Home Sweet Home

My new french apartment! It took months of blood, sweat, tears and paperwork but me and my housemate found ourselves in our dream apartment for our year in France. It is spacious, clean and cheap so we really cannot complain! 

With a new year comes a new bedroom to move in to. This is the part where I say a big thankyou to my housemate as we only had one double room and one single; so after flipping a coin I got the double (Thanks Hy <3 ).

It is very basic and simple but I love it now I have my little personal touches in it - Can't go wrong with some bunting and photos :)

Although it was a long and hard process finding an apartment in France it has all been so worth it now that we are here and settled. I couldn't ask for much more really!

More regular posts will be coming soon bear with me :)

Home for the year

Hellooo!

So I have now returned to uni (yaaay!) and moved into a house. I have finally got my room kinda in order so I thought I'd do a little post on it and a few things I have done!

I have one of the smaller rooms in the house which I was sort of sad about to start with but now I loveee it and also I swear it is warmer than the larger rooms in the house :) Our house is cheap and cheerful so it's no palace but its 'charming' in its own little way (in spite of the constant mess and various broken appliances we are slowly discovering - but that's what being a student is all about, right?).

This is sort of my room as you walk in, you can see the foot of my bed and window. The drawers/'dressing table' is new from Ikea as I needed some drawers that would fit into the awkward cubby-hole! So we got this chest of drawers which I looove and the smaller drawers are so handy for make-up storage. Bedding is also from Ikea.

This is my window where I have little nic-nacs like my rings in a little dish and perfumes. The little owl pot is the newest addition from New Look!

Not much to say here - my desk and laptop. Probably a place I will procrastinate to no end.

And on this wall I stuck on the wall stickers I got in Korea, I really like how it turned out :) And again, the mirror is of course from Ikea and the bedding also (it was £12 so I thought it would be kinda bad quality but its actually really nice).

And thats about it realllly! Not much else to say apart from that I have shopped waay too much already since ive been here considering I have yet to succeed in finding a job. Maybe i'll do a post on a few things I have bought sooooon.

Thanks for reading :)

Recent Purchases

If you like a good bargain, you have come to the right blog as I am definitely a very indecisive person which results in me usually shopping in Primark over Topshop in favour of guilt-free shopping!

I am soon to be beginning my second year at University and so moving into a student house and my bedroom is far from glamorous. So I am slowly collecting little bits and bobs for my new room in hope to 'spruse' it up a little!

Amazon - Roughly £5

I have been looking for a nice necklace holder/jewellery holder for SO long now as the tangles were just getting too much for me. I never think to look for stuff like this on amazon but I found this little gem which is cheap, cheerful and pretty. 

E-Mart in Korea - Roughly £7

I bought these whilst on holiday and they are wall stickers which form a tree and bird-cage on your wall. I have wanted some for ages and thought these would easily add a little character to my new uni room. I know you probably won't be able to fly to Korea and grab a roll of these but I'm pretty sure if you search the internet they won't be hard to find!

That's all the decorative stuff for now but i'll keep you updated on other bits and bobs I find :) Below are a few bits I bought when shopping the other day...

Miss Selfridge - £3

Primark - £16

Bargain of the day - Primark - £1

And as one final random purchase, me and my friend both got our ear pierced as we have both sai we would do it for aaages but never got round to doing it. Finally did today though! Successful shopping trip i'd say :)

Hope you are having a lovely day,
