Etsy Finds!

I LOVE ETSY!
And I love finding new Etsy shops that are full of gorgeous cute things that I want instantly!
Today I found a few!!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/hannahome
This shop is full of beautiful necklaces, bracelets and such, very cheap too!
I fell in love with this pocket watch.. I have one from Topshop but it broke :( And this is just delightful:

It's all boaty like! I would feel so sailor like! Also they are all handmade :D And it's only £2.53

This shop has so many things though that are as gorgeous as this! Lots of Harry Potter things, and I spotted the infinty symbol a lot! It's just very gorgeous and so cheap so you should check it out for sure :)

Another shop I found was Fabuloustime! It has very similar things to the last one but some things are a little different and it's as cheap :)

People that know me know that I have a slight obsession with animals, I have started a cuddly animal colletion, and now my animal necklaces are starting to grow! But I have not get any animal bracelets or any giraffes at all in my collection and this is lovely!

So cute and dainty! I would just look at my wrist and be like 'Awww I have a giraffe on me!' :D And it's only £1.79 :)

As much as I really dislike biking, because it took me so long to learn how to do it and when I did learn I just came falling off, and it was a very stressful time for me when I was younger I do love this necklace, it makes bikes seem nice and cute.

Paper Airplane bracelet,retro silver SUPER COOL 3D Paper plane pendant,alloy bracelet---B241

Right that's all for now, until I find more beauties <3

exhausted.

So what's been going on.. my last post was about me accepting that I was bigger, because of this I decided to do something about it! Every day since Sunday I have gone on a 12/13 min run every evening. This may not sound like much but for a girl who HATES running/exercise it's pretty impressive, espesh every day, I have not been doing much else, just the occasional shift at work, but for some reason my body is hating me today! So exhausted and weak! I want to power through it but I just feel like sleeping! I was supposed to go out this evening with my best friend Molly but my body is to tired to drink/socialise leave the house! What is going on?! :( I need a massage and a 4 hour long bath!
I may just put on my pjs and light some candles and feel sorry for myself. This is a really really moany post I apologise for this :(

Acceptance?

Today seemed like a big step for me, it wasn't really, but it seemed huge.. I went shopping and bought things that were a size 12-14, things that suited my shape, no small shorts, no bikinis. I am probably the biggest I have ever been but I have gradually got to this size over the last 2 years but today is probably the first time I kind of gave in. Usually I would buy the things I used to wear and just be like 'it will fit me soon' But it never does and I just end up looking like a heffer. I do not want to be a heffer, I became lazy so I have to deal with it and atm that means I am a lot curvier than usual, espesh in the thigh/belly department. But it's okay if I can still look good.. I am working on that. But I am also working on trying to exercise as well.. I can be quite lazy and don't like healthy food so it's a bit difficult but hey acceptance is the first step right?

Busy bee

Recently I have been quite busy hence the not blogging much.
Yesterday I went and performed a performance that me and people from University won awards for at Winchester Theatre Royal! All very exciting, we took it to a college in Essex and they seemed to like it :)
I signed on the other day so I can get money from Job Seekers, which is depressing but atm very much needed, even though I am applying for like everything everywhere!!
Today I am working with my Mum for a bit, probably like 2 hours but it's very sunny so I don't think I will be that busy!
Tomorrow I am doing a carboot with my friend Molly! :) We have a lot of stuff to get rid of because both of us have recently moved back home! Then straight after that I am looking after my nieces at 2 all night at my house, then Sunday I don't know, I may get time to relax! :)
It's 10 days until my hoilday to Poole today! Very exciting! Going with my parents and Matt. My sister, her husband and my nieces are meeting us half way through it :) Hope it's sunny!!
I will hopefully go shopping sometime soon so I can post about clothes, I feel I need some new jeans and shirts! And a swimming costume! :)

I spy.

Today I thought instead of doing the mountain or ironing I have or carry on looking for jobs, I would have a look on etsy to see if I could find anything interesting. I didn't really know what I was looking for so I searched 'vintage hispter' because although I do not ever want to class myself as a hipster I knew some call things would come up and they did!
I came across some hair chalks! Now I saw some like this in Topshop and was tempted to try it out but they were quite pricey. I don't even know if I would use them, it would be cool to try them out though! I have blonde messy hair and some colour may look nice at the bottom :)
Here's a pic of all the colours in an etsy shop..
Premium Hair Chalks - Your Color Choice

I like faerie dust, baby pink, electric blue and wisteria :) On this etsy shop, you pick 2 colours and they pick 2 surprise colours for you which is quite exciting! And it's £6.71 for GB I think.. not bad..

After falling in love with the beautiful biscuit cushions yesterday I thought I would look for food related cushions on Etsy..
nom nom nom Pillow  Geeky Unique Funny Cushion
I found this! Hahahaha! I say nom a lot.. a bad habit of mine, this just made me laugh, a lot less pretty, but still funny and cute :)
http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/62096127/nom-nom-nom-pillow-geeky-unique-funny?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=food+cushions&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=food+cushions

I then came across another Etsy shop full of gorgeous cushion covers, here are 2 of my favourites:
Fashion Linen Cushion covers/pillow cover, 45x45cm

What a find!

Today  I went to an open art exhibition event with my fam, it was a bit different because the one we went to happened to be in the cutest little cafe! It was adorable and it's really close to where I live but I had never checked it out because it used to be an arcades and I thought it was still going to be tacky but I was so wrong! It was really big with lovely old wooden tables and chairs everywhere and art all the way round the side and all across one wall was loads of cute girly gifts!

A lot of the gifts are made by a company called 'Sass and Belle' I have just looked them up online and I officially have a new wishlist, pretty much containing everything on the website but I am going to post my favourites! You just have to check them out if you like anything vintage-esque or floral!

Number 1: Floral fabric lampshade for £12.45

The colours on this are so cute, I love the turquoises and pinks and it could bright up a room so easily! I have a little pale pink lampshade and it's so boring and doesn't let much light out but because of this material my room would be a lot lighter! And it's not expensive either!

Number 2: Wooden Single Shelf And Three Drawers for £24.95
I have been doing up my room recently and need shelves on the wall because well quite frankly I have too much stuff! This would be perfect! I could hide bits away and put pretty things on top, and the vintage-esque heart cut out is pretty! :)

Number 3: BISCUIT CUSHIONS FOR £17.45 (In capitals because of the excitement)


Okay so I just found these and I am so excited and happy that these exist! There are 3 different types and I want all 3 of them!! So worth the money and my bed would look adorable and yummy!

That's it for this post but please check them out!

3 things

I am going to write about 3 things in this post, I haven't done a big post in a while :-)

Number 1: my theatre oufit
I went to the theatre the other night with my mum and sister to see the calender girls, it was very good, I haven't seen the film and have decided I have to! The picture shows what I wore.
My spotty primark blouse which I cut the sleeves off, newlook purple jeans, primark blazer and pumps, newlook pearl and cross necklace :-)  I am loving shirts with these jeans atm.

Number 2: loveheart nails
I decided I would try some nailart the other evenibg even though I usually fail and get really stressed out! These worked surprisingly well! I used a white and then a nice coral colour on top. I actually used the bottom of a birthday candle to do the hearts.. the spikey bit that goes in the cake... weird I know but was thin enough, anywsy I love these and am def going to do it again :-)

Number 3: new clothes rail
As I have recently moved back home I have aloooooootttttttt of stuff that doesn't fit in my room so I did a massive room sort out and decided to put a clothes rail made out of a curtain pole in there, it means all my mostly worn clothes can be on show! And I can keep other things in my wardrobe :-)
