We all know H&M does a good range of reasonably priced clothes...but who knew their home range was so amazing as well....only problem is trying to decide which look to go for....!



It's like they have created a range to suit any one....from rustic to pretty.....from romantic chic to pop of colour...!



This is only a small pic of the things that they do, if I had put everything I liked up here it would be nothing but pic after pic after pic if beautiful items......so get yourself over to hm.com to see for yourself.

Pom Pom

The perfect Easter decoration......


So yesterday I featured some crafty-ness that I had been up to the last week and one of those things was the tissue paper Pom poms. I first saw these on Pinterest and like everything that I live on Pinterest pinned it.....but then i almost forgot about it.....until I was asked if I could make use of some tissue paper that someone didn't want. I instantly remembered these.

They are fairly easy to make.....you just can't be heavy handed otherwise you end up with a ball of shredded tissue paper......not so pretty.

This is the link from the pin i pinned.......but I'm sure if you search you could also find others. Have a go and decorate you home for Easter.

Topshop wants | Pay day

Saving for.....

Or in this case payday. I have tried to be really good this month, but in the same breath I have been building an extensive list of what I would like to buy as soon as pay day came around! Here is my current Topshop wants/needs!!

Industrial interiors

Things.....


.....are not always as they seem.

I love a good interior, but even more than that I love the accessories that you use to make a room what it is. For a while now I have been a bug fan of the rustic industrial look and using this for a different purpose to what they were originally designed for.....and if I could afford to live in a old converted factory warehouse with bare brick walls and huge windows....it would be amazing. Oh to dream.






Instead I search Pinterest for the inspiration of how I could incorporate the rustic industrial look into my own little pad (when I eventually get it).









I went to a antiques/vintage fair this weekend with a friend and oh to have a place to put all of the things that I would have liked to buy (I am currently on the hunt for an old (nice looking) rake to mount on the wall and use to hold wine glasses' no such luck)......instead I saved my money and came away with nothing but images of stories that could possibly go with all the wonderful old pieces and possibly a small slice of fame.....only joking...but Bargain hunt was filming there and we did, not so subtlety, walk past the camera a few time. I will be on the look out for us :)

OOTD#4

You've been......












....tango'd.

Wearing: jeans-primark, t-shirt-topshop, jacket-river island, trainers-converse

So this is what I wore today.....although the only place I ventured was down the road to tescos to pick up some cold weather essentials....hot chocolate and a magazine and then got straight back to the comfy's and settled for the day to try and keep warm and pretend that is really is spring out there.

Fresh.....














.....mint.

Dress - Primark, jumper - Topshop, Necklace - Forever21, boots - eBay (River Island), nails - Barry M Lychee

So the bad weather continues.....and if its not bad enough not to go to work on Monday then I defo do not want to know! However, I only have one paint of tights on today....that's what some might call progress.











Spring??

Hello spring....

.....NOT!!

A friend if mine put this up on Facebook this morning and I am in total agreement. No more wrapping up is needed, I have done sufficient practicing of that!

Splash of colour

Colour.......


.....makes the heart warm.

I have always loves interiors...and have redecorated (several times), removed doors, added hanging ornaments, hung picture etc etc in every bedroom that I have ever inhabited. I am not trying to take my love further, as I mentioned in my previous post, and embarking on a couple of courses.

We have been looking at colour in the last couple lesson, which got me thinking.....about my bedrooms in the past. i love the idea that you have a neutral base and just add the 'pop' or 'splash of colour with a few accessories that when you get bored can just be replaced by a different array of accessories in a different colour...thus transforming a bedroom without too much expense.

Here are a few of my faves......




 
I'm such a fickle character and can change my mind at the drop of a hat....that is if I can make my mind up at all in the first place.....therefore this plan would be ideal to me....just to look for that perfect flat to implement this plan then!!
