If any of you live in halls of residence or college dorms, you'll know how plain four white walls can really look and for some people, that's just fine. A flatmate of mine had his timetable up and that was it.

I am not one of those people. My uni room has always been full of photos, posters, motivational quotes and torn up magazines (though sadly when exam time calls, revision notes too.) Not only is it a great inspiration to have visual reminders and memories to help gaze the day away, it's also a great talking point for anyone coming in to visit!

We're trying to sell out house at the moment though so I've been pretty reluctant to plaster my walls with pictures and posters but if you've read my last couple of posts, you'll know how inspired I've been by the Olympics ... and now it's spread to my walls!

To prove that my room isn't just a Jess Ennis shrine (it isn't, it really isn't!) and to take my new camera for a spin I thought I'd show a few of my other wall decorations.

I absolutely love my room the way it is at the moment but I love decorating a new room too so that's why it's perfect for me to have a room at home and a room at uni - best of both worlds! Now I'm a little ashamed to say I spend a fair amount of time browsing the web for new room ideas before I go to uni and here are a few that I think I'm going to use as inspiration for when I head back in September:

I love, love, love fairy lights and I have a lot both in my room at home and when I'm away at uni. Not only because I'm still a little bit scared of the dark (embarrassing, I know!) but because they give a perfect ambiance for early evening or if you're watching a film with friends.

Now I've often had little bits of text on my walls and posters with quotes on them but after a lot of browsing, letter cut-outs seem to be the in thing - music lyrics, famous quotes or just words to live by, whatever takes your fancy. I'm currently in the process of writing down all my favourite lyrics, quotes from books and lines from plays to eventually narrow it down to what I want to put on my wall. It's harder than I thought!

When I head back to uni and decorate my new room, I'll update my blog with what I decided to do for decorations.

So is anyone else an avid decorator? What wall wonders do you all have?

As a typical bargain hunter, when I heard about the Fashion Vouchers competition I couldn't miss this opportunity to blog about it. Truth be told, I am a massive in-stole sale scourer but there a few cheeky websites that I like to check out too.

1. Fashion Vouchers

Since they're hosting the competition, I decided to start with them. In all honesty I hadn't heard of this website before but I really wish I had! Having vouchers for such a wide variety of stores and categories means there's something for everyone (and I'm definitely going to be showing this site to my mum when she gets home from work!)

2. Money Saving Expert

Although not primarily for fashion or beauty (though these are regularly included) this website has sales and nifty little freebies advertised all the time. I've signed up for their weekly email and there are always so many great deals advertised so it's a definite thumbs up from me.

3. Student Beans

Again, not solely for fashion but such a good website for students trying to save money. There are tons of fashion offers and I'd advise anyone who's a student to browse the rest of the website too!

4. Everything £5

Does exactly what is says on the link. It was actually my mum who introduced this website to me and it's invaluable really, for whatever you're looking for. I haven't personally purchased anything yet but my mum has and she's been very impressed with the quality of the clothes.

Five is my lucky number but sadly I couldn't pick a fifth website to include. However I would say to regularly check ASOS and Forever 21 as they have great sales on regularly and they are two of my favourite online haunts.

Anyone else have any great money-saving faves? Why not enter the competition yourself - there's a prize!
