My Dressing Table.

24 Jan 2014


I'm certain I'm not alone when I say that nosing around someones bedroom is oddly fascinating and in the beauty blogger world this translates to dressing table setups and make-up collections. So, as I don't have a huge collection of make-up I thought I'd share my dressing table with you. When I become mega-bucks rich (it will happen...one day!) I will have a gorgeous white dressing table, with matching mirror and chair. But for now, I have my chest of drawers instead.

Like many bloggers, I house my make-up and hair brushes in the super pretty pots from Ikea. I don't conform to complete bblogger stereotype though with the Alexa drawers! ;) The 'Please Don't Leave' dish that I keep my hair bands and earrings in is from Urban Outfitters. It was one of those purchases where I didn't really know what I was going to use it for but I couldn't not have it! The glass heart jar is one of my favourite items on my dressing table. I got it from Sainsbury's to house my cotton pads in, and it fits them in perfectly! The Keep Calm and Carry On wooden banner is a purchase I made in the tiny town of Conwy in North Wales. I love anything patriotic, so it was right up my street but again another purchase that I didn't really have a use for, aside from looking pretty obviously! ;)

I won't lie, it doesn't usually look this tidy. I keep both my current make-up bag and current skincare out on display so it usually gets rather messy and disorganized by the end of the week! I'm happy with the way it looks at the moment though, even if my heart longs for a fancy white dressing table!

What does your dressing table look like? If you've done a post like this let me know, I'm nosey too ;)

My Insta-Wall

1 Sept 2013


If I could only have one social media platform to play with, it would without a doubt be Instagram. I bloody love it, even if my friends do tell me off for constantly posting pictures of food! This in mind, I wanted to print off some of my photos - I hate the fact that you have hundreds of beautifully filtered photos wasting away on your phone! I found the website Prinstagram and immediately fell in love with the picture sizes and designs you could purchase and I obviously made an order!

I got the largest square size (4x4in) which comes in a set of 24 and the mini 'polaroid' style (8.5x5.5cm) which comes in a set of 48. I love the polaroid style prints as you can add a little annotation under the photo! I still haven't decided whether I'm going to do this to the photos above, or if I'm going to purchase a new set for scrapbook purposes which I can annotate to my hearts content.

Each set was $12 and p&p was $12 as well, so it was a total of $36 which came to about £23 - I thought this was pretty good value, considering the amount of prints I was getting. They also came really speedily and the actual quality of the prints is really great, not at all flimsy like some website prints!

When I first bought them I wasn't entirely sure where I was going to put them, but I'm so glad how it turned out. I always lust over 'Insta-Walls' on Pinterest and now I have my own! I'm sure I'll be adding to it soon when I have a few more photos as well :)

I love having lots of photos in my room, its nice to have physical reminders of happy memories to look at. :) Do you print out any photos?
