January Lust

Wednesday, 2 January 2013

I'm a bit of an Etsy fan girl and could happily buy out most shops on there. Unfortunately, my status as "poor, starving" student completely prevents this, but a girl can dream big, right? When I earn lots of big girl money one day they won't be safe any more! I'm a big believer in clothing that tells a story, an item needs to capture my imagination and take me away with it. That's when the need to buy gene sets in. Clearly marketing is working its magic on yours truly.

Here's a compilation of what I'm loving right now:

A Handmade Chic Rhinestone & Metal bead Decorate collar

To be found here. I've got a gorgeous, vintage pearl collar necklace in my possession at the moment, but this beauty would certainly add to the collection. I'm not even kidding when I say that I had a dream abut it the other night! I was at a fabulous cocktail party. The pearls look like little champagne bubbles, it caught the light just so as a dashing, dapper butch escorted me to the dance floor.

50s Party Dress - 1950s Dress - Pleated Black Beauty

This snazzy number was already in my basket for a moment and then I quickly remembered that it was just Christmas and thus it really wasn't mean to be. Maybe one of you will give it a new home? Pity really! Do you know that feeling when you find the perfect vintage item and all measurement sound like they were made for your body?

The College Prepster & Amanda Catherine Designs 'Pink and Green in Paris' Collection

I've been an avid follower of Carly's for a good 2 years now (I reckon it's the fact that we both have similar workaholic personalities with added amounts of 'crazy') and when I saw her collaboration on Etsy my little heart sang a little. We definitely don't have any wall space at the moment, but maybe in the new apartment!

wool cape coat Christmas sales (390)

Who doesn't need a cape? It looks so cozy and I could make whooosh noises while proclaiming my status as Bat Girl! Plus, that orange would take me right back to my favourite season. Autumn, of course! That colour is so reminiscent of the New England fall I remember as a kid.

Did everyone have a nice New Years Eve? Are you happy for 2012 to be over? Up and away for 2013?

Toodles,

Nina

  1. I love that little macaroon image in particular! Collars are very "in" these days, aren't they? I haven't really jumped on the craze but I definitely see the appeal. I love how they can jazz up an otherwise cute but plain shirt.

    I had a relatively quite New Year's Eve, but I'm surprisingly jazzed for 2013! I don't know why, I've never been big on celebrating the arbitrary changeover to a new calendar, but I'm hoping to do some great things this year :)

  2. I'm an Etsy fan girl too! I actually gave up online shopping for Lent a couple of years ago as it was gettin out of hand! I have my addiction under control now! I love the Peter Pan collar and the prints, and, well, all of it really! Beautiful finds. You have such a lovely blog! x

    1. Ooh, maybe that is something I should consider this year! I was briefly toying with a shopping ban for 2013, but even the thought of it made me panic a little!
      Thank you so much! I always get very giddy with excitement about new followers and comments.
