Home Stuff

8 September 2013

Urban Outfitters is the best shop ever. I love it. Not only do they do lovely clothing, but their home decor is pretty damn fabulous too! Honestly, when I'm older my house is going to be covered in their stuff. As long as I'm a billionaire though because their stuff is expensive! 
I always knew they had home things, but never really looked before. However, for my textiles homework I have to do a moodboard of soft furnishings, and I was decided to look on Urban Outfitters. 
I am now completely and utterly in love with Urban Outfitters. Obviously though, once I started looking at their soft furnishings, I just ended up looking at EVERYTHING on the Home&Gifts bit, here is a collection of the things I found and loved. It was hard not to just choose everything they have, but I restrained myself.

Doormats&Rugs
These are a few of the doormats and rugs that I saw that I liked. The first two on the bottom row I love because they're quite quirky and I love the patterns, the third one the bottom row is just ADORABLE. Most of these just find cute and would look so lovely in my future house. Also the last one the top is row a Nerdfighters rug!! I love my youtubers so obviously I need that rug, I don't know if its meant to be a Nerdfighters rug but it has DFTBA (don't forget to be awesome) on it so I'm pretty sure it might be. Just in case you don't really know/watch youtubers, John Green (the author of The Fault in Our Stars, Looking For Alaska etc) and his brother Hank Green have their own youtube channel called Vlogbrothers, their fans are called Nerdfighters and their little thing is Don't Forget To be Awesome, just like Louises/Sprinkle of Glitters is,Aloha Sprinklerinos.

Candles
Somehow the top three are little tealight holders, but I'm not sure how they work. The bottom three are candles. I love how everything is all so  cute and I love the little tealight holders at the top. My favourite out of these is the silver rabbit candle, at the moment I am loving metallic colours, which that rabbit is.


Pillows&Bedding


Not much to say about these except they're so fun and quirky!! I am definitely going to get at least one of these pillows maybe for Christmas, but it must be hard for these to match with your house.

Jewellery Holders

I have no proper jewellery holder. I have a little box of drawers which my sister made around when I was born, then she kept it for like a year, then gave it to my other sister who I shared a room with for a while, then when she got her own room the box of drawers were just dumped on me. They have been with me my whole life and they aren't cute they are annoying and if anything just make my room messier. In one of these drawers is where I keep my jewellery, but I feel like I deserve a proper holder, since I have so much jewellery. I love the stag one and the little elephant, but I feel like I need something bigger because I have quite a bit. 

Making this post has made me want to move house so bad. A while ago a house just round the corner of my mine went on sale and it was the cutest house ever, it had proper windows like the ones you slide up and oh I Just loved it! Unfortunately it was brought shortly after it went on sale, and there were two exact same houses next to it and they were both gone as well. Now sitting here making this, I can just imagine what my room would have looked like, but oh well. I want to redecorate my room, but I feel like there is no point. MY room is tiny and always a mess because I have no storage, so there is no point in making it nice. Hopefully we'll move eventually, I'm the only one in my house that wants to move though, but I don't want to move far because all my friends live close and I can walk to school. Maybe when I'm older we can move then I can drive places. I just have the perfect idea for a room, but want a bigger one. We have two big rooms in our house.
There's my parents room, then a big one. It used to be oldest sisters room, but then she went 'travelling' (basically moved to New Zealand) so now my other sister has it. One day though, it better be ine, then I can decorate it perfectly. Or we can just move and we can all have big rooms. Oh well for now I'll survive, at least I don't have to share!:)

Jumpers

So I love summer, but winter is pretty great too. Well mainly because it involves, duvet days, onsies, suit pajamas (if you don't know what they are I plan on doing a post about them when I get some!:) ), CHRISTMAAS, soup (I love vegetable soup I don't know why and literally as soon as it's a teeny bit cold I'm like MUM MAKE SOUP PLEASE) and jumpers.
I know it's not winter yet, I think it's autumn but that makes no difference. Autumn is cold therefore we have to wear warm clothes. Like jumpers.
I love jumpers, who doesn't!? They're warm and baggy and ahh I just love them.
These are my jumpers that I currently own, I've had some of these for a while but I'm going to show you them anyway.
I would just like to say now I'm sorry the pictures are crap quality and the lightings all over the place, I have no camera of my own and I have no idea where the family one is and even if I did I couldn't use it because we've lost the USB plug thing. So I took the pictures on my iPad and well they turned out pretty terrible.... oh well here ya goo
I'm a bit ashamed to say that the majority of these are from Topshop, but before you go thinking I'm a spoilt brat, the first jumper I've had for either two or three years and well the other ones were Christmas/birthday presents.
These are my favourite jumpers. The first one I love its huge and baggy and long enough to wear with leggings and it's just so comfy and warm, but it is a bit see through, its knitted but obviously then it has teeny little holes and stuff so it is a bit see through, but with a white vest under it's all good.
The second is also baggy but it's not long enough to wear with leggings. I'm very particular and if I'm wearing leggings my top must cover my bum. But with jeans I'm fine with it, except the arms are super long and I'm not sure why. It's weird because I love this jumper and sometimes I think it looks really nice on, then I'll wear the exact same outfit again and decide I don't like it. The bottom part goes completely in, like elasticated or something, it's hard to explain, so it kind of goes really round like a mushroom. That doesn't make much sense so I'll add a picture next time I wear it. It's super good at keeping you warm though and it's knitted but isn't itchy and scratchy like some knitted jumpers are.
The first one on the second row is also something I struggle to wear with leggings, but with a long vest on under it's alright. I love this jumper, I literally wore it everyday when it was cold then ne day my friend said to me 'Oh I never realised there was a star on it'. Now let me tell you, once you see the star among the black lines you can never unsee it. So now whenever I see the jumper, all I can see is the star, which is fine and I still love it but I preferred it before I found the star. Also with this jumper, as you can see it's very white and I am a very messy person. I'm not sure how this happens but I will wear something and two minutes later it will be dirty. With a white item of clothing, stains stand out a lot, so obviously I have trouble. I always end up getting ketchup on this jumper even if I haven't had ketchup. I don't care though I love it and food can be removed!
The one next to the white one is a crop top/crop jumper. It doesn't keep you warm like some of the others, so it's good for when it's a bit chilly. This one I tend tow ear with leggings, with a long vest under or with jeans. Needless to say though whenever I wear this jumper, I always have a long vest on underneath. I've had this one for a long time too, maybe two years. I don't know if that's considered a long time to own a piece of clothing, but I wear this jumper a lot. Literally all these jumpers are what I wear in winter. I just keep on outfit repeating but change the accessories or bottoms and pretend no one realizes I'm outfit repeating, even though they must.
These are all from Topshop.

The last jumper on the top line I haven't had for long. I got it for my birthday but almost two months later, from my oldest sister who is currently living in New Zealand. I haven't had much oppotunity to wear this yet, since my birthday is in April and I got this around late May/June as it started to get warmer. However I have worn it a few times and I adore it. I think it's really cute and quirky, and it's from a little store in New Zealand, so no one has it here in the UK! It's so big and baggy and comfy and keeps me warm. It's long enough to wear with leggings but also super nice with jeans. I can't fault this jumper I love it.
The last one on the last line is from Cafe Press, an online shop and it is Captain America. I love superheros and when I first saw the Avengers I was like 'RIGHT it is time I got some superhero merch' so I googled them all and there was pretty much nothing, Well nothing I could find. Then eventually I stumbled across this beauty and I am so happy its colder so I can wear it again. Again I dont think its long enough to wear with leggings, but I do soemtimes, because if I keep pulling it down its fine. I mainly wear it with jeans though, its thick and keeps me warm just like all the others.

So yep, these are my favourite jumpers! Comment down below your blogs and tell me some good places to get jumpers because it's finally time to start purchasing warm clothes!!:)


I Don't Know

4 September 2013

I don't really know what to say right now. I have ideas on what to blog but right now I really can't be bothered to get up and take pictures, or go internet shopping.
All I want to do is lie in bed and play sims.
I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what I aim for my blog.
I'm just going to post random stuff which will hopefully entertain you. Or just give you something to read. I like make up and beauty, but I don't really have any amazing products to show. I love reading about new products and what to buy, but at the current moment in time I don't really want to blog about that because I don't really have any amazing products and I rarely wear a lot of makeup. Just a bit of foundation, concealer then I'm off to school. Also it's my blog and I should post what I want, I know but I also want followers. Not loads but you know, I hope by this time next year I have at least 5 followers (I know I aim high :') ) but I want to find other blogs like mine. That just post about their lives and stuff.
I read mainly anything, beauty blogs, fashion blogs, ANY blogs but I just need to find more that I like.
It's hard to explain but yeah, I'm going to go blog hunting tonight.
I tend to go rambling on as well, I could make this post last forever, but it would be no fun to read.
I don't even know why I made this post. I guess because I find it fun just to type out what I'm thinking? My thoughts come so quickly I like to just write them down.
This post is crap and boring I know but argh I have no idea what I'm trying to say but basically I'm sorry if my blog has no specific theme I have an idea what to make it but I don't know if it's a real thing.
I think I may  just document my life here. My life isn't very fun though so I don't know if people would enjoy reading it but sometimes I go out and do crazy stuff (like go up the road and buy fruit pastels for my wild nights in). There will be fashion and beauty but not a lot or maybe there will I have no idea.
I'm sorry for rambling I'm sorry about this mess of a post I don't think anyone will read this but oh well I may as well.

THIS POST DOESNT EVEN HAVE ANY POINT TO IT. I'm sorry, tomorrow or the day after I will post something much funner than this. Not saying it will be the best post ever, but lets be honest, it can't be hard to make something more entertaining than this.
If you read this thankyouuu and comment below your blogs because chances are I'll follow you.Maybe I'll post one day why I started this blog. I should have done it now probably but I just got back from the gym and showered and think it's time to put on my pajamas and have a diet coke.

Sucker For Shirts

2 September 2013

I think I mentioned this in my first ever post, I love shirts.
The other day during my web browsing I came across some shirts which I love the look of, but alas I'm not allowed to purchase them. They are from places where you have to pay for them to be delivered my Mum doesn't want me to get them incase I don't like them and have to send them back and have to pay to send them back.
Even though I'm pretty sure I would keep them well definitely one, but considering my mum would probably pay for them it's up to her. It's annoying though because one is only £7 but she says no despite the fact I can actually afford that.
All shops I look in don't have any shirts like these, which just add to my annoyance.
These are the shirts I found. Now looking at them I'm not even sure about the patterns. I really like the bagginess of these shirts and the fact they're long enough to cover your bum if you're wearing leggings. They would also look nice with a pair of skinnies rolled up a little bit not tucked in. With disco pants tucked up you could jazz it up a little bit, with a long thin gold chain they would look really nice I think.
My favourite is the end one, from a shop called Elsie&Fred, probably one of my favourite little shops now, but I won't be getting anything from there anytime soon due to the whole shipping thing.
When I have enough money I will buy from there.
The first shirt is from the Asos marketplace, shirts and blouses.
The middle two are from eBay, type in oversized vintage shirts and they should come up, unless they've been brought.
Then of course the end one is Elsie&Fred.
If any of you know where I could get a shirt like these or just like a good old oversized baggy shirt, please let me know!!
I plan on going charity shop shopping soon so hopefully I'll find some there, you never know. It's annoying though, because I have some charity shops up my road but they're not really good ones and when my friend was volunteering there for DofE she said they like to stock up on stuff teenagers wouldn't necessarily like. 
Oh well, I know where quite a few charity shops are and maybe I'll go tomorrow.

Independent Labels

1 September 2013

On Asos, and I'm sure many other websites, they have an independent labels bit. For some reason I never usually look there, which I now realize is a huge mistake. These little places have tops that I have been looking for, for ages.

I love the 'We Are Hairy People' label, all of their garments are hand painted which I think is incredible, when you go through their clothes its hard to believe it was hand painted.
I like these t shirts but you can't really see them because they only had pictures of the tops on the models, not just lying flat out.
The first two I have no problem with, they look nice baggy and comfy, the best type of t shirt.
However with the third one, I have very broad shoulders, and these type of tops don't always suit me, but I really like it. If I were to get it I think it would look best with a skater skirt (that's what the model wears and it looks beautiful) but I have no skater skirt. I really want one though but I'd rather get a pair of boyfriend jeans then skirt. With the last one i love the sleeves and colour, but I'm not too sure about 'dope' written on it. Some people can pull it off but I feel like I'd just  look like an idiot.

Now my laptop won't let me look at the independent brands on their website anymore. I'll do a part two of this post when it starts to work again. I hope it works soon, I am loving these clothes.
