The Daily Want No.2

 
Zara (£29.99)

This is such a cute bag which I spotted on the Zara website today and thought this definitely needed to be added to my wants list! I really like the shape of this bag and I love the studs on the handles of the bag, its not too much its just right. I would like to buy this for uni but I'm not too sure how practical it would be for fitting books but I could be wrong it may be a lot bigger in person. If not then I'll just use it for day to day uses. Ooo, how could I forget, it has a strap! I love straps on handbags because it just allows you to leave the bag hanging from your shoulder and sort of gives it a casual look. The price of this bag is also really good compared to the prices of their other lovely handbags, so I think I will for sure be purchasing this!

A Day In The Life of Me

I've had such a lovely planned yet unplanned day today, so I thought it would be nice to blog about it! Me and my cousin have always loved the show Made In Chelsea and always said one day we would and today was finally the day that we decided to go. We travelled half way to Chelsea by bus and then had to walk all the way from Hyde Park Corner to Chelsea because of the Olympic events around Hyde Park. I think that has got to be the longest walk I have ever taken I am still so drained lol! After that long walk we finally saw a street sign that let us know we had finally reached the borough of Kensington and Chelsea. 


First photo of the day after such a long walk

Once we saw that sign we walked past Solane Square and finally reached the main Chelsea high street Kings Road. As we were walking enjoying ourselves and the area around us we see photographers flashing lights and we think okay lets cross the road and see what this is about. To our surprise it was Jamie from Made In Chelsea taking promo pictures for the his new shop Candy Kittens.

Outside Jamie Laing's Candy Kittens Store, Chelsea - Kings Roads SW3

After all of the excitement of seeing Jamie and thinking that none of them would be there; we  took a stroll and found ourselves at Chelsea Sqaure. It was a really nice and quiet area with such nice house, I would love to live there!

Chelsea Square, SW3
Once we were done visiting Chelsea Square and it's surrounding areas we were completely drained! We went to go and get something to eat and found ourselves in Nandos, it felt so good to be able to sit down and have something to eat.

 On our way to Nando's past the classic Chelsea houses

 In Nandos - was so hungry and tired that I forgot to take a picture of my food lol!

After enjoying our meal and having a rest, we decided it would be best to head home after a long but enjoyable day. We sorted ourselves out and took our last pictures of the day. Only to find out 20 mins later that would not be the case!




Our suppoused last photos of the day, I'm so short :( lol!

Once we left Nandos we walked back to Kings Road to get the bus back home until when we got there we saw this, it was actually the press/launch release of Candy Kittens!



 Jamie's Candy Kittens

 And more Candy Kittens
 Spencer Matthews

 Proudlock and two other lovely girls we met outside Candy Kitten

 Jamie, Proudlock and Francis

 Cheska and Jamie
Millie Mackintosh 

This was so unexpected and so fun to meet some of the members from Made In Chelsea! They were all so lovely and friendly when speaking to us. Francis was just like how he is in the show so cute lol. After this last picture of Millie unfortunately my camera died and it started to get a bit hectic with all of the paparazzi outside the shop. Me and my cousin were not expecting to see one member from the case let a lone six. It was such a fun day browsing around Chelsea and then the cherry on top was actually meeting the members from the show that we love!

Are any of you a fan of the show Made In Chelsea? 

Hope you're all well!

My Dream Bedroom


I love interior designs and once wanted to be an interior designer but I can't draw just have all of the ideas in my head! My dad should be redoing my bedroom soon (once he's finally motivated himself to start!), the thought of that made me want to create a post dedicated to my dream bedroom. I would like to take aspects from these and incorporate it
 into my own. I'm quite what's the word.. minimalistic when it comes to interior designs if that's even the correct word lol. I love white, pastel and neutral colours. I feel like it makes the room look chic with a girly touch to it. The pictures above just incorporate everything I love  in a bedroom, any of those would definitely be my dream bedroom! 


What would be your dream bedroom?

Birthday Wants

Its my birthday in 3 days YEY, so thought I would do a post on my birthday wants. Hopefully I get them all lol!


I've been wanting this bag for ages and hopefully I'll finally be able to get it on my birthday. It's from romwe.com an American website (I think lol) they have some very good pieces which should definitely be checked out! I think its the zips at the front which drew me to love the bag, its something different which I like. I't's something which I'll be able to use day or night and be able to fit everything in, unlike the bags that I carry around now! 

2. Nike Blazer Hi Vintage (£67.00)
Not a big fan of trainers but I love these, especially because they're high tops! I think that they could be so versatile like converse, I'd be able to wear them with skater dresses or a pair of coloured jeans. I'll be living in these when I get them, I'll have to start giving myself a restraining order when I get them lol! 



I think I'm a bit obsessed with watching TV, but since I'll hopefully be starting University in September. I'll most likely have those days where I'll be feeling bored or home sick and these will definitely be able to cheer me up lol. These are a few of the ones that I'd like to have. New Girl is so hilarious I'm such a sucker for stupid humour, Friends With Benefits was so cliché but I thought it was so good I love Mila Kunis. 90210 and Gossip Girl everyone loves a bit of TV Drama ^_^ all of these will keep me in very good company during my University terms! 

4. Flat Studded Loafers  (£19.99)


Topshop had these for £28 and I wanted them so bad but they all went out of stock so quickly but now I've found one that looks exactly the same and for cheaper.  I like the studs which makes them stand out and not look like any ordinary loafer. Just like the Nike Blazers I think that they'll go with a lot of things, I really need to add these to my shoe collection!


5. Marc Jacobs Daisy 100ml (£56.00)


I cant even explain how nice this smells *drools*, its just so girly, summery and YUM! The design of the bottle is also so cute! I'll most definitely be overdosing myself with this perfume! 

Hope you're all well!

The Daily Want No.1


I've been looking everywhere for a floral pair of skinny jeans, each shop I went too I either didn't like the floral print, colours or fit. Whilst roaming around asos.com, as you do lol, I found a pair that I actually really like! These are from the River Island collection on asos. I love the colours that they've chosen and the size of the print. These would look really cute with a white tee and a pair of converse for a really casual look, or you could dress it up with a blouse and pair of heels. I think these are a very versatile pair of skinny jeans which I shall be adding to my to buy list! :)

1st Post - Style Inspirations!

My style and the things that I like is forever changing. However, these are my style inspirations that help me and allow me to develop my style into my own.

From left to right: Whitney Port, Solange Knowles, Kourtney Kardashian and Lauren Conrad


Whitney Port 
Whitney always has those pieces of clothing that just stand out and make her outfit look that extra special. Her style is simple yet classy and this is what I love about her!


Solange Knowles
The beautiful Solange. She always looks so colourful and has the best prints/designs in her clothing. The colours and textures that she uses are always so unexpected but never fail to please the eye!


Kourtney Kardashian 
Out of all of the Kardashian sisters, I personally feel that Kourtney has the best style. Even when she was pregnant with her second baby Penelope she still looked like such a yummy mummy. She either has her really girly look or she'll go for the androgyny look, I love the way she can easily switch it up and still look gorgeous! 


Lauren Conrad 
Miss LC. I love her style because she's always so feminine. The pieces that she picks always makes her look so girly and chic!
