Coming soon...

There are a lot of exciting things happening in my life very soon and of course I will be sharing them with all of you guys through the use of this amazing platform!

I am graduating from my Bachelor Honours Degree in Children and Young Persons with a 2:1 on 8th July 2013.

I am celebrating my birthday with all the amazing women in my family (and extended family) on the 12th July.

I turn 21 on the 13th July.

I plan to see Monsters Inc University, yes I am that much of a big kid, on the 14th July.

On the 16th July, my FiancĂ© and I are going to LONDON! 


For my family celebration I have the most gorgeous dress by the brand Forever Unique and as always I was very thrifty when thinking of the dress I wanted for my birthday celebrations as I knew Forever Unique is very expensive so I found a dress on eBay for a fraction of the price! 
It's very different, very girlie and very ME!

I bought some heels from Faith in Debenhams to go with the dress and you can buy them here where they are currently on offer for half price. 


I apologise for the stock photo. I need a new memory card for my camera and I haven't been out to get one as of yet. 
The shoes themselves are a very good fit and are really comfortable.
I have broad feet and generally find it difficult to find heels that fit comfortably and nice and these do just that.


I hope you enjoyed this little sneaky peek...


Thank you

Something is a little different...

Hi guys, 

I decided my blog needed to grow up a little bit and that it needed a good old design overhaul. 

I created a new banner, all by myself may I add (I'm very proud) and I changed the background, fonts and colouring of pretty much everything. 

I kept the pale pink as I fell in love with the colour when it was a party of my old design. If you are wondering the code for this colour is #ffcccc it's the most gorgeous powder pink. 

The biggest change has to be the name. If you don't agree with changing the name of blog's then I apologise but I needed to change it because I wasn't feeling happy with it any more. The name Just Miss Sarah is my twitter name and I feel like it gives the reader (you guys!) the understanding that this is me, my thoughts and it's nothing different to what I am like away from the blogging world.

I hope you like the change, please let me know below.
All of my old posts are still available and I do plan to blog a whole bunch more as there are a lot of exciting things happening soon! 



Thank you again, 

Sarah

I'm going to London!

Hi guys. 

I am very excited because I am planning a trip to London in July for my 21st Birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise but I am far too much of a control freak when it comes to planning holidays and trips that I had to take charge of the planning. The other half is just kindly paying! :P

We have chosen the hotel that we would like to stay in, it's nothing over the top fancy shmancy because we'll barely be in it! 

I am currently planning my shopping trips. I am going to to go Westfield, (not Stratford, the other one) Oxford Street, Covent Garden, Camden Market and just some random places in and amongst everything. 

We also plan to do the Warner Bros Studio Tour: Harry Potter, Madam Tussauds, The London Eye, London Zoo and maybe a few more things if we can fit them all in!! 

Now here's where I need your help!

If you can recommend any particular shops, places to eat, area's to shop in, products to purchase, places to visit then pleeeeeeeeeeeease let me know in the comments below or tweet me @JustMissSarah .


Thank You Guys!

Room Decor

Hi all. 

Just before Christmas my sister and I decided to redecorate our bedroom. We chose a vintage theme with modern elements to put a twist on the idea. 

We started by painting a minty green colour onto the main walls, the colour to me is really unique and I haven't really seen anything like it before. It was purchased from B&Q and unfortunately I cannot remember the shade, I know it was from the B&Q own brand of paint. 


This is the corner above my sister's bed. 


Next, we purchased wallpaper that we got our dad to put onto the chimney breast wall. However, he ended up putting it on upside down. Some people might think it looks awful but I really adore it and even it being upside down because it gives it a wonderful unique twist. 


The wallpaper was bought off of eBay however the seller does not hold this design any more. 


Another purchase off eBay, is the Harry Potter wall quote. (Type it into the search facility and you will find so many!) The quote perfectly describes the happy nature and positive outlook my sister and I have over life. 



One of the final main pieces of decor in the bedroom is the mirrors and photo frames which were bought as Christmas presents from a store called B&M. They stock all sorts of home decor items and when I saw these pieces I immediately fell in love. 

The first you've seen in the first two pictures. The white vintage looking photo frame above my sisters bed was around £4.99. The white photo frame clashes very nicely with the beech wood effect shelving and furniture within the room.


Secondly, the mirrors bought from B&M were around £9.99 and are still in stock at the moment. This is the large rectangle design, we also have the floor length version in the same colour and style. 


The white contrasts with the silver and black wallpaper really nicely. 

The final piece that was bought as a Christmas present for us was a chandelier from Argos. It was on offer for £39.99 and we got it in the blue (teal) shade. You can get it in a variety of colours from the current catalogue and online. Find it here for £34.98. 


It adds a real princess vibe to the bedroom and sticks with the vintage theme with a modern twist. 

-------------

Purchases I bought for the bedroom we're the Jolie Single Bed, from Argos. £74.99
It was easy to assemble and fits with the theme of the room perfect. It is a black theme with silver hardware. (this picture is provided by the Argos website)

I then bought the Maine Extra Deep Bookcase with Drawers in Beech finish for £59.99
This was to house my academic study books, perfumes, make-up and other trinkets. 
(the picture is provided by Argos website)  




 The final piece I have bought for the bedroom is the Malibu 3 Drawer Desk from Argos for £49.99
I got this because I felt like I needed somewhere specifically for studying. It is a large desk with ample room for text books, paper and a laptop computer to share the space. The mini bookshelves and drawers add to the desk for ample storage options.

I hope you liked this post and if you would like any more posts about my bedroom and storage I use then please comment below.
