Christmas 2011

Today I thought I would share some of my favourite Christmas pictures with you.

All I Want For Christmas....

Today's post is something I have lusted after forrrreevverrrrr!! I wouldn't necessarily use it for the purpose it was used for but I would definately love for it to feature in my house. What is it you ask? Well, it is an antique cash register. They are very rare in Australia and very very hard to come by. If I ever find one for sale in excellent condition and at a great price I know my thrifting angels are looking after me.

Is a constellation mirror from Laura Ashley. For a few years now I have always picked up a copy of the Laura Ashley catalogue and have lusted after their starburst mirror. I am not sure where I would put it, but I am sure I could find a spot somewhere.

All I Want For Christmas....

Is a man style watch. I am not sure if it's because I have seen so many bloggers wearing them or if its the fact its a little bit different, but I really want one of these! If I don't get one for Christmas I might see if I can pick one up in the post Christmas sales. I think they look pretty rad!

All I Want For Christmas....

Is a bar cart!! I have lusted over these for so long but have never been able to find one, online online and in other countries. They are perfect for any entertainer and a great place to display all your glamorous crystal and beverages. What more could a girl want? My favourite is the last image.

All I Want For Christmas....

Is this gorgeous mixed tumblers, jug and tray.  I love colour and these little beauties come in nearly every colour you can imagine. They are not easy to find though, I have only managed to see them for sale online. Whatever your favourite colour or if your like me and want one in every colour.

All I Want For Christmas....

Is this gorgeous Wedgwood tea caddy which is part of the gorgeous Harlequin Butterfly Bloom collection. As a tea drinker, I cannot think of a better way to store your gorgeous tea leaves or tea bags & it is something you would cherish forever and ever. Sorry I cannot find a better photo, there is nothing on the wedgwood website.

Coloured Jeans

I absolutely love love love colour and at the moment I am totally loving coloured jeans! They offer a great alternative to plain black or blue and gives you more options to further develop your wardrobe. The only question is... I cannot decide on a colour! I think that I definitely want a red pair and possibly pink, green and turquoise. I used to own a pair of purple Lee jeans and now I am really wishing I didn't sell them on eBay! So my hunt continues....

Recent Purchases

I thought I would start to post all the different things that I buy and also a few outfit posts. Over the last week I have ventured out to the shops and made a few small purchases... all the items were all on sale! I scored the scarf and nail polishes from Sportsgirl. I love the floral and check print of the scarf and lucky for me it was the last one left. I can just imagine wearing this with a cute pair of jeans, a basic pink tee and the scarf as a bandana. The nail polishes are both great colours, the lime green is a great summer colour mixed with the perfect tan and the teal is a great all year colour. The one piece is from Trade Secrets and is so 1950's I absolutely love it! I never used to be a trade secrets girl, but it can be surprising what you can find, although it's one of those shops where you have to be there at the right time. Those swimmers were the last ones in my size. The handbag is from Forever new which is also very vintage inspired. I cannot wait to wear it with a pair of tan wedges, my aqua peterpan colour blouse and jeans or cut off shorts.
