when interior turns art

There's something ethereal and captivating about a well put together room.

Whether it's aligned through colour palette, theme, trinkets, or a peaceful feeling, interior design and home decor can completely change the tone of a room.

I'm a total sucker for beautiful interiors, especially anything that features white, glass, succulents, and elegant shapes. I am the kind of person who is a huge trinket collector - I love to pick up little treasures and objects from new places as memories to decorate my room; like an iron key from Larnach Castle when I visited Dunedin last year, a piece of quartz I spotted whilst standing at the base of the Franz Josef Glacier. 

I have a stack of beautiful magazines by my door, I have succulents growing by my window, I have my books lining my shelves, and my make up arranged on display. My interior is very important, and I love tending to it.

This weekend I added a few new pieces to the interior - a glass bell jar, a lamp, and a new decal for my laptop.

I love the simplicity of glass, white, and marble. In my bell jar, I have added my quartz pieces from the glacier as a feature piece on my bedside table.

In addition to this, I have also put together a number of my interior art favourites below. They feature items from Mecca Maxima, kikki.k, Target, and Kmart.

goodies & jolie & deen

Welp, needless to say January has been an exciting/splurge month.

I finally picked up the Bailes candle by Diptyque, and the NARS Pressed Powder in 'Desert' from Mecca Maxima (also how exciting is it that Urban Decay is going to be in Mecca stores in late March I am SO EXCITE).

I have seen every trendy person and their mother with a Diptyque candle and I love the scent of the Bailes candle, so I went and picked up one for myself online from Mecca; I procured my NARS Pressed Powder on my recent trip to Mecca a few weeks ago and I'm really excited to road test it.

I also upgraded my phone to a 6 Plus, and it is glorious in all his bigness.

Lastly, I can across a beautiful boutique called Jolie & Deen. I've seen a handful of bloggers with some of their pieces and after sussing out the store (and spending far too much time being slack jawed at their jewellery collection) I picked myself the Bow Cuff and was so tickled to receive it in the mail. The shipping was super quick and it came packaged in a beautiful box and satin pouch to protect the bangle.

I love the simplicity of the lines and how wearable it is. I love matching it with a clean crisp button shirt, black jeans & flats - very easy to wear. I was happy with the price of the bangle and its postage was very reasonable for the quality of the piece.

Be sure to check them out.

holiday wish list

It's that totally joyous time of year again, and as the holiday season fast approaches, I love looking at all my saved wishlist items and pretty much staring at them adoringly for long periods of time (wait, you guys don't do that? Huh... must just be me! Joking, everyone does it.)

This wishlist is a combination of fashion, beauty, and things for the home. My biggest wish on my wishlist is the Rae Morris Magnetic Brush Starter Kit. I saw beauty Youtuber Chloe Morello review a number of the Rae Morris Magnetic brushes and I was just frothing at the mouth (sorry, that's totally gross) over these amazing brushes, and how clever it was to have them be magnetic to display and store them. I have one of Rae Morris's make up books and it helped me so much in learning about make up, and tips & tricks, so I'm keen to at the very least try out her brushes.

What's on your wishlist?
