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! :)

#VintSetFest - An evening of vintage blogger loveliness!

Last night, me and Sara decided to trek down to Birmingham for a bloggers event we had been invited to by the lovely Charlotte from The Vintage Set. It was quite a long journey (2 hours each way) but it was totally worth it and we both had a lovely time! There was so much fun stuff to do while we were there including getting some lovely nail art, browse all the vintage clothing and jewellery stalls, hook-a-duck to win a prize, there was a BBQ outside, goodie bags for everyone, a live band, a Q&A session with people from The Clothes Show Live and lots more!

The first stall when you walk in was The Vintage Set's stall who is run by the lovely Charlotte who put on the event. There was honestly so many gorgeous little vintage blouses and floral pleated skirts, why do I have to be so skint?! Don't worry though as she has an Asos Marketplace and I will definitely be placing an order in the future as they're so adorable and so affordable too! I also took part in the bloggers style challenge where we had to style a model using the clothes and accessories from around the event which was fun! :)

There was so many lovely other stalls to look at too selling everything from clothing and accessories to hair products and iPhone cases! I was very tempted by a couple of the rings, the granny sunglasses and the £5 treasure box full of clothes!

We were all lucky enough to receive a goodie bag full of lovely samples and products, we could grab some sweeties from the Candy Bar and we all queued up to get our nails done by Rosie from Nails By Rosie who is super talented, and I really want a whole set of sunflower nails now!

The cute little #VSF bracelet that we all received before the event / My sunflower nail art that I had done at 'Nails By Rosie's stall / All the lovely goodies I picked up at the event!

Thanks for reading :)

Did you go along to the event too? Please leave your link below if you did!

If you look up the hashtag #VintSetFest on twitter and instagram you can see lots of lovely pictures from all the other bloggers which went along too!

Wednesday wishlist #5

This Summer I have way too many things I'm lusting over and way not enough pennies! This weeks wishlist seems to be a lot of white and light floral/patterned pieces. I'm going to be selling some bits on eBay so maybe this can fund for a couple of treats for myself ;)

Topshop lace waist maxi dress - £46.00
I only seem to have black maxi dresses and skirts, which isn't the best colour to be wearing in the sun as it attracts the heat! This maxi dress is really plain, and would look lovely with some layered necklaces. I love the detailed waist which would look nice with a tanned belly!

Il Centimetro measuring tape bracelet - £55 
I have recently come across this company, and they sell the loveliest measuring tape bracelets made out of authentic leather digitally printed. As a fashion design student, I absolutely love this and would wear it every single day! They have plenty of colours to choose from, but the white is definitely my favourite :)

Missguided white studded flatforms - £26.99 
I've seen alot of people with the black version of these flatforms, but I have way too many black shoes already, including a pair of black studded flatforms (which I blogged about here). I absolutely love this white pair and think they'd look lovely with a maxi dress or a pair of high waisted trousers!

Dixi crystal bullet necklace - £16.00
I've started creating a nice little collection of necklaces, long and short, and have recently gotten over my fear of silver jewellery! Okay, so it wasn't actually a fear, but I only ever used to buy gold jewellery and really hated the thought of silver, but now silver is my new favourite! I love bullet necklaces and love the dip-dye/ombre effect on this one!

Urban Outfitters elephant crop top - £20.00
How cute is this crop top?! I have a proper thing for elephants, and recently bought myself the most gorgeous elephant rug which I'm sure I'll feature in a haul sometime soon! This crop top is so cute and simple and would look great with a maxi skirt or some shorts!

Oversized 'Monday I'm in love' floral clutch bag - £18.00
I love love love this oversized clutch bag! It's on the Oh My Love website, and I love so many of their things already (including Waiste, of course!) Obviously we all love the song 'Friday I'm in love' by The Cure, and I love this phrase as Monday. I now also love this brand!

Thanks for reading :)
What have you got on your wishlist this week?

Sunday summary #5

It's been almost a month since I've last posted a Sunday summary post, and this is very naughty of me as I told myself I would do them every single Sunday! I've been home for Summer about a month now so all of these photos are since being home from university and all the random things I've been up to! I've been on a few mini getaways to the beach and to see friends, I've caught up with my besties and had lots of yummy food which is always nice when I'm used to student living for the rest of the year!

 Joe brought us home some lovely beers to have with our dinner! I've kept them to put flowers in after :)

My gorgeous elephant rug from the Urban Outfitters sale!

My cutie little boyfriend Joe - he made me sit on the uncomfy chair cos he wanted the throne!

I love my Juju jellies! I want to get myself some in black now :)

My Minkpink dress, gold Casio watch and some Budweiser for a roadtrip!

Me and my bestie went to London Dungeons - it was terrifying and so much scarier than when I was younger!

Starbucks almost got my name right! I actually spelt it out D-A-N-I and they still got it wrong!

This week I made some lovely necklaces for Waiste clothing, you can buy them here :)

Me and Joe on our little getaway at the caravan!

Gotta love having some Pimms and snacks in the sun!

Cameo and crochet!
