Interior Wish List

Hello you! First things first, you may have noticed things look different around here, Little Lottie has had a bit of a makeover and looks totally fabulous. I'm really pleased with the design I bought on Etsy and recommend you to have a browse if you want to spruce things up too.

To honour my new blog theme today I'm going to share some housey objects that I would love to decorate with when I have a little place of my own one day. You may notice a pattern here... (grey and pink) 

Living Room

I would want to keep the living room super cosy and modern, with pops of pink and coral around to keep it bright. The living room is the hub of a house and when friends visit or you curl up to watch a scary movie the comfy sofa is key. These quote cushions make a lovely statement against the plain grey furniture and I couldn't help but add them all to the wishlist!

Shop the room:

Corner Sofa - Asda

Love Seat - My Love Seat.com

Key cushion - Dunelm Mill

Spotty Cushion - H&M Home

Hello cushion - Dunelm Mill

Rug - IKEA
Pink & Grey Candle - Tesco Direct

Kitchen

The current trend is very obviously pastel colours and I personally love it, especially in the home. Carrying the pink through the house these beautiful appliances add subtle colour to an often boring room - and I hate cooking. These pastels really compliment each other but you can go for matching instead if desired. 

Shop the room:
Appliances - Dunelm Mill
Jug- Dunelm Mill

Chalkboard - Urban Outfitters
Lemons Towel - Tesco Direct


Bedroom

I currently have a rather girly bedroom but this will have to be toned down a tad when Nick and I move in together. White opens up a room and changes the look of furniture completely just by adding a lick of paint, shades of grey and other "uni-sex colours" is my compromise to a bit more pink. Although I couldn't resist a few Christmas additions.  

Shop the room:

Reindeer Candle - Tesco Direct

Suite pillow case - H&M

Choose Happiness cushion - H&M

White Furniture Set - Dunelm Mill

A Long Weekend Away

Driving to the wedding

Recently I had a long weekend away and some time off work to recuperate, we went to Wales which is 5 hours from where I live. I drove the entire way, singing along to Ariana Grande and Radio 1, I think Nick (my fiancé) got quite fed up. It was a rainy weekend but that didn't ruin the gorgeous country views on the way. On Friday night after the drive we stayed at Premier Inn (living it up, as usual) near Cardiff. I would have loved to explore the big cities but in the morning we had another 3 hour drive to complete to get to my lovely friend's wedding.

Premier Inn = Sleep time

I think we hit about every obstacle possible on the way to the wedding. After 3 tractors, 1 road closure, 1 motorbike race event and a tourist road train ...(yes, a train full of tourists driving on the road) I was getting rather stressed but we made it 10 minutes early to the wedding and sprinted to the gorgeous marquee to grab a seat on the decorated hay bales. The wedding was pretty and quirky like my good friend, the bride.

Quirky cake

The wedding venue seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere but had scenic views across Wales and was high up a hill in Llanidloes, (the Sat Nav was key here.) After dancing the night away and drinking champagne by the campfire until midnight we slept in our tents and woke up to a bacon sandwich made by the bridesmaids. As I'm engaged myself I couldn't help but think about how lovely this small wedding was and what dress I would choose for my big day.

I was eager to stop off at Bristol for some shopping on the way home so after dragging a hungover Nick into the car we set off to find the Cabot Circus Mall. When we arrived at the car park we immediately made our way to H&M and Primark, these are very big high street stores that I'm a fan of. We decided to stay in Bristol for tea before the remaining 3 hour journey home and after trawling round the food court trying to decide on dinner we ended up in Frankie and Benny's (an American themed Italian restaurant.) I went for the Pulled Pork 10" pizza and ate every slice whilst Nick had a pulled pork burger, afterwards we well and truly felt like pigs.

Yummmmyyy

Nick fell asleep the rest of the way home, we arrived just before 9pm and had a much needed sleep.

I rarely venture out on long trips in the car but it was very fun and felt like an adventure to just aimlessly drive with a Sat Nav into the abyss of the countryside.

I hope you enjoyed this post, it's slightly different to my usual but expect more as I've booked a holiday to Makadi Bay!

In love with Yesstyle.com

Korean beauty and products are spreading round blogs and YouTube channels faster than I could research why they were so great. To sum up... LOOK AT THE PACKAGING! Cutest ever!

All our 'English' products in Boots and Superdrug now appear so boring to me, who cares about rose gold I want my make up to look like this!:

Petite Bunny Gloss Bar

Etude House Hand Cream

Thanks to Étude House for the images.

There are also natural ingredient pro's to Korean and Asian beauty products of course, also after watching Cutiepie Marzia's video of her Japan haul I couldn't help but fall in love with the gorgeous clothing designs. (Watch Marzia's video)
Off I went on the hunt for Asian beauty and clothing after being inspired by Marzia's flawless look and stumbled across the site Yesstyle.

It has everything from skincare to lingerie at pretty good prices. I'm obsessed, in fact I'm pretty sure I spent all of yesterday in bed with my cat looking through the site. My self control shocked me and I limited myself to 4 things (keep your eye out for a haul!)

Let me know if I'm years late on the bandwagon with this site but I would recommend everyone to have a look, even the gentleman out there, because there truly is something for everyone!

Random blog post I know but the site is really amazing and I'm looking forward to posting a haul very soon ;)
