www.livelaughlove.co.uk

www.livelaughlove.co.uk is a website I stumbled upon by chance whilst searching for lovely things to decorate my new home with. I'm a massive fan of all things 'cute' and cottagey and from first glance the website is attractive, functional and works well on mobile devices (tested on HTC and iPad.)

Many of the items are of a similar style to those currently covering the shop floors of department stores such as Debenhams, described as 'shabby chic'.

The website covers a large range of tastes and includes furniture, decorative items and even soaps. I decided to order three items, below are my reviews.

Ceramic rose jug - small

I have often longed for a cutesy small jug to display on my dressing table or even to house a few small flowers and this beautiful little jug seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Although I've used it decoratively you could also use it as an attractive addition to any tea set, I'd really recommend this as it's a study little jug, I already have my lovely Emma Bridgewater set though!

It's smaller than I imagined but that's purely because I didn't measure, hopefully you can see the scale from the juxta posed photo frame. The colour is a soft lilac and the design oozes shabby chic.

I'd really recommend this product to anyone who wanted to add that little something to their bedroom, living room or even bathroom!

Ceramic bird trinket dish

Please note: watch and ring not included!

Honestly, I hadn't really thought of owning a trinket dish until I saw them in many people's 'what's on my nightstand' features. I'd always popped my jewellery on my bedside table or alternatively my jewellery box which seemed a bit of faff every evening.

Whilst scanning the livelaughlove website I found this adorable birk design trinket dish. I loved the simple but classy design and hoped it would match my white bedside furniture. Priced at £4.95 I felt the product was good value for money as you could expect to pay a lot more for a similar item on the highstreet.

When the item arrived it was well packaged and looked exactly how I'd hoped, it was the perfect size for my bedside table too! Now I can never complain to Mike that I've lost my bracelet or earrings again!

Hanging rosebud heart - pink

The third and final item I ordered was this hanging rosebud style heart. Sadly, when it arrived it was damaged and bent out of shape with tiny bits of rose shaking around the packet, you could probably bend it back if you really tried but you run the risk of snapping it as it's such a fragile material.

I contacted customer services and their reply was quick and efficient, sending a return envelope which arrived the very next day.

I will report back on this item soon.

I really like this site and I suggest you take a look if this seems your sort of thing, I hope to review more of their items very soon!
