The Corn Exchange

Whilst I've been in Leeds, I have visited the Corn Exchange! The Corn Exchange is an architectural beauty in the city centre. It was built in the 1860s and was funnily enough, where they exchanged corn.

Nowadays, the Corn Exchange is the home of lots of cute little boutiques and quirky shops.

My first buy was this beautiful dream catcher. I hope it stops all my nightmares! I have been wanting a dream catcher for a while now, but I hadn't come across the right one until I saw this one. I love the colours and all the little beads. A great addition to my room!

This decoration was a bit more difficult to get a decent picture of! It's a long jingley ornament. I am not sure what it is called! Basically, there are lots of embellished hearts and beads on a string. At the bottom is a bell and it jingles when ever I walk past it. I just loved the ethnic look of it.

We went to a vintage boutique too and I bought some jewellery. I love the pocket watch necklace, it actually works too which is a bonus. There are also these cute daisy earrings which are so kitsch.

Have you ever been to the Corn Exchange or is there anywhere else in Leeds you can recommend?
Hope you liked this post!

Paperchase Haul

Recently I made a big purchase of Paperchase stationery. I love Paperchase, their stationery is always stylish and I love using their notebooks and pencil cases (perfect for college). I'll be going to university in September so I've started to stock up on everything I'll need. Here are pictures of what I bought:

I bought the Lino Floral Triple Pencil Case (no longer on the Paperchase site), Duck Push Pins, Bird Canvas Mid Year Organiser, Helen Dardik Sticky Notes (no longer on the Paperchase site), Pink Flower Masking Tape, Red Dot Masking Tape (no longer on the Paperchase site) and the 5 Subject Project Notebook.

Oh and I have filled my pencil case with the Triangle Eraser, Diamond Gel Pen and just some plain gel pens too.

One of my favourite purchases is the Bird Canvas Mid Year Organiser. I've been looking for an organiser for ages! This one has inserts for July 2013 to December 2014 so it'll last me for a good 18 months. I could even decide to buy more inserts after December 2014 because it is refillable.

It is really sturdy and feels durable. I have no worries about throwing this into my bag when I'm on the go! The design is beautiful and I love the colours (I'm a fan of anything pink). It's floral, feminine and full of organiser inserts. There are inserts for your timetable, a full year planner, addresses and notes. The diary inserts are one week per two pages.

I love the illustrative birds!

As you can see from the inside, there are 5 slots to hold your cards and their is a pocket at the back to hold loose pieces of paper or whatever else you may find useful. The dividers say: information, agenda, planner, diary, addresses and notes. I can't wait to write all my important dates in it.

You can purchase the organiser here.

So what do you think? Are you a fan of Paperchase? What's your favourite item?
