My Home - Before and After... The Big Transformation!

There is nothing quite as exciting as moving house and making the new place your very own. In September we moved into a new place and, while it was very exciting, it needed an immense amount of hard work! We have finally got more or less everything sorted now in our cosy little flat - apart from the flooring in the bathroom. So I thought I'd share the before and after pictures with you all!

The entrance to our main living area...

The wonders of pretty wallpaper and a lick of paint!

Still awaiting flooring and the new sink to be fitter, but a darn sight better than it was!

The study, complete with messy desks!

The "lobby" area...

Our little kitchen... Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake!

One of several musical instruments littering the flat... Couldn't quite manage to get the double bass mounted on the wall however ;)

Some of my many books... I'm no longer allowed to buy any more as we're rapidly running out of bookshelf space!

Polka Dot Dresses For The Party Season!

Vero Moda Polka Dot Empire Dress
ASOS - £28

Christmas is only round the corner, so it's time to get some brand new polka dots! Although, if I'm honest, I don't need an excuse to increase my polka dottage - but of course that's not going to prevent me from being tempted to buy a couple of new dresses. It certainly didn't take long for my class to realise my polka dots obsession... a matter of minutes I think! Here are a few lovely dresses that I have found to get you started on your party season dress search!

Pretty Paperchase Birthday Cards!

Doodle Moods Cloud Birthday Card

Have I mentioned before how much I LOVE Paperchase?! "Yes" I hear you cry, in fact I rarely miss an opportunity to profess my love for all things Paperchase! I recently perused their card collection to purchase some of their lovely cards and here are some of my favourites... oh and may I just say it is merely a coincidence that I am blogging about lovely cards when it is exactly a week from my own birthday, definitely not a coincidence...

Modcloth - Gorgeous Dresses Galore!

Guess what I'm supposed to be doing... yep, a whole heap of revision! Guess what I'm actually doing... oh yes, blogging! After trawling the internet for pretty things to ogle I came across Modcloth and found so many gorgeous dresses I could barely fit them all into this post! I love the cute names that each dress has. Which is your favourite?
