I'm Over You, Get Under Me | Style

Coat- Boohoo

Fur Stole- eBay

Smock dress- New Look

Rose Gold Loafers- New Look

Bag- Matalan (similar here)

Necklace- Accessorize

Last week I went to visit my blogging vlogging pals Pippa from Clashing Time  and Cara from Polly Pocket Beauty who have recently moved in together in London. We'd arranged to take some outfit shots in their area and who knew that the location they had in mind would match perfectly with the outfift I had chosen!?

I know typical AW colours are burgundy, mustard, khakis etc but I am still feeling pink so much right now. It's become a bit of an unhealthy obsession; that and rose gold (every bloggers weakeness!) The fur stole adds to the cosy winter feel as well as the wool coat which is in the sale on Boohoo at the mo.

My bag is a little Matalan number and everyone always says how lovely it is. I love the colour but I have to say the quality is not there as after only a few months the faux leather straps are starting to break *sob*.

I'm also obsessed with smocks at the moment. I wore my gingham one all through summer and now I'm all about layering them with thick tights and leggings to see me through the winter. This pink number is in the sale on the New Look website and flatters a curvier figure like mine; skimming over the tummy area hurrah!

Pippa took these photos and I have to say she's done a fabulous job, even if we did get told to "get away!" by the old lady whose house it was. Whoops! 

And on that note I'm off. I hope you're enjoying the outfit posts of late. I've got some upcycling. DIY home projects coming veeeery very soon. I'm just waiting to finish them so stay tuned!

Are you back to the dark colours for AW17 or are you braving a bright colour?

Homeware Haul: Anthropologie, Amazon and more!

Camera ornament- Wilkos

I''ve never done a homeware haul before but I moved into our new pace and buying bits to decorate and style our home has been so much fun! (Well for me anyway!)

When it comes to bedding, its always a struggle to find something you and your man will both like. I'd LOVE florals but of cours that's too girly for him but we managed to settle with this aztec geometric style print from Bedeck. The quality is amazing and the sheets feel incredibly soft. The lime shades realy cut through the dark furniture we have, giving space and a brighter feel.

Bedding- Bedeck

Cushions (grey)- Tesco

Mr Fox Pillow- Bedeck

When I realised Bedeck the Mr Fox Pillow I got seriously excited! I love the fun design and it adds character. The pixelated pillows are from Tesco and again are great quality, feeling super soft and snuggly. I originally bought these for another room but they don't fit with my scheme but conveniently they look great with this bedding.

Candle- Anthropologie

Onto Anthropologie...May I just say this shop is my heaven! I first discovered one in  America and oh my! I love the style of their homeware and fell in love with EVERYTHING! I picked up this candle and coaster from their online store in the sale for an absolute bargain! I think they match perfectly with the style of the bedding and are a subtle way to carry on the theme we are going with.

Coaster- Anthropologie

Mugs- Anthropologie

I also picked up these darling mugs from Anthropologie, this time in the store in Aerica. They are so pretty that I've actually decided to keep them as decorative mugs in our kitchen, Is that weird!?

Kettle- Russell Hobbs

Toaster- Russell Hobbs

Speaking of kitchens, these are the kettle and toaster we picked out. They're a modern take on a country style which is just what we were going for. I love how sturdy Russell Hobbs appliances are and the array of colours but the neutral creams best fit our country vision. 

Tea, coffee & sugar tins- Amazon

Sticking with our country vision we also got these tea, coffee and sugar tins and a matching bread bin again in cream to match in a country style also.

Bread Bin- Amazon

Coffee Machine- Amazon

We also picked up this coffee machine as I'm a dab hand at making good coffee- particularly lattes. IF however you're a novis fear not, ths machine is easy to use and comes with great instructions. It's the perfect appliance for any coffee fiends and for impressing guests with a decent cup of coffee. The milk frother is great for a frothy coffee or a hot chocolate!

So that's pretty much everything we have bought for the house except a few little bits which are just in the video, so if you want to see more click below!

Our little home is slowly coming together, we just need a few photos and pictures up really but finding little gems like we have really does help to make it feel personal.

Where do you like to shop for homeware?

Get Ready With Me | Winter Roses

I've been meaning to do an outfit post on this dress for quite some time. It's actually a spaghetti strap dress and kinda halter neck but as the days are getting windier (is that a word?) and cooler here in Cyprus, I decided to pop a tee underneath.

Dress- ASOS

Shoes- eBay

Tee- Tesco 

Bracelets- home made & present

I'm having a really good hair day today for a change as I've finally had the brain wave to turn the heat setting down on my Remington pearl wand. As much as I love the curly glam look I do prefer relaxed waves so have asked for the enrapture totem styler for Christmas/ Birthday. Fingers crossed I get one ^_^. Anyway back to the outfit. I love swing dresses at the moment. They're so easy to wear and great for days when I'm feeling a bit bloated or just want to hide. Is that a thing or is it just me? The rose print isn't overly summery or wintry so its great for all seasons especially with it being so easy to layer. The boots were a bit of an impulse buy before I left the UK. I didn't have any black flat boots I could wear with bare legs so went for these bad boys. I love studs, adding to the grungy rock vibe I try to go for.

So that's my outfit! I've also done a "Get ready with me" video showing you how I did my fro and face as well as showing you my outfit. If you want to check out the video click below!

It's nearly Friiiiday, yippee!
