Wednesday Wishlist: H&M Christmas range

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15

Now Halloween and Bonfire Night is over, it's totally acceptable to talk about and share my love for Christmas and all its attire, right? To tell you the truth, the real excitement for Christmas doesn't kick-start until right into December (practically a week before when all the Christmas presents are bought and wrapped and I'm less stressed). As I get older I'm finding myself lost in a festive world where the true magical moments happen as a child BUT one thing I'm always so giddy about is Christmas decor and homeware interior. 

Of course, my go to place is H&M, always. They supply a collection that meets my compulsive silver and rose gold needs all year round and once the seasonal stock comes out, I almost can't help myself. With the amount of cutesy details, cheery kitchenware and unique tree hangings, I can feel a mega splurge coming on. I say this like I own my own house but really I'll just end up piling each tiny, overcrowded room with boxes of H&M deliveries which can only be brought out once a year. The thing is, I also think a few of my picks could be re-used again once the Christmas hype is over. Items such as the metal holder, the candle, the super sequined cushion and how can I resist those gorgeous copper acorns?!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Wednesday Wishlist: Habitat homeware inspiration

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8

Finally, after what seems like months (actually, what is months back) I've made a start on rejuvenating my bedroom. Well, when I say made a start, I mean I've contacted the local decorator and he's made arrangements to visit one evening this week to estimate the price of painting and wallpapering. I'm hoping it's affordable, mainly because I feel like I've been waiting forever to change the entire design but even so, I'd still find a way to pay because there's just no going back once I have my excited head on.

Yesterday morning, another new addition arrived (with a call from the delivery man to let us know they were on their way, at 7am! srsly, Homebase) and that was my dressing table/makeup storage/general hoarding mess once I've got started with the de-cluttering. It's a glossy white shade with one single draw and a big enough space on top but small enough dimensions to fit into my tiny room. I can't even express how much I'm looking forward to DIY'ing and making it into my personal space. As the desk came from Homebase, I remembered Habitat goods were also sold within Homebase and then it reminded me of all the matching, practical decor I've had my eye on when discovering and browsing the Habitat website now and again. The increase in interest for interiors has tripled whilst I've been lusting over everything I desire (especially on the likes of gh0stparties instagram page) and now I only seem to settle for the same thing; crisp and classic. I believe choosing the right tones and accessories for a room can completely transform it and that's what I intend to do. The 'theme' for my bedroom is fresh white with hints of silver, chrome, copper and pine. I want to keep everything bright, airy and minimal and all the items listed here would fit in well. I feel like for someone who doesn't own their home yet, I am way too into homeware.

Where are your favourite places to shop for homeware? I'd love some more inspo!

Wishlist: the Urban Outfitters homeware edit

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20

It's no secret that I'm a bit of a homeware hoarder. I could solemnly swear to the fact I waste half my life browsing for the best pieces even when I don't have my own space to display them in. One place I can never get enough of is the Urban Outfitters website (and surprisingly, not for clothes this time!). Their homeware collection is so dreamy and often sends me into a wishful, mindful thinking process of owning my own bright, airy home complete with huge windows and white walls.

Lately, I've found myself really into those little extras which can transform a dull room into something personal and adventurous. I adore accessories with quotes on and quote prints placed in frames as I think they're such a lovely addition to a room and can be the sort of thing you look and smile at on a bad day whilst you put your feet up and attempt to relax. I don't think I'll ever get bored of copper and monochrome designs which most probably reflects throughout this wishlist. Anything fresh looking with an inch of essence and I'm sold!

Is there any specific shop you instantly go to for homeware pieces? What're your favourites?

Wednesday Wishlist: Gifts and Pieces

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8

Today's Wednesday Wishlist brings you my new favourite go to website for homeware and cutesy bits that bring a taste of retro and chic to your home. I discovered Gifts and Pieces a few month ago and often find myself browsing to see the latest dainty decor I can swoon over. I'm yet to make a purchase but their latest collection may say different (that monochrome striped mug has to be mine, it reminds me of something oh so Kate Spade). Now, I'm holding my hands up and admitting I have an obsession with everything French and luckily Gifts and Pieces feed my admiration. I probably keep mentioning it, but I do plan on reinventing my confined bedroom to something more clean, feminine and me and the items displayed on this lovely site most certainly inspire my tastes. In particular, the copper Eiffel Tower scissors, Eiffel Tower card holder, printed pencils and the iPhone wooden holder which would be my total rescue in preventing me from leaving my phone hanging around and increasing the risk of loss and accident! All four accessories have me dreaming of my own personal work space, with the Paris gold foil print hovering above on my freshly painted white walls, and my initial block letter stood in line (the only problem being, 'B' isn't listed *sigh*). For now though, until I've built up the funds, I'll just sit and lust.

Wishlist: H&M homeware

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10

I was planning on posting this a couple of days back but the process of tweaking my brand, spanking new template took over my life (oops). As easy as it was to install (I couldn't recommend Pipdig enough) I'm such a perfectionist and have been debating with myself which features I want to display, which colours, which fonts etc, not to mention a freshly designed header by moi-meme. Now it's all done and I'm so happy with it and I hope my readers feel the same way. Do let me know your thoughts! 

H&M is the first place I look when I have a sudden craving for buying homeware. The majority of their stylish yet simple, chic and even quirky range have me hooked at first sight. It's guaranteed every time I visit the website and the new season stock has been updated, I'll find a bunch of items I could add to my basket without second thought. The thing I love the most is how versatile each item is; they can be displayed in most rooms and provide so much inspiration for how to work an interior idea. 

Currently I'm hoping to redecorate my bedroom (as soon as I save up that is). Just like my style, my eye for detail has changed to a more minimal concept. My love for floral and over patterned decor has gone out of the window (no pun intended) and fresh white, clear glass and silver with an added twist here and there is more my thing. The copper and silver metal theme that runs through H&M at the moment is seriously swoon worthy and I adore the marble look as shown on the photo frame and the candle. It's unusual in the sense it's different from the ordinary and it would be the perfect modern addition to a room. As you can probably see, cushions with quotes/words that look pretty but don't make no sense to me on are my favourite kind. Styled with a more plain printed cushion or a monochrome finish would set the clean, crisp vibe. Lastly, there's the fun and handy pieces, like the eyelash ceramic dish that would make an ideal place to put your teeny makeup bits and would even make a quirky background for a photo. The white ceramic box is the ultimate small storage space that not only looks the part but does the job too.

Do you have a favourite place to shop for homeware?
