Something a little different today! Ali and I are currently house hunting (I thought my MA would be the most stressful thing I'd ever do, no - house hunting definitely beats it!) so this was the perfect event to go along to! Next Home invited some bloggers to tour their Holywood Exchange store last week. I love homeware, had to try to hard to resist buying more for my kitchen. I need all the surface space I can get, however I did indulge in my favourite item, lighting! I swear my fancy lights account for half of our electric bill.
I loved the bright colours, yellow especially. Is there a more cheerful colour?
Cone of shame lamp, amazing!
Miss GLB headed right to the Hello Kitty kids section!
Oh and I had to post the disco toilet seat, Dawn said she would laugh at me forever if I bought this. I was so tempted! In the end I went for this gorgeous Daisy lamp. Sorry for the packaging still being on, but I'm saving it for the new house! I may have to go back for that owl lamp. I'm also loving my Next diffuser - my living room has never smelled better!

I want to thank Next for allowing me to come along, they were so generous and spoiled us with champagne and food at the beautiful Merchant Hotel Belfast while we previewed their new advert. It's really nice to see brands visiting Belfast and throwing blogger events - so thank you next! I can't wait to raid the store when we find our new home.
oooh I'm doing this in Cardiff on Thursday, excited now :) I do like it when brands get out and about in the regions know as 'Not London' xx
ReplyDeleteLove the photos - esp the one of GL!! haha...she looks so happy with her HK stuff :) Was so lovely to see you on Wed and catch up. Amazing event - Next are so good to make the trip to see us. See you soon, Axx
ReplyDeleteI have never looked so happy! Your pics look gorge x
ReplyDeleteI love the bobbin lamp, it's been on my wishlist for ages as I would love it in my sewing room.
ReplyDeleteI also like the bees and the birdhouse lamp (is it a lamp). I have sort of stopped shopping at Next over the past few years as their clothes got boring, but I clearly need to go and check out the homeware section!
I LOVE the cone of shame lamp, it is so cute!

That 'cone of shame' lamp is just like this one >> http://www.howkapow.com/dog-lamp which I have lusted after for a while. But at only £30 the Next lamp might have to be my first new purchase from their catalogue!
ReplyDeleteSo cute,Hello Kitty！I also find this theme at gcmstore.com.
