A quick sorry!

Hello :)

It's Leah here. I just want to quickly apologise for the lack of posts. Basically, when myself and Melissa set up this blog we hadn't been given placements by our university and so had a lot of spare time on our hands. Since then, we have both got placements and we are now busy 8-5 Monday-Friday and we then have to work through the evening.

Because of this we have had no time to update our blog. We both have a week off now and so I will try and get some more posts up this week and then hopefully by Easter we will be able to update again.

I've been messing around with the blog template/layout a bit and I just can't find something I'm happy with, so ignore the mess of the blog for now. Any suggestions would be welcome :)

Thank you for being understanding :)xx

Ikea!

Hey guys,

I wanted to start by quickly saying sorry for the lack of blog posts, I plan to do a post after this one that will explain in more detail!

So back to the main focus, Ikea! Last night, me and my mum decided to take an impromptu trip to Ikea (we always go in the evening because it's a lot quieter). I'm a little short on money so I didn't go overboard, but I bought a few bits and bobs and thought I would show you.

I am currently living at home and not at uni, meaning I am back in my bedroom. For some reason, about 5 or 6 years ago I decided to paint my room bright blue and green. It looks completely ridiculous and looking back on it I completely regret it. Because I have a few spare days, I have decided to clear it out and paint the green walls a more neutral colour, to stop it looking so silly. To help me with this, I treated myself to a few decorative items from Ikea!

 The first two things I bought were this gorgeous candle holder/plate and ball candle. I must admit I have wanted a ball candle for a while and so finding this plate which fits it so beautifully made me so happy! I'm not 100% sure of the price, although I know both cost me under £5 for the two. 

I also bought these tins which came in a set of three. I love the design as I'm going through a phase of loving black and white at the moment so they were a must buy! I've placed them on my shelf of special items and used them as storage to tidy the shelf up a little bit.

I also bought some wall decoration stickers, but I'm not 100% sure where I will put them yet or if I will put them up at all so if I do I will show you. 

Hope you liked these purchases as much as I do :)

Must have Winter/Spring cardigans!

Hey Everyone! It's been a while as we both are working hard so it may be a short while before be post again or our posts will be rare! But I (Melissa) thought I'd do a quick post as I've recently purchased some new clothing most of them were must have cardigans.
I think that cardigans come in handy throughout the year for everyday wear or work wear! In this case I bought the cardigans for work but will continue to wear them most of the time. I though I'd share them with you because I like them very much :).



Left to Right Top H&M: Powder Beige, Apricot, Mint, Light Yellow, Light Beige, Raspberry Red.
Bottom Left to Right: H&M Apricot Cardigan,  Mango Multi Print Silk Scarf, Mango Multi Print Scarf.

The cardigans are all from H&M and cost £9.99 some of the lighter colours are now in the sale at £4.00 but might not still be available. The scarves are both from Mango at a cost of £8.99 reduced from £33! I think the scarves go really well with the cardigans especially for work wear. They keep you looking nice and bright!
H&M also have many other cardigans like this for £7.99 that come in darker colours such as purple. I bought a few of these too :). They are nice and soft and light to wear, they look nice with jeans or trousers and you only need to wear a vest top or t-shirt underneath.
I think they are great value for money and I buy them every year.
