Simple Styling: Bedroom Table
This week I thought I would share a little bit of my new home with a Simple Styling post. I have been in my own home for around 5 months - crazy how time flies. I still have lots to do and plenty of places to make my own, pictures up on the wall would be a great start! But I have managed to make a few spaces just how I want them.
My bedside tables for example got the finishing touches this weekend! I have been coveting this table lamp from Tesco for ages, I know who would have thought it would be from Tesco!! I saw them in store, then they were gone the next time I went in, they are sold out and also have been for ages online and so after a little trip via another store, I found them! They finish off my bedside tables perfectly and so that's why I am sharing.
Bedside tables are places where you keep all the useful and random bits of pieces that do not seem to fit anywhere else. I am lucky as I get to spread out over 2 tables and so this one is the prettier one! Hence why I chose to show it! If you look back on our Mythbusting Blogging post you will know that we keep the messy parts hidden, ha, ha.
On my table I have from top left; Bamboo and Jade bowl from Oliver Bonas - to keep all my hairbands in, Japanese Daruma Doll - present from a friend from Tokyo, Retro style clock from Joy (this was from a while back and so I found a similar one from NOTHS here), Table lamp from Tesco, H coaster - present from a friend (similar one here), Artist Palette necklace from Kate Rowland, Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs. The Bedside table itself is from Ikea (Brusali) and I changed the handles with some off eBay as I didn't like the black ones it came with.
I like to have collections of things towards the back of the table and so there is a nice clear space for not only bits and bobs, but also I think it makes a nice cleaner space. I am a person who if there is clutter around everywhere I can't think straight and so this helps to keep me calm.
Keeping the colour in a similar colour way is always good too. I have kept a bit of a theme in my bedroom and so it is easier to co-ordinate - plus it always helps when you can vary it around one of your favourite colours. What is your colour theme? Are you a clutter keeper on your bedside table. On my other side is my phone, notebook and pen - for those in the middle of the night ideas or worries and usually a drink of water.

Spanish Food Round-up
 |
| Photos are courtesy of recipe websites, see below for links |
First up is of course Paella, well it wouldn't be a trip to Spain without it! This recipe is from Taste.com.au and so wings it's way over from Australia, but it looked so simple I thought it had to go in the mix.
Next up is the start of the Tapas, I mean, who doesn't love tapas. I am looking forward to having some real Spanish Tapas, as I haven't really found any in the UK that quite hits the mark - any places I should try please do comment below.
So first up is this Mediterranean Feta Dip I found on Cookie & Kate and I think I may have just found a new food blog to follow, yummers.
Next, is the one and only Potatoes bravas, it's making me drool just thinking about it. This recipe is from Tesco's website - who knew they had recipes! Another one to add to the follow list!
and lastly for this post is a Spiced Tortilla, so easy to make and so yummy. These usually get made in my house on days where I cannot be bothered with anything too complicated, but when I have a few leftovers! This recipe is from the BBC good food blog, these guys never let me down!
What would be on your Spanish wishlist for food? I really found it hard to choose.

Love it: Christmas Jumpers
Bottom row L to R: Polar Bear from Asda, Understated in blue, white and red from Tesco, Snowmen from Vardagen via Etsy.
The Christmas Jumper has been seeing a revival over the last few years. Gone are the days of worrying about getting a Mr Darcy rudolph jumper, as sometimes the tackier the better! and, don't even get me started on onesies, but they seem to be in on the act too!
I was looking around at the Jumpers as I was going to take part in Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day, last Friday (what a way to jazz up Friday the 13th!). The ones above were a few of my favourites and so I thought I would share them with you guys for all your jumper needs.
In the end I decided to give the money I would have spent on getting a new jumper to Save the Children, rather than buying a jumper I didn't really need and only donating £1, I thought I would donate more, go me.
Those who did join in though looked amazing, you can check out the site here for a snapshot of what was worn and if everyone who did it donated £1, then I think Save the Children did very very well.
I love donating to Charity at Christmas as a very worthy cause gets some extra cash and I do get the feel good factor myself. My family and I do small gifts and then give to charity and so every year I look at a different charity, whether that be home or away.
What's your favourite feel good factor about Christmas? I know people who help at Shelter and Crisis every year and I used to run an event for older people who would normally be on there own on Christmas Day, which without the volunteers really wouldn't have happened, so there is plenty of feel good factor out there too.
