wednesday want

my last wednesday want was a fortnight ago; a brief list of things i wanted/needed. i missed last week’s blog post, but as luck would have it, all but one of my wants were realised on the same day. my ruddbucks arrived, tim’s birthday present arrived, and my teeth got better. no decemberists tour, but i’m not holding my breath for that one.

it’s absolutely freezing here. autumn came and went in about two weeks and now it’s just bitterly cold, ALL THE TIME. have i mentioned how much i hate winter yet? cause i really, really do.

anyway. this week’s wants:

chandelier birdie – granny bag by gomonkeydesign

yellow birds – espresso set by louchelab

i’m too hesitant to order ceramics on etsy, as i’m not sure they’d survive the postage, but i’m seriously considering these.

wednesday want: clutches

i have a rather large collection of clutches and purses. they’re just so practical and versatile. who wants a big heavy big when you can take just the bare essentials? plus, when you go out for dinner it just fits right on the table, instead of trying to keep it safe between your feet.

wednesday want

technically it is now thursday, but i’ve spent all night prettifying the blog and didn’t get a chance to do this earlier.

i introduce to you a new, and hopefully regular, section: wednesday want. basically, i post pretty things! yay! on wednesdays, if i remember.

it’s getting colder. summer is winding down, the mornings are getting chilly, i find myself drinking more tea than normal. so my very first wednesday want will be all about how much winter sucks, and the few little things we can do to make those horrid months just a bit more enjoyable.

tea itself is already quite enjoyable, but can you imagine how much more fun it would be with a pretend moustache? want want want. from etsy seller breadandbadger.

market scarf in lemongrass:

i’m currently in love with yellow, and this scarf would look gorgeous with the fabulous winter coat i plan on buying this season (yet to be determined). from etsy seller beautifulbridget.

is it wrong that peter alexander is my favourite australian designer? he’s fantastic. it’s all about comfort, luxury, and being completely affordable. love it. to be honest, i could have picked any pair in the store, but i really love the various pink and purple shades in these. from peter alexander.

squirrel maryjane flats:

i would be very surprised if i ever wore these, but i think they’re simply adorable and would love to own them. does that make sense? i guess they’re not really my type, and not something i would normally wear, but i can’t stop wanting them. from etsy seller stopsandstarts.

rib finish trench coat:

i’m after a bright coat for this winter. i’ve got my eye on a few in blue and purple, but would really love a gorgeous mint green coat, if anyone can find one. can you tell i watch too much gossip girl? but this grey jacket, i adore. and how nice would it look with the yellow scarf above. ahhh, WANT. from witchery.
