Hello - I'm back!
Yes, it has been a while. I've just been struggling recently with a lack of inspiration + a bad cold that's kept me in my bed all week! However, I'm not complaining because a week ago I finally picked up some of the Cultiver linen from Letliv that I had been just lusting after for so long. I picked up the duvet in smoke grey + smoke grey and blush pillow cases and my goodness they are gorgeous. I didn't know weather I liked the feel of linen at first but now that I've had a few sleeps in it I love it so much!! I'm not sure what it is about me but I just can't stop changing my room and I never seem to be fully satisfied with it - which is why I hesitate to do things like room tours as I always feel like there's still a few more things I'd like to add to make it perfect.
It seems like in the last couple of weeks my aesthetic has changed quite dramatically, I would have considered my style to be predominantly monochromatic but lately it seems little pops of colour have been sneaking their way in. I have been loving yellows, oranges and greens especially and I can't wait to start adding more of them into my bedroom and wardrobe soon! I've had my eye on this, this and this.
This Aesop body cleanser I actually got for free at the Aesop store in Venice beach at the beginning of the year and it was only last week that I actually got around to using it and it was just so lovely. I forgot how much I love Aesop products and I'm so excited to hear that they have an actual store coming to Newmarket in Auckland!! Let me know if any of you have tried Aesop and what you thought of it as I know it's a little on the pricey side which did put me off for quite a while. I've also been kind of obsessed with painting my nails recently and enjoyed watching this video of Connor Franta painting his nails as I too painted my nails! + how pretty have Connor's Instagrams been recently!!?
As I've been playing around with the look of my room I've started sticking lots of interesting things on my wall with black washi, some posters, prints, tags, magazine cut-outs and even plants that before they inevitably die without water look really pretty. I've also discovered the power of greenery in my bedroom, it honestly makes such a big difference to the whole vibe of any space and I just love it. If you follow me on snapchat (bellafosterblog) you would've seen the actual jungle of plants that I brought the other day that are now sitting in various jars and bottles throughout my room (and the house) and making everything all green and gorgeous!
Well, for now I'm gonna try and focus on getting myself better so I can actually get out of bed as I have so many new and exciting things planned for this blog that I can't wait for you to see! As things are getting warmer and the sun is finally showing I've been noticing the prettiest dappled light all through the city and I can't wait for those warmer months where I can get out and start taking photos in the sun again!!
I hope your weekend has been good wherever you are and I'm about to go and make a rather large Asos order that will put a big dent in my bank account - so, until next time,
B.
