Indie please.

Apart of being a makeup and clothes addict, I'm also very good at interior design. Well, in my opinion. If you're reading my blog for a while, you might know that I done my Shabby Room; a post I did several weeks ago. Today, I decided to do my Indie Room. it's gonna be a living room.

I still live in my parent's house and I can't wait to move out and do my thang! But honestly, life is more complicated and here I am, in my old bedroom dreaming of my dream apartment. However, I'm a sucker for all interior design when I shop at Target, Walmart, Ikea, whatever stores as a furnitures and home decor hallways, don't look for me, I'll be there, mentally organizing my apartment. 

Let's get on with the inspiration, shall we ;)

Here's a list of everything I love to find in a living room, a place where your personal touch should be all over the place, where guests spend most of their time in, where your personality is exposed. This is why I love the living room, it can tells a lot about a person!

Bookshelf filled of books, wallpaper, photo frames, colourful sofa, banners, lights, green, orange, blue, navy, mint, mustard, old furnitures, origami, fresco, frames, things on the wall, mirrors, service tea set, more books,  flowers...

I love the colour of this love-seat sofa. It's a small sofa so it's perfect for alone people in apartment. It doesn't take a lot of room and doesn't fill the room like a giant piece of rock. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but it suits my indie mind pretty great! Find this yellow love-seat sofa for 329$!

And what is a sofa without pretty cushions? I love mismatched style, and indie is very great for that! So I'll put a bit of green and blue with the pretty orange! One of each! The patterned one is 12,99$ and the plain green one is 4,99$ both from Ikea!

I believe coffee tables are underrated! It is a very important piece in a living room! Where do you put your coffee on? Your books or magazines? Candles? Do I need to go on? Here's a pretty classic coffee table in wood from Ikea, 149$. I love the minimalist style but like I said, indie is all about showing off your person through objects! I'm a massive magazines eater, my favourite; Vogue, so I'll put a pile of Vogue under this table. Talking about Vogue, subscribe to Vogue for £19,99 receive 10 issues plus a free Perricone MD no. Concealer ;)

I'm also a sucker for candles and fake plants and all these weird objects you don't really need but love to look at. I'm a plant killer, I don't have a green thumb so I'm all about fake plants. This little two Masson jars with cute flowers are pretty and totally in sync with the colours and style I'm working with. Isn't these glass jars on trend anyway? Find these on Home Decorators for 26,25$! I'm also in love with candles, especially those from Bath & Body Works, they always sell the best scents! Light these babies up, it smells ridiculously good in a trice! These candles in a jar are perfect for my indie living room, so two candles should be enough to fill the room with a magic scent! Find the orange Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin &  white Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candles for 12,50$ each at Bath & Body Works!

Beside, where do you put all of these on the coffee table? In a tray, of course! I found one very pretty but quite expensive, the Gardener's Tray from Home Decorators for 51,18$! ouch! 

When it comes to lights, I think floor lamps are the best, the one I found is from Ikea and the lamp shade is very 70's, so I think it suits my inner indie very well, plus this isn't an expensive light, only 59,99$ on Ikea. When I saw that rug on Ikea, I literally fell in love with the pattern and the colour, these two combined make the whole a very cool 70's inspired rug, just like the lamp, here you did great Ikea! This rug is 199$!

Bookshelf is the most important thing to me. I want two of these aside, fill with books! Am I the only one to think that a bookshelf has a lot of personality. I'm on the nerd side, I love books, old and new ones. You can see mine fills with books and movies...and shoes on the last shelf ;) This one's pretty basic, it's from Ikea, cheap and cute, 39,99$! I'd die to have a book room, just, how freaking amazing it is?!

I don't watch a lot of T actually, I do but I'm pretty much a pirate, looking all these exciting movies and series through the ocean of the web! We all know, Tv is expensive, I mean channels and stuff, so, I'll just have one to... in case, we never know. Anyway, here's a little square to put a quite Tv and a Tv/DVD combo, 19,99$ and 218$, Ikea and Walmart, pretty simple and cheap huh?! And for the curtain I'd chose chose some white curtains, I've already put a tons of colours every wear! Ikea sells some very cool whity-creamy curtains! 14,99$


So, the rest of the stuff isn't very usual to shop in Walmart, Target, Ikea or whatever home decoration stores. So, I'll just put the images and maybe some DIYs just in case you're interested into these kind of indie decorations!

Pennant banners are the main source of this idea. The first time I saw these hanging in a living room, I don't why I was impressed! Who though bringing the carnal to home was a great idea is a genius! I think it makes the room happy, colourful, cute! You can put a banner upon your sofa, your window, all round your room if you want to! If you think Pennant banners are pretty and want to make some, here's a DIY from The Thrifty Abode!

What's a 70's living room without the Polaroid photos?! I love Polaroid a bunch and most of all what it can create, one shot, what's today's is more of a, take hundred shots and wait for the good one. Polaroid gives us no choice, this is the one! You can either hang them here and there with a tread and some cool clips or stick them on the wall and create a pretty heart shaped mosaic!

So, that's pretty much it for my indie inspiration room! ;) Tell me what's your favourite item from this article, do you like indie style, if not what's your thing?! 

Thanks for all your comments, I read them all and I'm also glad to read your blog! I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it a lot! xx

Get the look of... CARA DELEVINGNE!

Hello everybody!

How's going? Are you enjoying your fall season? I can't wait for halloween, let me know what's your plans on Halloween and what costume you'll chose? For my part, I'll be a surgeon from Grey's Anatomy! (Dr.Stevens) ok, I know I'm not even half beautiful like Katherine Heigl, but hey!

Anyway, today's post is a 'get the look of Cara Delevingne!' post. I know lots and lots of people are looking for her messy edgy street style look. Yet, Cara stays very feminine in her look. She can pull off a tomboy look and make it look so girly! With her long hair and her pretty greeny-bluy eyes. I love her strong face and I think, like almost everyone else, that she is very beautiful. She has this versatile face when you can make her look very boyish or elegant like a princesse. Just look at her face at the Cannes Festival, flawless! So, without further due, let's begin with our first style!

This look is very settle for our Cara, yet very office-like. I love the colour of these trousers. I tried to find some fall look and I realized Cara mostly wear long and layered outfits. Maybe it's because she's mostly in London and Nyc, I don't know, but this makes sense to me. Anyway, this style is very easy to pull off and to make it more grungy you add this cap and boots and here you go. Cara is well known to get involve with a lots of caps and beanies! So for all beanies lovers here, Cara is with you! The blouse she wears has a low v cut, I think it makes it looks more femme fatal. To point out the grungy of the cap, she has some very lovely leather lace up boots. A big leather bag hanging on her right shoulder to make it more casual. So, let's see what I have found on the internet to make this lovely style!

If you've been reading me for awhile now, you might know that my first source is always Asos, I find everything on there! I know they sell everything I'm looking for because, they're literally the best! So, I manage to find some very similar, if not to say identical, trousers. This colour is very on trend for the fall season so, according to this price tag, I don't know what you're waiting for to get them and rock this Cara look! Find these Asos Peg Trousers for 33,76$!

As for the white blouse, it was a bit harder to find one similar. You might think how come since white blouse are very on trend but this one Cara's wearing is very special, I bet she wears some high end brand but I can't tell which one. The fabric seems thick, more like a blazer shape, or a men's kind of blouse. The V cut is even more unusual and the collar is very long, so somehow I manage to find something that is not sheer! I got this very cute Lauren by Ralph Lauren Aaron Cotton Poplil shirt for 69,50$. A bit expensive but it's the more alike blouse that I found. 

I'm not big on caps, I'm more into felt hat or you know these kind of girly hats. Cara somehow makes me want to like these boyish headwear. She rocks them a lot either beanies or caps. So, finding that one was easy as I just needed to google the 'IMA READ' and I found some online. Find this cool Zebra Kats cap IMA READ for £39!  

To keep it up with the cap, Cara has some mid-lenght lace up boots. Black and leather is always a most have in our wardrobe. I was looking at Aldo because I know they have tons of fashion boots, somehow, I find my happiness on Asos, once more! They look a lot alike and I can't tell how's Cara's are on the behind but I found these New Look Besto Black Studded Lace Up Boots for 56,25$. 

As you can see from the picture, it's very hard to describe her bag, all I can say is that it's a pretty big one. Black leather and can be wear across the body. It almost looks like an oversized messenger bag. The leather suits the boots perfectly. I found on Aldo the Lesengo bag that has everything I can see from this picture. 55$! 

The next looks is very stylish and the check pattern of the coat is on trend right now so keep your eyes open for these! I love disco-leather pants, they're so easy to wear and I love the one Cara's wearing, the inside detailing is very lovely.  She rocks a kind of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, I can't tell for sure but it looks a lot like some of his creation. A very large and rectangular bag to suits the black of her pants and shoes. A white blouse or shirt tuck in her pants. I know it's gonna be hard to find a white shirt because I can't see well hers so... let's see what I've found!

Her jacket is obviously one of a kind. I did not find the exact same one but I did found that one. And the check pattern is the master piece to me. As long as the coat is not too long from Cara's, with the check you got the idea of this look. Also, the oversized collar did not make it easier. Anyway, the one I got is from Asos, and the leather sleeves are very on trend, it suits marvellously the black leather pants and the shoes and the bag. So, although it's not the exact same one, it doesn't bash off the Cara style I'm trying to re-do! Find the River Island Leather Look Check Coat on Asos for 75,02$!

Her leather legging are also very on trend this year. It is so easy to pull off a style with disco, leggings pants. Cleraly, if you don't have a pair in your wardrobe, you're missing out here! As for it, it was easy to find some very similar. Again, Asos gave me the opportunity to find some very cool and cheap pair! The only thing I'm not sure about would be the fact that we can't tell how they're made on the belt area. Anyway, find these awesome Daisy Street with PU Panel on Asos for 33,74$ only!

It's very hard to describe her shoes. It's clearly some platform pump shoes, but I can't tell for sure about it. So, I went on SoleStruck to find a pair of Jeffrey Campbell, and I chose what I thought looked a lot liker hers from the front view. You can get these crazy Cleata Jeffrey Campbell for 159,95$!

As for the bag, very hard to describe, I simply chose one I thought would suit the whole outfit. Leather black, rectangular and with a touch of Cara. This bag has a studded side, but the studs are very settle, they're not the the usual silver pyramid studs. You can find lots of these on Asos or Aldo.

For the shirt, she's wearing either a white blouse or a white tee. I like to think that this is a white tee as it make the whole look more casual. I found on Topshop a panel white shirt I thought would suit the deisgn of Cara's legging perfefly. You can find that Textured Panel Tee on Topshop for £38.

I found the next look really cool and very Cara if Cara can be an adjective! I love how casual yet very on trend this simple outfit is. She wears a pair of jogger in grey, a cropped normal oversized top, some very weird boots that I'm sure it's gonna be hard to find, a motorcycle jacket, a black beanie and a very big black panel bag. So let's see what I got....

I found some jogger on Asos. The colour is a bit more light than hers but I feel like joggers are very new. I never saw them before, it's not like these sweat pants, it basically has the same fabrics but the shape and all is very different. I never been one of those girls who loves sweat pants, yet I find these jogger trouser very cool on Cara. I seem to be obsess with the word cool and Cara... anyway, you can find these Peg Jogger on Asos for 56,27$.

Since I saw Lana Del Rey rocking a leather coat, I thought that they were obviously awesome. I'm not ready to say that I'll got myself one because it doesn't suit me at all but if you and Cara share the same kind of style, well, I just have to say, go for it! They look badass! The one I found is very similar to Cara's. The sleeves look the same, it's clearly not the same one but it looks very similar. This Leather Bike Jacket is 168,80$ from Asos, a bit expensive, I guess it's real leather, you can find faux leather on Asos if you search a bit ;)

The shirt I found is pretty much the same except that it is longer than Cara's. This is pretty much a basic, so any white tee would be alright with this kind of outfit. Not too much because the master piece is obviously that motorcycle vest. So, don't beat yourself to much, just a simple white tee is fine. This is an Asos Forever T-Shirt, 22,51$!

Cara's boots has three buckles. I found shoes and bags very hard to find as it can be very specific and unique. I have found here some boots and I chose them because it has the same shape and the buckles plus I thought the pattern suits the one from the ride coat on the sleeves. Cool isn't? Get these River Island Ridged Rider boots on Asos for 84,40$!

According to the picutre, I think Cara is wearing a cuffed black beanie, I found one from American Apparel on Asos, here the Beanie for 31,88$!

Cara rocks a lot of black leather, wheter it's boots, bags, pants or vests. So, keep your eyes open for the leather ;) I came up with a black leather shoulder bag, very big with two straps, a short one and a longer one. I find the same kind of pattern on the bag that looks like the jacket. The bag has faux suede sides and I think it's a very gorgeous bag! Look for the Faith Zig Zag bag on Asos, 84,40$!

I think we can all agree that Cara is beyond beautiful, she can rock whatever piece of clothes, I will always think it suits her brilliantly. She can be very girly or tomboy, we love our Cara whatever she puts on her pretty head or whatever faces she does ;)
