Candlelight..

I was on the look out for Yankee Candles out here and came across some but with a hefty price tag, they are a bargain at home in comparison!

Here are some DIY ideas which I have already used to compensate for YC candles..they look good, but the scent of Yankee is hard to beat..

 Use old jars (soak labels off with vinegar) and fill with stones and pillar candle..

 Fill with epsom salt or sugar to create a snowy feel for Christmas..

Or another cute idea...hundreds & thousands!

Some other fill ideas: Coffee Beans, Nuts, Berries, Sand, Cinnamon Sticks, Ivory Leaves, Beads..pretty much anything!

Get Made Up..

This blog post is dedicated to my sister Leigh who is loving my blog right now..

 Get organised with this DIY magnetic make up holder..

1. Old frame, paint/distress to taste

2. Thin metal sheet in replacement of glass (cover in printed giftwrap to taste/theme)

3. Place sticky mini magnets to make up/brush pot holders

:)

 Here is a similar idea using a printed artist canvas with metal sheet placed on top for magnetic noticeboard..

Like this vintage look for your dressing table too..

Ombre Trend..

Ombre.. Using any polish of your choice pour onto a flat surface, take a spongy eyeshadow applicators and dip into the polish, dab the polish on your nail concentrating at the tip and moving slightly upward. Repeat until you get the desired effect. Put a topcoat over the entire nail et voila! :)

My First Blog..

Welcome to my first ever blogging experience - Kerry Dreams..

I am a day dreamer at heart and here I will share all my day to day inspiration, thoughts and anything that catches my eye!  

I am a 26 year old female from Co.Down, N.Ireland.  However I am currently living in Sydney, Australia (following the rest of N.I on the Emigration bug!) I have been here for 2 months and loving the lifestyle, fashion, interiors, and everything thats just a bit different to home (plus the weather helps!!) 

I will keep you all updated on my fashion finds here as we all love to see something just that wee bit different!

Hope you enjoy my blog :)
