PRETTY YOUNG THING

It's getting so chilly right here in the UK so I thought i'd put together some tips on how to make your bedroom cosy. There's some really easy ways you can create a warm, cosy space so i'm going to share a few right now with you.

It's starting to get darker quicker so get yourself some fairy lights, I got mine from Primark and hang them on your bed or around your dressing table or window. This just adds a little bit of light for those dark evenings when you don't really want to switch your big light or lamp on. Fairy lights make a room so cute and cosy. I also light some candles, you can get some really amazing scents in the run up to Christmas like this Christmas candle by Neom, light these around the room again for a warm, cosy feel. I like to make myself a big mug of hot chocolate with cream and marshmellows and snuggle up in my bed and read a good book for a cosy evening in. Isn't this penguin mug from Primark so cute! Invest in your bed and mattress . By getting yourself a decent bed and mattress you will get a much better sleep. There's so many different types of Mattress to choose from, from Pocket Sprung to Memory Foam so it's worth doing your research and finding the perfect one for you. Sticking with beds, I tend to stock up on a few throws, when it gets cold its nice to have a throw at the bottom of the bed to keep your feet warm. This tartan print one from M&S is gorgeous and looks really nice and snug, perfect for the winter season. I picked up a few Christmas/ Wintery cushions last year so i'll be getting these out and popping them onto the bed again. This Follow your dreams one from Dunelm is so cute!

These are just a few little tips on how to make your room warm, snug and cosy for the winter. I hope you like them, how do you make your room cosy?

We have been living in our flat for a couple of months now and I did a flat tour when we first moved in. We've recently brought a few bits and pieces to accessorize the flat and really make it our own. I'm so happy with it right now and love the little touches we've added. Our landlord came round last weekend and she seemed really happy and impressed with what we've done.

I thought i'd show you some of my favourite bits of the flat and some of my favourite accessories.
This top image is my bedside table in our bedroom, I love the bed frame, it's from Ikea. I wanted this bed for ages. I got this lamp from B&Q, I love the colour it's so bright and looks perfect in our bedroom. It a bargain at £20! I'm reading Girl Online On Tour right now so that's next to my bed.
I picked up this bedding from Primark recently which I absolutely love!! I recently got a new duvet because my old one was to small for our new bed. I can't believe how much difference a nice new duvet made to our bed and our bedroom, it looks so much better. The Duvet Store have a huge range of duvets. They stock so many different sizes, even emperor sizes. They also have different togs and comforts and a huge selection to choose from whether your after Anti Allergy or Coolmax technology.

Myself and Clint moved into our very own flat just over a week ago! We've unpacked and were all settled in so I thought i'd share a little flat tour with you. I haven't gone into massive detail but just thought i'd share some of my favourite areas and favourite bits and pieces with you.


The kitchen - our kitchen is small but it's perfect for me and Clint. There's a good amount of space and plenty of cupboard storage. I thought i'd share my gorgeous tea caddies from Next, you can write whatever you like on them using the chalk! I love them and I love my rose gold/ copper kettle and toaster which are also from Next.



This unit is from Ikea. The lamp is from Homesense, the frame is Umbra from Red Candy , the basket is from Tiger and the candles inside H&M Home


My Bathroom- We actually have this main bathroom and an En suite. I love the flooring, this is in the En suite also. I like the little bits of blue/ mint i've added. I haven't had a bath yet but will nip into Lush this week to get myself some Christmas goodies and have a nice relaxing bath. The wooden thing across the bath is from Ikea, i'm gonna bring a cuppa tea in the bath and maybe bring my ipad in and watch youtube videos.



The Bedroom. I got this gorgeous bed from Ikea, it was only £80 and it's so sturdy and such a great bed. We also got our Mattress from Ikea. I got a new dressing table which is also from Ikea but I bought it off Gumtree. My bedding is from Asda. I really need a new duvet as mine isn't big enough, my old bed was smaller than a double. My lights on my bed are also from ikea.





* this blog post does contain some pr samples, the above blog post is my own honest opinions and thoughts.

I've recently swapped bedrooms, my sister has moved out and she had a bigger room and bed so I decided to swap. Since swapping rooms I haven't made any changes to the carpet, wallpaper or curtains however i've managed to completely change the look of the room. I have brought my white furniture with me which made the room look better straight away. I bought a little white unit from Ikea which is amazing, it has space for cute bits and pieces but it also has practical space for foldaway storage boxes. I tend to pop junk in these. On my brand new unit as you can see above i've gone a little crazy with cute, shabby chic items. I love my photo frames these are one of my favorite things, both have photos of Clint and myself in. I love my little white jug (and dead rose) I got the jug from tesco for £2! The glass bottle and cream jewellery holder were both from the 99p shop. I was gifted this gorgeous Lead Crystal Tealight* from Museum Selection which I love. I think it fits in really well and looks fab on my unit. I can actually fit my little Neom Candle inside which I loveeee! It looks fab when you light the candles aswell as the light reflects of the Crystal. I got the mint jewellery tray from a carboot for like 30p and Its perfect for popping my rings and watch when I take them off at night. I love my wire heart which I put some ikea fairy lights inside. I could probably use it for storing more practical items but I love how cute it is with lights inside. Finally, my poster*! I love my poster which I was sent from StressFreePrint.co.uk and I will be reviewing this soon. 

I love my room, it's very shabby chic and cute. I have two rooms now my sister has moved out so this is like my dressing room where I get ready etc and then I just sleep in my other room ( it has a double bed)

I share pictures of my room reguarly on instagram and they are always popular so I thought it would be quite nice to see what my blog readers think.

I love Cath Kidston and there's alot of floral patterns around my room. I love my bedding from Ikea
and my white shabby chic furniture.
