    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.

    Phew well it’s been a busy two weeks! First of all…turning 21. Yep that happened. Birthdays are weird things, especially big ticket age like 21 years old, you kinda expect to change overnight but nope. I’m still the same ol’ nerdy little me ^_^ This was only reinforced by my present haul of nerdy Harry Potter, Musical Theatre and Literature gifts from my family and best friend. I had a chill one, which you can read about from my birthday post from the other day. 
    Apart from the excitement (?) of now really being ‘in my 20’s’ I’ve been taking my blog up to next level with Blog Inc (which I’m very tempted to review soon, it’s so good) and…*drum roll* a brand new camera! I bought a new Olympus D-750. It’s a compact but from what I’ve played around with so far, it’s pretty decent for someone like me who’s a hobbyist blogger. A new camera hopefully means more photography because…let’s face it, it’s my new play thing and I love it. 
    I know I’ve been saying the past few weeks that I’m updating and trying out new content and graphics blah blah blah…but really now I’m rolling it out starting with these posts. This weeks are turning into two week posts and means I now have an extra blogging spot to write about other things! Hopefully I can keep this. Keep an eye out for other new/improved bits and pieces in the coming weeks =)

  • Curiouser and Curiouser | Alice In Wonderland Postcard Prints

    Thought I’d share a recent purchase of mine. I got these pretty A6 postcard prints from Southsea Gallery‘s stall at the Love Southsea Gift Market in Gunwharf Quays. Couldn’t resist the Alice in Wonderland theme illustrations and they were only 3 for £6, so I picked up my three favourite characters from the book [The White Rabbit, The Caterpillar and Alice herself].
