  • Homeware obsession | Guest post by Laura

    Hello lovely Wishing for Channel readers, I am Laura and I am a regular poster from Blogger’s Bookshelf.  The lovely Ria has asked me to guest post whilst she is off exploring the world a little bit at a time. ( I am so jealous!) Anyway as I have recently just bought my own home, I am down to only having about 5 boxes left to unpack and the dust sheets are up and the paint brushes are away – I thought I would show you a little slice of my new home. 
    The first picture is the main wall in our bedroom, I saw this on pinterest (I do enjoying spending my evenings pinning!) and HAD to do this somewhere in my home. Luckily the boyfriend is a designer so he agreed and a whole day of sticking tape and painting later and we had our feature wall.  Then it was time to decorate the study in the only way we knew how… cover a wall in comics obviously. This is just a picture of a small part, but it goes across the whole of one wall. 
    Here are some of my favourite finishing touches, I love prints, I shall definitely be embarking on a gallery wall at some point, but for now some comic book art. Then of course candles, because candles are my favourite! I seem to buy a new candle in every shop I visit!
    Anyway that’s enough about my new home, what are your favourite home where pieces at the moment?
    Thank Ria for letting me guest post!

  • Nail art dots | Guest Post by Laura

    Hello Wishing For Chanel readers, I’m Laura and I’m so pleased to be guest posting for Ria this week! I quit my blog last year but get that blogging bite every now and then so this is perfect to tame that craving for a while. 

    I decided to do a nail art post as now it’s the summer holidays I get to paint my nails and have time to change the designs every day if I want to (I don’t but that’s beside the point). So I thought I’d share with you a nice easy designs which didn’t take very long and actually lasted for a whole week before it started chipping. (That included a week of spring summer cleaning my entire flat!) 


    Barry M – Torquoise 295
    Models own – nail art pen – white 
    Sally Hansen – Hard as nails (used a top and base coat)

    I adore this Barry M polish, I only got it last week because Superdrug were doing a 3 for 2 offer so how could I resist? The colour is really summer and even though I’ve just taken this design off I’m tempted to repaint them the same colour again. 

    I hope you liked this post, you can find my over at Blogger bookshelf as a regular reviewer or on twitter if you want to read more of my ramblings.

    Thanks again Ria for asking me to guest post!
