John Lewis homeware wishlist!

I only have one year left at university now, and I can't stop thinking about moving back home and then eventually moving out with Joe! I try my hardest not to buy loads of homeware because I really don't have the space at the moment at my home and uni house, but it's so damn hard when there are so many gorgeous pieces out there tempting me! I usually let myself buy something if I see it at a carboot sale or in a charity shop because I know that if I don't buy it then, I literally never will be able to again, but sometimes it's okay to treat yourself and make your bedroom look pretty at the same time! :)

I have always loved browsing the homeware at John Lewis, even as a kid, and nowadays when I pop in with Joe, we always seem to find 100 things that we say "oh we can add this to our house when we move in together", so I thought I would start doing homeware wishlists more often, as I love reading them myself, and I love getting excited about moving into my own little house!

Typhoon Tea, Coffee and Sugar Storage Set - £30.00
It's actaully sad how excited I am for little things such as buying tea, coffee and sugar storage for my kitchen! I love the simplicity of this set, and would really like to have simple pastel colours in my kitchen with some vintage advert signs hanging on the walls.

Cath Kidston Provence Rose Milk Jug - £7.00
I cannot go into John Lewis without having a little browse of the Cath Kidston range! With the mugs at only £6.50 each, and some of the other kitchen supplies at just £7/8 each, I am slowly but surely starting to build up a lovely little collection! I absolutely love the pattern and colours of this pouring jug, and would have to get the mug in the same pattern to match!

Jenny Worrall Pink and Beige Glass Lamp - £325.00

As you all know (and judging by my blog name) I love all things floral! I particularly love this lamp with the floral pattern on the bottom half, although I would probably change the lampshade into a pink tasseled vintage one to go with all my other vintage finds! John Lewis have so many gorgeous table lamps for all around the house, and I know that I'm going to end up with a house full of pretty little lamps!

Newgate Cola Wall Clock - £35.00
I absolutely love this clock! I love finding genuine vintage items for my future house, but I also love finding brand new items with a vintage feel. This has such an American Diner feel and would be so lovely in the kitchen!

Little Blossom Patchwork Cushion - £15.00
How cute is this patchwork pillow?! I love the ditsy patchwork materials mixed with some gingham and dotted patterns too! I love all the different pink and purple shades and think this would look so lovely in a white and pink bedroom!

Cath Kidston Pink Large Spot Towels - £4.00 - £32.00
Another thing that really caught my eye from the Cath Kidston collection was these dotty towels! I usually just go straight to the chinaware and haberdashery sections, but these towels are actually so damn cute! I definitely know where I'll be buying my towels from when I move out! :)

Cable and Cotton 'Marshmallow' fairy lights!

I've been on the lookout for some cute fairy lights to put around my bed headboard at uni for some time now. The lighting in my room is quite dark so it would be nice to have some extra lighting in the form of little fairy lights! When I came across these gorgeous delicate lights by Cable and Cotton I absolutely had to have them! You can pick individually which colours you would like on your string of lights, or choose from previously selected sets of colours which I did, and these ones are called Marshmallow! I love the light colours which will go so perfectly in my uni room when I move back!

Cable and Cotton 'Marshmallow' fairy lights - £22.95*

When they arrived, they were placed separately in the box with the fairy lights next to them. It meant that you could choose the ordering of the colours, either having an ombre effect of light to dark, or having them in a light-dark-light effect like I have, or even a totally random effect! They are really simple to put together too - you simply twist each ball onto the individual light bulb. The price for a set of 20 lights is £22.95 which I think is really reasonable as it doesn't break the bank and they are such a lovely touch to a bedroom!

How absolutely adorable do they look when they are lit up?! They become more of a neutral pastel, creamy colour when they are lit and I absolutely love the shade of light they give off! They make me feel really young like I should be in a little bed-cover den with fairy lights! I am having a BBQ tomorrow and these will definitely be in the conservatory towards the end of the night to light up the place so look out for a blog post about that and pictures of the lights in action! :)

Home decor: My new floral cake stand!

I've been on the lookout for the perfect cake stand for ages now, and I just couldn't seem to find one which took my fancy! They look so lovely as jewellery stands in the corner of your bedroom, and are the perfect centre piece for a little tea party with friends! When I was contacted by the lovely people at OutThereInteriors.com to ask if I wanted to review an item, I absolutely HAD to choose this cake stand! It has three layers, of three different patterns and colour, and it has a lovely vintage feel about it.

Vintage Chintz Cake Stand - £39.00*

How gorgeous is it?! And it was the perfect excuse to have a little tea party with lots of yummy cake goodies! There are so many lovely things sold on the website, and I'm particularly in love with the vintage french furniture range, I would love the white dressing table in my bedroom! :)
