Hiding ugly things

This is my beautiful silver mirrored glass pot collection. I have them dotted around my room and they look so beautiful and chic...little does anyone know what's inside them...

As a girl, there are lots of things you don't really want on show when your friends, boyfriend etc. are in your room e.g. your tampons, your sanitary towels, your condoms, your contraceptive pill - all in their bright, ugly packaging...I choose to hide them all in these stunning silver pots.

It keeps my private things hidden and keeps my room looking gorgeous without having tampons spilling out of bags or on my dressing table.

Job done.

Messy bed hair

I spend more time on my hair than anyone I know and as my natural hair is corkscrew ringlets, I usually straighten my hair as hard as I can with my afro GHDs to get rid of any trace of fuzz. To straighten my whole head of hair, it takes me about 2 hours!!!! No joke. I will quite literally put on a long film and sit in front of it straightening my fro an by the end I MIGHT be finished.

That being said, my favourite hair style is messy bed hair, quite literally sleeping on your hair when it's looking perfect and then voila...you're done.

It may not be to everyone's taste but I find that within reason, the messier and more casual the hairdo, the sexier.

Pretty sights and peony fairy lights

This autumn I have a slight (huge) obsession with silver mirrored glass. 

I can't walk past a silver mirrored pot or bowl without buying it immediately so now my collection has grown so big that my bedroom is basically a mirrored glass museum.

They can instantly add class to any room but they are extremely fragile and can shatter so easily so be careful!!

Here is my current collection accessorised with my pastel peony fairylights.

Mirrored glass large pot - All About Eve £16.95

Mirrored glass pumpkin pot - All About Eve £11.95

Mirrored glass small pot - All About Eve £14.95

Pink peony fairy lights - £6.00

White embellished mirror - £35.00

Pancakes, police cars and pink lilies

It's been an eventful few days to say the least.

I woke up bright and early to meet one of my favourite girls for an earlybird breakfast of pancakes, tea and coffee at a Brasserie down the road to fuel us for our day of work. On our way out, a cyclist got hit by a car in front of us. He was lying the road and no one helped; no cars stopped, no people came over, it was really surprising, but we ran over and helped him up and sat with him while the paramedics checked him over (we were allowed to sit in the back of the Police car and pretend to be criminals)!!

The next day, he arrived on our door with two beautiful bouquets of flowers and completely made my day.

Do good things and they will be returned to you

...in the form of lilies.

On the move...

As September starts, I move back to Norwich for my fourth and final year at university and move all of my furniture into my beautiful new student house...

Goodbye summer. Hello autumn.

Changing of the seasons

This summer was wonderful; full of sun, Pimms and strawberries. The english weather has been incredible and I have genuinely been able to get a real tan in England (with a liiittle bit of help from mr St Tropex spray!) But now as September starts it's time to welcome the next season and I cannot wait.

A/W fashion is my absolute favourite!

Big boots, long coats, fur everything - ahhhh I'm so excited.

This is the season for hot drinks, cuddles, walks in the leaves and movie days...

Bring it on.

So long summer, it's been lovely. Come at me autumn.

Happy Birthday Gibson Girl

One year ago today I sat down to my laptop on a rainy evening in Norwich and created Gibson Girl, a blog where I can voice my views on interiors, fashion, beauty, travel, food and life in general. One year on, on another rainy evening, I am just as happy and as excited to be writing this post.

This past year blogging as Gibson Girl has meant so much to me because it has really cemented my desire to go into the magazine industry and to hopefully become a successful editor in the near future!

Thank you for reading my blog and for encouraging me to keep going!

Love to you all!

Gibson Girl
