Pretty Toilet Rolls

barbara

I was at the Bead store supplier’s place yesterday and decided to use the bathroom. I was pleasantly surprised to see her cute toilet paper. It was in a funky print of hearts. She told me that she got them from The Designer Toilet Roll Company in UK. Well, I really don’t mind getting some for my bathroom too. Why go for boring toilet papers when you can get Colourful Hearts, Cheeky Chicken or Beautiful Butterflies print eh? These toilet rolls are made with safe, colorfast vegetable-oil based-ink. Can’t wait to beautify my bathroom with them.

Summer Bags From Gap

Have you checked out Gap? Its new collection is so fun and bright. As a bag lover, I did not hesitate to check out the Bag Collection right away. Oh, they just give me butterflies in the tummy. There are so many straw bags and totes that I like. Perhaps I should get one straw bag and one tote bag. Too many? Nah!

Birthday Gift Ideas For A Friend

A dear friend’s birthday is just 2 weeks away. She will be having a little birthday party do at her home with friends and family. I cannot wait to celebrate her birthday as she is turning 40. My friend is the first one in our group of friends to turn 40 so this is very special indeed. A few of us are going to help her put up the decoration for her party. The decor involves lots of heart-shape stuff, banners, sweet paper flowers made from cupcake liners and etc. It is going to be so much fun.

I have been thinking what to get her for her birthday. I found a couple of things which I think she would like.

Gold Peter Pan Collar from Dorothy Perkins. My friend loves tops with Peter Pan collar so I think she would really like this gold collar.

Tan East/West Shopper from Dorothy Perkins. She has been looking around for a shopper and since orange is her favourite colour, I think she would like this bag.

Beautiful candlewick bedspreads from Damart. Pink is her favourite colour and just recently, she was saying that she would like to get a new bedspread. So, do you think she would like this lovely Dusky Pink candlewick bedspread?

Cream and Crystal Necklace from Dorothy Perkins. I just love the simplicity of this necklace.

It is so hard to make a decision on which to choose for my friend. Perhaps I should get a few of them as gifts for her.

Organizing The Accessories With Trove

Right now I am so loving this Trove accessories organizer from Quirky.com. It is a great way organize and display the jewelries. The Trove features a necklace rail with 12 hooks, a mesh screen for earrings, 4 long hooks for bangles, watches or bracelets, 3 small drawers to hold rings, 2 larger bins for longer items and a slide to the side mirror. This is just something that I need badly in my bedroom. My accessories are kept in a big bin and it is hard for me to find them. With the Trove, I can easily see the necklaces, rings, bracelets that are in my collection. Ok, next I would need to find some organizational bins or shelves to keep my clothes neatly in the closet.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

It is the rainy season over here. Been raining almost every evening for the past 2 weeks. According to the weather forecast, there is more rain in the coming weeks. I do not mind the rain. In fact I love it when it rains. One thing that I love to do is to wear rain boots. They are just so adorable. I have not seen anyone wearing them over here. Here is a nice umbrella that I want to get. It would definitely brighten someone’s rainy day.

Sunglass Storage From Need Supply

Oh I just found something I really want right now. It is the Roll Sunglass Case from Need Supply. It’s the prettiest I have ever seen. It features heavier weight, extremely durable and protective 3 oz leather flap with a long wrap around leather tie for closure. It has a stitched side detail. I love its natural brown shade. Do you think Santa Claus can bring me one this year?

Must Have Accessories

barbara

I am in the mood for shopping again. So much to buy but so little money. Getting some cash advances sounds like a good idea now because I have just seen a few things which I adore at Etsy – The Shop At 144. This shop creates unique fashion and wedding accessories that are simple and feminine. I would like to get the mini shoe clips which is great for jazzing up my old shoe.

This Grey Ruffle Chiffon Flower clip is a cute accessory too. It can be a hair accessory, attached to a thin belt, necklace or as a brooch on your shirt.

Chalkboard Accessories For The Office

The Chalkboard Office Accessories from CB2 are just so much fun. You can write, draw or doodle on the office products. How cool is that? You can get pencil/pen holder, storage boxes and magazine holder with painted chalkboard surface. Once you get too bored with your messages, labels or to-dos, just wipe them off with a soft dry cloth. So fun eh? When you buy either one of the products, you will get one piece of chalk included. Oh, I cannot wait to get a few of the storage boxes for my scanning software and knick-knacks.

Matryoshka Doll Crazy

barbara

Ever since a friend asked me where she can find the Matryoshka Nesting Dolls, I became a fan of them. They are a set of Russian dolls of increasing sizes when placed next to each other. Aren’t they the cutest thing? I love how colourful they are. I was at Etsy a while ago and found a huge range of Matryoshka Dolls. There are Matryoshka pendants, aprons, laptop sleeves, girls’ dresses with Matryoshka designs, dog collars, etc. If you are a fan too, then you must check out Etsy.
