Wednesday Wants

This week winter has really set in so I have got some wednesday wants to cheer us up!

1) Moomin Hot Water Bottle - £12 from Topshop

How cute is this and who doesn't love Moomins? Cuddle up with a Moomin hot water bottle at night and keep toasty warm. Get yours 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. There is a whole set of these on the Whittards website and I think they are beautiful. Perfect for drinking your cocoa out of on a cold winter night Get one here.





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.

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.
