Summer Home ware


So...I know from my blog's title you may be led to believe that I will only babble about fashion, however today my babbling will take a different path. Home ware. Crazy, I know!

These adorable products are all you need to spruce up your home or bedroom ready for Summer. All of the items are pretty basic, yet can make a massive difference to a room.

Summer Homeware



























photos are from polyvore-I do not own them 
1) Things box ~ £3 ~ Primark
I love the basic wood design and, of course, the price! This is perfect for storing all the miscellaneous things in your room that have no assigned place.

2) Owl jar ~ £10 ~ BHS
This is an adorable, yet simple, way to store things in a room like bits of jewellery or even lipsticks

3) Reserved cushion ~ £6 ~ Primark
Primark does it again: beautiful home ware and a beautiful price! This cushion is perfect for saving your favourite spot on the sofa!

4) Japanese-style bowl ~ £2.95 ~ dotcomgiftshop
If you are a regular to my blog, you'll know how I'm a fan of this online shop. Their products are cute with a vintage touch and not to mention reasonable. This bowl is known as a 'dipping bowl' but there are bigger versions and other patterns to choose from. I think this would be perfect for storing rings or bracelets that you wear every day to make them accessible in the mornings. 

5) Handled mason jar ~ £9.99 (pack of four) ~ drinkstuff 
I have developed a bit of a love for mason jars. Being a Pinterest user, you can barely escape them! You can use them to serve cold drinks in the summer or, alternatively as a vase for flowers. You can buy four for £9.99 from the drinkstuff website so you can do a bit of both! 

6) Desk organiser ~ £2.95 ~ dotcomgiftshop
I love the colour scheme of this pencil pot, the colours are muted and almost pastel-like, giving it a summery look. This is perfect for those people who tend to have their pens scattered all over the place!

7) Skurar plant pot ~ £3 ~ IKEA
Many bloggers have these pots to organise their homes. I love the frill detail around the edge of the pot and I think that it is the perfect way to store pens or make up brushes. This style of pot comes in a variety of different sizes-so stock up because this is the perfect excuse to get organised!

8) Crochet blanket ~ £75 ~ Cath Kidston
This blanket is beautiful and the pastel colours are perfect for summer. It's pricey but gorgeous! 

Thank you for reading!

woodland

It's still Winter, I know, but whilst 'online window shopping' I found a few bits and pieces that made me really excited about Spring. Woodland creatures feature on everything from clothes, to home ware and accessories.

1) This bracelet is absolutely beautiful. I love the earthy look, contrasted with the gold colour. I normally like to stack bracelets, but I feel that this piece would look gorgeously delicate on its own. It is from maxandchloe.com and is $14. I don't know if this company ship internationally but I'm sure you can find similar bracelets online.
 
2) This rabbit night light is the cutest thing. I actually bought this for my sister at Christmas from my favourite online shop, dotcomgiftshop. For £4.95, this light is so affordable and comes with batteries. As my sister has this, I know first-hand that this product is of a good quality. This light doesn't illuminate a room, but it creates a glow similar to a candle, yet safer.
 
3) I love this watch. Similar to the twig bracelet, this watch is gold coloured, simplistic and delicate. It can be found at John Lewis for £65. Although this is quite a lot for a watch, it is an everyday piece that would blend well with a range of different outfits. I love the intricate 'mesh' detailing on the strap and the beautiful burst of earth-tone colours emanating from the hummingbird central to the watch face.
 
4) This perfume is a personal favourite of mine. I love the crisp, floral scent which smells just like Spring. From Boots, the price of this scent ranges from £29.50-£63.50. The smaller, £29.50, bottle is amazing value for money if you are new to this perfume. You receive a little bottle with an extra tube of perfume to refill it. This version lasted me a year, although I used it sparingly!
 
5) I adore Paperchase because of their cutesy, themed, ranges. This woodland range is one of my favourites as it features adorable phone cases, scrapbooks and notepads. I love this notebook because of the busy, floral, design and the mix of bright and earthy colours. It was so difficult to pick one product from this range so I recommend that you check out the other woodland themed products! This book is £8 but you are most definitely paying for quality in Paperchase
 
6) Sorry, this lunchbox is also from dotcomgiftshop! I adore this shop as they are so reasonable but they stock amazing products. This box is the perfect size to fit in your handbag and the design is so vintage and pretty. Like the rabbit night light, this product is also £4.95. I own one of these boxes myself and I can tell you that the quality is great and the design on the top has lasted since summertime.
