Decorating Bookshelves

My boyfriend and I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment so we have a lot of issues when it comes to storage and space. Most of our furniture is from Ikea because they are so good for storage and not expensive.

As our place is so small we are using my iMac as a TV so it is in the lounge room on some bookshelves I got from Ikea (where else?). It is the first thing you see when entering the house so I want to make it look really goods. I have some ornaments, photo frames, vases and books to go in there so let's hope it looks nice.

This is what I have to work with:

I was watching Pretty Little Liars!

I have been looking for inspiration online and can't find anything that matches the image in my head... so I think I'll just have to use that haha.

I'm going to give it a go tonight (hopefully) so I'll show you what I come up with.

January Glossy Box

This month's glossy box took a bit longer than normal to come. I like it when I arrive home and I have a surprise parcel, it makes me feel like it's my birthday. My boyfriend and I are on a budget at the moment to save to buy a house. This means that I have to watch what I buy so Glossy Box is my gift to myself each month.

I didn't really love this month's glossy box to be honest but I guess that's the beauty of not knowing what you're getting each month.

Anywho, here's what I got in mine:

Oh and there were also some Australian stickers with the flag but I gave those to my cousin who its travelling and found them to be a novelty.

Happy Aussie Day & pretty summer dresses

Today is Australia day and I don't have to work, woohoo! I don't know what to do today since my boyfriend worked night shift last night he will probably want to sleep all day (boring).

Might try rearrange my house around, clean my makeup brushes (this task is very overdue), and watch some trash tv. If it's still nice out later might walk down to the beach. We live about a 15 minute walk from the bay so I should make the most of it as we are thinking of moving mid year to a bigger place which will probably be no where near the beach.

But before I get all productive with my day I'm going to share some beautiful summer day dresses I love.

That's all for now, it's past midday and I'm still in my pjs... better do something today before the day ends.

Happy Australia Day!

OPI Rainbow Connection

i recently bought OPI's Rainbow Connection. It's so colourful and looks so fun. The bad thing is that it took about 4 coats of it for the colour to look decent!

I actually bought it to wear on Christmas day but I completely forgot about it and went for a nude instead to go with my dress.

This is 1 coat

This is about 4 or 5 coats

Hello there

I take photos of everything... well everything that I find beautiful, inspiring, unusual, entertaining, etc. So I guess I do take photos of pretty much everything.

I also spend a lot of time online looking at beautiful things from fashion, home décor, crafts, photography, food, fitness and beauty. I come across some images and quotes that I feel the need to share.

I started this blog to share my photos and just things I find that are worth sharing. 

Here are a few from my collection (these were all taken from my iPhone so not the best quality). Enjoy!

Love this photo. I took this at the Ashcombe Maze and Lavender Gardens at Portsea, Victoria.
