Christmas is around the next corner

So I’ve recently been inspired by a bout of organisation (VERY RARE) to get on to my Christmas Ideas.

Therefore I have been researching Christmas cards and wrapping ideas. Not actually committing to anything yet as it is FAR too early.

And also looking around for suitable presents.

I really like these rickrack cards by Martha Stewart.

And the idea of wrapping with plain paper for everyone but jazzing up the name tags with a little bit of a person personality.

Another awesome thing, would be to wrap with plain brown paper and use this tape as a sort of feature.

If you’re needing ideas on what to get me for christmas I would appreciate this recipe book, lamp or book. Or anything on this blog for that matter! =p

Fred Flare is my new obsession.

There is like, and eternity of awesome KITSCH. I didn’t know that much kitsch existed! It’s fricken awesome.

If you don’t recognise this phone, get your butt down to the video store and rent out Juno. It’s the most goshdarn funniest movie ever. I’m not usually one for laughing out loud at movies and it takes a bit to humour me when watching produced things, but this movie had me in stiches. I love the way Juno goes about things, her manner and ways, so awesome.

How many WEIRD looks would you get if you wore these on your legs. All I can say is WTF.

How fricken sweet are these ipod speakers! I have a collection of ipod speaker, one of those things with three legs that were quite popular around 2005/2006, a Transformers speaker, Plain sony ones and an awesome much used round speaker by some random company from the place in the UK where you pay for it and then wait for your number to be called before picking it up? What’s it called?

ANYWAYS.

I wouldn’t mind another set.

What a cool party cup idea!

I hate flash!

Currently out of stock =[

I really hate flash shopping sites. Oasis-stores.com. Darn you. I can’t even link to your store.

Anyway, there’s this gorgeous satin pleated box clutch there. Ahh, in royal purple. It’s divine.

Small post this time!

Threadless!

I’ve been a fan of threadless for a while now.

I’m not in the mood for writing but I need to note these spectacular dresses down.

Butterfly dress.

Cutest little dress ever.

Love sequins.

Would be cute as a junior bridesmaids dress.

Keen for ball next year!

There’s so many gorgeous ball dresses and evening dresses out there it’s hard to choose just one. I wish we had at least five balls a year just so I could wear my favourite dresses as of right now!

The top five arrrrrrreeee:

1) Marchesa Beaded Gown

Isn’t it just wonderful, it looks so flattering and flowy and ahhhhhh (sigh of regret that i’ll never own it)

2) Temperley London Evening Dress

Same sort of style as number 1, tight bodice, long flowing torso/dress bit.

3) Embellished Olive Charmeuse Dresses by Faviana

Sorry for the little photo, it’s the best I could link to.

4) and 5) (it’s a toss up between which comes first) These aren’t exactly ball dresses as such. But are still delightfully flirty and glamourous.

Thirty six to go!

I’m so into wall decals. The easy simple way of updating a room. I want some bird and tree ones or even personalised quotes and what have you.

Rockett St George is a plethora for quaint unique items, I could spend up a storm here. Some of my favourite items are the Black Tree Tealight Holder, the Metal Foliage Magazine Rack, these awesome crinkled paper bins and this world map decal which I can’t seem to link to right now.

Are these not dreamy! Just imagine them placed on your deck table, the candle light illuminating all your wonderful dinner guests, a warm breeze floats over you and the crashing waves are the backdrop to your conversations. Heavenly!

Nostalgi Candles

Sunshine!

I’m hanging out for summer! Barbeques, beach, sun, bare legs, pretty dresses! And even prettier accessories!

Incase you needed reminding.

Who doesn’t like a bit of peanut butter and jam!

Some more Etsy goodness coming your way.

Korewa nan desu ka?! Sushi USB desu!*

WOW. Look at those amazing colours! A feast of blues and purples. My all time favourite colours. But then again, I love ANY colour. I’m pretty much a colour fiend. I have to be restrained. I just can’t get over how amazing this skirt looks. Just. Wow. No other piece of clothing has made me speechless. I’d love to sleep with this, just so when i wake up in the morning I’m greeted by these great colours. It would make my days better!

This is super kawaii! An orignal funny take on the monkey evolution posters!

Attention Pokemon fans! Bet you haven’t caught these ones! From the Hotness Factory, filled with other witty clothing.

This clever diamond ring over at Melaniefavreau’s Etsy shop caught my eye. And this rad t shirt from ameliapmorris. I’d wear it for the lulz!

I think that’s enough for one post! Sorry about the photo overload…

*Excuse my japanese!

A-while

The longer it is between blog posts, the more delectable goodies I have to share.

I currently have 86 bookmarks in my Coveted folder. It seems I covet more than I share!

Diane von Furstenberg is one of my very favourite designers. I love the patterns and colours she uses. It’s a visual feast! She seems to make designs that suit a curvy girl a lot and I love her for this! Mostly I just adore the prints she uses.

This slash back dress is just adorable, I could imagine wearing it whilt flitting around Aotea Square markets in the summer heat, looking chic and cute. The colour is just wonderful!

This Rachel Pally dress has been sitting in my folder since the beginning but I’m still undecided on whether I like it enough to actually want it. Sure it’s grecian, flattering and rather striking in a plain way. But then it is just a sort of casual, jersey, rather plain dress. It seems to change in my mine everytime I see it. But since I’m doing a big bookmark clean up I may as well stick it up here.

I love the print and colours in this dress by ogekko from Etsy. Shame it doesn’t come in bid kid sizes! Might have to splurge on it for the little sister!
