Paris is always a good idea...

First- OMG. This is my 300th post, how is that even possible?! It's been a hella fun ride here on my little blog and I love having an outlet for my creativity and ideas where I can just be myself, so I really hope ya'll enjoy reading as much as I enjoy photographing and writing these posts!
Anyway...
Anyone else  a little obsessed with Paris? It just looks so pretty and chic and fun. Paris is one of the places I most want to visit (along with Istanbul and Marrakech FYI). I digress. I wanted an interesting way to display photos on my wall and this idea popped up on We Heart It ages ago. So I ordered some photos and found some blue tack and got sticking. I think it turned out really pretty and the little cloud print that I got in the April My Little Box looks super cute next to it too. If you're gonna give it a go make sure that you have plenty of portrait pictures as I was a little short so ended up having to use some old quote prints to fill in the gaps.

Desk Decor

After showing you what's on my wall above my desk in my last post, I thought I'd show you in a bit more detail what's actually on my desk. Starting from the left there's a little palm tree-esque thing that my mom gave me sitting in the pot from the June My Little Box which you can see here. There's also some roses that I picked from the garden in a milk bottle vase from Ikea, plus an Eiffel Tower that my brother brought me back from his trip to Paris and an almost empty glass sweet jar from Matalan for when I get hungry whilst I work. Which is always, let's not pretend. 
Then in the middle there is a napkin holder from Ikea that I use to hold spare pieces of paper and a plastic mat to protect my desk, also from Ikea. Underneath there are a bunch of photos I love and my college timetable arranged on a wallpaper sample from B&Q. Gotta love those things.
On the right there is a bottle of water, plus my pencil pot and then a whole load of stuff that doesn't really have a home that I always end up throwing into this pretty little crate from home Bargains in an effort to make my desk look tidy. This includes but is not limited to- a bottle of Voss water, paper straws, notebooks, post-it notes, a travel organiser/wallet from my latest My Little Box, a restaurant menu and scraps of paper that I've wrote ideas and such on.

So there we go, I hope you enjoyed...

Wall Art Idea

So this is my desk, where I sit and write most of my blog posts (Except for when I'm feeling especially lazy and do it in bed that is). For me it's really important to be surrounded by colourful and pretty  pictures whilst I blog to inspire me and keep me motivated.  Which is where this came from. It started off with just the string of fairy lights (which are from Primark) between two nails that I had left in my walls, then it grew into the above. Quite a few of the prints are from My Little Box boxes, plus there some quotes that I painted myself and a few photos that I added polaroid frames to. 
The calendar underneath is one that I printed off of Hellomondayblog.com, her stuff is just absolutely gorgeous, I love all things watercolour and bright though so I'm very biased. In between there is also some tags from my yogi tea as each tea bag comes with an inspiring quote or phrase, though sometimes they are just plain weird. Being able to see both ahead and behind of the current month is something I find really helpful for planning things and looking at goals too, whilst the notes section at the bottom is handy if you have plans that are yet to find permanent homes on the calendar.
Although it does look a little messy and haphazard due to the asymmetry of the nails (Very annoying) I think it contrasts well with the clean white of the desk and draws your attention upwards adding a nice pop of bright colours.

I hope you enjoyed this little look into my room...
