SUNDAY WISHLIST

Today's post is all about our current wishlist items: a perfect lazy Sunday read! Read on to find out what's in our shopping baskets and what we're dreaming of this month.


S' Wishlist



Fashion: For months I've been looking for fringed heels, and these Topshop fringe heels are the perfect statement heel without being too overpowering. Paired with a skirt, dress or trousers, these heels will go with everything and the natural colour of them means that they can be transitioned into the perfect autumn heel.

Accessories: One of my favourite bag companies at the moment is Strathberry of Scotland, having discovered this brand through Victoria at 'Inthefrow', and I've been obsessed! The classic design matched with the bright pop of colour makes this bag my favourite of theirs. The metal bar detail is what makes their designs stand out to me.

Lifestyle: I am aware that we've featured this particular product several times on this blog, but I absolutely love these light up letters from Amazon: they're the perfect accessory for your home. Rustic yet modern, they add a personal touch to your space and after searching high and low I have finally found a design that I love that's still in my price range.



K's Wishlist 




Beauty: I may be a little late to the party, but I'm totally obsessing over Hourglass' Ambient Lighting Blushes at the moment. The shade above (Incandescent Electra - Cool Peach) is beautifully warm with a little shimmer: perfect for late summer. The packaging and gorgeous pattern of the blush is a major attraction too!

Fashion: Abercrombie & Fitch have really stepped up their style game recently (we're loving their essentials) and this faux suede a-line skirt in brown is the perfect item to transition from summer into Autumn.

Lifestyle: We found Chloe Jane Candle Co on Instagram a few months back and I've been obsessed ever since. The Golden (vanilla caramel) candle will definitely be my first purchase, and being made of soy and coconut oil, all ingredients are natural. Win-win!



We hope you've enjoyed seeing what's on our current wishlists! We'd love to know what you're coveting this month: let us know on Twitter! Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Bloglovin & Pinterest too.

LATE SUMMER DREAMING: House Decor

For today's post we're introducing this month's theme. Around this time each year as the summer season is near its change, we always begin to think about decor and creating a new look for our living spaces. As we are still in University, we always feel that September is more of a new beginning for us than January, and with S moving into a new house and K creating spaces to call her own, this is a first look into our current decor inspiration and style. So here are some of our favourite interior styles paired with items from our wish list. 


Office 
Office decor has become very popular as of late. An office can be one of your most personal rooms in the home; it's a space that you don't have to share, meaning that you can truly go wild with your personal style and taste. We love being able to personalise an office space with a gallery wall full of photos and a light up letter for the table. We also love this lamp from John Lewis, but for a cheaper option, Tiger also sell a similar one.

Bedroom
We feel that your bedroom is one of the places in a house (especially if you're sharing!) that you can truly make your own, so go for it! Let your style and tastes shine through in your decor choice: little details can say as much as bold items too, like these gorgeous string lights combined with the wooden ladder.
Throw: Asda,    Lights: The Little House Shop,    Mirror: H&M,    Faux Sheepskin Rug: IKEA,    Plant Stand: IKEA



Kitchen
We feel that the kitchen is well and truly the heart of the home; it's where you probably spend most of your time, either cooking an easy weekday meal or having friends over for a weekend takeaway, so it needs to feel loved with its decor. A trend that we're falling head over heels for lately is copper and rose gold and we couldn't resist adding a bit of this colour in our kitchen.

Bathroom
 For some, a bathroom can be a room of escape and relaxation, so choose items that will suit your needs! We love neutral tones for a bathroom, but our tip is to choose a colour and stick to it. We've chosen these copper accessories for storage (this basket is a firm favourite), and the green in the aloe adds a pop of natural colour.
