TODDLER: Big Girl Bedroom Wishlist

Isabella turned two in April and it seemed like the perfect time to move her into her 'big girl room' (aka. the spare room). Though we don't need the nursery for a while, as bump will sleep in our bedroom for a good few months to begin with. It made sense to do it before baby arrives. I would hate for Isabella to feel pushed out because of her little sister's arrival, so we were planning on doing it well in advance.

PREGNANCY #2: Baby Number Two Wishlist


Now that baby number two is making an appearance in a matter of weeks (ok, I could still say months but weeks sounds better) I thought I'd put together a wishlist. These are some of the things that I would love to get in readiness for baby number two, though in reality we really don't need very much. I think that's why these are mainly decorative because I'm keen to make some slight changes to the nursery. I am already conscious that this baby will be having a lot of hand-me-downs, as we're expecting another girl, so by changing the nursery it will feel like a new experience again. That's what I'm hoping anyway.

WISHLIST: Marks and Spencers Spring/Summer Baby Collections

These posts are almost becoming a bit of a tradition, mainly due to my love for Marks and Spencer's baby clothes. I actually wasn't all that keen on their last autumn/winter collection (thank goodness - my bank balance needed a break), but they've just bought out their spring/summer collections and I'm in love again! There's lots of colour, floral patterns and finally new bib sets, which I've been waiting for for what feels like forever. Last week they had 20% off everything online, so I seized the opportunity and picked up a few of my absolute favourite pieces.

WISHLIST: Christmas 2015

Christmas is quickly approaching and I am seriously excited this year. Probably because it's Isabella's first Christmas and I'm determined to make it one to remember...for us even if she won't! I've put together my wishlist for this year, which was actually really hard because almost everything I wanted was actually for Isabella. Getting her cute clothes just makes me very happy, so thinking about what I wanted was hard. Time to myself is limited, therefore a lot of items on my wishlist this year are there to make my life easier (or cover the effects of limited sleep)!

WISHLIST: MijMoj Beautifully Crafted Home Accessories

STEP Oak Sideboard 1
We have been in the process of decorating our house for the past 10 months now - I can't believe it's already been that long! Yet only one room is finished, we're slow, steady workers to say the least. The kitchen, bathroom and our bedroom are nearly finished, but we still have lots of little jobs to do in each of these rooms.

BABY: Marks and Spencers New Releases Wishlist

Following the recent Marks and Spencer's sale (see what I picked up here) they have released a beautiful new range of baby clothes and as with every new range there are so many pieces I've added to my wishlist. Whoever designs the baby clothes for Marks and Spencer's is seriously skilled in creating pieces that encapsulates exactly what I love about little baby clothes. Though we don't need anymore summer clothes for Isabella, there's no harm is browsing - right? (and casually adding into conversation with my husband the new clothes we just need in Isabella wardrobe).

I've also added in the things I'd love for boys and unisex pieces that would be perfect if you are pregnant and don't know the gender of your baby.

HOME: HandM Home Haul and Wishlist

 
As we are starting to have a proper kitchen again (very exciting!) I've been shopping around for some new kitchen accessories. I've never bought anything from the H&M home section before but have always swooned over so many of their items. They are often reasonably priced and so stylish - definietly worth checking out. Here's a few pieces I picked up recently...
 
 
 

Now onto my H&M Home Wishlist...

BABY: Unisex Clothing Wish List

As I've discussed in a previous post (see here), I've been struggling to find unisex baby clothes and from speaking to other Mum's or Mum's to be they also had the same struggle. A lot of retailers must presume everyone will either find out the gender of their baby or not buy most clothes until the baby has arrived (again, that requires patience. Something I'm not particularly blessed with). I've browsed the internet and high street shops high and low, to put together a wish list of unisex clothes for anyone who has also been struggling...

WISHLIST: Autumn Home Accessories from notonthehighstreet

Making a house a home is always a personal target of mine. I love the home Tom and I have created together but as we rent at the moment we can't really make the house completely our home. There's the usual rental restrictions - limited number of items on the wall, can't change wall colours, carpet colours and everything has to be just as when you moved in. Completely understandable as you are in someone else's house at the end of the day but it doesn't stop a girl dreaming about what her perfect autumn house would look like....

 

Oh the dream continues...

Do you like to make you home/bedroom all cosy for autumn?

WISHLIST: Sephora Beauty

Unless you've been on another planet you will know that Sephora is now delivering to the United Kingdom! Now there's no need to beg anyone you knew that was going to the continent or America to get you a list as long as your arm of beauty products! Us Brit's can now sit in the comfort of our home and make lavish Sephora orders and wait with anticipation for it to arrive (after paying the rather expensive £6 delivery flat rate charge). A month ago I came back from Florida and get this - I didn't step foot in a Sephora store!! There just weren't any where we were, even on the main shopping strip in Miami Beach. However as part of our honeymoon we're going to New York, so I thought I'd start putting together a beauty wishlist from Sephora. There's no way I'm going to America again and not at least stepping foot in a store! I have noticed recently that since becoming a beauty and lifestyle blogger I am a lot more interested in buying lots of different make up products - I never used to be - I blame you all :)
^Nars Sheer Glow Foundation $45 - I have wanted to try this since I started watching YouTube video and every second beauty YouTuber uses it!^
^Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Oil Free $33 - I've read so many good things about this primer and I wished I had bought it America now, as it would be a good primer for our wedding day.^
^tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation $36 - since watching Essie Button's review (see here) on this foundation I've wanted to try it, as a lighter option to Estee Lauder Double Wear or Revlon Colorstay Foundation.^
^Stila Set & Correct Baked Powder Trio $34 - I don't really know much about this product but I'm a sucker for beauty products that look unique. This claims to 'colour-corrects, brightens, primes, evens skintone and sets makeup with a flawless, satin-like finish'. Sounds good to me!^
^tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer $24 - I bought a tarte gift set when I was in America and it included a little jar of Maracuja Oil, which I've been applying at night and it's worked wonders for my skin. This concealer sounds perfect - it doesn't crease! I always struggle with concealer creasing just under my eye so if this is the one to stop that, it's on my wishlist.^
^Clinique Cheek Pop Blusher $21 - I first came across this range of beautiful blushers on Liza's blog - GlamBeautys (a fantastic beauty blog you should follow if you don't already!) - the shades are very 'me' and isn't the product design just the cutest?!^
^Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick - Bronze $42 - I love the concept of this product, as it's so versatile. You can either use a big, fluffy brush and apply it like a bronzer or use an eyeshadow brush and apply which every colours you like to your eyelids. I think the pearly white shade would make a lovely highlighter too.^
^Guerlain Météorites Powder For The Face in Clair 02 $60 - now I know this is ridiculously expensive so I probably will never own it but it's just so pretty! I love the Moroccan/pastel designed packaging and the illuminating properties of the pearls make the most flattering, flawless illuminating powder. I've swatched this product so many times but the price tag keeps putting me off, it would look nice on a dressing table though....^
^Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette - In the Nude $27 (value $50) - I just love the combination of shades in this eyeshadow palette. You could create so many different looks - purple, pink, bronze, golden, silver, pearly. You could also use the lighter shades as highlighters and lightening the tear duct area.^
^Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner $13 - I really struggle with my eyeliner creeping down my face throughout the day, I've never tried a waterproof eyeliner so this could be the answer. Do you struggle with this and have you found any solutions?^
^Lancôme EFFACERNES Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer $30.50 - again with the whole watery eye issue a lot of people have, including myself, this could help to solve the issue. As I know how emotional I'll be on our wedding day I should probably get some waterproof undereye concealer before the wedding - do you have any to recommend?^
^Bite Beauty Deconstructed Rose Lip Gloss Library $49 (value $165) - there are 12 vibrant shades of lip gloss, one for every occasion. As I've recently been experimenting with different lip products I think I'm starting to settle on lip gloss being my favourite lip product.^

Which are your favourite picks from Sephora?

PS. Sorry if this post has in anyway enticed you to make a Sephora order!

WEDDING WISHLIST: Ginger Ray

Ginger Ray have been a wedding and party supplier that constantly appears in wedding magazines, wedding websites and wedding shows. Not because they have tried to saturate the wedding decoration market but because they offer such beautiful products that will suit a vast range of wedding styles. I absolutely love browsing their website and thinking about how some of their products would fit in perfectly with our wedding. I just had to share with you their website and some of my favourite products. These don't have to just be for weddings, a lot of the products are suitable for parties, baby showers, birthdays and as home decorations.

Chevron Divine Range

I clearly really like the Hessian look!
