Up in my space

I found my love of home decor through none other than Instagram and Pinterest. Sure, the fashion game is strong but that doesn't mean it's all about what you are wearing head to toe. Your home is a place you can make your own. My bedroom is a mixture of blush, cream and white tones. I'm all about simplicity and would call myself the opposite of a hoarder. You will find my desk area, also my blogging workspace, with an array of my go to make up products and always a copy of the latest Elle. You never know when you might go to reach for any of these things, particularly my laptop as I work better in the evening. 
I am obsessed with my white high gloss draws. One thing that is my to live by rule is only keep on display what you are actually going to use. Whether this is make up, perfume, clothes or anything in between. If you don't need it why do you have it? A great deal of my things are kept in storage until the change in season. 
Over the years I have built myself a collection of fashion reference books. I switch these around often for when i'm seeking a little inspiration. Whilst many can end up being ridiculously expensive I know these are something that will remain with me for years to come.
My interiors are mostly from Laura Ashley and Next and I would never stray. Their designs are fail proof, elegant and ultimately glamorous. If I could ever suggest one thing it would be invest in mirrored wardrobes, they are life changing and compliment the light when the sun is shining ... just not at 4.30am when I need to do my make up. 
The top of my wardrobe is filled with shoes. If they have boxes that is where they live. Shoes are something I really do struggle to part with. On the left hand side I keep my off duty pieces and my right is all about work and outwear. In the middle I keep my favourite pieces covered to make sure they look every inch of show stopping as they were when I first received them. My Summer wardrobe is currently stored away until it at least hits 25 degrees ... i'm just kidding 15 will have to do. I often empty my wardrobe of old pieces and whilst I could sell many of them I prefer to place them in charity to bags so they can contribute towards a more meaningful cause. 
As i'm always on the go I keep the shoes and handbags I am frequently using at the time by my door. This means that as I finish work and quickly need to change I can do so at ease. 
Whilst my desk draw should be filled with all important things it isn't. I keep my planner, blogging diary and array of sunglasses stored in here. It may look simple and a little random but these are probably some of my favourite things. Guilty.

Christmas tree co-ordinates | Blogmas








So yesterday I finally decided to decorate my tree. I have previously discussed the many themes and colour schemes that are ultimately chic and on trend to opt for when it comes to Christmas tree decor and this year I too opted for something a little different. As you may remember the past two years I have had a mixture of pinks, purples and bronze. Whilst I adore still adore these shades it was time to switch things up a little. 
This year red and silver were my go to colours. Whilst these maybe considered traditional festive favourites my tree was far from classic. Filled with butterflies, roses and oversized baubles,  from stores including Laura Ashley and Next, I was left with a combination that fell nothing short of fabulous. For the first time ever I also bought a Christmas tree skirt from Next which I am quite simply in love with, it adds so much character to my tree whilst fitting in perfectly with the rest of my home decor.

Blogmas Day 5; #Nextmaswishlist

Welcome to Day 5 darlings! 
How fast is December going already?! 
As you know I am sharing my (very extensive) wishlist and letting you have a little sneak peak of my favourite must buy items. 
Next, a high street retailer, provides us with everything from day wear, evening wear, sleep wear, lingerie, home décor and everything in between. 
Here is my Nextmaswishlist, ten items that I would purchase from this store in an instance and here are the reasons why ...

1. 
Knit look roll neck cape £36 BUY HERE
I already have a bottle green cape from Next and it is actually one of my favourite Autumn/Winter wardrobe items this season. This roll neck cape is so chic. Many are sceptical of working with a roll neck but as long as you do it right this is a trend you will not regret experimenting with. This cape opens endless outfit opportunities as you can literally combine it with any piece underneath. This allows you to experiment with an array of colours and trends.
2. 
Berry crochet top, £20 BUY HERE
I found this berry crochet top so perfect for the December month. Wearing this top paired with black jeans and boots will result in the most effortless outfit that still has a little festive detail and will be the envy of many. The sparkle throughout is too pretty.

3. 
                                                                       
Skyline pyjamas, £28 BUY HERE
I am in love with Next pyjamas and they are on my wishlist every single year. They are one of the only stores whose sleepwear is fitted and super cute. Besides the pretty print and designs the bottoms of these pyjamas fit like leggings. Now I am not a lover of leggings however these are just too comfortable to resist. 
4. 
Waterfall coat, £65 BUY HERE
This coat is a dream. The colour, the cut, everything. This is my favourite thing on this wishlist, so chic and very Parisian.

5. 
Diffusers, £14 BUY HERE
I am obsessed with Next diffusers, the scents are divine whether these are £5 or £20. Although I adore candles they are are a little impractical as I live in an apartment so instead I use diffusers to create a homely atmosphere, with the gorgeous bottles and a delicious scent.
6.
Embellished hem sweater, £45 BUY HERE
White is such a flattering colour and is perfect to pair with red lipstick when it comes to day wear during the festive season. This sweater is a mixture of laid back and a little glam. Without looking too overdressed you can still embrace the glamour of Christmas whether you are in the office, shopping or having cocktails with the girls, this sweater can be worn on every occasion.

7. 
Grey suede over the knee boots, £120 BUY HERE
Now we all remember those too-die-for Rag and Bone killer knee high boots that we have dreamt of for so long but cannot justify spending so much money on ... Next have a solution. These are almost identical. 

8. 
Christmas jumper, £22 BUY HERE
What is Christmas without an iconic Christmas jumper? This is something you need to snap up soon as I am sure this is one wishlist item that everyone is dying to purchase! Imagine wearing this on Christmas day. Instead of wearing an ugly jumper for the sake of it you can look totally chic and the colour cream opens the doors for so many potential make up ideas.

9. 
Leather zip gloves, £30 BUY HERE
Leather gloves are a favourite accessory of mine. The quality and texture are worth the money you pay for them .. it just so happens Next have a variety of colours at a ridiculously affordable price. I love every design ... one for each day of the week?

10.
Mini structured Wing Tote bag, £34 BUY HERE 
As you can tell I love dusty pink this season and the design of tote handbags have always been a favourite of mine. The two are combined to create an essential accessory. It's time to stray away from the dark colours and black and mix things up around here.


Which is your favourite item on my #Nextmaswishlist ?
You already know I am obsessed with the waterfall coat however the embellished sweater and boots are a dream!
Be sure to let me know darlings!
