Favourite Things: Duck Egg Blues

1. Skinny laMinx Cushion, 2. Flying Birds, 3. Astley Clarke Enamel Ring, 4. Pantone 337 Mug, 5. Harpergrace Prints, 6. Feather Serving Tray

My favourite colour at the moment is duck egg blue! It's such a cute colour and reminds me of vintage and shabby chic style too. I think it's serene and helps me to relax (that's why my bedroom is painted this colour).

I love the enamel ring by Astley Clarke (in fact, I love all of his jewellery). It's so stylish and something a bit different to a plain gold band. Also, you can create your very own ring stack and customise it to however you like. This is on my wish list.

Not forgetting the feather tray by Ary Trays who handcraft trays using birch wood. I think the feathers are beautiful in their own right and the illustration featured on the tray really make it a great piece. It's literally following the duck egg theme.

So, what do you think? Do you have a favourite piece from the goodies I found?

Favourite Finds: Earrings

Today I've been on the hunt for some more earrings! I love earrings, they're my favourite type of jewellery and there are so many quirky designs out there. Here are some of the best ones I came across:

1. Motif Stud Earring Pack, 2. Lady Bird Flower Earrings, 3. Female Robot Drop Earrings, 4. Percy Peacock Feather Owl Short Drop Earrings, 5. Crystal Shoe Drop Earrings, 6. Cherub Swing Earrings

I love the Cherub Swing Earrings by Bill Skinner he designs some amazing jewellery. I would definitely look at more of his products if you like the earrings I featured in this post.

You can probably tell I'm a fan of drop earrings! I think they're flattering and make a bold statement (depending on how unusual or big they are). Although, if you're going to chose eye catching earrings, I'd stick to less hair accessories or a smaller necklace. Last time I wore big earrings with a big necklace, my sister wouldn't stop calling me 'bling bling'... and let me tell you it was only funny the first time!

Let me know what you think! Which are your favourites?

Kitty Flats and Knockoffs!

I'm sure we're all aware of Charlotte Olympia's gorgeous shoes! I'm especially in love with her kitty flats. I'd love to have a pair, but at £465 a pair... It's a bit out of my price range! That's why I've been on the lookout for alternatives!

£495? I best save up my pennies up.

Clockwise - 1. Brave Store, 2. Chic Wish, 3. ModCloth, 4. Topshop.

I think that 2. is the best match! These are $42.42, so not very expensive either. The only problem I am having is finding shoes in my size. I'm a UK size 8 in shoes so that's quite big (but not uncommon). Let me know if you know anywhere else which has kitty shoes in my size!

What do you think of this cat fad? Which are your favourite shoes featured? Finally, do you know any other knock-off kitty flats which are as good as these?

Just leave me a comment below! ♥

Refreshing My Room with Laura Ashley

Hi everyone! How have you been?

The Quarter-Life Tales of Annie Beans is hosting an amazing giveaway! You could win £1000 to refresh your room, thanks to Laura Ashley. My room definitely needs a refresh! I've got a lot of furniture which has been passed down to me, but I am trying to make it my own (it's a bit embarrassing really)...

As you can see, it's a bit of a muddle at the moment. I've got my special money saving jar which I received from my boyfriend. That's my favourite piece in my room. If I was lucky enough to get the chance to refresh my room, I'd love these items:

Clockwise: Alberton Upholstered Chair, Alice Bed & Open Coil Mattress, Ceramic Roses Ringholder, Bramley Dressing Table Set and the Bramley 2 Door Wardrobe.

I love anything which is shabby chic or quaint (like a lot of Laura Ashley's furniture) and think it always looks beautiful and romantic. My dream bed room would be cream, floral and stylish because I think it's so relaxing which is important for the place you sleep.

Alberton Upholstered Chair I always think that a good arm chair in the bedroom can look so trendy! I'd place it near my window so I can sit near the sunlight and read one of my favourite books.

Alice Bed & Open Coil Mattress I am desperate for a bed with headboard and footboard! I love the metal bed frame and it'd go perfectly with my pretty and elegant wallpaper. This would definitely help me with having a good night's sleep.

Ceramic Roses Ringholder This is very cute. I love the roses at the base of it (I'm a sucker for anything floral). I have a lot of rings and need somewhere to put them.

Bramley Dressing Table Set  I've always longed for a dressing table set, from when I was a little girl. It's a vital piece of furniture I'm missing from my room.

Bramley 2 Door Wardrobe I'd have to get this and the Bramley Dressing Table Set because they match. As I said before, I love shabby chic and this would be great to hang all my demure dresses.

Do you like the items I selected? There's loads of wonderful items at Laura Ashley so go and take a look. If you'd like to have a go at this giveaway, take a look at Annie Bean's blog.
