Cath Kidston Wonderland Collection - Review

-

Cath Kidston has only increased its popularity with each Disney collaboration they’ve done. From Mickey and Friends, Winnie the Pooh, Neverland and 101 Dalmatians – they’ve produced so many spectacular Disney items. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my hands on any of the pieces that I wanted from previous collections, so when the Alice in Wonderland Collaboration was announced; I made it my mission to make sure I got at least one piece from this stunning collection.

So, as last Thursday rolled around, I had my phone ready and popped the password in as soon as it hit 7pm. As I browsed through the pages of beautiful items available (some of which Cath Kidston had already teased us with), I was making a mental list of practically every item listed; from the wonderfully designed umbrella to the stunning denim jacket. However, I could also hear my bank account screaming at me so I instead settled on getting three of the items from everything I wanted.
Disney homeware is something I’m a big fan of and is one of my favourite ways to represent Disney in my home so the items we opted for were the Alice plate, the Mad Hatter mug and the Cheshire Cat bowl. This took the grand total to £30 and for the ceramic quality of these kitchenware items – you’re getting value for your money.



Despite being over a bank holiday weekend – my order was available to collect in store from the Covent Garden Cath Kidston store yesterday, as promised.

As soon as I got home and unwrapped the items from their protective bubble-wrap; I fell in love all over again. The designs are intricate, sophisticated and with a hint of subtly – all of which makes them even more beautiful in person. The Cheshire Cat bowl is a lot deeper than I thought it would be; but surely that’s a good thing as it allows you to pile on more food! The Alice plate is a perfect size and I can’t wait to display some of my girlfriend’s homemade cupcakes on them! The Mad Hatter mug fits in perfectly with our ever-growing cupboard of Disney mugs and will make for the perfect Instagrammable shot, when you’ve just made some hot chocolate on a cold winters day.

From clothes to homeware to accessories; there’s still plenty to choose from, from the Wonderland Range on the Cath Kidston website, and you can get a lot of these without having to break the bank. If you’re planning a Disney trip soon and feel like treating yourself to some goodies before you go, then the Wonderland collection is the perfect place to look, with water bottles, wallets and backpacks on offer. The range offers you beautifully designed Disney items with the delicate Cath Kidston touch to it; using flower designs and patterns to add a dash of sophistication and more magic to your purchases.

There are still a few items that are on my Wonderland Wishlist, including:

-Alice’s Meadow Continental Wallet

-Alice’s Words Cake Stand

-Alice Hearts Minilite Umbrella

-Painting The Roses Embroidered Jacket


I personally can’t wait to start using my homeware pieces – so be sure to keep an eye on my Twitter and Instagram for photos as and when I use them! Did you get anything from the Wonderland collection? What’s on your Wonderland Wishlist?

Never Grow Up

-
From the ‘Isn’t Disney for kids??’ remarks to the raised eyebrow looks you receive from some people when Disneybounding in Disneyland; one of my biggest pet peeves is being told Disney isn’t for you because you’re no longer a child. Most people I’ve come across have thankfully been quite the opposite to the above statement. However, I know this isn’t always the case as the concept of ‘Never grow up’ seems to have gone over a lot of people’s heads. Let’s start with the films. Animation, singing and princesses? I can already hear the scoffing coming from those who would argue that these are marketed towards children. The sheer hard work and imagination that goes into making such films were not just created with the intention of only being viewed by children and those that take them to see these films. The beauty of Disney movies are that they are universal. The detail that goes into the animation, the thought that goes into the messages the films portray and the time that goes i

Why I Love Disneyland Paris

-
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I like to visit Disneyland Paris as much as I can throughout the year. I am planning on visiting the other Disney Parks (that’s something for a whole different post) but Disneyland Paris will always be home to me. I love DLP for a whole array of reasons and one of them is most definitely how easy it is to get to my favourite place. Living in London means that it just takes me one tube journey to get to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar. We’ve even been lucky enough to get a direct train to Disney on occasion. Coupling this with staying offsite in the close by Ibis Budget (In Val D’Europe) and having Annual Passes, our visits to Disneyland Paris are more affordable – and leaves us with more money to spend in the shops! From the moment I step off the train in Marne La Vallée and walk the short distance towards the magic; I’m instantly transported into the bubble of Disney. This is only heightened when I finally make it into the park for the first

Disney at Home

With Disney being such an important part of my life, and with frequent visits to Disneyland Paris, it’s only natural that Disney is incorporated into various aspects of my home life. In October of last year, I moved into my own flat with my girlfriend and our best friend. Having a whole place to ourselves meant we were free to furnish it how we please, and obviously that had to include some Disney magic sprinkled around the flat. Our living room is home to our beautiful dark wood bookcase, in which the middle shelf is home to our growing collection of shiny o-ring DVDs. Thus far, we have 32 in our collection that sit underneath a bed of Tsum Tsums. On top of the bookcase sits two of my favourite purchases we’ve made whilst in Disneyland Paris: our working Cogsworth and Lumiere figurines. These two items are quite pricey so we saved up for them and purchased both on two separate DLP trips with the aid of our Annual Pass discounts. Alongside them sits our Mrs Potts moneybox and
