Etsy Wishlist

As you may have gleaned from previous posts, I have a small obsession with Etsy. Okay, a big obsession. Just so awesome! I can't help it!

And with that love comes a ridiculously long list of things I am desperately wanting to buy... I'll try to narrow it down for you guys. Because believe me, it's long. Way longer than I care to admit.

1. Basically anything from the Starlight Woods shop. These earrings are a personal favourite, but really, all their stuff is adorable!

2.   This Les Miserables book scarf. That's right. IT'S GOT LES MIS ON IT. I find these scarves super cool - the shop has other books on their products as well, including Sherlock Holmes, Wuthering Heights, and Pride and Prejudice. So creative! The shop is storiarts.

3.   Zodiac sign constellation necklaces. I just love the idea of wearing a constellation in that subtle, lovely way... so pretty! I really love galaxy/constellation jewellery, it's gorgeous.

4.    THESE. I have a bit of a peacock theme going for grad, and these would go PERFECTLY with my dress and shoes! Plus, they'd be good for everyday use as well - simple yet a little bit of a statement. 

5.    These earrings, this entire shop really, is so delicate and lovely. Very pretty earrings, I love them!

So yes, that's my top five for now, and it was surprisingly difficult to narrow down that list... ah well, here they are. I tried to keep it mostly jewellery, but as you can see, that magnificent scarf found its way in there! 

What kind of things are on your wishlists? Any Etsy envy? :)

Things are good!

It's been a long week, but one of those weeks in which everything went really well. Things are just very... right. At least, for now they are! Nothing really substantial has happened, so this post is rather short and uninteresting, but, in short, my week has been uneventful in a good way.

First of all, I got a new ring! A while ago I made a post about how much I wanted a new ring, basically, and it's finally happened. It's a plain silver band with a light, greeny-blue square stone on it. So not fandom-related, no, but I find it gorgeous nonetheless! And it's a bit silly that I'm so thrilled about it, but hey. What is it they say? It's the little things? I agree with that.

I also went in to pick up my grad dress today (!!!) and am delighted to see that it needs almost no alterations, just needs to be shortened. And it matches the shoes I chose perfectly, which is awesome because I was going out on a complete limb buying them, hoping desperately the colours would work together. And they do, so that's nice! That and my recent acceptance to UBC (MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS) is making me super excited about my future.

So really, things are just great. I do still feel like going on a nice big shopping trip, so maybe that'll happen soon and I'll be even happier! But for now, I am perfectly content. Life is good, guys. Always make sure to love life.

The Watson to my Holmes

Lately I have been in a very jewellery-ish mood... in particular, rings. I'm feeling the need for a new ring, and that's the thing. (No puns, but rhymes. Not nearly as great, sorry). So I've been browsing Etsy and other places, and may I just say there are some GORGEOUS rings on Etsy?! Seriously! Here are a few of my personal favourites... ones that I am most certainly going to be considering in my hunt for my next ring.

• Okay, are these rings great or what?! Sherlock and Watson rings? I am definitely in! I am honestly going to get these one day. SO GREAT. These particular rings are made by this shop on Etsy. Utterly fantastic.

• Is this ring not lovely?! It is made by this person on Etsy. Go check their stuff out, it's all very pretty!

• One type of ring I lack is big, chunky statement rings, and I feel like this type of ring would fill that hole nicely. It is just so CLASSIC - the detailing on the band, the big gem. This particular ring is made by this person on Etsy. All of their items have this really elegant, stately look!

• And last but DEFINITELY not least, this incredibly adorable HP ring! Look at it! Look at its cuteness! I am a massive fan of this type of ring - the simple wire look - and would love a ring like this one, if not this HP one! This one is made by this shop on Etsy.

So basically what I'm saying is go look on Etsy if you're wanting amazing jewellery, fandom related or no! There is just an incredible variety of things on Etsy that constantly amaze me... the people on there are so talented and I love seeing all the cool, beautiful things that are made. 

Have good weekends! I'll be trying desperately not to purchase thousands of things off of Etsy!
