Home & Style Finds

I’ve been using the Pocket app on my phone lately to save articles and products that I’ve spotted on the web, to either use on the blog at a later date, or to read later when Polly isn’t driving me nuts (she needs some new chew toys!). The above home and style finds were discovered and ‘pocketed’ while waiting for my newly painted nails to dry (raspberry red if you’re interested!) and I’m rather fond of each and every one.

1 | It’s only natural to covet jumpers in autumn but this Sweater (£29.99) from Zara is extra special. I particularly love short jumpers, especially when worn with jeans, and the colours of this are perfectly seasonal too. This jumper is destined to be worn whilst on a coastal walk, followed by an evening in the pub with a bottle of red wine. No other environment will do, my friends.

2| It happened. Polly slept on our bed. It wasn’t our fault. She was poorly and we wanted to make sure we could keep an eye on her…5 days later she’s still there. Yes, I know we’re weak. Ahem.

Anyhoo, I was introduced to a local delivery furniture store called Bedstar, where we could pick up some cool new branded furniture (to go along with the wall lights and storage we need for the bedroom). I really, really want a new bed and to replace our horror of a mattress but alas the puppy has spent all our pennies lately… Dear Santa anyone? Instead I’ll have to settle for beautiful bedding like this Chambray Duvet Set (£39.99) from H&M. I’d usually opt for something colourful for the autumn months but I really love this muted grey/blue duvet and it would look peachy in our bedroom. Just peachy.

3 | Two things on my pre-order list are Spectacles by Sue Perkins and Divers by Joanna Newsom. New books and music are ESSENTIAL for the cold months ahead. In fact they should be prescribed on the NHS.

I’m so excited to read Sue Perkins book; she’s bloody brilliant. Joanna Newsom? I’m forever in her awe and I love the sound of her new singles. Bring on the release dates!

4| Blankets, blankets, blankets. I love them. Polly loves them too. I’d like just one that’s all mine and isn’t covered in Polly hair….which is unlikely as I can’t stop snuggling up to her. Yes, I’m a giant sop. This Blanket in a soft textured weave (£24.99) from H&M would be ideal for early mornings standing on the doorstop drinking my morning cuppa.

5| Erm, Orla Kiely? You do watches now? I totally missed this! Anyhoo, I’ve reacquainted myself with all things Kiely and have now added this chic Orla Kiely Watch (£120) from Freemans to my Christmas list.

6 | I’ve been jabbering on about leopard print for an age but have never dared to take the plunge. These Slip-On Canvas Pumps (£29.95) on sale from Joules are very tempting though.

7| Rain is a bugger. Nothing is going to make it awesome. But this Umbrella (£14.95) from Dot Com Gift Shop will help to make it marginally OK. Gorgeous print, great price too.
