A LIFE & HOME UPDATE + TRYING NEW MAKEUP FROM CULT BEAUTY | Suzie Bonaldi

How are you doing? Today I'm in a slightly different setting to kick off this vlog. I am in Hotel... Is it Hotel Cafe Royale? I always get the name mixed up, like the words mixed around. This lip balm. Sorry, I was meant to be starting the vlog but this lip balm, so good. I'm at Hotel Cafe Royale. It's stunning. I've wanted to stay here for years. Dream come true moment. I'm also here with Armani, which is also a dream come true because they're one of my favourite brands. I've been using them for years. I'm a big fan of the Luna Silk Concealer. As you guys will know, I literally put it on my face every single day and breathe, Susie. Big fan of Luna Silk Foundation. Also a big fan of their bronzer but very sad because I've run out of that so we will not be using that today. I thought I would start this vlog at the risk of bursting into tears because I'm not okay today. I have reached my breaking point in life and my tolerance really for breaking points is probably lower than most people's. If I'm just being really harsh on myself, it probably is. As someone that lives with anxiety, I'm just going to put it out there. Probably it's not the most disastrous day ever but I am struggling a little bit at the moment with life. Everything is upside down. I'll talk to you, I'll switch back later. I actually can't talk about this right now because I'll cry. I'm just going to put on some Luna Silk Primer and hope for the best. Not having the best day so far today but that's okay. We move. Put on make-up. That's what I do. This is how I cope. I put on make-up. I actually had a little bit of make-up on but I had SPF underneath it so I had to take it off because I love my flash photos at the moment and my SPF does ruin it a little bit which I found out on my last trip. I need it. Hang on. Please hold. A little bit of flash back face going on but the SPF is so good I just can't not use it and also need to use it. So really looking forward to dinner this evening. I'm also getting my make-up done and I'm very much looking forward to that because I haven't had my make-up done in a long time by somebody else. I really can't be bothered to do my eyes today. I am so out of practice with eye shadow guys. It's not okay. So that is going on my list of things I need to practice because I don't like being bad at things. I think I'm going to ask them if they will do my eye make-up. That would be amazing. Then I don't have to worry about that. We're about to do my favourite make-up technique where we just spill everything on all at once. I'm going for the Armani Luminous Silk Concealer. On the high points of my face and then where my scarring is. This is the Shea 4.5. I love it so much. I literally use it every single day. I'm going to go for a little bit of Bobbi Brown Corrector on my eyes because it gives me life. You know, we love that. Bronzer looks so... I'm going to leave the blush. I don't think it's a blush moment but what I do need is my unsettlingness. One of the few items I own that I know where it is. It's the Full Wet Bronze for me. This is an essential part of the make-up routine. I love it. Doubling up tonight because this is an evening make-up look. Then once I've done this, I need to decide on my outfit for this evening. I've bought three. I still haven't decided. I tried everything on yesterday. Can't make a decision. So, I bought everything. I miss you. Shade 7.5 if anyone remembers. I need another one of this. I miss it so much. Thank you so much for this look. I had the best time. I don't want to leave. Aw, thank you. It was great. Okay. Outfit of the evening. I don't know if this is a look. Okay, you guys? I don't know if this is a look. I'm just kind of going with my gut here. This actually has this swishy bit on the back which needs to come around the front, but I'm so scared to get any foundation or bronzer on it that I'm just kind of leaving it behind until I actually have to go out and see people and have my photo taken. Yeah. Don't know if I like the hair, but like I said, I'm just... I had a vision and I'm just rolling with it and hoping that it is okay, but I'm really not sure. This is the outfit. I'll show you the outfit in full in the room in a sec, but this lighting is just better, and this is how I wanted to first up present myself to you rather than the really terrible lighting that we're about to see. Okay, I've tweaked the lighting slightly, so we're now working with very low light, but at least you don't just see boobs being highlighted by the terrible spotlights. So yeah, this works a little bit better, I think. The top is House of CB, bottoms are also House of CB. I've got some very old YSL heels on because I wanted the trousers to be floor length, but I didn't want to look super short, and this is just the way that it worked out best with these heels rather than any of my other heels. My earrings are old ASOS earrings that I just... I love them so much. They're so fun. Although they are misbehaving with my hair a little bit. They're kind of colliding at the wrong point, but the side profile is decent, so I will take that. I've then got an Edge of Ember Victoria ring on, and then a Monica Vinader ring. Another Monica Vinader ring that's exactly the same on the other hand, and then a little green and gold ring from Ramy. I'll show you in close-up in a sec. And I've also got a Monica Vinader necklace on as a bracelet because I realised there was no necklace needed with this kind of top. And I've also changed my nose ring. You probably won't be able to see at all, but I've changed it to a gold nose ring. Excuse me. How the frick do you make this work? Honestly, I don't know. I don't know if you can actually even see it, but that's the gold nose ring. I actually love it. I think I might keep this one in all the time. The only thing is, I really like the silver ones because I can wash my face and keep them in, and then I never forget to put them back in. Whereas with studs and this nose ring, I will forget to put it back in, and I leave so many of them in hotel rooms, so let's pray this one makes it home with me. But anyway, these are the rings that are on my left hand, and then this one's a little bit big for me, but I love it. These are the rings on my right hand, and then the Monica Vinader altar necklace as a bracelet, which I think just makes a really nice little subtle addition to the outfit. There's a lot going on. It doesn't need much more. I hope I look okay. You know when you just got ready? I don't know if anyone else knows this, but when you get ready for so many events so many times, and you're trying different things, there's just sometimes where I'm like, is this okay? I don't even know if I look okay anymore. Fingers crossed I do. Morning! Yes, I cannot wait for breakfast. I am going to do makeup. I'm going to do light makeup for the Masterclass. I'm going for breakfast with Victoria this morning in the hotel before we go to Masterclass with Armani. Oh my god, this moisturiser feels so good. If you get the chance to get your hands on this moisturiser, I would highly recommend it. I know I'm using the night cream right now, and that's because I couldn't be bothered to travel with both the day and the night cream, but the night cream is just, uh, delish. I really, really love it. I have not loved a moisturiser like this in a very, very, very, very, actually ever. I don't think I've ever loved a moisturiser. Maybe like the Origins Ginseng. I really love that. But this is like the Adult Big Sister. There were a couple of Origins moisturisers actually that I didn't really love, but this is like the Big Sister version of them. Like, it is just... I've never felt anything like it. It's absolutely stunning. It is a dream on very, very tired skin, which I currently have. Literally wake up every hour on the hour after someone knocked on my door at midnight. I did not answer the door, obviously, because that's how you get murdered. Going to need a lot of this this morning. So this is this morning's outfit. I'm wearing a Zara shirt, Zara jeans, and then a little pair of Dior heels, which I've had for ages and I actually haven't taken for an outing yet. So this is the first. I'm just going to leave it at that. And then I'm actually going to come back up to the room after this morning's Masterclass and get changed, because I like to be comfy when I travel home. And I'm also just going to be taking off my makeup, because I realised this is why I don't like getting up early. I realised I haven't put any SPF on. So good thing I'm actually not leaving the hotel this morning before I actually have to leave. So I'm going to come back and get into like travel vibes. I've put a whole load of makeup on for like an hour. So that's good. Anyway, let's go. Breakfast. And Giorgio Armani foundation. You guys, look at this. Last night's hairstyle was so extreme that my favourite clip has broken. Look at it. Really held up though the whole night, but one tiny bit has like broken. Now it's all kind of falling apart. Anyway, that's about that. No one needs to hear about that. I am back in my skin bodysuit, which I just love. I actually ordered the Skims one. I'm just going to say this one's better. I really like it. Could I have sized down? Yes, absolutely. I'm tempted to buy it in the smaller size, just so it's not like you can fit a whole like hand in the back. It like gapes like denim does. And I don't like that. But other than that, it fits like quite well. There's just a little bit of rippling here because my chest isn't like filling it enough. So I could definitely do like the extra small, but this is just so comfortable. You can't really see because I've got so much stuff in the way. But yeah, this is so, so comfortable. So I've just popped it on for my journey home. I absolutely love it. I've literally not stopped wearing it since I got it. So, so comfy. The back is slightly annoying. But to be honest, with a black like bra underneath, I don't feel like one strap at the back would, you know, ruin it too much. That is the one thing the Skims bodysuit is better for. It's like thicker here and it's also higher up on the back, which is great. However, you just look like one giant long American apparel disco pant. This one is just like legging material. It's so nice, so comfy. I'm obsessed with it. So yeah, this is what I wore on the journey up and this is what I will be wearing on the journey home. Gone for a little slicked back ponytail because it's hair wash day and I cannot be bothered anymore. And I can't remember if I said, but I forgot to put SPF on this morning. Thing. I feel like I, I feel like I'm upset now. I have rectified the SPF situation by just putting on a load of SPF over the top of my makeup. And I have to say no other SPF could do that except, well, maybe there's quite a few, but that La Roche-Posay SPF that I use. I'll show you. It's right. It's right here. I just have to be able to open something single handedly. Will she be able to do it? Yes. This SPF, it's great. It can go over the top of makeup because it has a tint to it. It can go over the top of makeup without giving you like a weird white sheen or anything like that. I love it. So that has saved the day and now I don't have to take full face of makeup off. And it's just kind of like made the makeup look that I did look a little bit more everyday because I've kind of blended everything together. I just used my hands, but yeah, just kind of, it's blended all of the product that was on my face together very nicely. And don't worry. I used plenty. Trust me. I used plenty. So there is enough on my face. Not having to take a full face of makeup off an hour after I put it on makes me very happy. So, yeah, I'm just going to throw all of this stuff in my suitcase and then we are ready to go home. Straight away. Love that for me. Why did I bother? Good morning. I'm back. Believe it or not, I've actually had a week off. So the footage you saw earlier was from like two weeks ago. It was a really lovely trip, though, and I didn't want to lose the memory. Weirdly, sometimes I don't even really care if it like doesn't make for good vlog footage. Sometimes I just like to have things for the men's and that was definitely one of those trips. I'm not happy with these. Why do these sit so weird? So it's been a while since then. Fun fact or not so fun fact. I was actually having a very bad day that day. I don't know if I mentioned it, but that was the day that I thought I'd lost my passport. And that passport could have been anywhere from Gardinor, St Pancras, London, Brighton, my house, Ryan's house. I have been in so many places and I hadn't seen that passport since I got on the Eurostar and you don't need it when you get off. And I was out. It was a few days before the Jimmy Choo trip and I was losing my mind. Just one of those days where you really didn't feel like you were on top of things already. And then something like that happens and you just feel like you do not have a handle on life. You have really effed up. You're a failure as an adult and you really start like laying into yourself. It was one of those days. It was just awful. Sorry, just fix the colour temperature because it was like severely blue in here. Because it is literally peeing it down today. If it looks dark in all of the vlog footage, it's because I am in the dark and I'm refusing to put the lights on. Lights make me sad and they're expensive. But anyway, yeah, I wanted to document it. I loved my makeup. I loved my outfit. I just loved that evening. It was such a nice evening. So I wanted to use that footage somewhere. And it just didn't really fit in any of the other footage that I have. I did actually want to do a kind of talk through tutorial on that makeup look and take you through what the makeup artist did. But I'm still waiting on the products. However, I do have a few other products that I've ordered. I did a little cult beauty order. So I'm going to use a couple of bits from that. I don't know if I'll use all of these. But if you saw my video with Alana. Alana. I always say it very Britishly with the R sound. My video with Alana. I picked up some bits from cult beauty after we filmed our video together. She just really inspired me and I was so excited to try out some new things. So I'm going to use a few of them today. I don't know if I'll get through all of them because there's quite a few bits. But I picked up the Hourglass. What is this? Ambient Soft Glow Foundation. This is actually just something I've seen a lot of people talking about. And I was really excited about because I use the concealer. And as you know, I'm obsessed with it. I also picked up. Oh no. Bye. I also picked up the concealer in a lighter shade. Because I have. What shade is it? I can't remember the shade. But it's quite dark. So I picked up the shade Beach. And I'm hoping. I'm not expecting like a perfect colour match. Because this is like sold. So many of these are sold out in so many places. Like it was just impossible to get a lighter shade. So I'm hoping this one's going to be okay. I'm sure it'll blend out if I'm using like hopefully a foundation that matches my skin. I picked up shade 5 in the Ambient Soft Glow Foundation. I'm excited to use it. So I'm going to use both of those. I also picked up some things from Westman Atelier. Which we talked about in the video. So I picked up the Vital Skincare Complexion Drops. I feel like this is like a combo between skincare and makeup. Yeah, I think I picked up the shade 4. I think it's in Roman numerals. And I'm not exactly the most clued up on Roman numerals. But I think it's shade 4. But I'm going to move on in case I just made myself sound really stupid. Anyway. More from Westman Atelier. I picked up the Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal. Pretty. Love that. And then I got the Face Trace Contour Stick in the shade Biscuit. Cute name. Like a nice cool tone. So I think this is going to be really good for actually contouring. Which I've been mentally like reminding myself for about a month now. That I want something that's a bit more like contoury rather than bronzy. So very excited to have that. I also picked up a lip gloss from Tower 28. I tried to find the mascara. But I don't think we have it available to us in the UK yet. But I picked up this lip gloss. I think it's in the shade Oat. It's a little bit warmer than I thought it would be. But cute. I really like the Tower 28 branding. And then I also got a couple of bits from Natasha Denona. I love Natasha Denona so much. Like the eyeshadows. She does a lipstick in the shade Susanna. I couldn't not pick it up. Because if you have a weird name. You'll know what it's like when you could never get your name on a key ring. As a kid. So anything with your name on it is very exciting. I don't know if it's going to be the one. But I just was really excited by the fact that it had my name. And it was a nude lipstick. I also picked up a new Anastasia Brow Definer in Ash Brown. I've been loving this. Got on really well with it. You also get a really nice. Amount of product. In the pencil. Like it keeps going. There are some that I have used. Where they last about five seconds. And it really annoys me. But I think you get a good amount of product in this. Then I got a Natasha Denona lip liner. These are the I Need a Nude lip crayons. And this is in the shade NB2. We'll see. It could be a bit light. But it could be perfect. It looks quite cool toned. So I'm excited. And then I got the Soft Glow foundation brush. Ambient Soft Glow foundation brush. I don't understand how I'm meant to get this open. As a person with long nails. Oh. They say I don't have talent. Well done me. Well done. You know when you say something. And you just know it's not going to land. With people that don't understand that you're being sarcastic. Oh. It's nice and dense. And I really like a dense foundation brush. Does anyone remember that one I used to have. I can't remember what brand it was from. But it looked like a spoon. It looked like a brush on a spoon. I love that foundation brush. Weirdly a video of mine popped up the other day where I was using that. And I was like good times. Where has that brush gone? And then finally I got an eyeshadow palette. Which I thought would be perfect for the festive season. Like I said I love Natasha Denona eyeshadows. They're the best quality honestly. They are so buttery. And I really wanted to do some more like gold eyeshadow looks. So I got this. But I also love the fact that it has this like cool toned like duochrome shade just here. And then this darker shade here I think is really stunning. And would make like a cool base for a liner potentially. Excited to try that out. I think the new shades in it are quite nice as well. Like I think this one here would be a nice like everyday. But I also am obsessed with this shade here. Stunning. So yeah really excited to try that. Also the shade silk. I might not use that today though. Because I feel like I just want to go quite minimal today. So we're going to try the hourglass. These two from Westman Atelier. And I'm going to try out the lip products. Oh. Okay. Could have gone darker but this might oxidise. So I'm just going to see. We might be okay you know. Hmm. You can tell on the edges it's not. Oh. Okay. It might be a little bit too light but I think I can make it work. I'm just going to bronze. You can see on my forehead it's not really the best match. Like I needed just this one shade. I needed a 5.5 I think. But this is good. This will be good for winter for me. So I'm not mad about that. But as you can see she is back in the house. Never have I ever been more excited to be home. And to have my home resemble some sense of normality. The bedroom is almost completely finished. And as you will probably guess the vibe ended up being same but different. The only thing we're waiting on now is our new mattress for the bed. There's like finishing touches. Like the pillows that are on the bed aren't quite like right. They're my old pillows. I've just turned them around. Not these ones. These ones. So yeah. Finishing touches in terms of like pillows. I would love to get some artwork in here. But I would like to really invest in some artwork. So I think that will be something that's like a long time coming. Because I'll need to save for it. And right now every penny that I can save is going towards the loft conversion. I'm excited to show you around properly. The studio was also finished whilst I was in Paris. So unfortunately like I really wanted to show you it completely bare. But that's not going to happen. Because Ryan like moved his stuff in straight away to the studio. Oh this is a good match. Love that. Okay. Unfortunately I can't show you it bare. But you get to see the finished kind of reveal. Also a half style room. So it's not completely done. Easter wants to get specific furniture pieces. And just we're juggling a lot at the moment. So that will be a kind of work in progress over the next kind of year or so I reckon. But yeah we're basically there. We have finished phase one of the house which we're both very excited about. So we have our house back ready for the festive period. And then next year I think we'll be jumping straight back into it. And I'm scared. What we've just done was just such a small thing. Actually no. We basically had a whole building site in our garden. Because there was only one wall we didn't change for the studio. So yeah. One wall remained untouched. So actually we almost built an entire studio. But yeah it still was relatively minor compared to what I feel like a loft conversion will be. So I'm scared. But it's all good. Because then I'm going to get my studio. And I'm excited about that. Also Nala's going to get her own bedrooms. Just excited to have guest bedrooms. That's going to be really fun. Oh I forgot to use the brush. Okay here we go. Ooh. I'm going to use this brush. Because I think this will maybe blend this quite nicely. We'll see. Ooh. Okay. Okay I love this. Blends so nicely as well. Just going to take the excess across my eyes. I don't know why I always do this. And it just kind of gives you a little bit more definition. It's really nice. Just going to use a little bit of my favourite Armani product on my eyes. I'm obsessed with using this on my eyes. This is the Neo Nude Melting Colour Balm for Cheeks and Eyes in the shade 20. I literally just use it on my finger and blend it like that. And it's just so pretty. Okay. I'm going to put on a little bit of the blush from Westman Atelier. I think this is going to be a good shade on me. I don't know how pigmented this is going to be. I could be really effing up here. But we'll see. This looks like it's going to be a nice all year round blush. Contour my lips quickly because the lack of upper lip right now is upsetting me. Honestly, foundation lips, not the one. Going to use a little bit of this lip liner. Why do I look like the light is doing me so dirty right now? This reminds me of MAC Strip Down. If you have a fairer skin tone, this will do for you what MAC Stone does for me in terms of lip contour. Let's try some of this lipstick though. Oh. Oh, that's so nice. It smells so good. Wow. I think it would suit a pink lip liner better though. Just to warm it up a little bit because it's a little bit cooler in its tone. Okay, I'm done. I am going to bronze a little bit though. I think just across my forehead. The light is so weird today. Yeah, if I'm going to stick this on autocorrect, I'm going to be putting some bronzer on. These cameras in grey day lighting, they really don't do you any favours. Just been into the loft to get this sweater because it is definitely a sweater weather. I really wanted to wear a cute outfit today but I'm definitely not leaving the house with the weather like this. It is honestly, it's been torrential rain for days. So, wearing this old Topshop jumper is just so nice. It needs like a good, I don't know if de-bobbling is going to do anything. Like it's super fluffy. I don't know if a de-bobbler would help or just ruin it. If anyone knows, let me know. Because I, look at this. That's crazy. Because I just love this jumper so much. Like I've had it since 2018, 2019. It is looking a little bit worse for wear but I love it. It's coming off a lot warmer on camera but it's like a really gorgeous, very neutral, pink, beige kind of tone. And I'm just wearing a little skin body suit underneath. This is the one I got off Nesporte. Love it. I actually prefer it to the Skims body suit. It's like a legging-y material so it's just lovely and so comfortable and I literally wear it so much. The only downside is that it has a low back so you can't wear a bra. But you can, especially if you're just like this. But if you want to take it off, it's a bit annoying. But yeah, anyway, I'm wearing silver jewellery today. I've got Monica Vinader hoop earrings. Monica Vinader. Gorgeous little pendant necklace. I am obsessed with this. I then have all Monica Vinader rings as well. This one's rose gold but we're just going to ignore the fact that it doesn't match. But we've got little and a big one and then this one as well which I love. So yeah, all Monica Vinader today. And I'm going to put on a little bit of perfume. Going to go for Jimmy Choo. I want you forever. This, like, I love. I love this. I love it so much. It will always have a special place in my heart. Honestly, I think this is top tier. It is delicious. It's like the base of it is super sweet, super like toffee, caramel, autumnal flavours. And flavours? Notes. But it's got that same, like, fruitiness that Jimmy Choo I want you has. Oh, so stunning. Anyway, you are probably sick to death of me talking about it so I'm going to shut up now. But it really is, like, stunning. Yes, and it sticks around. I love that. Like, there are not enough fragrances. Sometimes you spend, like, hundreds of pounds on a fragrance and it doesn't stick. A little bit annoying. And it's not your top end of fragrance pricing either. So just love that. Black Friday is also coming up and there's probably going to be a pretty good deal on that. So if you're looking for a new fragrance, I would highly recommend that one. Anyway, ignore my washing. I've been very busy washing my pyjama shirts over the past couple of days because it is, like, cosy pyjama season. So I was like, I'm going to need to get them smelling all nice. I'm going to show you our home updates. Finally! I think I had this video, like, originally penciled in for early October. So obviously, like I said, we've had the studio done. But we also made some changes to the bedroom as well. Mostly just to add extra storage space because this house has zero storage space. It has the island, kitchen island thing. And then it has this cupboard, which is about this deep. It literally fits an ironing board in it. Just slide it in. So actual built-in to the house storage space is something we were severely lacking. There were obviously no built-in wardrobes in the bedroom. So I decided that it would just be a good investment into the house considering we are planning on staying for, like, a very long time now. It would be a worthwhile investment to build them in, have my dream wardrobes. Ryan thankfully let me just, like, go hard on the creative for it. And I'm very grateful for that because they are my actual dream. The bedroom looks much more girly than I anticipated. I actually bottled it on painting the bedroom, like, a greeny grey or just a solid grey. This time of year, the more poor weather we got and the more, like, the day started getting darker, it was getting closer to painting day. And I was like, just going to paint it white. And especially with the wardrobe style that I settled on in the end. I was originally going to go for mirror wardrobes. I changed my mind, as you will have seen. As you already know, there's a lot of panelling going on. And I actually skipped on the panelling elsewhere in the bedroom. I'm going to stop talking it through because you'll see it in a second. But I went rogue on the original bedroom plan. So this vibe was, like, same but different. We actually ordered a new armchair, which was going to be for the bedroom. But it just fitted, like, we unwrapped it in the lounge and I was just like, this chair has got to stay in this room. It is stunning. So the blue chair, you will see, has got a new home now. But yeah, there is a new armchair addition in the living room. The new furniture additions are very kindly gifted from Sofa.com. They are stunning. So, look at this. Like, ignore this. I don't really know what's going on over here. I need to, like, zhuzh. Look at this. This is stunning. It is so well made. Like, the quality is great. It feels so robust. The material, like, this fabric, it's a caramel tan boucle. I think it's boucle on their website. In the shade champagne, I believe. I will correct myself if I'm wrong. But it is stunning. And my Zara home cushion looks so gorgeous. So this is the ginger armchair. I believe it's a newer addition to Sofa.com. And it is absolutely unreal. It's so, it's very large. I don't feel like on camera you're able to really tell scale. But this is actually a very large nook. Just doesn't always look it. And this armchair was so big. And it kind of comes out. It's quite long. And I just felt it fitted this space so well over the space in the bedroom that I have penciled for an armchair. So, yeah, I decided to switch things up. And I'm so happy. Like, it just feels so warm in here when you walk in now. It's absolutely stunning. I'm really happy with it, actually, because I didn't really realise how badly the blue grey chair was, like, bringing down this space. But this chair just warms everything up. It fits so perfectly with, like, the tones on the floor. Some people might say that it's a bit, like, too samey. But this time of year, I just feel like it's helped to warm the room slightly. Especially because light bounces onto furniture. And then the furniture, if it's a certain colour, will, like, ricochet the light off. And it will give off that tone. So, the blue chair was, like, casting a blue tone around it. Which, as soon as I put this in here, I kind of realised that that was what was happening. And that was why the room was looking very cold over here. The rest of the room just looks a bit of a mess. So, I'm not going to, like, spend too much time on that. But this little nook, this is everything. I actually, when we finished, and when it was all, like, sorted, my favourite thing to do was stand in this little bit in my hallway. Where I can see into both rooms. This spot right here, I can see my gorgeous living room and my gorgeous new armchair. And then, I could also see my gorgeous new bed. And I really wasn't joking when I said, same but different. Because you probably haven't even noticed that it's a new bed. But it is. This is actually a king-size bed. Again, from sofa.com. It is so good. It's an ottoman. Literally, my slippers can no longer get lost under the bed. And we can actually store things under there, which is incredible. It's in this gorgeous fabric, which is actually a lot lighter than the one I had before. The one I had before was more of a minky colour. I thought I was really going to miss the pinky tone. However, it's really brightened up the space. Like, the light bounces off of this much better than it did the old one. So, I'm super happy with it. Like I said earlier, I've turned my pillows around. Because they, I got new pillowcases, as you can see. These stunning babies right here. And these just didn't go. So I've just temporarily turned them around. And actually, I don't think it looks that bad. So, we'll see. But my mum really wants these pillowcases. So I feel like I should buy some new ones and give them to her. Because she desperately wants them, bless her. Anyway, so this is an ottoman bed. I believe it's the Rosalie bed. And the fabric is alabaster. Stunning. So gorgeous. And then I've got new pillowcases as well. So these are our Soho home pillows. Literally the most comfortable pillows on planet earth. And I got some new pillowcases for them. I got these from Danelle. So I love these because they actually remind me of like a Soho house towel. They do these like big thick stripes on their towels. But in like this gorgeous neutral like minky tone. So beautiful. And this size fits my king size pillows so well. Also, so excited that my king size pillows actually fit on my bed now. Because before they were always like falling off. And we had to overlap them. The rest of them are just like normal standard size pillows. But I got some gorgeous new linen pillowcases as well. For the ones that we actually sleep on. Rather than having white. Because I just feel like white gets spoiled so quickly. And the whites don't stay like brilliant white for very long. So I felt like this was a much better option. I actually don't sleep on this many pillows. I only sleep on the one below. But it annoys me seeing like Ryan has two behind and I only have one. So if you're wondering why mine looks so plush. That's why. Because I don't sleep on it. And then underneath I've just got my regular pillow. With my LilySilk pillowcase on it. Which are the best silk pillowcases. And then this sheet is stunning. Look at this. Like this fitted bed sheet. Oh my goodness. So yes, this is going to look a bit crazy. We have so much extra space the other side of the bed. Because we obviously don't have the king size mattress yet. But yes, this bed sheet from Dunelm is just stunning. I think it's from The Linen Yard is the brand. And I am absolutely obsessed. I've also bought it in king size. Ready for the new mattress. And then this one will go on our guest bed. So yes, those are the first new additions to the bedroom. And as you can see in the reflection of the mirror. We have got. They literally. I get so much joy out of this angle. I can actually see it when I walk past the bedroom door. So even if I only see the side of the wardrobe. Walking past the actual door. I can see the reflection of like the front of the wardrobes. In this from the doorway. And it just makes me so happy. So I will show you the original image that I took from Pinterest. I literally said copy and paste to my builder. There were actually two. Because we didn't love the panelling on one. But we loved like the handles. And another aspect of the other. So I'll show you the two photos I sent to my builder. If you want to do the same. Or if you want to just send them mine. That's fine. But if you want like a real Pinterest-y image. To give your builders for whatever reason. Then I'll leave them on screen. They're also pinned on my Pinterest. If you want to go over there as well. But yes, these are the wardrobes. They are absolutely stunning. They literally make me so happy. And they fit the space so well. I was really worried when these were first done. That they were like too much in the room. But they are absolutely perfect. Like once they were painted. And it all like fitted the room. It was just everything. I'm so obsessed with them. So I will link both the builder that did them. And the handles. Because I got the handles separately. I sourced them myself from Etsy. I'll put the link for those in the info box. Because they are just so beautiful. I really didn't think I was going to be able to find. Like a good match for the handles from the Pinterest photo. But I'm happy with them. I'm so happy with them. I'm going to show you the inside now. I drew what I wanted the inside to be like myself. So this has all been selected by me. Not that it's anything groundbreaking. But I have plans people. This is looking really minimalist and bougie right now. But I'm going to get like baskets and things like that. So that I can actually store a lot of stuff in here. And honestly you can fit so much in here. They're actually so wide. I don't really feel like you're going to get a good idea of scale. There is so much space in this wardrobe. I'm so happy. It means that I can free up a lot of space in my wardrobe room. Which will be great. Because at some point that wardrobe room is going to disappear for quite a while. So it's nice to have somewhere to put like the majority of my everyday clothes. And the way I'm kind of working this. Is that this is my capsule wardrobe. Like all of my extras. All of my events dresses. Everything else can kind of go into storage in the wardrobe room. Instead of being in the loft. If that makes sense. So yeah this is like my capsule wardrobe. Basically like lots of t-shirts, blazers, jumpers, jeans, trousers. Everything I wear daily. And then the majority of like my shoes and bags and everything are in the other room. Yeah I'm so, so happy with it. I mean this is not, these are not staying like this. I just kind of wanted to put everything together and kind of make a start. Hello. Oh shoot this one's struggling now. But that's why we got you the stool. Look. This is another Sofa.com purchase. Do you want to use the stool? Oh no. Still trying to teach this one to use the stool. But yeah this is our Sofa.com little stool. Which I really wanted because. One it's cute obviously. But two you are getting on a bit now. And you're struggling to get on the bed. Even though the bed I think is slightly lower than it used to be. So you need to learn to use this. So we're literally going to try and teach an old dog new tricks. Oh why are you crying? Why are you crying? Don't cry. It's not that bad. You're only eight. We've missed you in the vlogs. What have you been up to? Barking at the squirrels. She's actually been spending a lot of time in the garden. Because she now can't decide who she wants to sit with. Now that Ryan and I are home all the time. But very separate. So she just kind of sits in the garden if the weather's nice. And sits halfway between both of us. Look at this. Look at the paw. Like don't stop stroking me. Paw. I'm obsessed with you. I am obsessed with you. I'm obsessed with you. Are you going to use the stool? Come on. Come here. Oh yes. High five. Yeah. And then we come back up here. Yes. High five. No that's not. That's a two five. But yeah this is a gorgeous herringbone fabric. I will put all the details for what it's called. And what the footstool is called in the info box. Very happy with this. No. Use the stool. Damn. It's going to be a long winter guys. So yeah. Those are the new additions to our bedroom. New wardrobes. I'll try and link as much as I can in the info box below. And I'll also link these as well. And these we bought back in the summer from Swoon Additions. So some of you might not have seen them yet. But they're really gorgeous as well. So just obsessed with this room from every single angle now. These are gorgeous. They're a little bit stiff though so just keep that in mind. If you are thinking of getting them they don't come on runners. But yeah that is the room. Those are the updates. Okay. Come on. You can have a treat now. Okay. Are you ready? Down. Just throws herself at the floor. See ya. The long commute to the office. We will get like this sorted. This is the kind of entrance. We still need to have this like painted and everything. But we've got like lighting. Cute door. Hello. We've come to see your new home. That's where I live now. We're not actually moving in together. He just lives nearby. Stunning. So you guys will have seen. I think they saw before the floor went in. So this is the flooring we went for. Do you remember what it was? It was like Kandine Van Gogh. Oh. Gold. Okay. Kandine Van Gogh glue down in the shade. Does it say the shade? I'm not sure. But yeah. So it's got kind of like a rustic feel. But it's warm. But it's got some grey tones. So it kind of marries up like everything going on in this room. Because obviously Ryan's desk has some warmth to it. But you've got lots of different kind of woods going on with various bits. So I feel like this flooring was perfect. Oh, you've moved the skateboard in. Yeah. And we've got strip lighting up there. I think they've seen the lighting. Oops. I love the lighting in here. Oh. Vibes. Oh, it makes the camera. Gives lines. Interesting. Yeah. But yeah. Stunning. And then you've got your cute little smiley face light. Little lamp over here for more vibes. Obviously, we need to sort things and get cabinets for in here and stuff. I bought my coffee table. You bought your coffee table? It's in the car. Oh, wow. OK, cool. Blue chair also has a home. Are you enjoying that? Yeah? Yeah, it's all right. You don't use it, do you? No, I use it. I come in and sit here and talk to you. Yeah. But it's mostly for me to bug you. You love it. And Shrimpy sometimes sits there. Have you mentioned the album that you started recording? The heavy metal album that I started recording? That's kind of how things are looking. That's the flooring we went for. This is the finished result. Are you happy? Yeah. Worth it? Worth the stress? Yeah. They don't need to know that, though. I wasn't sure if it would sound weird on camera. No. Boxing. It's great. I'm going to leave you alone now. I'm going to come and get tea. Oh, I was going to say, make some bangers. Nope. The upside of having a boyfriend that works from home with you. Oh, my god. Is that a tea? Oh, my god. This is the most exciting. It's your turn tomorrow. What? No. I don't remember seeing that in the T's and C's. It is definitely my bedtime. I am so tired. Dinner was so good. Bedtime. Yeah. So thank you so much for spending the day with me. I really enjoyed catching up with you. That's going to be it from me for now. I'm excited for the upcoming vlogs, though. I think things are going to get very, very festive from here on out. And I am actually really looking forward to it. Not necessarily Christmas, but, like, I enjoy the run-up to Christmas. I just basically enjoy the parties and the fun things with friends and socializing and all of that. Like, I really love that bit. So, yeah, I think the next few weeks are going to be super fun. Thank you so much for watching. I will see you guys again very, very soon. Love you, bye. That's my toilet cleaner in the background just chilling. That's nice. Anyway, love you, bye. Bye.
