Feeling Festive & Feeling Homely With Some of My Favourite Homely Items...

Today has definitely been one of those days where it's put me in the festive mood for sure! I have been listening to Christmas music (which I am sure has drove my grandad mad as I have had the Justin Bieber's Christmas album on repeat he-he!) The weather has been a typical Autumn but nearly Winter day as there has been a white almost like snow sky! (I love the white skies, there so pretty!) 

I wanted to share this beautiful photo with you. For those of you who do follow my social media you will know I have recently posted this on my Instagram page. The photo is just beautiful, it definitely sets the mood for Christmas! (I feel like a big kid when it comes to Christmas but I actually love Christmas so I don't care ha-ha!)

Moving on swiftly, I wanted to share some festive homely items of mine that simply gets me excited every year for the Christmas season! 

I would say my chair that was actually from a spare room, just sets a Christmas vibe! It makes my room feel even more homely, I love the gold throw that keeps me cosy and snug during the winter period. It's definitely a key homely item for me during the winter! (I kind of took it while no one was looking and now it remains in my room!) 

Then of course my three favourite pillows! As you can see I have some close ups for you all! I wanted to share them with you as they all have different meanings for why I love them! 

My gold pillow matches my new bedding and I think the colours match perfectly for the autumn and winter months. I just love my gold little pillow, it's one of my obsessions in my bedroom. 

Then my pink fluffy pillow, I adore this pillow it doesn't really match with my bedroom colours now but it still looks great! As I couldn't throw it away, I love it too much and it's okay to have a touch of pink. I love how the pillow just feels so snug and soft! I have had this pillow for a while, it's definitely one of my homely favourites for sure! 

Finally, my third pillow is a beautiful pillow that was from my dear cousin Heidi who often reads my blogs and always supports me. So firstly, thank you for that and thank you for your comments they always make me smile knowing I have your support! Anyway, Heidi bought me this pillow last Christmas and it has remained one of my favourite homely items. I love the different prints, that mingle into one beautiful item as well as the fact that it has my name on it! (I love, love, love it!) 

I wanted to share with you all some photos of mine, which I took this afternoon to show you the beautiful sky and the surroundings of my home! I am so excited for the festive season now! 

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, let me know if you would like me to feature something on here :)!

Lots of love, Anya x

A Trip Down To Boux Avenue...

Hey you guys, 

So I haven't blogged much recently but I have been teasing you all with showing and sharing regular photos on my social media's! Especially, my Snapchat and Instagram as I love sharing hints and experiences with you all! 

You have most likely guessed by now that I went over to the mainland to do some shopping and I went into Boux Avenue!! (I use exclamation marks to help show the enthusiasm of how excited I was and still am to have been heading over to Boux Avenue!!)

I love going to Boux Avenue, I just think it's so beautiful and girly! It makes you feel like a pretty little princess doesn't it girls?  

I am so fascinated with the décor of the shop and the pretty scent the shop has! I am literally obsessing over the store! Whenever, I go to Southampton for the day I will spend majority of my time in there I swear! (Good luck to whoever goes with me!) 

Not forgetting, the pretty well beautiful ranges of underwear that you simply can't take your eyes off! I must have spent roughly about an hour and a half in the shop, thankfully I went with my nan as she was able to tolerate that time but if I went with Scott or my mum they would have been pretty bored at that point! 

As you can see I ended up with some beautiful new buys which really excite me as it's really important that you buy something that attracts your eye but also makes you feel comfortable and beautiful at the same time, right girls? 

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get a good look at the pyjamas they had in the store as I had to head off to Primark so I have decided I will definitely take a little look on the website now as I simply can't resist not buying some beautiful and stylish pj's!! (Naughty, I know but it's not long till Pay Day so I might as well treat myself! We all deserve a treat right ladies?) 

I hope you all remember that your beautiful and you deserve to feel that way all the time! 

Treat yourself to something nice.!!. 

Lots of love, Anya x

2 sets for Autumn 🍂

As you know for weeks I have been obsessing over Autumn fashion, I just think there's so many different ways to style an autumn inspired outfit! (I actually have fun playing around with the styles and figuring out whether they work or not!) Fashion is daring and that's why I love taking my time to try new styles to see if they suit me or you guys! 

With the autumn season, you can be pretty simple or you can be complex it's whatever suits you or the outfit. 

Today I have styled two looks (I actually love both of these styles personally and would wear both of them which is why I am really excited to show and share them with you all! I just hope you like them too!) 

My first style, is a rather casual look but it has a little twist as you could wear the look to work or even for an evening occasion or something like that! As you can see I have styled a black crop top with high-waisted grey pants but the little twist that changes it from a casual outfit is the monochrome heels I have paired with the outfit. Don't you think it lifts the outfit and adds a stylish touch? (Plus I love the heels - I think they look amazing!)

My second style, is a chic style for sure. I think it's delicate but still manages to put the point across that we know our style right girls? I paired a white blouse with a suede tanned mini skirt and then finally added a black pair of platforms! 

In terms, of what I would add to both styles I actually paired a white handbag as it's simple but shows off a chic touch which is what we all want girls right? Other than that, I would keep it simple and leave the styles looking glam the way they already are. Remember, keep your make-up simple and natural as it will blend nicely but maybe add a red or nude lipstick as that will add detail to your look. 

Lots of love, Anya x

Not Every Girl Needs Her Father...

Last night I noticed on my Facebook someone shared this quote and I thought like it was something I should try to open up about and share with you all. 

Most of you all who are reading this who know me in person already know that my mum has been a single parent ever since she had me from the age of nineteen years old. (Just a massive shout out to young mothers like my mum, I couldn't have asked for a better mum who is also like a best friend to me and thank you for making me the girl I am today!) 

I am sure you have most likely have gathered that I don't know my father and I haven't seen him since I was a little girl. 

So I just wanted you all to take the time to appreciate this quote... 

To me, when I first read this quote I initially straight away thought of my mum as she is the person who brought me up. Of course with the help of my grandparents and a shout-out goes to them as well! Thank you for always, supporting me and bringing me up to be the girl I am today, you have all made such a positive impact on me and my life! 

I guess I felt like it was time to express my feelings towards growing up without a father as a role model, to me it's never really felt like a great loss as I have always been brought up to accept that the people who care about you will stay in your life and the people that don't were never really meant to be around. 

I must admit, there have been tough times growing up as it's almost a part of my life that I will never understand that's kind of hard at times. I am sure all of you guys out there who grow up with  without a parent feel exactly the same way. 

I genuinely am just so thankful to have the mum that I have, she has brought up to be strong and to appreciate life in the best way that I can. I wouldn't change anything for the world. 

In  the last few years of my life, my mum met a lovely man who pretty much filled the role of my dad. I couldn't ask for a better step-dad (even though he technically isn't my step-dad yet he pretty much fills the role as a dad and that's all I could ask for! Plus a massive shout for my grandad who has brought me up like his daughter too, thank you!) 

In my opinion, I don't believe you actually need someone to create a standard other than yourself! My opinion is, that you should treat people the way you wish to be treated and therefore that's how you have created your standard. 

I would just like to say a massive thank you for listening and allowing me to share my thoughts and feelings with you all! 

Lots of love, Anya x
