Spanish Decor With British Accessories

As you all know, in three months I'll be living in Spain. I'm a little nervous about leaving my friends and family for the majority of ten months, but looking at inspiring Spanish decor and interiors, I've started to get a little more excited!

Various inspiration...

I love the combination of modern times with traditional Spanish decor in the pictures on the wall, the deep colours of red and brown, the tiled stairs, and the open plan layout. I especially love the last image for the built in oval-shaped desk infront of windows.

As much as I love the Spanish decor, I'm going to need some British memorabilia in my new home (maybe just my room depending on who I end up living with!). That might be a cushion or two with the British flag or a Pug sewn into it, or an image of the Liverpool skyline.

Just for fun. Some inspiration of British decor.

There you have two styles of interior design. I don't know which is my favourite.

What's yours?

Last Week at Roe

This post is a little bit different to my normal posts about inspiration or fashion, style, film, whatever. This post is a little bit about my life. Yes, I've done 'updates' in the past but here it is.

1. The 4th of May was my last hand in date of 2nd year and although it was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders at the end of it, in hindsight it's a little sad. My next university lecture will be in Spanish, in Spain, Murcia to be exact, and don't get me wrong, I'm SO excited to go to Spain, experience a new culture for almost a year, and have an entire different life to the one I'm used to in England. One of the reasons I moved to London from the North was for this September. I went to Roehampton not knowing anybody and I've made (cheesy as it sounds) friends for life. I know I'll be alright once I get over the initial scared s**tless phase. I'll be back come the September after next, but the majority of my friends will have graduated by that point, so that's the saddest part about going to Spain. I'm not going to be able to spend my (or their) final year with them.

2. All the soppiness over. I filled out my Murcia application form today, and (despite the depressing above paragraph) I am so excited to go! I can't wait for the warmer weather, speaking Spanish (hopefully fluently), eating tapas, making new friends, travelling (I'll be going to Malaga/Benidorm some weekends), and so much more! I really want to buy new clothes, which I know I shouldn't because I've spent humongous amounts already! I'm loving the new style of tees which have gaping holes for sleeves! Them with LA prints are amazing a la New Look & River Island.

3. Currently, I'm at home (up North). Returning to London tomorrow. I've got work the next day, Thurs, and the massive, long awaited Summer Ball that I'm working. It's going to be mental, but worth it! I need to finish writing up more articles for a new online culture mag I'm writing for The405. My first article is here. I also need to go to Central this week, mainly Covent Garden, Camden, Oxford Street, maybe the V&A for another article I'm working on for a new american online mag that will be revealed once the first issue has been published in August. Plus, it's my housemates birthday on Wednesday so we are all going out in heels (of course) and dresses for her 21st! All this plus packing up my room, and lunch with a friend. It's a very busy week for me!

I hope I haven't bored you with the details of my life!

Much love!

MLFD Maxi Dress

My Little Fashion Diary is a blog which I have followed for years. I love Emilie's style, her life, the look of her quirky apartment, and her taste in pastel coloured food! She is one of the most successful and individual bloggers out there right now!

In one of her recent blogs, she wears a maxi dress from her online boutique Rebelle which is beautiful! It's on my wishlist of things that I will (hopefully in the future!) never right now be able to afford! I love browsing on Rebelle to look for inspiration of vintage, or right now clothes and accessories. Their playlists are fab too!

Here is the maxi dress, and an image of Emilie modelling it...

There's my little bit of inspiration from a fabulous fashion blogger, and her amazing fashion sense!

Excitement

These are my birthday dresses of Friday night. There is a story to why I am wearing two dresses on one night (no, I am not a diva): The first one (on the left), did not fit me right. I should have just sent it back and been done with it, but oh no, I decided to keep it and fit my big bum in it, whilst having boobs that are too small for the top half. The dilemma of a pear shape! Basically, the slit up the back ripped further, hence why I wore (number) number two!

It's safe to say that on my birthday, without going into details, I was very ill.

Despite being very 'ill' on Saturday, and having only one cocktail (Sex on the Beach), then drinking water, I have had a lovely birthday weekend! Party night Friday, sophisticated cocktails Saturday night, and tonight a beautiful meal paid for by gorgeous friends complete with a wine that I actually enjoy drinking! It's a miracle!

Birthday cards...

This week

Is quite a busy one for me! I've been in contact with two online magazines that I will be contributing for... I don't want to say who or which yet as one has not had their debut issue, and the other I need to write five articles for by Friday. It's safe to say that this week is a hectic one when it's concerning writing.

I've also had a fab opportunity to feature a website on Senorita Glamourista. Again, I'm not saying who until I have created the post! I'm still in the early stages of emails and links and whatnot.

I also have a friends birthday this week, and I'm surprising some special people this week! I can't wait!

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend, and have a fab week too!

Birthday Dresses

As you all know from my last post (and if you know me personally because I keep going on about it), it is my birthday this weekend! I'm so excited and have just purchased three dresses for the weekend, one for Friday night, and two for Saturday (as I couldn't decide which one I wanted). Needless to say, I am shortly going to be extremely poor, and will have to get a summer job even though I'm planning loads of holidays!

For this post, I'm sharing a few inspiration images from fashion for birthday dresses, just because.

This next image is just a little bit of fun which every party or birthday night out needs!

Finally, get your perfect dress with boohoo.com who has a range of fabulous dresses! I say this because as I've just said, I've just bought three dresses from there! For under £100 too! That's a good deal for me!

On your birthday, you have to look belle of the ball and you can do that with boohoo.com!

Inspired: May

This blog is my little inspiration diary, and I have left it for weeks! I need to keep it up, especially whilst I'm in Spain (which is in four months time!!) so I can keep all my inspirations and memories from there on this little piece of internet.

As we are on the 8th May already, I feel it's time to post some inspiration images like I do every month! it's my birthday in four days, so there will be balloons and party dresses in spring time.

Enjoy!

It's my birthday in four days, so I've made a special Birthday Mood Board for all you May birthday's out there (and everyone else too).

To add to this inspiration filled post, I've found an image that just sums up the fact that no matter who you are, whatever you've lost, whatever has happened to you in life, you can still head out to acheive your wildest dreams.
