HOMEWURR.

These past few years I have grown up and into an interest in all things home decor; I used to find a wander around IKEA a torturous and monotonous procedure in which the only solace there was to be found was in a potential plate of meatballs, or bag of mini daim bars. Food related, of course. 

Nowadays, I'm a true homie, and not in the cool, colloquial sense; I'm to be found swooning over anything from flamingo cushions, to nonsensical dust collecting ornaments. Out of all things home related, my big weakness has to be...mugs.

My 'Ham' mug - a present from one of my best friends for my 21st (its an ongoing tradition) alongside some of my homemade flapjacks. #sneakyfoodporn
I feel mugs have gained an ever-increasing notoriety, and popularity amongst the realms of homeware in recent years, its a bandwagon filled with florals, cartoon cats and uplifting sayings in an array of to-die-for typography.

I have literally just this month developed an appreciation for teacups, you know, the old fashioned granny ones? - yeah, those. I like 'em. My taste then broadens to my attachment to disney character mugs, like the one pictured above - cuteness and creativity are winning factors for me. Corr blimey, maybe this is too analytical considering I am simply discussing something that holds fluid.

Behold the wonder.

And yes, this is a collage of mugs. BALLIN'. 

A mix of Anthropologie and Disney (I'm sure you can figure which is which without complications), these are some mugs that have caught my eye. Bit gutted though guise. The daisy duck mug is now nowhere to be seen, maybe she'll pop up again, but for now, I'ma have to let her, and her suggestive side stare, go. Those monogram mugs are errry'whur, and I couldn't believe it when I saw that they were only £6! The Eve mug is super simple, cute and actually quite sleek for something that is meant to be more characteristically accurate than 'fashionable'. The 'Attringham' teacup seen above is exactly the granny appeal I was talking about, I love the little legs aswell - so delicate and dainty. 

Love the life you live, love the mugs you drink...out of.
