Laura Ashley

There are so many things I should be doing right now, my children are literally running around like wild holligans in diapers. The thing is that I just happened to log into my email this morning and guess what?! Laura Ashley has a sale people. I REPEAT, LAURA ASHLEY HAS A SALE.

Just in case you didn't know, Laura Ashley is my favorite shop in England. It just so happens that we are going to England in May, so I am thinking I might order a few little bits and have them sent to my Mum for when I arrive. It's clever really, I will be going to go to Laura Ashley regardless this visit, so I might as well have preshopped some of the sales, right?

I bet when I tell Ryan he will be so pleased. A Laura Ashley shop that actually saved us money. I'm sure he will be thinking how happy he is to have married me. He'll probably even tell me to do it more often!

Anyways, enough of me bragging about my shopping abilities, here's a few reasons why I love Laura Ashley so much.
  • Literally everything in LA is pretty. I love the feeling I first get when I step into it....a mixture of bliss and a feeling of wanting to buy everything in sight :)

Sadly this is probably not far off from how I look when I go Laura Ashley. 

  • The floral prints produced from LA are down right splendid. I am already a sucker for anything floral but they {along with Cath Kidston} produce some of the loveliest prints I have ever seen.
  • My Mum used to own some dresses from Laura Ashley that I grew up looking at in her closet. I think the dress she got married in could have also been Laura Ashley. So really this is all my Mum's fault, I was drip fed Laura Ashley from a young age :) Princess Diana was also known to sport Laura Ashley from time to time. Here she is wearing one of their skirts! 
                                            
  • They sell wallpaper! Most people hate wallpaper but I LOOOOOVE it! I think there is a lack of it in this city of mine. It's just sooooo English and full of character. I purchased some last year for our bedroom and have been trying to convince Ryan to put it up ever since.
  • Lastly, they sell children's bedroom accessories!!!!!! I know some people will read this and think, so what? But after becoming a Mum, I slowly realized there is a shortage for quality bedroom stuff when it comes to kids. So naturally, I frequently scour the web for Laura Ashley kids bedroom inspiration. 
I only have ONE criticism for Laura Ashley and that is that they don't sell it here in Canada. Actually they don't even deliver to Canada :( Good thing I have my connections in England! Now off to do some online shopping, wish me luck! xxx
