Home is where the heart is...

These are some of my favourite presents from this Christmas! Desperately wanting to make my new place feel homely and comforting I had asked for Homesense vouchers. Homesense don't have that many stores and not everyone has heard of them but they are owned by TKMaxx and their products are truely beautiful. I have my eye on a large mirror for £200 but that will take quite a bit of saving! 

The cream cabinet below was purchased with my vouchers and I am still unsure of what will go inside but it was just too cute to miss. The little JOY hanging decoration was a little stocking filler from my Grandparents, they thought this was sweet because I work for JOY! The mugs were from a set my boyfriend bought me for Christmas, they are tooo cute with little strawberries around the edge. 
Cream Heart Cabinet - Homesense £24.99
Strawberry Mug - BHS £2.50            


I have wanted a birds cage for about 6 months now but could never justify buying one so now was my opportunity, again another Homesense purchase! The Home decoration was bought by my parents which is just soo lovely, I think this was from BHS too. The mirror below was another present from my boyfriend, again another BHS treasure.  
Birdcage - Homesense £9.99
Strawberry plate - BHS £3.00


Another purchase from Homesense was a throw and a duvet cover from the V&A. The cover was a bargain and the throw matches perfectly. 
Duvet Cover - Homesense £16.99
Pink Throw - Homesense £14.99

Fairytale of New York

Happy Christmas Eve! I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas! This was taken just outside my house as my mum refused to leave the house. I've been trying to wear as much red and christmas inspired outfits as I possibly can this week to try and get into the Festive Spirit! I have made a Christmas playlist on itunes that is keeping me company today while I work from home. My top five favourite songs are;

1. Leona Naess - Christmas 
2. Death Cab for Cutie - Christmas (please come home) 
3. Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas 
4. Kevin Devine - Splitting up Christmas 
5. The Eals - Christmas is going to the dogs

A snow faced girl

I was a bit too excited when the light snow started to turn into more of a blizzard. It was sooo freezing cold outside and the snow was too wet to stay outside and take photos. It was much nicer inside with a cup of tea, warmth and slippers :) I have been stuck in my house for almost 3 days with my drive being a slight hill and edging onto a main road it wasn't safe to leave. I went back to work today ...  Freedom :)
