dreaming of....

So I have been a very naughty blogger and I haven't blogged properly for a few weeks, but let me explain why....

1. I went on holiday to see my family in Dubai, I will share some snaps with you very soon, I promise.

2. I went on my hen party to the York races and then a very messy night out in York Which resulted in me spending two days recovering...totally worth it though, I had a fantastic weekend. 

3. I have been studying for my end of year Open University exams. They are over now phewwww...and relax. 

4. Its 7 weeks till my wedding and everything has gone into wedding planning over drive. 

Okay so thats my excuses, am I forgiven yet? Well if not, surely a wish list full of pretty bits and bobs I would love for my little home will do the trick....I thought so.

How cute are all these little bits and pieces. 1. I having been meaning to pick up 'It' by Alexa Chung for so long, has anyone read it? 2. A home can never have too many candles. 3. I have fallen in love with this beautiful picnic set from Cath kidstone, come on Summer, hurry up I need some picninc weather. 4. I am in need of an electic blender, and naturally I like this pink one. 5. Love this vintage 'boudior' sign. 6. Finally these pretty pastel storage cases from Oliver Bonas would go just nicely in my hall way.

So that's what I am dreaming about right now. I promise to  get back into the swing of regular blog posts once again, pre warning though a few weeks before my wedding, I may well be an erratic, over the top bridezilla......Gary is a lucky guy.

Mothers Day Gift guide

Mothers Day Gift guide by emmalouise-1414 featuring Tiffany & Co.

Hello beauties, I hope your all having a good week. I foolishly tripped over my own ankle on Monday. I ended up going to hospital and after 4 hours I left with an egg shaped looking lump on my ankle, some beautiful crutches and strict instructions to rest. Well I am not one for resting, on day one I was so bored I was pretending my crutch was a sword (yes I am a very grown up 26 year old) and knocked everything off my coffee table. I decided to spend the rest of the week reading my old Harry Potter books to keep myself out of trouble. 

Anyway enough about me and my clumsyness, today I wanted to share with you my mothers day gift guide. Mothering Sunday is March 30th so you still have a few weeks to whip up something special for your Mum, but in case your really stuck for ideas I thought I would give you some inspiration.

I have based this on my gifts I know my own mummy would love.

1. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. I have always found with gifts this is a safe option nearly women has heard of 8 hour cream or has tried this cult products. So I have always found this has gone down well. 

2. Yankee candle. I definitely inherited my candle burning obsession from my mum, there is always a candle burning at her house and I know she is a fan of Yankee candles so she would love another to add to her collection I am sure. 

3. Clinque. My mum is obsessed with Clinque, her whole extensive make up collection is primarily clinque, I first fell in love with Clinque even better foundation after, 'ahem' borrowing hers. So I would imagine any kind of set will go down well. 

4. Lush, Lush always bring out a lovely spring collection with some Mother's day inspired gift. My mum loves a good bath and relax, although she cant stand the smell of Lush shops, its all just too much for her. She has always enjoyed the bits and pieces I have picked up for her.

5. This Tiffany's inspired mug is so cute. I hope one day I can afford to buy my mum something from Tiffany's seeing as she bought me my first ever gift in the little mint green box for my 21st. For now though I know this mug would make her giggle.

6. My mum loves baking (I am starting to think I am a lot more like my mum then I thought). So any kind of baking or recipe book will be much appreciated, seeing as she is always whipping something up in the kitchen. I have just been nibbling on some very yummy poppy seed muffins actually she made me as get well soon present. 

7. I don't know about yours, but my mummy is obsessed with loose tea, and well just any kind of tea in general and Harrods is one of her favorite places in London so I know she would love this.

8. Flowers, you cant go wrong with fresh flowers.

9. Along the same theme, I don't think you can really go wrong with a good box of chocolates either. My mum only likes dark chocolate, she says milk is too sweet...hmm maybe we aren't that similar. 

10. Finally Perfume, my mum is a fan of Jo Malone...she has good taste.

So there you have it my Mothers day gift guide. I am not 100% what I am getting my mummy yet. I am taking my Mum and Granny for Sunday dinner at my wedding venue which they are both very excited about, so I am really looking forward to that. 

Thanks for reading lovlies and what ever gifts you buy or what ever you do on Mother's day have a lovely day.
