November Wish List!

Aloha!
 
It is currently nearly half way through the month which means I have already started thinking about what I am going to buy with my next wage ;) There are so many things I would like, but a few things I am deffinitley considering spending my next wage on are listed below. I have also started buying Christmas presents for people! So expect my very own Christmas Wish List coming soon : )
 
 
I have wanted a pair of Ugg Meenas for ever! They are just the cutest little things ever! They look so cosy yet not as full on as Ugg boots. I have about 3 pairs of Ugg boots and my latest pair are nearly done with the amount I wear them!
 
 
 
Elle at Dreaming in Blush absolutely swears by this Christian Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing plumping lip balm. I watch all her youtube videos and she makes out that its the holy grail of lip products. I must have this!! Also, its meant to smell absolutely gorgeous!! 
 
 
I have just about finished my bottle of foundation so am looking for a new one. I have heard such good things about this Chanel Perfection Lumiere Fluid foundation. And based on my latest Chanel products it must be amazing! 
 
 
As it is starting to get colder, I have been wearing my Hollister parka to work. However, I don't think it goes well with my usual work attire so I would love to get a trench coat/mac. This one from Gant is lovely and looks really sophisticated!
 
 
I am absolutely obsessed with buying stuff for my home. I love neutral colours like creams and have been looking for a new rug for my living room for ages! This one from IKEA is deffinitley the one, so I'm going to start nagging Guy to go halfers with me when we get paid ;)
 
 
Lately to wind down before bed, I have been lighting a candle. I feel like it really helps me relax and de-stress me, however my current Yankee bedside candle I have is nearly gone. I think its called Sparkling Snow from last years Christmas collection. These large candles burn for about 110 hours so they're absolutely a must for the cold winter nights to come! I am deffinitley getting Yankee Candle's Snowflake Cookie on my next shopping trip!
 
This wish list has turned into a 'deffinitley getting when I get paid list', ha ha! What are you guys wanting to get when you next get paid? Let me know in the comments below : )

PS. I will be announcing the winner of my 50 followers giveaway shortly ; )

Pretty Little Things

A couple of weeks ago I went home to visit my mum. She took me and my boyfriend out for lunch then took us to a lovely little antiques shop where we picked up a couple of things for the flat. I absolutely adore the shabby chic look just now, so the majority of our items were just that.




My dressing table was purchased out of that antique shop when we first moved in....




Out little bedside column was the perfect location for our new bird cage mirror.





This is the storm lantern we got, which was our favourite find! We placed some church pillar candles inside and it looks beautiful at night. I think some fairy lights would look gorgeous inside it at Christmas time...

What do you guys think? : )

Ps. Almost forgot to include this unique little piece...the birdcage and column were also bought from the antique shop but the little owl was purchased from the garden centre where we had lunch : )
