Matalan AW Collection

Matalan AW Collection

Matalan may stock knitwear for my gran, but they also stock some really on trend items. Having a look through their AW collection there is loads of stuff I need to get my hands on. Their shoes are just stunning. The glitter loafers are first on my radar and then I want to stock up on some of their scarves being so afforable being around £5/£6. I've had a few of their handbags previously and tons of their jewellery. So I'm going to venture into their clothing range. Anything you like from their Autumn/Winter line?

My Bunny, Beau and Theodore

I've been nagging my boyfriend constantly for the last few weeks to get a bunny. I've always wanted one since I was litle, but with having dogs we weren't able. My boyfriend finally gave in and I've ended up with two dwarf lop eared rabbits! The other is my sisters though, but is going to live at mine. Although, they are dwarfs apparently they get pretty big and I wanted a big fluffy rabbits that is fine.  They prefer to be in twos, just need to get them nuted so they don't fight. I would love to have my bunny inside with me, but I have a puppy staffy and hyper fluffy bichon so it wouldn't be ideal. But I live on a farm so we have plenty of room in the garden and around our house. Their hutch is 8ft long so they are going to sleep in there, but are let out in the day in the garden. I've had them running around my living room tonight. They kept hiding under the TV stand. We had to trick them to come back out. My bunny, Beau doesn't move a lot while my sister Bekka's, Theodore is really hyper.
I literally have a family on animals now. But I love them.

If you saw some items in my previous posts of the stock and they aren't in stock give me an email at unobserved326@gmail.com and I will try and get them in stock again. Now I can relax abit, now the coding is right but I will still be making some tweaks here and there.

Un-observed is 2 years old

Un-observed is 2 years old this week, and it's gone so quick since I decided to write my first post. A lot has changed in my life in the last 2 years and so has my blog but I am still posting on my macbook which is 3/4 years old, i still sit for hours reading other blogs and watching youtube videos for hours on end. I got myself a new camera this year, the Canon 600D. I posted with a reliable Sony point and shoot before hand. I'm at a point where I am happy with the photos I post, but I want to be able to post more. I want to make my blog a lot more personal and take tons more pictures. If you had a look through my iPhone you would go on quite a journey.I want photos on my blog like them. I blog about lots of things from Beauty to Fashion to Interiors and Lifestyle - and I am going to continue to do that.
I've gained nearly 450 GFC followers and nearly 200 Blog lovin followers in the two years I have been blogging and I am very happy about that. I remember when I wrote my first post and felt like I was basically talking to myself, but I carried on untill I got people commenting back and now it just feels normal. I don't see my blog as a giveaway holding blog which just wants tons of followers in the hope of received free products. I like my steady blog, which reflects me. I would hate to look at my blog and think that it doesn't seem very 'me'.
Thank you to everyone who reads, comments and follows my blog and hopefully in a years time my blog will be even more like I want it to be.

Been a bit MIA lately, due to trying to get the website for my shop, Gift & pieces live. Just spend a couple of hours on the layout because I wanted to change one little thing and have now completely messed it up, so will have to wait till I'm home tonight. The phone line was put in at the shop yesterday, so there is now Internet and a card machine.

Got a few posts I want to do in the next couple of days sorted. My boyfriend has painted our kitchen, so want to show the transformation and do some inspiration posts. I've gone from a cream and brown kitchen to a grey one which my boyfriend thinks is blue. Well grey is a bluey white, right? But I love how brighter it makes the room look. Really want to make it nice and girly now. Then I may have a reason to be in there while cooking. I'm not the best cook!

I've been lusting after a couple of things recently, but my bank balance isn't helping. Think I will treat myself in a couple of weeks. My boyfriends 21'st birthday was last week. I ended up getting him a Michael Kors watch. Unfortunately, it has made me want a MK watch even more. May have to get one for Christmas as it is not too long away. Maybe I have my retail hat on, but I'm currently rushing around for ideas and stock for the shop at Christmas.
The storage draws from Ikea would be perfect stacked on my desk in the office. I need something to store all my jewellery findings, charms and beads in. I'm going to get a hook put up on my wall so I can hang the chain and hopefully make my desk workable.

All the autumn/winter clothing is coming out in the shops - and I can't wait to get into a over sized jumper and layer up. Saying that, we are meant to be having a really warm weekend in England. Going to be upto 28 degrees?! And, I am sat her suffering with hay fever.
The boots are steal from Select at just £18. I must get some. They have 15% off for students too. I've wanted both books for a while now, as well as the cleanse and polish. Think I need to finally get them. Really want to get some more Topshop makeup. The shades are so pretty. And finally, the Jonathan Adler candle stick is stunning. At £48, I think I will have to get it for a special occasion. (Added to my virtual Christmas list)

Hope everyone has had a lovely week...
