Yes, this is something I never thought would happen, but I have become obsessed.
Tie dye clothes, bedding, bags, I want it all! 

It started a few weeks back when I cut and bleached some denim shorts, ok so it's not quite tie dying, but since then I've wanted to dye everything. I recently dyed my bedroom curtains (if you have been following me on instagram you would have seen the various stages,) and now I'm looking into tie dying my bedding. I figured it would be cheaper to do it myself than to buy new ones anyway. Although, I did see the most perfect bed set on ebay the other day, if only it hadn't of been £55!!
I'm currently on the hunt for some reasonably cheap plain white duvet covers, so if you know of somewhere I could get some please let me know. I'm going to hunt around the charity shops at the weekend, so hopefully I'll have some luck then. 
Clothes wise, I'm just sitting here wishing I had the money to splurge. I would totally do more fashion posts if my wardrobe wasn't so dire. When I first started struggling with my depression my style seemed to be effected. I started to dress really drab and plain, my hair got dyed back to brunette and I didn't have the confidence to pull off the kind of clothes I loved. But now I'm feeling so much better, my old style is re-appearing. I just wish I hadn't of thrown away the clothes I thought I would never wear again.
So what obsessions do you guys have that seem to be a little unrealistic?
I guess we always want things that are just out of our reach. 
Hope you are well.

YANKEE CANDLES!
I am so obsessed!! But apparently so is everyone else! Haha. 
This is at my local Garden Centre, the shelves are normally jam packed. I went in expecting there to be less there than normal, but I certainly didn't expect this. Quite obviously Yankee's are an ideal Christmas present. 
I did manage to salvage a few wax tarts though, which are ideal for my oil burner as I can break them up easily. 
I'm currently burning Beach Walk and it smells amazing. It's a fresh scent of sea air with hints of tangerine. I'll be definitely buying some more tarts as they last a lot longer than the oils I used to burn. Fingers crossed next time I pop into the garden centre their range will be fully stocked again, I can only hope that the empty shelves doesn't mean that they are discontinuing the candles.  

What are your favourite Yankee scents?

Hi lovelies, 
  so does anyone else have their favourite clothes that they always want to wear? Mine seem to change each month, so I thought I'd share mine with you. With it being cold and wintery, I would probably be silly to wear some of this stuff, so it's not necessarily stuff I am wearing right now, just stuff I'd like to wear.




What are your wardrobe obsessions at the moment?

Bold Lips. 
     This is one make-up trend I have never really followed, until now. In my latest ELF haul, I purchased two lips colours, a studio matte lip colour in 'Natural', which isn't really for the bold look, but the other was their plumping lip glaze in 'Ruby Kiss', which is the most gorgeous deep red gloss. Now usually I wouldn't wear a gloss because personally I don't like the sticky feel, but the colour itself is enough to make me want to wear it.
One celeb to watch for bold lips is Lauren Conrad. The Hills beauty seems to be rarely without this statement look. From rich burgundys to hot pinks, LC always wears this look teamed with the perfect winged eyeliner.
