Etsy Holiday Gift Guide #3 My wish list


Over the last 2 weeks I have been sharing my favourite Etsy Christmas picks and so far I have posted about Christmas cards and stocking fillers and today's post is about the pieces that have made it to my Christmas list.


My christmas list


I have been learning to crochet for a few months but I just cannot get into the swing of it and I am desperate for a crochet blanket for this winter.

Jillian Holtzmann is my new girl crush - she inspires everyone to embrace their weirdness !!I think  Capybara are very cute and these cushions would just make me smile every time I saw them on my sofa.

The wall hooks and faux taxidermy are small parts of a huge wall display I want to make out of my jewellery and accessories. I also have purchased from both sellers in the past so can attest to the fab value and quality.

This jewellery set from Atuko is just gorgeous - all of their jewellery is modern and fresh and minimalist and just what I need to add to my collection for those days I'm feeling a bit more understated.

You can never have too many pins or Llamas in your accessory collection.

I can never keep my nails looking nice so a fab set of falsies, especially ones as amazing as these, would be very well used and loved.

Continuing the marble theme, these earrings are just beautiful and look so much more than the very affordable price tag.

Embroidery is everywhere at the moment and this clutch is gorgeous and classic and understated and all those other adjectives that describe beautiful accessories.

Christmas isn't Christmas if copious amounts of chocolate are consumed and what better way to do that than with a whole selection of flavoured white chocolate goodies (you can't beat white choc).

I have chosen these earrings from Martha Rotten to feature but in reality, any single item from that shop could have made it to my wish list - everything appeals to the darker side of my aesthetic.

If you couldn't already tell, my taste in jewellery is very eclectic and I like to own something to suit every mood and occasion and at the moment I have a hankering for bamboo bracelets to stack with bakelite bangles.

As well as being practical, this makeup bag just makes me grin. I love Harry Potter and everything associated with it and the older I get the more enjoyment I get out of people's surprise at this fact.

So there is my Christmas list, do let me know what's on yours and feel free to leave links to your blog posts.

Throwback post WWCW // Denim Jacket with Patches

I posted this blog in January 2016 - expect to see an update on the Denim Jacket in the next few weeks My first ever style icon was Clarissa which is probably showing my age somewhat and I have decided that 2016 is the year I go back to my (un)fashion(able) roots and make clothes fun again. To do this I am going to ask myself...   WHAT WOULD CLARISSA WEAR?? Answer number 1 is a pair of denim shorts with patches which isn't really suitable given my age so the next best thing.. A denim jacket with patches along the lines of these... I have yet to get the jacket (off to eBay I go) but I have already decided on a number of patches and pins (all of which are from Etsy) which as always I wanted to share. My Little Pony Applique Rarity Iron on patch HA FunnyPatch $3.10 Pawnee Goddesses Patch PopCulturePatches $14.00 Plague Survivor Geek Merit Badge Patch StoriedThreads $8.00 Fashion Plates Patch fairycakes £6.00 ...

Filling up the creative well when you are struggling....

Maya Angelou famously said “You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” but I am sure I am not alone in not struggling with the concept, especially at the moment. Anyone who knows me personally will know that I have battled with my mental health for over half my life and despite an amazing support circle, the right medication and a whole toolbox of tools, sometimes my mood just dips that little bit lower than normal and despite a real urge to create (something, anything !!!) nothing appears.  I am by no means an expert and I sat here writing this rather than creating, so read into that as you may, but there are a few things I have been doing recently to try a keep my creative spark alive until something clicks and I can spend a few hours creating for me again. 1. Keeping up with my favourite creators on Social Media Dina Wakley is a huge inspiration of mine after first seeing her  on YT a few years ago, and she has been so generous wi...
