Mr and Mrs Nog ♥ 20/09/14

On the 20th September 2014 my beautiful cousin Vikki married her boyfriend of 9 1/2 years Nog (Antony).

It was at Crabbs Barn in Essex and it was one of the most stunning weddings I've ever seen.  One of the things that impressed me the most on the day was actually the bridal suite, something I wasn't expecting! It was so pretty I turned round to my boyfriend and said "please let our future bedroom look like this?!" Surprisingly he actually agreed it was really sweet, so without out rambling on too much about it I shall let you guys see for yourselves this gorgeous room.

 

So what do you beauties think? Let me know in the comments if you would like to see how I'd design this type of room if I was moving into my own house and how you can achieve this look too :-)

My Autumn Wish List

So in just 6 days its officially my favourite time of the year!  I can't wait to be working outside in the slightly cooler weather, walking through the crunchy orange leaves and snuggling up in the evening surrounded by cinnamon scented candles, sipping hot chocolate, under a soft blanket!  -Bliss!

Have a little 'me' time!

Every so often I think it's really important to just put a day aside and take time out of your busy schedule to just spend a day being selfish!  Switch your phone off and let the day just revolve around you, treat yourself to some pampering and take a day off that diet you read about in the paper!

Here are a few things I like to do while having me time :-)

Catching up with my friends over a *insert your fav coffee shop here*

Treating myself and my boyfriend to a well earned meal out!

Adding a drawing or two to my sketch book (not a born artist I know but hey, if you enjoy it who cares!)
