New Bedroom Ideas..

My bedroom in my parents house is changing and I am downsizing rooms.

I have de-cluttered and thrown away some of the tonnes of useless things I'd been hoarding over the years. I have already selected the wallpaper, blue and yellow floral, and envision a pretty, light, and sparse room for relaxing in when I visit my parents.

Here are some ideas:

My House

I live in a 19th century coach house.

 

My new collecting habit: matching pyjama sets.

Wearing matching PJs is highly under-rated, but it is something which I have found VERY enjoyable over the past few months. I stopped wearing matching PJ sets after my old landlord stopped by one day a few years back when I was wearing a Bridget Jones style set and laughed at me. I stopped wearing them then and there... until now.

Thanks to lovely Zooey Deschanel, Taylor Swift and various fashion designers - 'cool PJs' is no longer an oxymoron. I highly recommend it, going to bed looking chic is a great boost for morale, and looks DARN CUTE.

Check out the Elle team wearing PJs to work for Red Nose day - sure wish my office had agreed to this!

A Dream of France

I'm feeling a little obsessed with the idea of a trip to France - and these posters are seriously adding fuel to the fire! 

Imagine cycling around pretty lanes, trips to a the local boulangerie for bread, drinking local wine and eating seafood after a day at the beach.. ahhhh. 

Lo-Lee-Ta

Check out this online exhibition of cool covers from that hipster-staple of a book, Lolita. Yeah, I read it but I didn't like it - apart from the opening line... oh and the covers, some of those are good too.

'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.'

Come Fry With Me...

I really want that pink frying pan with the polka dots underneath - cute, huh? 

It's £17.50 from good ol' M and S, check it out here!

Misfits

Check out THIS amazing collection of stills from The Misfits. The final finished film by both Clark Gable Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller was also involved in the making of the film - the dynamic on the set must have been incredible. 

In my parents house there is a very large framed picture of Clark Gable which I used to gaze at as a child - I've liked him for a very long time, the epitome of 'dream man'.
