Wednesday Wants

It's been a hectic week of university work and I barely had time to do my wants! But I worked it out and here they are..


1) Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat - £5.95 from Amazon


I really want one of these! I've seen it all over the blogs I read as well as the forum that I frequently go on. Seche Vite protects your nail varnish as well as helping it to dry. I am desperate to get my hands on a bottle of this. Get yours here.






2) Cute Birdie T Shirt - £18 from ASOS

This T Shirt is so me. I adore the design but I do prefer my t shirts to be tighter than this generally. Anyway I'm thinking the outfit that the model has on but with 3/4 length black leggings and some pumps would be a brilliant spring/summer outfit! Get your T Shirt here.







3) Black Multi Square Abstract Print Scarf - £22 from Debenhams

I am a sucker for scarves and have a ridiculous number of the woolly variety. However, once it gets to spring it's too warm to wear my cosy scarves! I turn to this sort of material/style and I own a couple already. This would make an excellent addition to my collection. Get yours here.






4) Off White Pleat Dress - £46 from Topshop

Not my usual style this one, much more elegant! I think it's really pretty though and would love something like this to wear in the summer when it's really warm. Get yours here.







5) Sketchy Monkey Vest and Short - £20 from La Senza

Spring is an excellent time for new pyjamas with the weather getting warmer and the spring cleaning underway! These pyjamas will help you not overheat during the night and look cute but simple at the same time! Get some here.







6) Stripe Longline Top - £16.99 from New Look

I have a top similar to this already in blue. I got it from Primark last year and loved it but it's wearing thin already. I love the shape of this and purple is my favourite colour! Over some black leggings I think this would look awesome. Get yours here.







7) Coral Seedbeed Bangle Pack - £12.50 from Dorothy Perkins

The colours in these bangles go really well together and I think the whole set is absolutely beautiful. Get yours here.








8) Booja-Booja Raspberry Ecuadorian Chocolate Truffles - £4.98 from Goodness Direct

I had some Ginger Wine Booja Booja truffles at Christmas and they were absolutely amazing. These beautiful chocolates are vegan and therefore dairy free which means I can eat them! They're rather expensive (this pack is only 100g) but they are definitely worth it. I now want to try the rest of the flavours so if anyone wants to buy me a pressie.. hint hint! Get a box of your own here.




9) Pastel Collection - £20 from Models Own

I've not had the chance to try this brand yet and have heard some good reviews. There are a few boxsets on the website that are total bargains and this is the one I want. Pastels are the colours I want to wear when it gets to this time of year! Check them out here.

10) Tonal Spot Red Dinner Plate - £6 from Whittards

I always imagine my own kitchen full of snazzy china from Whittards! I always ramble on about their patterned mugs and teapots but the plates are pretty awesome too. Get one of these here.

Weeks Wants!

Time for this weeks wants! I actually started writing this yesterday but I forgot all about it and fell asleep so I'm finishing it today instead! There is no theme this week so these are just bits that I've found during the last 7 days.

1) China Glaze Knotty Nauticals Anchors Away Collection - £46.93 from Amazon
Look at these pretties! I've seen these on lots of blogs recently and really want some of my own. They are perfect colours for the summer. Get yours here.




2)  Etchy Heart Knit Jumper - £21.99 from New Look

While spring is on its way, it's still cold enough to wear jumpers! I think this one is really cute and girly in an understated way. It's lovely and I think I would get a lot of wear out of it! Get one here.









3) My Chemical Romance T Shirt - £13.99 from Amazon

I couldn't afford a T Shirt when I went to see My Chemical Romance last week which is a shame because I love having a T Shirt from each gig I go to. I think I'll be getting one of these even if it is too late! You can get one too from here.



 



4) Ocean Colour Scene Mosely Shoals T Shirt - £18 from MAM


Same reason as above for this one! I'm definately going to be getting one of these when my money goes in! Get one from here.









5) Love Solid Perfume - £7 from Lush


This is an absolute must have for me! I absolutely love this fragrance and have the small sample vial from when it was in B Never. It is also the same fragrance as Love soap from a few years ago and Fizzbanger Ballistic from the current range. Cinnamony, appley goodness mmm. Get one here.











6) Winnie The Pooh Tea for One Teapot - £18.75 from Whittards

How pretty is this? I always drink tea on my own so a teapot for one is perfect for me. I love the shape of it as well and it is a bargain at £18.75 instead of £25! Get one here!









7) Crayon Pen - £3.99 from I Want One Of Those

Major love for these pens! Just look at them, they are amazing. Get one for your own from here.








8)Gothic Mickey Mouse T Shirt - £60 from Disney


Gothic and Disney, not two words I would usually put together! This T shirt is just amazing. I love the diamantes that make Mickeys face, I love the colours and I love the grumpy look on his face! I do not however love the price.. get one from here.






9) Peace Studs Belt - £9 from Claire's
I love this belt a whole lot. It appeals to my inner hippy! I wish I could head down to Claire's and snap one up but I can't. You guys can though!







10) Betty Rouched Bow Brown Leopard Ballerina Pumps - £22 from Accessorize

I used to be addicted to different designs of Ballerina Pumps and the addiction never totally left me. How pretty are these? They would be perfect in the summer with some skinny jeans and a nice floaty top! Get a pair from here.

2) Rocket Dog Faux Fur Boots - £99 from Littlewoods

Don't these look cosy and wintery? I had a similar pair from Primark last year but they didn't last very long. I think it might be time to invest in a pair of Rocket Dogs! Get yours here.







3) Cartoon Skull Tunic - £21.99 from New Look

Well this takes me back to my emo schooldays (only 5 years ago!). I love jumper dresses and I love the cute pattern on this one. Perfect with some wooly tights and some knee length boots for a lovely warm outfit. Get one from here.






4) Venomous Villians Mineralise Eye Shadow Duo - £16 each from MAC

Mac have just released their Venomous Villians Disney Collection and this is the product which interests me most. The colours are awesome and wintery and I love the design. Check out the rest of the collection here.



5) Maddy V Neck Cardigan - £50 from Monsoon

Some cardigans are practical but make you look chunky and a bit silly! This chocolate coloured cardigan has a very flattering cut and I love the length of it too as it can be easily worn with leggings. Get one here.







6) Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Mug - £10 or 2 for £16 at Whittards

I love Alice In Wonderland and I especially love the Mad Hatter. This mug encapsulates the magical story without being garish and childish.

7) Teal & Gold Fulia Silk Scarf - £28 from Traidcraft

I'm not sure how warm this scarf would be so it might not be very practical but look how pretty it is! You might think that £28 is expensive for a scarf but this is handmade in India by a lady called Sasha. Read about her and buy your own scarf here.







8) Chai Shower Gel - £12.50 from Lush

Chai is my winter staple from Lush but unfortunately I haven't had any money to order it yet! It is a gorgeous spicy shower gel that smells like Chai tea. It is warming on the skin and the smell lingers all day (especially in the hair!). Chai is only available online as it is a retro Lush item. Get a bottle here.





9) Long Sleeve Tunic - £34.99 from River Island

This top is just lovely. I really like the style and the colour, it would brighten up those winter days! If you like it as much as I do then get one from here.







10) Soup Maker - £138.99 from Lakeland

I love making homemade soup in the winter but often don't have time to do it all. This machine looks amazing because it chops, boils, simmers and blends. It basically carries out all of the soup making steps and at the end you have some gorgeous homemade soup. I can't in any way afford this but I can dream! If you can then get one from here.

Wednesday Wants!

This weeks wants are being done on time!

1) China Glaze "Awakenings" Halloween 2010 Set - £19.95 from Amazon

I've never used China Glaze nail varnish but their collections always catch my eye. They do seem quite expensive as they work out at around £5 each. This collection includes Zombie Zest (green with glitter), Ick A Body (dark green with orange glitter) and Mummy May I (purple with pink glitter) as well as a top coat. These are only limited edition so if you want to get yours then pick it up here.


2) Villette Lace Mary Jane Pumps - £20 from Topshop

I don't often wear pumps in the winter and so most of my wants of recent have included boots. However, I saw these on the Topshop website and fell in love with them. They are so pretty and cute! Get a pair from here.








3) Dragon's Blood Necklace - from £8 at Shottle Bop

I love these little bottles from Shottle Bop. This is one of the halloween specials. The other two that caught my eye were Vampire Venom and Pumpkin Juice. You can even get them with little spoons! Get yours from here.






4) Team Edward T Shirt - £24.99 from Truffle Shuffle

Embarrassingly, I already have a Team Edward t shirt (of the Cullen variety!). I would prefer this one though! This shirt pays homage to the original Edward from Edward Scissorhands. It is one of my favourite films and I would kill for this top! Get yours here.







5) Go Away I'm Reading Mug - £9.95 from the Literary Gift Company

This mug is just so "me". I love it. Enough said. Get one from here.









6) Banana Guard - £4.99 from Lakeland

Do you hate it when your bananas get squished in your bag? Yes?? Me too! I really want one of these... they are funny but also practical! Get one from here.








7) Tia Tie Dye Bodice Prom Dress - £8 from Boohoo.com

This is more of a summer dress really but it definately caught my eye. I love the colours and the style. If you want one of these you'll have to act quickly as it is in the sale! Get one from here.








8) Heritage Rabbit Top - £14.99 from New Look

I totally love this top. It's very Alice In Wonderlandy and I think it is beautiful. If you love it too then get one from here.









9) Cream Cable Longline Cardigan - £42 from Miss Selfridge

This cardigan just looks cosy and lovely. A plain top, leggings, ugg boots and this cardigan would look nice I think. It would also be lovely and warm! Get one here.








10) Marzibain Bubble Bar - £2.75 from Lush

This years christmas Lush will be released on Friday and I plan on telling you all about it then. Until then.. I have been wanting one of these for a while and it is definately one of my wants of the week. This bubble bar smells like marzipan (just like snowcake soap). I've been using my snowcake recently and I love it so I would love to have one of these to pair it with!

Wednesday Wants!

Time for this weeks Wednesday Wants!

1) Suede Strap Boot - £39.99 from New Look

These look lovely and warm for the winter. I am looking out for some nice waterproof boots/shoes to keep my feet warm and dry in the coming months and these look perfect. Alas they are leather so I wouldn't buy them. I would have to find a similar pair which are animal friendly. These boots are available in black, dark grey or stone henge. Get yours here.






2) Tea For One in Cloud 9 Design - £13.50 from Paperchase

I love my tea and I don't usually share it with anyone. This cute tea for one set is a little teapot that holds just enough for one person and a cup and saucer. The cute design on it is brilliant and I would love to make my tea in this! It would also save me having to make multiple trips downstairs for refills from the kettle when I am busy essay writing in the winter. Get yours from here.





3) Wake Me For Cookies PJ Set - £25 from Topshop

The colder weather makes me want to lounge around in my cosy pyjamas even more than usual. These pyjamas are really cute and I would probably wear them with my chunky red cardigan and some fluffy socks. Get a pair from here.








4) Art of Darkness Nail Varnish Set - £39.50 from Illamasqua

I had never heard of this website until somebody else posted it on their blog and I had a nosey. I found this gorgeous set of nail varnishes in their autumn/winter collection. They look amazing but I would never pay that much for nail varnishes! If you can afford them you can get them from here.






5) Military Belted Coat - £80 from Topshop

It is an annual tradition for me to buy my winter coat. If I had £80 to spare this would be the one I would choose this year. It is a gorgeous military style coat that reminds me very much of Captain Jack from Dr Who! Get yours from here.








6) Mela Poppy Gem Tunic - £27.99 from New Look

I found this gorgeous tunic on the New Look website. The model wears it as a dress but I think I'd wear it with my black 3/4 length leggings and black pumps. The weather is probably getting a bit cold for this now so I would also wear a nice cardigan with my outfit. The colours are lovely and so is the bubble style. If you love this tunic then get it from here.






7) Bite Me Tee by Little Fox - £25 from Topshop

As a big fan of all things vampire, I adore this t shirt. I would love it more if it was more of a skinny fit as this is how I prefer my t shirts. I still want it though! Get yours here.








8) Recycled Owl Mid Year Diary - £8 from Paperchase

I have just started the third year of my Zoology degree and have yet to buy a diary to keep me organised. This one is so cute and I think I might venture into town and get one of my own. If you have no paperchase near you then you can get one from here.







9) Pom Pom Knitted Beanie Hat - £14 from Topshop

This is one of the cutest hats I have seen in a while. It reminds me of being a school girl. I love woolly hats in the winter and this is a really nice style. Get one from here.








10) Pocket Stitch Satchel - £14 from New Look

I think this bag is really cute and it has an across the body strap which is a quality I really like in bags! It is made of fake leather which means it is animal friendly. The website does not tell me what size this bag is but from the look of it on the picture, it looks just big enough. You can also get it in brown. Get yours from here.
