Urban Outfitters Bedding

When I lived in Manchester I became slightly addicted to Urban Outiftters, and now my appreciation has spread to their homewares. I absolutely love their line of bedding - its romantic and kitsch, with vintage influences. I also think that the photography and set dressing are gorgeous, especially in the Romantic Floral Quilt image.

Here are a few of my favourites from the current collection...

 Romantic Floral Quilt - £95

Pip Studio Toile Duvet Set - £120

 Floral Divide Pillow Set - £25

 Peacock Duvet Cover - £65

 Ruffle Pillow Cases - £35

Cats Pillow Set - £30

And I am in love with this Scarf Print Curtain. I have absolutely no where to put it, and could probably find something similar a lot cheaper elsewhere (it's £30!), but I can't stop lusting after it!

When I grow up I want to be...

When I was 15 I wanted to be an interior designer.

I did the work experience and I did the AS but that's where it ended. I didn't really enjoy Art at A-Level and only achieved a D. I enjoyed it in the class room, and everything I produced was pretty good. But as soon as I had to take anything home it always looked like an impatient 5 year old had been let loose - and not in a good way. So I was faced with a choice - continue with the A2 and drop Business, or drop Art and continue with a subject where I was certain I'd get at least a B. And so my path was set and my career as an interior designer ended before it began.

It is one of my life regrets, although I'm very lucky not to have many. And the path I chose has taken me on some amazing adventures that I'm very grateful for. And hey, I'm only 25...
