a pretty bad night, ever feel like you're trying and trying, and not really getting anywhere? Well, I had one of those moments. 

Sometimes when you feel rubbish, its good to remember all the lovely things in life, and in actual fact how lucky and blessed we are. I think this quote will probably apply to a lot of us!!

Happy Friday - What are you all doing this weekend? Write below :) 

Cornish Weekend

Hello everyone! I'm working from home today and feeling a little de-motivated. So I thought I would reminisce. If you read my first post you would know that I went to Cornwall,  so thought I would share some of my photos from that weekend.

What did you all do this summer?

Thank you for reading

Autumn Wishlist.

Autumn is here, the weather is colder (much much colder) so we have to adjust to dressing for the cold weather again. I LOVE dressing for the colder seasons. Anyway, here are a few things on my Wish list for autumn.

1) Mini Ipad (white) - I would really like one of these, For several reasons! 1 - it would be useful for my photography work. 2 - they are cool. 3 - I just think they are really useful.

2) Knitted Angora Cable Cardi Topshop - I am such a lover of knit wear. They look great with everything - jeans, shorts, skirts and wooly tights. Plus they are warm!

3)  Zara City Bag (black) - I came across this bag a while ago, but they didn't have it in stock when I wanted in, so for my birthday I got the older version of it, that you will of seen if you read my last post here. I know it's a classic bag amongst bloggers so have ordered it, and very excited to try it out!

4)  Parka With Fur Hoo Pull And Bear - So it's that time of year when you need a good warm winter coat. I have always loved Pull And Bear coats so checked out what they had in and I really liked this.  I like the colour and fur detailing. It also looks pretty snug!

5)  MAC Shy Girl Lipstick - I'm always searching for a neutral, light peachy shaded lipstick, and this one looks lovely.

6) Full Floral And Bird Print Skirt Pull And Bear - I love wearing skirts and little floaty dresses with thick wooly tights and jumpers. I found this little skater style skirt and thought it would go great.

7) Zara Mini Office City Bag Burgendy - Ok, So I know that I already have the original version on here but I love this colour, I think it's gorgeous. For days when you don't need to lug around your bigger everyday bag, this size is perfect to just throw in your essentials.

8) Amelle Ankle Strap Boots Topshop - I love little ankle boots and have wanted some with a small heel. I always feel 'nicer' in heels, but being a country bumpkin, I don't feel I can walk around in a full on heel everyday. So the size of this one is perfect.

Bag Mad | Zara Favourite

Happy Rainy Sunday! <3

I must admit, I am a sucker for wrapping up warm in winter woolies, going for a long walk then coming home and snuggling up on the sofa! Theres just something I love about it, it makes me feel warm and cosy. Plus, sometimes we just have to come to terms with the fact that summer has come and gone again...

Anyway, i'm blabbering. My post today is about my current bag. I have to admit, if I had to choose between being a shoe girl or a bag girl, I would have to say bag. I have always loved handbags, and do have a growing collection in and around my cupboard. They are one of those things that when I buy, I get stupidly excited about. There are so many different bags, of different shapes and sizes, for different occasions, smart, casual, every day, holiday, and the good old all rounder bags.

Back in July it was my 21st birthday, and I was after a new bag. Zara is probably my favourite shop. I think everything in there is gorgeous and fun. But everything still seems to have that sense of elegance - which I love! So needless to say this was the first place I looked. I found the Zara Office City Bag (but in brown) and I instantly loved it, it looks smart and classic. I am a real sucker for a nice tan/brown hand bag. So was gutted when the next day I went to find it to show my Mum, and it had gone.

So anyway, my birthday came and a big box shaped present was there. I opened it to find a big Zara box. Inside it was what I think was the previous version of the City Bag, and I fell in love again! I even preferred it. The leather was so soft, and I loved all the details on it.









There is just something about Zara bags that always look so timeless. The layout inside the bag is pretty similar to the current one. There are 3 big compartments inside, the middle one being a zipped one. There are also small side pockets on the inside of each compartment. It's very spacious, and although I don't have an Ipad and I am sure you can fit them in. I think it goes with pretty much anything I wear as well.

I am also very excited to of ordered the current City Bag in black. I'm sure I will give you a post update when I get it.

Thank you for reading and enjoy your Sunday evening.

Recent Buys.

As it is pouring with rain, I thought I would start on a little post. These are probably my three favourite things at the moment! 

Ok,  as you will know if you read my first blog post Snippets Of My Summer I went to Portugal. Now, I don't know about you, but every time I go away, especially to foreign countries, I love finding new bits of jewellery. These usually tend to be rings and bracelets. However this year I found these two necklaces which I just love. 

The first one (that intertwines) was from a Harbour we went to. It's a gorgeous place and has lots of shops, bars and restaurants around it. I came across a little shop set back from the rest that was just full of necklaces and bracelets, it was gorgeous, there were so many different colours crammed into this one tiny shop. But this one caught my eye the most. I don't usually go for this sort of thing, but I am so glad I tried it on. This was 10 Euros, which could sound like a lot, but it was worth every cent! I wore it a lot in the evenings, and found it really dressed my outfits up. However it can also be worn casually, like in the photo above.

The second necklace which I also love was from a flea market. It was huge, with so many stalls. Most of the jewellery stalls always seemed to have the same sort of style on them. But again, this one caught my eye, and can you believe it was only 3 Euros!? I was a happy girl! Again, it can be worn smart or casually.

Lastly, this lovely little candle. I'm really loving candles at the moment, especially now the weather is changing. They can really warm a room up. I love the detail around the actual holder, it really lets the light shine through it as well. My favourite bit of it is the little pearls, I think they are so cute and pretty and they fit right in with my bed room. This was only £2.99 from a local Garden Centre. I was shocked at the price, so I picked it up straight away :) 

Have a gorgeous weekend :)

Snippets of my summer | Iphonography

Soo, this is my first post, so if you are reading - thank you! I thought I would start of my posting some snap shots of my summer. I had SO many photos on my phone, this is just a small selection...

I had a wonderful summer, and was lucky enough to go back to my favourite place as a child, Cornwall. It was a real trip down memory lane for my family and I as we used to go there every single summer for the same 2 weeks each year! It's amazing how many tiny details of a place you can remember, and how they form your memories. We even sang 'I see the sea the sea see's me' as we drove down the hill to the hotel (I know I know, but it's a family tradition!) Needless to say, I had the most amazing time re-living my child hood holiday, and made more memories to add to my collection. I was then super lucky to go to sunnier climates in Portugal with my family. It was so nice to get away with them and my boyfriend, and again, had a wonderful time!

What did you all do? I would love to know :) 

Here are just a few snaps - I hope you like them!

Thank you for reading!
