BIG BOLD FLORAL !

 

One of my favorite types of pattern for upholstery, wall paper, curtains, etc is a big bold bright floral pattern ! this can be added to a room in a small way using cushions or a new duvet set or in a more permanent way buy investing in a beautifully made pair of curtains or some stunning wall paper.This season is especially good for finding big bold and bright floral prints as they lend themselves so well to summer and spring and add that bright summer feeling to your room !

These are a few examples of interiors that have used bold floral designs to their advantage.

These are some examples or amazing wall paper from designer guild :

Interior Design Style: Part 3, "And it was all yellow"!

Yellow in interior design

Part three of my interior design style is going to be talking about using yellow in interior design ! Recently yellow has made a bit of a come back in the interior design world and has become quite trendy but i find people are still a bit weary about breaking out of the magnolia and beige and start injecting some colour into their lives !

 I'm going to show some examples of easy ways to brighten up your home using yellow !

 

 The first way would be to go all out buy a yellow sofa and really make an impact in the space, this would work well if your space is a blank canvas it would become the focal piece in the room, and could bring some life back to a plain space this could work well if your renting and cant paint !

 

 Another way would be to add a pop of colour in a slightly less costly way would be to paint something you already have, this is something you could easily do  and could look as effective as this amazing shelving unit !

This last way is a really easy way to change up a kitchen these industrial stools bring personality and colour into a very modern and cold space these are easily found with a quick google search and come in a range of colours as well !

I think yellow is an amazing colour to bring some light and personality to any space, all of these images can be found on my pintrest along with a full board of inspirational images of yellow decor ! 

Febuarys My Little Box !!

Hello ! This post is going to be about This months Box from the subscription box service My Little Box this months theme was, a my little Frenchie box !  this theme is in relation to the boxes origins being french, and has been inspired by the french icon Ines de La Fressange who was a super model in the 80's and inspired designers such as Karl Lagerfed.

Ps. just to let you know this months Box was really a standout box !!

The first item out of the box this month was this months bag of beauty products ! This months box contained four full size beauty products which is amazing to see and they are also all really useful products ! 

Complexion Enhancer - Glowing Skin - £9.50

This is a skin enhancer and has Apricot Kernel oil in, which they say will bring your skin back to life I think this is going to be a great product to use in the mornings when i just need something to brighten up my skin before work 

Terrybly Khol Pencil - £23 - Terry

This Khol Pencil is very soft and an amazing black with gold glitter running through it! What is really special about the Khol Pencil by Terry is that is is waterproof ! Which living in Wales is something quite handy really !  

DHC Blotting Paper - £4.00 for 100 sheets

This is another full size product from My Little Box this month, these are produced by Japans No 1 direct skincare company DHC and are basically just a blotting paper which is nice and I will be able to use these on a daily basis as they are easy to throw in a bag and also affordable enough to be able to purchase again ! 

Super Liner Brow Artists Plumper By L'Oreal Paris - £5.99

I was actually really excited to see this in the box even though this is by L'Oreal and i could easily go out and buy, this is something iv been looking to purchase for a while now as i feel i have some what wild eyebrows and i am hoping this will tame them ! 

The second item out of this months box was this months Lifestyle item !

Pot of messages - £6.50

this is such a cute little touch and is full of useful tips and quotes there are 28 so one for every day this month ! 

The next item was this months fashion item 

 Smartphone in PU and canvas - £16

This was a really exciting item in the box, it is a beautifully made phone case by My little box, it is such lovely item and it fits my iphone 5c really well, also the ribbon pull is a really nice touch !

I think this months box is my personal favorite out of the past three months it was a really lovely selection of items and as always a really nice range as well !  

Thank you all again for reading i have tried a slightly different format for this review today  hopefully you guys like it all the same !

Decembers My Little Box

Yesterday some exciting things came in the post !

  I received two boxes from My Little Box .The first one was December's and the second was January's. 

Today I am going to do a small review on the December box.

The first thing I noticed about the My Little Box was how cute the outside of the box was and how much detail had been put into it. Decembers box was a collaboration between My Little Box and Fleur De Force, who as it happens is one of my favourite Youtube personalities so this had given me high hopes for the box from the outset

 

 

  

When I had opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by what I was presented with. It was all beautifully packaged and it really looks like a lot of effort has gone into the design and presentation which I was impressed with.

I also liked how the beauty items were all collected together in a cute little bag!

Included in the bag was;

1.My Little Beauty lipstick, Shade: Rouge a Levre Plumetis,£15

2.Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion 100ml, £18 

3.L'Occitane's Creme Precieuse Immortelle 50ml, £45

  

As well as the beauty items, a selection of items for wrapping presents were included.

 I thought this was a really nice touch and was pleased that they could be used all year round and only a few of the tags and masking tape were Christmas themed

Finally, in the box was a really cute black and gold knitted head band which really feels like a high quality piece.

Overall, I feel the box was full of well thought-out items, I also really like the mix of fashion, lifestyle and beauty! 

  I really felt that the box was worth more than the £11 a month plus £3.95 postage that you would pay for it,This would be my first subscription box and I did do quite a bit of research before subscribing to My Little Box and I feel it is the subscription box that you get a little bit for your money!

I would definitely recommend this to my friends, family and you guys !
