Autumn Home Wishlist

Although I'm not quite ready to believe how quickly 2016 is going, it''s safe to say that we are well & truly into the autumn months (crazy, I know). As well as over-sized jumpers & berry lipsticks, another autumn favourite of mine has to be homeware.

Heart Tea Light Holder - Tesco - £7.50 [x]
Wifi, Coffee, Bed Mug - New Look - £4.99 [x]
"Stay Home & Snuggle" Cushion - Asda - £8.00 [x]
Faux Fur Blanket - Primark - £25.00 [x]
Pain Au Raisin Candle - Yankee Candle - £1.49 - £21.99 [x]
Copper Heart Lights - Primark - £4.00 [x]

With a mixture of vanilla & Cinnamon Pain Au Raisin is one of my favourite Yankee Candle scents (the sweet scent reminds me so much of Disneyland!) - this paired with a fluffy faux fur blanket & a coffee (or maybe hot chocolate) sounds like a perfect autumn evening.

Have you spotted any homewear items that are 

perfect for autumn?

Asda Homeware Wishlist

With spring (hopefully) being just around the corner, I finally decided to bite the bullet and sort out the clutter in my flat.. It was time for a spring clear out! 

Over the past few months junk has seemed to gather itself around our flat - particularly in the spare room, which was more of a storage space then a bedroom - & I finally decided enough was enough. 

The flat's been our home for roughly 8 months now, so there was really no excuse to not unpack those last few boxes & find "forever" homes for all the items we have... Plus, if Spring isn't the time to have a clear out.. when is?

Whilst in my "cleaning/tidying" mindset (it's very rare that I actually want to clean/tidy) ASDA's new spring line advert came onto the TV. Now I love home-wear.. especially when it's at a good price.. So naturally I found myself browsing the ASDA home section within  minuets of seeing the advert, & excitedly texting my Mum to have a look at the collection (I may not live at home - but Mum's opinion still counts for a whole lot). 

There were so many items that I completely fell in love with so I couldn't resist sharing a few of them on my beloved Small & Blonde.. Plus I do love putting together a good wishlist post (It allows me to dream of all the items I'd love to call my own...)

So, here we are...

 I love them all.... 

1. Pink Heart Plate - £5.00 [x]

2. Watercolour Rabbit Cushion - £7.00 [x]

3. Birds Duvet Set - £12.00 to fit a double bed [x]

4. "Life Is Short..." Wall Art - £5.00 [x]

5. "I Love You More Than Sleep" Alarm Clock - £6.00 [x]

6. Artificial Sweet Pea's & Vase - £14.00 [x]

7. Bow Design Wall Hooks - £10.00 [x]

8. Hanging Heart - £4.00 [x]

9. Map Cushion - £7.00 [x]

I love each of these & think they'd be the perfect way to brighten up your home/bedroom for the spring/summer months. I'll definitely be treating myself to some of these items soon.

Home accessories wish list - Asda.

Coming to the end of university also means coming to the end of my time living in a student house. Therefore I have been looking for (and I think finally found - yay) a nice little flat to move into when the tenancy is up on the house. 

Due to this, over the last few weeks I have been having a little search around the internet for some nice new things to buy that I need/want. There have been a few different shops I've found that have some lovely things, but the one that caught me most by surprise was Asda (I didn't realise they sold such lovely and affordable home accessories). 

I've decided to write some posts around the items that are currently on my "new flat wish list" and I'm going to start with the items from Asda (there are quite a few!). Hopefully this may give someone a little idea some new things for their bedroom/flat/house etc. 

I'll start with the few little bits for the kitchen. 

Now I know these may not be a necessity... but I think they're adorable and would be lovely for brightening up the kitchen area! Plus they're a bargain at only £5. 

I also love this simple clock. At the moment we have no clock in our kitchen and it drives me insane not knowing the time when I'm in there, that may seem a little odd but I'm so used to having one in my family kitchen and it just doesn't seem right not too. 

Again - at the bargain price of £5 these storage tins are perfect for keeping biscuits/coffee/sugar in. The multi coloured polka-dot pattern is also super cute. 

Now if I had my way, these mugs would definitely a lot prettier with flowers etc. all over. But I thought that would probably slightly unfair on my boyfriend so I chose these neutral striped mugs. Even though they're not floral or pink I still think they're sweet and perfect for a first proper home. 

The final kitchen piece from Asda on my wishlist is this "Don't forget" chalk board! I think this would be lovely in the kitchen, along with being so handy for popping things down that you need - such as ice-cream or cake haha!

Following this is a few little bedroom bits. I only have two bits from Asda here - as everything else is from other shops. 

 To start is this lovely pillow with the phrase "Enjoy the little things in life, for someday you may realise they were the big things". I think this is such a true quote and can picture this propped up on the middle of the bed (also it's not to girlie - bonus!)

The final Asda bedroom item is this checked duvet & pillow cover. Me and my boyfriend are hoping to have a little spare room for when people come to stay, so I think this would really brighten up that room and make it feel more homely. 

The final few pieces on the wishlist are all accessories (which are all incredibly feminine... oops) 

I'm on a pretty tight budget right now (being in the awkward place between being a student and working full time) but I think they're all such good value for money. 

If you wanted to check out any of these items or have a browse you can visit the home section of the Asda website by clicking here.
