Wednesday Wants - Valentines Special!

Wednesday wants has been gone for a while but it's back now with my pick of the best valentines products! Everyone is loved up this week but you can enjoy these whether you've found that special somebody or not.

1) Frog Prince Ballistic - £2.75 from Lush

This cute little froggy smells of jasmine, neroli and rosewood and makes for a perfect aphrodisiac. It also contains cocoa butter and almond oil to leave your skin lovely and moisturised. This can't be bought online anymore but pop into your local lush store and pick up one before they're all gone!






2) Love Dipping Adventure - £17 from Hotel Chocolat

For the perfect romantic night in with your loved one.. or for a luxurious treat for yourself! This is two chocolate dips, one white and one milk, with a variety of bits to dip into them. Simply melt the chocolate dips and then use the biscuits, almonds, truffles and more to dip in them. Mmm bliss. Get one from here.


3) Valentines Cupcake Pyjamas - £7 from Tesco

Any excuse for some new pyjamas right? These are so cute with the heart and cupcake design. I may have to purchase a pair! Get yours here.








4) Heart Sandwich Cutter - £1.99 from Lakeland

Now this is just cute! While you waste quite a bit of sandwich.. the cuteness makes it worth it. I don't know about you but it reminds me of a cheesy romantic comedy where a girl makes her boyfriend some sandwiches and they open their lunch box at work/school and awww.. Get yours here.





5) Spray Heart Raglan - £30 from Topshop

I absolutely love this jumper and wish I could afford it! Its girly but not ridiculously girly and pink. Would be perfect with some grey skinnies and my boots. If you can afford one then get yours from here.








6) Hearts Valentine Mug - £5 from Marks and Spencer

What do you think? The perfect mug for hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream? I think so too! Get yours from here.








7) Cable Heart Hot Water Bottle - £6 from Paperchase

 I absolutely love this. It looks so cosy with the cable knit pattern and the pom poms are lovely too. Get one from here.








8) Fairtrade Divine Chocolate Hearts - £3.29 from Oxfam

 Bestill my heart - romantic and ethical. These beautifully package chocolates are made from cocoa grown by Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana. I love the dark chocolate ones myself but they're also available in milk chocolate. With these you can indulge while knowing you are doing good! Get some from here.







9) Heart Punchout Skinny Belt - £16 from Topshop

Wonderfully girly, this belt is gorgeous. It's a lot more than I would spend on a belt which is a shame because I love everything about it. I especially love the colour. Get yours here.







10) TY Always the Valentine Bear Beanie Baby - £6.95 from Amazon

Who doesn't love a teddy bear on Valentines Day? This little guy is so cute with his rose. If you haven't bought a Valentines present for your loved one yet (and shame on you if you haven't!) then get one of these to surprise them and make up for it! Get it here.

This Week's Wants (a bit late!)

Sorry I am late with my Wednesday wants this week, I spent all day Wednesday in the library! Here they are:

1) Hand Painted Panda Mug and Bowl - £10 from www.traidcraftshop.co.uk

How cute is this mug and bowl set? I love Pandas. It is handmade by the YMCA in Thailand so the money goes to a good cause as well! Get yours from here.







2) Butterfly Umbrella - £8.50 from Paperchase

Yesterday my umbrella got blown inside out so I need a new one! This umbrella is beautiful and is printed with different coloured butterflies. It can be bought on the new and shiny paperchase website here.







3) Cloud 9 Stationary Set - £5 from Paperchase

I have just started my third year at university, and like every september, I am currently obsessed with stationary. Paperchase do an amazing variety of cute and quirky stationary sets and this is one of my favourites. At £5 I don't think the price is too bad either! Get yours from here.






4) Short Checked Cotton Skirt - £29.90 from Nomads

I love most of the clothes on the Nomads website but this particularly caught my eye. This skirt is so cute and quirky. It can be used in an emo/goth outfit or just any outfit (I think I'd team it up with my "Team Edward" T Shirt and some black leggings!). On top of this it is ethically friendly too! It is also available in red. Get one from here.






5) Oasis Hooded Duffle Coat - £85 from ASOS

I really want a new warm coat for the winter and I think this one is really bright and eye catching. It is a bit expensive for me though! Get yours from here.








6) The Dark Side Nail Polish Set - £8.50 from Eyeko

I've never ordered from Eyeko but I love the look of most of their nail varnishes. Every year as the weather gets colder, I start putting away my bright neon and glitter nail varnishes and turn to my trusty blacks, purples, blues and dark reds. This set really caught my eye and for £8.50 I don't think it is badly priced! It contains three colours: Cosmic Polish (black with silver glitter), Vampira Polish (black with red glitter) and Indigo Polish (dark shimmery blue). Get your set here.




7) Pom Pom Slipper Boots - £16 from Accessorize at Monsoon

My feet get really cold at this time of year and what better way to keep them warm than these cute and warm slipper boots. I am dying to buy some of these! If your willpower is anything like mine and you have money to back it up then get a pair from here.







8) Longline Purple Cardigan - £70 from Monsoon

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. It is so sophisticated and lovely. Shame about the price tag! If you can afford this then get it here.


9) I'm Toasty PJ's Set - £35 from David and Goliath

I love the clothes from David and Goliath and this Pyjama Set is so cute! The only criticism I have is that I don't think I would be toasty in that top in the winter (which is when I wear long PJs) so I think it would be better if it had long sleeves. Still, I would buy these if I could justify it! Get yours from here.






10) Bat Necklace - £5 from Must Destroy Jewellery

Halloween is on its way and Must Destroy Jewellery have just come out with their halloween range. I love this bat necklace, it is so emo and cute! Get one from here.

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.
