Up In Lights
Can we just take a second to appreciate these incredible initial lights? Talk about seeing your 'name in lights'. The wonderful team over at Up In Lights were kind enough to send me my very own light initials. I absolutely love them! Surely this counts as minor celebrity status in my own home right? They are even wall mountable! Amazing!
I suggest that you too, probably need these in your life. Head over to their Instagram to check them out @weareupinlights
Thanks so much for reading and have a gorgeous day!

Ace Hotel, Shoreditch
What is it like?
Cool, laid back, indie and 'vibey' are the words I'd use to describe the Ace. I felt relaxed the minute I dragged my suitcase over the threshold. There's the coolest area for Macbook users to sit and connect/write/be generally creative in the reception area (although I'm quite sure 'reception area' isn't the coolest way to describe it). They even have a restaurant attached called 'Hoi Polloi' and my goodness, I had the breakfasts of all breakfasts there the next morning! Full on pancake mayhem! Oh, and a perfect coffee.
The Bedroom:
The bedroom was bursting with inspiring design hacks and the best of it was that you could purchase everything in the room if you so wished! Half of my room was dedicated to a sit and chill area compete with some coffee table books. So naturally, I sat with a brew and had a flick through the books. I slept under some incredible selvedge denim bedding (more comfortable than it sounds!) and sunk into a heavenly mattress. Obviously, the bedroom was en suite and the bathroom was super industrialised with heavy metal notes and off white tiles.
Let's put it this way, If I could redesign my home, it would be based on the incredible interiors of the Ace Hotel.
I hope you enjoyed the review and make sure you check them out!

Inside my bedroom and my head
Here, you see my pride and joy! A bedroom of my dreams that my family helped me to turn around in less than two weeks after being thrust upon my family home again after five years since moving out. I won't bore you with the details, besides, my anxiety post was as deep as it comes and I don't want to make a habit of it, but I'll give you the idea... My boyfriend of six and a half years and I split up and moved out in the space of a few hours three weeks ago. Yes, it's about the lowest I've felt and yes, it hurts like nothing I've ever experienced and leaves me feeling numb all at the same time, however, it is getting better and I know it will continue to get better. Some of you already know and have been amazing, and I know I'm not alone in this because most of you have already been where I am, so thank you so much.
Anyway, back to my bedroom of dreams. In light of my current state...I wanted to make my bedroom somewhere that was a cry-free zone, somewhere I looked forward to spending time, a place to make sure I rested, and most of all, very, very BRIGHT. I chose white and grey with pops of monochrome and gold to keep it simple and translate my style and all of the things I love into one space. Mission achieved! because I can't tell you how much I love spending time in here, it's my little sanctuary of peace.
Thank you so much for reading, and for all of your lovely messages. You don't realise how much they have helped me.
