Today I needed some cheering up and a little lightness injected into my life…and online shopping usually does just the trick for a while. In that vain this post is going to be a wishlist of all the things that I want to buy (and cannot really afford), that the naughty little spending gremlins keep nudging my hand towards.
I have been coveting these earrings by Sugar and Vice for months now. I saw them in an Instagram post a while back and have wanted them ever since. I have a two necklaces from the same amazing jewellery company – a custom word necklace saying ‘MAGNIFICENT’ and a sugar skull with roses mirrored beauty. All of the handmade jewellery is made super well and are very reasonably priced. One day, they shall be mine!
Oh Charlotte Tilbury, you enchantress you! Every woman wants to look like a silver screen siren and this does magical things to ladies faces. I have only seen this in YouTube videos and in others blog posts, but this beguiling palate of sculpting and highlighting loveliness needs to live with me. Contouring the face can work absolute wonders to ones complexion (and is an everyday staple to the Kardashian clan). Swoon. 
This ‘Invasion of the killer curves’ slash neck tshirt is just wonderous. I came across the website that sell them when scrolling through my Instagram feed and seeing the captivating George of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, wearing a couple in her photo. They range from small sizes all the way up into the plus sizes and I am absolutely in love with this one. 
I cannot explain to you how much I want this book upon my shelf. Gruesome horror for fans of YA novels, the book follows the story of a group of girls performing an exorcism on another girl…although their plan to rid the girl of evil may be more like torture. “By the shockingly twisted end, readers will be faced with the most haunting question of all: Is there evil in all of us?” So as a fan of young adult novels and the occult, I really want to read this. But even more than that, I need to own this book for its bewitching cover. 
A fan of Delilah Dust jewellery for a while now, when I spotted this delectable cuff this morning I knew it had to be added to my want list. I have had a thing for druzy quartz since I bought a ring with it in around 9 years ago, it was so glittery it sang to me with its siren song. After that it was fairly hard to get a hold of for a few years, but it seems to be a fairly widely used crystal now when looking for cheaper crystal jewellery. I still love it, and to have this masterpiece upon my wrist would make me extremely happy. 
This cute as a button puppy. I have long been vaguely obsessed with sausage dogs and I really need one in my life. Unfortunately my current dog doesn’t like any other dogs (or the post man, people wearing red, most men, hi-vis and potatoes), so I can’t get one. But every time I see one I want to cry with the cuteness overload. Just look at it!!! 
A Glow in the dark skeleton purse has me written all over it! My current phone case is black with a glow in the dark skeleton hand on it (an h&m halloween special). I love my phone case and I think it would only be right to also own a matching purse to sit inside of my goth-tastic hand bag covered in spikes and studs. If only I could find this in an actual shop so I could see the dimensions and the layout inside, all the important stuff. 
I would really like a years subscription to Oh Comely magazine, it isn’t even expensive at £22 but I just don’t have the spare cash at present. The magazine has features ranging from people, craft and music to art, food and film.The photos and illustrations are stunningly beautiful. Last year they even got their readers to do a box swap with each other. I was entirely jealous when I saw all of the heart felt and charming little things they all received when looking through the Instagram tag.
Gelato Gusto is located on Gardner Street nestled in the Laines of Brighton. Last summer when I was working near by and the days were oh so super hot, it was only right that we went and got some cooling refreshments…often. I have tried the Salted Caramel, Banoffee Pie and Rose with Dark Chocolate gelato – all more than delicious, but the best thing I have ever had (possibly out of all food, ever) is their Rose and Lychee sorbet. It was as if angels had come floating from the sky and the world had got a little brighter and shiner after the first taste. If you live in Brighton, even if you don’t, make sure to go out of your way to try some of the heavenly mouthwatering flavours on offer. You will not be disappointed. 
I have a confession. When writing this post and visiting all of the things that I really really want…I may have fallen prey to the 20% off everything summer sale at Crown and Glory. I may have just purchased this darling ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ headband in Bramble. I could not resist any longer after wanting one for years now. Look at how pretty it is though, can you really blame me? And with £4 off of my order it would have been rude not to. (One more justification – ) The colour scheme works all year round with these lovely purples in cadbury, aubergine and lilac too, so its not like I’ll just wear it in the summer. I could have done a whole lot more damage though, as everything is just beautiful. Glittery and girly and some with a gothic twist plus lucky dips worth £50 for only £20?! (another day…). Perfect for this seasons festivals too. I cannot wait for mine to arrive.
This post could be alarmingly long, but instead I have put some of the other things I need in my life into an Amazon Wish List. If you fancy having a peek at some, feel free to head on over. Also, if anyone would like to do a box swap, please let me know in the comments as I absolutely positively would love to do one!
