Were moving! I'm so excited! Do you know what this means readers? I no longer live in rented military house, and live in one where I can actually paint the walls, and stick as many pictures/posters/clips etc as I like! The house my parents settled on is in a lovely Cotswold town, and the house is newly built but in the style of a cottage. So it's modern but without it being too modern. It's absolutely fab!

So, instinctivly as soon as they told me, I started plannig what my room wil be like. Were on quite a budget so no masive room makeovers, just small little accents that I ma change.

Looking at wallpaper designs on the Internet, I realised that they are all quite similar - either flowers or 'grown-up' patterns. And being a teenager, and one who likes to express her individuality through everything I decided to look for a more eccentric design. Many wallpaper and paint websites and shops stock some different designs and I settled on one with tree trunks running up the walls.

Looking back on some of my previous posts I realised they are going to come in handy very muchly. The one regarding fairy lights and bohemian style rooms are possibly the ones that I will pay most attention to. Another blog that I really love reading is House of Anais. Many of you may have seen, read or follow her. It's absolutely fab, and she does wonderful posts about house design and interior decorating so I will probably find myself indulging in her posts.

Another thing I've found myself doing is reading home magazines. I didn't think I would be doing this for about another 5 or more years, when I buy my own home. But they have great idea's for home design. They have wallpaper/paint idea's, room displays, and also loads of bits & bobs that can make your room feel much more homely. A great read is Elle Design, and I recommend picking up a copy next time your scowering the magazine isle for your next read!

One of the annoying things about boarding school? Not being able to post as frequently, so I'm sorry.

I have started to gather a slight obsession with charity shops. (I think in th US their called thrift shops? Corre

Hello hello!

So this is my first ever review and it's quite exciting! So here goes: so I got this tinted moisturiser for my birthday from my mum. I love it, so I thought I'd say what I love about it.

Marilyn Monroe. She is one of THE most idolised women in history. She has had countless movies made about her. She has thousands of women striving to look like her, and to try and get her magnificent hair do. Over the years, many people have had the opportunity to play Marilyn, the most recent is Michelle Williams and she is the best Marilyn I have seen. She has got the hair perfect, and she looks very similar to the original icon. I can't wait to see this movie, it looks absolutely fab! It looks romantic, sad and possibly funny at time. Out in theatures now!

Marilyn Monroe has inpired many women across the globe with the way they look. Many women have looks that resmble, or are inspired by the way she looked. Scarlett Johansson donned a Monroe inspired look for the D&G adverts, Rihanna for her Vogue UK cover shoot. Also, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Christtine Aguilara and Lady Gaga have famously been inspired by the beautiful woman.

Michelle Williams in 'My Week With Marilyn'  looking absolutely beautiful.

Marilyn Monroe.

Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana - the hair is the main focus for the look here.

Rihanna for Vogue UK - the main focus is the hair and the tight fitted 1940s/50s clothes.

Madonna - for this look she had eveything. Her hair, the clothes, she even donned a typical Monroe pose

Scarfs. They are my favourite wooly winter item. I own far too many, but here are a few that are perfect for the cold winter months!

£14.99 - H&M

£20.00 - River Island

£22.00 - Accessorize

£6.99 - H&M

Apologies for my recent absence, I'm afraid I have been busy and haven't managed to do any posts recently.

Christmas is drawing near and I couldnt be more excited. I LOVE Christmas, everything about it. I love the great food, the cosiness, the family time and obviously presents. But one of my most favourite things, as I'm sure it is with most people, is the decorations and the tree. Doesn't matter what 'kind' of decorations you like, your home will look beautiful! My family and I have always stuck around a red/purple and gold theme, some people have a silver theme, some have gold, some have multi coloured some base theirs around how their home looks anyway, and some just have evrything - from handmade decs, to sparkly shop bought ones.

You cannot have a Christmas without a Christmas tree, and I personally prefer having a real and natural tree compared to an artificial tree. I think the smell you get with the real one is a major factor, altough the little pine cones that end up on the floor are a nuissance. Fake trees just aren't the same though.

Here are some simple tree decorating idea's for those who fancy a change, or are stuck for ideas!

Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!!

This is OFFICIALLY my quote for life. So inspirationable and said by such an idol. LOVE IT!!!

Hi all. So I have just seen these shoes in Schuh and they're amazing! I personally would'nt wear these shoes, but they are very beautiful. They are perfect for a christmassy pick me up, and have a very similar resemblance to Dorothys shoes in The Wizard Of Oz. The heel isn't too high which makes it easier to walk! They are so cute, and would be great for Halloween this year!

They cost only £65 from Red or Dead and Schuh. They're so cute!! What do you think?

Happy autumn! Autumn happens to be my favourite season. I love the colours, the weather,  the clothes, everything! I love the dark, but not dull colours, and how they are dark but still bright and colourful. In England, autumn is lovely, the leaves all on the ground give the streets and parks such a beautiful colour. It's also not too cold but definitley hot so it's the time of year where you start bringing out the coats and scarfs in preparation for winter!!

This year I am really loving the colours and the styles. There are lot's of dark wine reds, burnt  oranges, plums, dark olive greens, yellows and different shade of browns. They're absolutely beautiful  and are found in almost everything. I've been completely sucked in by this colour fest and had  bought a wine red dress and jeans, a burnt orange jumper, a cinnamon jumper and my bedding  is dark plum! I'm slightly osessed...

Here are a few items in these colours. I hope I get you hooked on Autumn!

Red:

A look I'm really loving at the moment is the character from Pretty Little Liars called Aria Montgomery. She is played by Lucy Hale, and is by far my favorite in the fashion stakes. If you don't watch the show, Aria recently moved back to Rosewood after living in Iceland for a year, she happens to be dating her English teacher Ezra Fitz, and also has some issues at home. Also, if you don't watch the show: watch it!!

Aria's clothes consist of lots of dark colours such as dark plum, reds, browns and lots of black. Accessories are very important for achieving this look, think long pendant necklaces, or maybe wearing more than one. Also long earrings in all kinds of designs; feathers, hoops, anything! And belts! She wears lots of girly dresses that are fitted around the waist and finish just above the knee, but she makes this girly look edgyer with aspects such as leather jackets, boots and bold hoisery. Aria wears lots of patterned tights and socks, she will often be seen in knee high socks. (Topshop are great for them!)

As for her make-up, Aria wears quite dark  eye make-up one day and the next she will  be quite natural. Play around with your  make-up, and try and grasp how to do  smokey eyes (there are many tutorials on  YouTube). If you want your hair to be styled  in the same way, curl the ends with big  curling tongs to make a more natural curl.

The key aspect to getting this look right is the colours, you will never see her wearing bright  colours! Layering is also important. But most importantly, be bold!

Here are three outfits I have put together.

Knee highs. Thigh highs. They're a must have for this Autumn and are making their way through our high street shops. You can wear them with almost everything, and look great with dresses. They originally became popular in the 1960's and 1970's with the mini-skirt, then becoming associated with school uniforms and they are now a fashion item. Knee highs offer a versatility with an outfit. For example, if you want to wear a pretty dress but don't want to look too girly, knee highs add that bit of rebelliousness to your outfit. They also make PERFECT festival wear (bit late) as they are great with shorts, and look wicked with wellies!

Topshop offer a massive range of them in various styles, colours and lengths, and I'm sure you can find the perfect ones for you. Here are just a few of they're, but do have a look and be a shade braver! I love them!!

Grey Trim - £7.00

Burgendy - £6.00

Black Lace - £6.00

When living in England, or anywhere in the UK, you must own a pair of wellies. They are essential due to our poor weather. When I was younger I remember having wellies purely for the purpose of being able to splash is puddles, but now they have become a lot more than that. They are worn endlessly at festivals, in the snow and of course in the rain. They have also become a bit of a fashion statement. Do you go for traditional green, or do you go for bright and vibrant? Many go for both. You can get wellies everywhere! From cheap Primark to expensive Hunter.

Green Hunter - £79.00

Topshop - £26.00

Joules - £34.99 (from Welly Warehouse)

Pink Hunter - £79.00

Which is your favourite? I have a yellow pair from Laura Ashley with small flowers dotted on them. What's your wellie style?

Blake Lively has again made every women and girl exceedingly jealous. She has once again flawlessly stolen the show in the beautiful ensemble. The relaxed maxi skirt is brightened up with the vibrant red and the cute cut off denim jacket, but still kept simple with the white tank top and sandals.

I have put together a cheaper version just to make this outfit that more lovable.

Maxi Skirt - £40.00 Topshop

Vest - £12.00 Asos.com

Denim Jacket - £35.00 Topshop

Sandals - £10.50 Forever21.com

Chain Necklace - £12.50 Topshop

Mila Kunis looked beautiful at the Russian premier of her new film, Friends with Benefits. With her ballet-inspired Elie Saab dress, and with Justin Timberlake as arm candy she was bound to look like a star. Her messy up-do is spiced up with a little hair piece.
