Wish List - Shopping the Anthropologie Sale!

I have been nosing at some of the sales online so thought I would put together some wish lists. It's unlikely I'll manage to buy any of it as I am trying to save at the moment, plus I have decided not to buy any more clothes till I drop this weight! But I can always dream!

Etsy Finds

Haven't done an Etsy Finds post for a while but I found these and just had to share them. So this post is dedicated to just one Etsy shop called Sapling Press - I am a little in love with all of them!!! Sadly the postage cost is extreme otherwise I would be sending the Dear Mary ones out for Christmas, lol! The cards are around £2.87 so are pretty reasonable if you are in the states. Let me know which is your favourite! You will find the whole collection on the link above, but here are my favourites!

So what do you think, would you send any of these?

Oh Vivienne How I Love Thee!

After the Japonesque consult and the St David's Xmas Shopping Event last week I was invited to the Vivienne Westwood new collection showcase. Ah you know how much I love me a bit of Westwood! 

Her new collection is a collaboration with a number of other top british designers.

The jumpers and jacket didn't really win me over but I am a little in love with the 70's style felt brimmed hats (maroon one in hat box above with blue ribbon, navy one in hat box bellow with black ribbon) they were made in collaboration with Lock & Co. Sadly they are £250!

And how amazing are her vintage style suitcases! Made in collaboration with Globe-Trotter they range from £400 for the mini (on shelf below) to £1285 for the larger one (cream one above)

 Then of course I had a good nose around the rest of the shop, it would have been rude not to!

 Loving the heeled bondage boot above! £375

 Oh how I love her bags!!

 I think the above colour collection is my favourite the black has a grey blue pattern to it, that is really beautiful!

And this dress below is my favourite item from the whole store, the whole season in fact. It is just too perfect! At £520 though it is a little more than I can ever afford!

X-rated images below! Please if you are easily offended do not read any further, but if you love a bit of Vivienne's humour and phallic imagery, look away and enjoy!!

Viv we salute you for your genius! 
Fingers crossed one day I will actually manage to afford something of hers. 

Review and Shopping the new Shoe Zone Winter Collection

I reviewed and styled a pair of the Shoe Zone Sandals in the summer time, so when they launched their new winter collection they got in touch again to ask if I would review a pair of their winter shoes! What girl would turn down shoes!

Anyway, I finally decided on this pair of double buckle knee high black boots, you will have seen them in my John Lewis Christmas PR Event Outfit Post last week, and I have been wearing them quite a lot this past few weeks. I chose the small heel as I find completely flat can often make my feet ache after a while, yet I can deal with bigger heels, plus high heels aren't too practical if it gets icy. The top part is shelrling lined so they fit really snuggly and are nice and cozy, great for keeping me warm in the winter.

I had a tough decision choosing which pair to go with, all I knew was that I wanted a pair of boots that would be good for the winter, but weren't too trend focused so they would last a few years if needed. Here are the other boots that were in the running, you can find them all on the site here, ranging in price from £19.99 to £29.99 they are all very reasonably priced!

Anyone bought a new pair of winter boots for this year?

Etsy Finds

Been having a bit of a snoop on Etsy, inbetween proofreading documents, this week, on the lookout for christmas presents. So here are a few of the beautiful things I have found

In love with this delicate Ombre Necklace from Laura Stark

Winter means a need to wrap up warm and I would like to do nothing other than that in this stunning hand dyed scarf from Scout and Catalogue

Animal Necklace anyone? Their Kitsch and cute and I want them all! From Mogo and Co 

Still on my homewares binge and I have a bit of a morbid curiosity around skulls - I love these planters from Mudpuppy

The morbid curiosity also runs to these shark teeth from Lux Divine

I love simple patterns, and elegant styles that wont date. This dinner set from Room for Emptiness is perfect

Most of you know I adore sliced agate, so it will be no surprise I love these agate coaters - just stunning, from Kirahley Kreations

So that's what I have been lusting after, what do you like the look of? Have you found anything you've fallen in love with recently?
