My Weekly Wish List #2.

It's time for my weekly favourites, I'm actually really enjoying these posts -even though this is only my second one!- I've been thinking about what to put in this all week, that's how much I've been looking forward to doing it!

This week I purchased some of the BarryM Gelly Hi Shines and I think they are amazing, their colours are incredible, it took me forever to choose which ones to get. In the end I only got 3, these were Blueberry, Papaya and Lychee. They are honestly my favourite nail varnish's around, hence why theyare on my wishlist as I want more! The colours shown here are Prickly Pear, Watermelon and Grapefruit, you can buy them from either Boots or Superdrug.
At first glance this will probably look really out of place on this wish list, but let me explain. I want to make some DIY above the knuckle rings using this, I also want to jewellery wire in silver and gold but to start with this gun metal would be perfect. To make these rings I will be following a tutorial from Nicole Guerriero's youtube channel, which you can find here. This can be got from any craft store but just due to laziness I found it on Amazon.   
Now, this is where watching American youtubers has it's drawbacks, you find out about great American clothing websites that you can't order from. But here's the catch, this dress is from SheInside which has free shipping worldwide, which is absolutely incredible! For only £25.68, it's also a fantastic bargain, toughen it up with a leather jacket and some cute heeled sandals and you're good to go. You can purchase this from SheInside with -I repeat free shipping-.
Also from SheInside, is this awesome Bart Simpson patterned denim shirt! I've never seen anything so cool in my life -I'm not even exaggerating with that statement-. It would look so cool with a pair of distressed black skinny jeans and some espadrilles, maybe even with a black bowler hat. You can get this here.
This cute little black dress from H&M, it is perfect for the Spring/Summer. For Spring you could layer under a leather or denim jacket, and to add some extra warmth pair with some heeled booties. In the Summer you could risk the no jacket look -hopefully, cause this is England- and show of the beautiful cut out back with the sort of aztec-style straps, a pair of simple flipflops or some some good ol' heeled sandals would be perfect with it. 
These shoes are my new love, hitting the floral trend and it my favourite style on shoe. I don't think I could actually find a better pair of shoes. If you where to find a pretty colour-block summer dress and match it to one of the colours in the shoes, for example orange, this would be a perfect summer look. These shoes are from New Look, and are a fantastic price of £27.99.
The last thing a have here is definitely my favourite of these things, I love the contrast of the aztec print with the leather lapels. Unfortunately it's very unlikely I will be able to buy this jacket as it is a rather expensive £99.99! Hopefully I'll come into some money and be able to splurge on this, if you want to purchase it yourself, you can get it from Zara

Hope you like the things that I've shown you, thanks for reading becciixx.

Some pretty room storage.

Recently I've been looking for some cheap ways to create some storage for my room, just to neaten things up a bit -as things were getting a bit craycray!- I found some really great things and I thought I'd share them with you and hopefully give you some ideas of your own! Most of these things where just lucky finds around the house or gifts from other people, but if I can I will try to find you some similar items!

This is what I meant by lucky finds, I found these in my boyfriends grandma's house and she kindly gave them to me, along with a few other cheeky things. I was so great-full for these as I had been looking for some pretty jars and they are actually quite hard to find! It's quite hard to tell in the picture but the white carousel spins around and has different sized compartments around it -which is incredibly handy!- These are also a bit tricky to find, but I found some similar things on ebay so check that out.

I also took a little box that previously contained a necklace and removed the fabric little holder, this is now perfect for earrings, ear cuffs and any other gems I have lying around. These can be found extremely easy from any shop that sells jewellery as they should sell some cute gift boxes!

I got this adorable jewellery holder from tkmaxx, for an absolute bargain of £7.99! I've found a variety of these on ebay but they were a lot more pricey. 

My rooms in a really dodgy place as the chimney runs right through it making this whole room space unusable -or so I thought...- These cute little shelves are perfect for giving me use of this space and to help de-clutter my room. You can easily pick these up at any furniture or DIY store to make use of a pesky corner!  
Lastly I cheekily took these jars from my dad's shed -he wasn't using them so why not, and obviously I asked him first- they are so handy, just used one for my pens and one for hair accessories. Again these are very easy to find or you could even use empty candle jars.

I'm still looking for a few additional pieces, such as a decorative mirror to place my perfume's on, some large vintage looking boxes to put some bigger items in and some more miniature cute little boxes.
Hope this has inspired a few of you, speak to you soon, becciixx
