Zuny animals

This Nursery is just what I like, stokke crib, jonathan Adler lamps, Sharon Montrose animal pictures, white rocker chair...and the Zuny bookcase holders. The Zuny animals are very sweet, and they are a nice piece of decoration in a nursery.

Fantastically Wonderful Advertisers

As you may, or may not be aware as of the beginning of January I started offering advertising on Wonderful You. It wasn’t something I had really thought about to be honest until a few fellow bloggers contacted me asking when I was going to start!
This little blog, albeit small compared to some of the big bloggers out there is my little hub of happiness and it is such a wonderful feeling that other individuals in the beauty & fashion-sphere appreciate it and want to be a part of it too :D honestly it makes me so happy.

So without further ado, let me introduce to you the absolutely fantastic bloggers that have chosen to steal a spot on my sidebar..

This girl, is frickin’ fantastic and her blog follows suit. Not only does she bring fresh new content to her blog every week, she’s also a makeup artist and graphic designer to boot. From Kim Kardashian tutorials, to blog buttons this girl offers it all. You can expect to be captured for an evening (or three) by her informative how-to guides on the best smoky-eye, how to achieve a messy bun or how to combat spots. Not only is her blog one of go-to beauty favourite’s she is also the loveliest lady and someone I would now consider a friend. It’s amazing how this blogging world brings people together, and I promise if you hop on over with your evening cuppa, you won’t be disappointed. She’s a star in the making.

Charlotte has the most heart-warming blog. That may sound odd but whenever I’m over there I just feel all lovely reading her posts - right at home. It’s predominately based around her latest fashion picks, expect absolutely gorgeous vintage finds (this girl has an eye), and her favourite way to style them – but you can also stumble across the odd beauty haul, discovering her love for new products and her latest lifestyle spills :). Not only does her blog fill me with happiness, she’s one of my favourite people to have a good twitter-thon with. If you don’t know this girl – you should.


Okay – I have a serious envy of this girls make-up collection. She’s constantly reviewing the most amazing blushers, foundations and lipsticks – so if you want to know about a beauty product in detail, this is the place to be. Not only is she representing the best of the beauty bloggers, she’s also started her own youtube channelfeaturing new buys and reviews, you must go and take a peek. Not only am I the green eyed monster when it comes to her beauty knowledge, her OOTD’s that pop up here and there are just TOO cute, and she is a beauty to be hold. Most amazing skin ever? Check. What are you waiting for?

I hope you've enjoyed getting to know these ladies a bit better. I just want to say a massive thank you to them all for having their lovely buttons on my blog, it's been such a pleasure having them here :D

O´verlays love


I absolutely love O´verlays, I wrote about my O´verlays before. I keep checking them out and every time they have more splendid DIY make overs and IKEA hacks. Their customers have excellent taste and I appreciate the fact that thanks to O´verlays we can update a not so good looking piece or a plain ikea piece of furniture with little money and give it a designer look.



How about the above Ikea hack, O´verlays sells these thick Greek key corners to make the simple shelving unit so pretty. It´s the shelving unit called VITTSJO, costs 70 dollars.

Luxe Report Blog Feature


Have you stopped by the Luxe Report blog? They are total Palm Beach and diving in their blog from the North West is utterly refreshing! Christin & Lauren have seriously fabulous style, super genuine and majorly talented in all they do! I am especially fond of their furniture picks through out the homes, from vintage to modern. 








I once saw this brass/lucite vanity in a retro shop in Seattle seeing this it kills me that I didn't swoop it up. This is vintage at it's prime!


What an amazing nursery right? I just loved the detail and the makings of it all, and what a beautiful out come! What a lucky little boy.



Thank you for letting me share Christen & Lauren!

50 Random Facts About Me TAG! | Video

I’ve loved catching up on YouTube videos since I’ve been home, and my absolute favourite had to be the ’50 Random Facts About Me TAG’ that’s been floating around. As always, Esteé from EssieButton had me in stitches watching hers and I just couldn’t not give it a whirl.

I tend to be a bit more reserved regarding bits and bobs about me personally, but I thought it might be quite nice to share some of my oddities with you lovely lot. I know I love these sort of things, just because you feel like you get to know the person behind the beauty talk & posey fashion shots a little bit more :). I feel like I’ve made some really lovely friends through this whole blogging world, and I would love some of you to take part so I can get to know you all better too! I've tagged two fellow bloggers I know have YouTube channels :) Zoe of Zoenewlove and Charlotte from Lilmisschickas


It was quite tricky thinking of 50 facts though, I think I went a bit too far with the whole boxer shorts thing….no? ;)

Comfort is Key | Outfit Post

If you’ve been reading this little slice of online fashion junk for a while, you may have picked up on the fact that I don’t do tighty mc tighterson dresses very often. I’m just not really all that comfortable in them and spend the majority of my time pulling them down until they’re stretched out of shape! I am far happier to prance around in a loosely fitted number that doesn’t ‘hug’ me too tightly. I think classy casual has pretty much been my dress sense since I left my teens.
Lashes of London is one of my favourite stores and this dress felt like it was made for me. It’s neutral in colour (I don’t really do bold) so is perfect in my eyes. for any time of year. It has sequins, which helps to dress up any outfit and it’s wearable. By that I mean I could throw this on for near enough any occasion – a wedding, a night out, shopping. And that’s why I love it, because it’s totally versatile.
As always, I opted for the more casual approach. Teamed with this rather spiffing Zara hat (£12 in the sale, HOLLA), and my new Urban Outffiters boots it was perfect attire  yesterday for a spot of lunch with Daniel and his Nan :)

P.S it’s totally in the sale for £24, grab it whilst it’s hotttt & I'm pretty sure you can get 25% off items with the code: LASHES25 (you're welcome ;))

Loving Lulu & Georgia new harlow line

Lulu & Georgia posted their new rug collection Harlow, the other day on Facebook. I'm really loving this line, it's vibrant colors and patterns and most of all great price point (never hurts right?). In fact I'm going to be buying the Jaeda runner for my hallway at a steal of $119. For a 100% wool rug I'm happy with that!




I just had to spread the rug love :)

My Australia Haul | Zara, Topshop, The Body Shop & more!


I thought you lovely lot might want to see the bits I picked up :) the majority of it is clothes, but there are a few beauty products thrown in there too. Whilst I was in Australia I thought it was appropriate to spend all my spending money on clothes. Apparently, when you're abroad it doesn't matter how much you spend. (Please Note: I am now on a spending ban for the rest of life).
I really enjoyed filming again - it felt like forever! As always - if you have any particular requests for video's please do let me know :)

I'm currently still in bed - and not really sure I'm going to do much else than that today. I'm being a proper lazy bum. Fantastic Mr. Fox and a cup of tea, thank you very much.
