Ikea Furniture and Storage Dupes

My ultimate dream bedroom would be made up of the beautiful white furniture that Ikea stock, many a times I have spent ogling the furniture on the website and just wishing I had the money to completely re-do my room and fill it with the beautiful items from Ikea! 

However having done some research I discovered that there are a few other places in the UK that stock very similar furniture and storage systems, just like Ikea stock, including places such as Argos, Wilkinsons and Homebase! Here are the items I discovered!

Halloween 2014

My best friend - http://thesecreationsbybeth.blogspot.co.uk/ and I decided to dress up as Disney Villains this year and we had a great time! I really enjoyed finding my outfit and looking up make-up ideas for the Queen of Hearts. Here are some of our photos from the night!

    

 The quality isn't all that great as these are only iPhone photos! Hope you all had a great Halloween :)

My Perfume Collection

Since a young age I've been harbouring an obession with perfume. I think I was about 14 when I purchased my first one and I believe it was Britney Spears' perfume Fantasy. The on that was in the pink bottle with jewels around the lid that everyone was obsessed with at that time. I felt so happy and excited after buying my first perfume, and since then I still get the same feeling whenever I purchase one now!

I do have a few of my favourites in my collection, and others are more every day, and cheaper perfumes that I love the smell of. I won't attempt to describe the smells but I thought I'd share my favourites with any fellow perfume addicts! I'll start with my top 3. 

'Si' Georgio Armani

    My favourite!

                   'Princess' Vera Wang

'Gucci Guilty' Gucci

The rest are in no particular order but I would definitely repurchase them in the future.

 'Suddenly' Madam Glamour

Dupe for Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, and super cheap! I found this in Lidl's believe it or not! 

 'Our Moment'  One Direction

This perfume actually smells beautiful. I always get compliments when I wear it and it lasts longer than some of the more expensive perfumes!

    'Lovestruck' Vera Wang

'Lovestruck Floral' Vera Wang

                                                                                        'Malaia' Hollister

   If you like Hollister than this is a must.

                                                                       'Soft and Dreamy' Pink, Victoria's Secret 

                                                                                        'Woman' Versace

'Couture' Juicy Couture

  'Heat Rush' Beyonce

              'Heat' Beyonce              

 'Zero Plus Feminine' Diesel

I'd love to see your collection!

Outfit Post

Just a quick outfit post from one of my nights out this week for freshers. Which I like to call 'Refreshers' as I'm about to start my second year of University. 

The top is a crop top from Topshop 

The skirt I bought a while back in the Topshop sale.

The gold and black belt I bought on Ebay.

The heels are from New Look. 

Finally- my first ever outfit post! You will have to excuse the boring background as my room is in the middle of being decorated (hence the ever so attractive carpet undelray flooring!), but this outfit was too cute for me not to blog!

One of my friends got married this weekend, and having owned this item for a fair while now and not worn it yet, I felt this was the perfect opportunity for me to wear it to the evening reception. 

The jumpsuit had been a favourite of mine on the Missguided website for quite some time before I finally purchased it, and it has to be one of my favourite purchases of the year. I got so many compliments on it, as the colour is so vibrant and pretty. It fits perfectly and I couldn't be more happier with it. I also teamed the jumpsuit with my favourite pair of heels from New Look.

Recently I received this lovely item from velvet sky designs. I have nothing but positive words for this adorable jewellery collection!

                                      

All pieces are beautifully hand made and are super reasonably priced! Since my item arrived I have worn it with pretty much every outfit, and it looks super cute on. 

Please follow velvetskydesigns on Instagram and check out the lovely pieces of jewellery. 

Here is my choker styled with some other pieces of jewellery from my collection.  

I hope you go and check out the jewellery, you're collection will definitely be missing out without one of the adorable items, and the delivery time was so quick so you won't have to wait long!
