Something a little different. If there’s one thing that always catches my eye when scrolling through Pinterest now that we’re in Summer it’s colourful interior design. I can’t do much still living at home with the ‘rents but my bedroom could do with an upgrade and the addition of some bright and comfy cushions would definitely do the trick.
I’ve scouted through the online shops and found some of my favourites below. Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters are always good stops for clothing but their Home ranges are great too. But I’m also leaning towards the bold, two colour, geometric prints of my Etsy finds too.

Hi all, hope you’re enjoying the sunshine – or cursing at the rain from what I’ve seen on the weather reports, sorry North of England!
I had a good week of work since I last wrote and spent most of it relaxing and having a good catch up with some friends. A couple of old college friends are now back for good from University and we had a nice girly gossip over cocktails and Caribbean food at Turtle Bay – which is an awesome restaurant if anyone looking for a nice place to try in Southampton. I’ve definitely missed these girls since being on placement and hopefully I can see them more now that most of them are home! Also, as you saw from my last post I also caught up with an old friend and got my hair done at the same time. I’m still getting used to the shorter crop, but the extra weight off my head has been very much welcome with the humid temperatures at the moment.
As always I had plenty of opportunity to get back into my musical theatre obsession after watching Cats at the Mayflower. Seriously watching a show like that makes me want to go home, start dance classes and do layouts all day…none of which I did because, let’s face it, I can’t dance too well anymore lol.
Another obession-y tick that’s been playing in my mind has been LeakyCon. Their Portland Convention was held this past weekend – I believe it’s just wrapping up now – which means all focus will be shifting to the London Convention, which I’m headed to, in exactly 39 days. Let’s just say if the Portland festivities are anything to go by, London is sure gonna be awesome! And finishing Harry: A History recently has done nothing but fuel the excitement for me :)

I got a haircut. Yep. The lion’s mane of unmanageable, self cut hair has been lobbed off – at least for the Summer. My lovely friend Jess’ mum’s a hairdresser with a salon in their house, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone, catch up with her and and get ‘ma’ hair did’.
It’s funny how much a chop rewire your hair routine and the way I style it. I’m currently taking cues from Dianna Agron‘s Glee Season 3 do’ and Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club at the moment, but I’ve been scrolling through Pinterest for more inspiration.
I’ve also now been told that my hair isn’t as thick as I thought, in fact it’s actually quite fine and there’s just lots of it! So as well and styling advice, I’m searching around for new hair products to keep it healthy – especially as I use so much heat on it. Any suggestions??
