Mini Homeware Haul

I dream of the day when I have my own home and can decorate every inch of the house in pieces that I love. But, I still live at home with my parents so I live vicariously through my Mum. I love going homewares shopping with Mum and am always trying to convince her that she needs a new vase or a cushion to add to the million other cushions we have. I always find something to buy for my room, like a candle, new bedding or photo frames. It is a very pleasing shopping experience and definitely makes me happy!

This past week I bought a few little nick-nacks to add some life into my room. The first thing I bought were my 'Lucky Rabbits'. They come as a set and are a symbol of good luck which meant I could not turn away from these little guys. I am obsessed with rabbits and think they are just adorable on my desk.

I love to have a burning candle on my desk while I work. It de-stresses me and helps me focus. Normally I have a huge Glasshouse or Ecoya candle, but I found this Vanilla and Fig scented candle from K-Mart for $6 and it smells like heaven. The mason jar is the perfect packaging for a candle and I really cannot fault this.

The next thing I bought was this small glass box. I think this style is quite vintage, yet classic in design. I love how simplistic it is while still looking elegant with the silver detailing. I have decided to store my watches and bits of jewellery in this box on my chest of drawers and it looks great. It is great if you have some nicer pieces of jewellery and want to display them in your room. This was also from K-Mart and was a great bargain!

My Week In Pictures

I had a fabulous week, starting with mountains of chocolate for Easter and ending with a fabulous festival listening to amazing music. Here are some snapshots from my week. 

On the weekend I picked up some beautiful bright Dahlia flowers from my local florist. I love having fresh flowers in my rooms as it brings so much life and colour into the environment.

I have been eating gluten free this week and picked up some tasty muesli with a berry crunch to add into some natural yoghurt. I love topping it will fresh fruit aswell. It is very healthy and a new type of snack for me! I also love eating from jam jars or mason jars.

A new cafe opened around the corner from my house, so I had to try it out! Had a lovely coffee with my parents!

 

On Easter Monday I went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I saw so many cute animals like this horse and the little bunnies. Was a nice day out, especially since I haven't been in ages!

I went on a little shopping trip to the city and stopped by Zara. I have never really bought a lot from Zara, as it is still relatively new in Australia and is always packed full of people. But I picked up a nice new pair of skinny leg jeans, 2 blouses and a jumper. I was surprised how reasonably price they all were too! 

Cocktails with the girls on Saturday at Opera Bar in the city. Had some of the yummiest cocktails which were very sweet!

On Sunday I went to the Groovin the Moo festival. It was amazing and got to see so many artists that I was dying to see. Here is a glimpse of my festival makeup.
