Game of Thrones Season 5

via Pinterest

If there's one thing that people know me is that I have the biggest Game of Thrones obsession going. I'm completely obsessed and I know I'm not the only one who loves Westeros and Jon Snow. As it's becoming one of the best TV (I would argue the best) shows around, I thought I'd compile this little list together

Wednesdays Thoughts - Mental Illness

via Pinterest

There's a lot of posts going around in the Blogosphere about mental illness and depression which personally, I think is amazing. Mental illness has a horrible stigma around it and it's fabulous that we can all join in and help one another in our battles against mental illness. I'm a very lucky lady who doesn't suffer with this but I have a boyfriend who does. I've not seen a post which talks about the people, family or friends who have a friend who suffers and how they can help. It's a terrible illness to battle as the sufferer but it's also hard for the people who love you and don't have a clue what's going on.

Unexplained absence

Firstly, I want to say I'm sorry.

As a brand new blogger in the blogger world, it's not good to disappear a bit straight away. I've felt really bad about it. I've got my brain swimming in ideas for posts and photos but there's one thing that's got in the way

Meet Rufus - my Tibetan and West Highland terrier cross. He's 13 weeks old and he's the new love of my life (move over G). Me and boyfriend have been planning to get a dog for the best part of a year now but I wanted to wait until the weather was a bit brighter. It's absolute hell toilet training a dog in November when you can't see a thing. We found him and we fell in love with him. We travelled 3 hours through country roads and roadworks to get the little guys and it's safe to say we're besotted with him.

He's as good as gold but has a cheeky side. He already knows where his treats are kept and can also climb out of his pen. As much as I love him, it is hard work trying to balance a full time job, puppy momma, blogger and girlfriend. He requires so much of my time, especially as he isn't allowed out yet, that it's difficult to sit down write, edit, take photos, take part in Twitter chats, promote and read other blogs with a puppy stamping all over your Macbook and wanting to play fetch.

My hats are off to the full time mum and dog mum bloggers who manage to do both. If you have any tips on how to balance it out, please do let me know.

Crafts & Cake

A little while ago, I had a reunion with two of my best girlfriend’s from University. We often meet up every couple of months to catch up, dress up and drink lots of gin. We decided to meet up in London to go to the theatre but as I was a little under the weather, my friend introduced me to this little beauty.

Spring cleaning the fadulous way!

As our 'Pin-tresting your home' post was so popular we thought we would follow it up with the latest spring fads for your home. This spring there is one word that sums up everything fad, that word is Yellow. 

As spring cleaning season is in full swing, so is the need to blow out those cobwebs with a new fresh feel for your home. The latest fad helping you to do this is every tone of Yellow. Tones of yellow can be seen from sofas to candles, this colour is appearing in every home range.

Yellow,Yellow ......Yellow!

To get your spring re-style of with a real yellow bang, and if your are feeling particularly flash with your cash, DFS have some beautiful sofa ranges such as the Milly sofa range and the Corinne sofa range. These ranges are bound to add a organic yet feminine touch to your living room. However, as the lowest prices starts at £399, maybe just a few yellow touches will have to do. 

Keeping with the sofa theme, without spending hundreds, cushions are of course the best way to restyle and refresh your sofa. George, at ASDA, have some super cute yellow cushions. From monochrome butterfly designs to green and yellow tartan, only starting at £8.00, they are a must H&M are doing some cushion covers with stripy and zizag yellow designs starting at only £3.99, all you have to do is provide the cushions, up-cycling win! For those added finishing touches Yankee Candle have provided us with some elegant yellow Grand Bazaar candle holders and George makes our mantel pieces look even more darling with their  range of  pictures frames, and vases all based on bees! Don't forget to add some spring time daffodils!
have! If you are looking for even more of a bargain,

In the Kitchen black, white and yellow has really taken of and Wilkinsons kitchen range really lead the way, from their Denby style back and white Carnaby plates to the yellow kettle helping you to make that cuppa feel even brighter. Wilkinsons have even gone one further and brought out some stylish back, yellow and white wallpaper to make your dinning room a spring haven!



Just in case you wanted to add a little more spring to your humble abode, the bedroom ranges have also followed in the footsteps of yellow! Next are advertising a Bright Geo bed set which balances a sense of manliness and femininity (for all those ladies to have to share boudoir with their other half). Geo symmetric rugs from IKEA add to that spring feel alongside inventive lighting ideas like the  Habits Tommy desk lamp. You can sleep well in the knowledge that your house has been totally revitalised!






Of course I not suggesting that your yellow-up every room in your house (unless you really like yellow), I myself have chosen to revitalize my living room with the ideas in this post! Key colours that I have found really complement this fad are grey, whites, blues, greens and woody tones. With that in mind I hope this has helped you to brighten up your home in time for the glorious spring!

Don't forget to leave us a comment on how it went!    

Behind Fadulous

We've been on the Blogosphere for a few weeks now so we thought it was about time we put our faces on the world wide web and tell you a little bit more about us

We met at University and became friends at a New Years Eve party in our first year of University. We got hideously drunk and instantly knew we'd be good friends. We regularly started to meet up and we pretty much lived together at some point! Our friendship grew and although we live a good couple of hours away from each other, we're the type of friends where times doesn't matter.

Pinterest-ing Up Your Home

I often go to people's homes and look at the way they decorate and just think, 'This is sooo Pinterest' or 'This is sooo Tumblr'. There are wonderful storage ideas, motivational and inspirations quotes on the walls and fairy lights decorated all over the place. They look stunning and it makes me want to turn my abode into a Pinterest home and giving it a good old fresh look. I would love to transform my spare room into a sanctuary and my stairs into a bookcase full of classics but unfortunately, there's only so much I can do without upsetting my landlord and breaking the bank, so I'd thought I'd share my tips on the little things I've done to brighten up the place
