My Muji Drawers
... & Makeup Collection
 
 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
So lets break this down:
 
Acrylic Storage: on the left: 10 in total
 I have 4  x 2 drawers wide found *here* £10.95 - as from DEC14
1 x  2 drawers wide with a flip lid found *here* £11.50 - as from DEC14
 
Acrylic Storage: The rest of the bunch, middle and on the right: 12 in total
I have 4 x 3 drawers narrow - these were from TKMAXX but similar ones can be found *here* £7.95 - as from DEC14
 
Brush holders: Pink, blue and purple
These are from a store called B&M in the UK. These were 3 for £4.99. They are originally plant pots but they are super cute for makeup brushes.
 
Brush holders: Clear Glass
These are from a store called TIGER. Theyre based in the UK and im not too sure as to whether they are worldwide. However you can find these clear  glass tubs anywhere! In your local DIY, HOME store. These were £1.99 each. For an extra bit of detail, try adding some colourful pebbles, stones, gems to the pot. Because its clear it can really jazz up the room as well as creating a firm base for your brushes to sit into.
 
Yankee Candle: Snowflake cookie
Well, any store that sells Yankee candles! This was from Debenhams and they had a sale so I purchased this for around £12.99. It's THE best!
 
Flowers:
The vase and flowers are all from Dunhelm Mill. Again im not sure as to whether this is only UK based, but you can pick and choose the ones you like. They add a beautiful touch to the room.
 
The first order I placed with MUJI, the flip top drawer was broken due to the screws falling out and the side of the drawer breaking off. MUJI were kind enough to let me keep that one and they sent another one to replace it for free. They also contacted me back within 2 hours. I haven't gotten round to fixing it yet, but because it has another drawer stacked on top, its supporting the position and its fine to pull the drawer out to reach for the products. (all It needs is some hot glue and its ready to go!)
Now lets talk about what's in my storage!

VITSTYLE Collaboration: A Casual Chic Autumn*

VITSTYLE Collaboration: A Casual Chic Autumn*

Hey loves! - I was contacted by a company called VITSTYLE, and a lovely lady called JAN on their behalf. They're based in Hong Kong and offer the most beautiful selections of clothing and accessories. I was lucky enough to be sent 5 items, to which will post the related links to below. I will be doing a general review, note any other items that weren't from VITSTYLE, along with a few outfits put together based around the concept of a casual autumn.
 
For me when it comes to autumn I am in casual mode for the few days because for me it's about being relaxed and comfy, warm and stylish at the same time. The items from VITSTYLE create the stylish edge to my outfits.
 
PRODUCT QUALITY: 4.5/5
DELIVERY TIME: 4/5
(took about 7 days, which Is expected from HK)
PRICE: 4/5
COMMUNICATION: 5/5
UP TO DATE ON TRENDS: 5/5

SNAKESKIN BACKPACK: CLICK HERE
CREAM LONGHAIR SOFT JUMPER: CLICK HERE
CARDIGAN: CLICK HERE
SCARF: CLICK HERE
 
 
 
 
RACERBACK STYLE TOP: PRIMARK £3.00 SALE.
I wanted to focus on the cream backpack here as It's a statement piece. It's such good quality with it's thick semi matte material, and neat detailing. It could give designers a run for their money! I love the nude colour as it can oddly jazz up an outfit. You can also wear it on your wrist, or of course, as a backpack. It's so great for school/college/work as you can fit folders, and any other belongings in here. I will use mine primarily as a fashion piece.
 
 
From the two bags, I had worked it so that the pattern bag would match with the plain coloured jumper, and the plain coloured bag would match with the pattern cardigan to simply balance out the patterns. This cream long hair jumper is so soft, silky, beautiful and warm I am madly in love. It's perfect for the autumn as it gives you enough warmth to battle the odd weathered season whilst looking good at the same time. The long hair jumpers are key trends for AW14. It looks super cute with leggings, jeans and even a denim skirt!
 
 
I was sent this absolutely stunning blue/green tartan scarf. It's incredibly thick and warm and works perfectly with the long hair jumper for that extra chic autumn look. Of course keeping in with the casual theme, it adds that extra statement asset to a simple outfit. It would look beautiful with brown ankle boots!
 
 
Ok... The bag you will either love it or hate it and I ABSOLUTELY love it! I wouldn't say im obsessed with snake skin (its not real don't worry) but it's definitely a trend im warming to, and I think it will make a comeback in the near future. So what better way to be ahead of the trends with this beauty. It's so simple and chic and can be worn on the wrist or as a backpack. I love the gold zips as it really gives it that va va voom factor! Again, like the cream backpack, its such fantastic quality!!
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
The cardigan is so thick and warm I literally think it could put high end brands to shame! I cannot get over how fantastic the quality really is. This cardigan looks super chic yet casual with a pair of dark denim jeans (like I've worn) and the cream backpack just evens everything out but really draws attention to the detail in the cardigan. a MUST HAVE for AW14!
 
 

 

I did pair my outfits with these shoes as again they stick with the casual chic autumn theme, but still have a gorgeous statement asset to them. They are a dusky pink colour and are from PRIMARK at £12.00. They also come in black and brown. 


 
 MIDI RINGS: PRIMARK £3.00
 
I paired all the items with these rings as they are very autumn appropriate and add that finishing touch to the outfits.
 
FINAL THOUGHTS: I was so surprised at the quality of these items. They really are designer quality, for a serious fraction of the price. VITSTYLE remain bang on trend with their added pieces to their collection. Their pieces are incredibly unique and beautiful. You WONT find these on the high street. The handling of my parcel was very fast, and took only around a week to arrive to my door which is rapid considering it' from HK. I cannot fault VITSTYLE on their communication as  they were very quick to reply, friendly, approachable and helpful.
 
VITSTYLE have a unique quality which will be incredibly popular and will take the fashion industry by storm.
 
I want to say a huge thank you to Jan and VITSTYLE, as they have really spoilt me. They have sent me beautiful clothing that I cannot say thank you enough for.
