Wish List

I am so so behind on my Christmas shopping, it's starting to worry me. Usually I already have the majority of my gifts either bought, made or at least planned but this year? So far, I only have one gift bought and a few thought out and that's it. It's a nightmare. I mean, gift giving can be so hard with some people. For example, I never know what to give my brother or my father. On the other hand, there definitely are people that are super easy to buy gifts for, like my mom or my sis. I am also one of those 'happy-with-everything' people. Plus if anyone didn't have a clue, they could simply check out my blog. So, in honor of the holidays and gift giving, here is my current wish list:

So with me, it basically comes to a few favorites. I love shoes, books & animals. Sadly, I don't think I'll be getting any new animal pals but if I could choose, I'd definitely pick this little guy:

OK, so I don't actually really know what animal this is (some kind of rat?) but goodness, isn't he so cute? Here's hoping. But realistically, I wouldn't mind some Melissa shoes:

The Dreamed by Mel Melissa Raspberry pump is a shoe I have been lusting after for a while now and would love to have. I really like the black version with the red heart or the nude version with the black heart. I also wouldn't mind the flats version - especially the black on black ones. So pretty. But honestly, I'd love almost any Melissa shoes. Definitely one of my most favorite brands!

Speaking of favorite brands, I wouldn't mind some shoes from Irregular choice either! I just checked the Irregular Choice website and there are quite a few shoes I found myself interested in...

"Another Lost Weekend" - such a cute name for a shoe and I adore that little brooch on the bow.

"Carpe Diem" - I love a sparkly heel. And the kitsch factor of this shoe. Sharks!

"Marshmallow Mountain" - I have a thing for slouchy boots and for marshmallows.

"Mosatccio" - some sparkle and a mustache;)

"Oz" - love the shoes, love the name!

Quite a nice pair of boots right? A bit simple for IC but I like them nonetheless. They're called "Party Pants".

"Wisker" - love that little kitty!

"Mary Elizabeth" - such interesting boots.

 I was a bit surprised that Irregular Choice have their own wedding collection of shoes because I hadn't heard of it before but it's been a while since I've been to their website and all. Anyways, I really liked these two pairs:

"Love & Magic" - such lovely detailing!

"We Found Love" - these are exquisite. Love the shape and that beautiful flower.

Phew, this is becoming a super long post right? Sorry, but I really love IC and couldn't narrow it down. Now, I'd get on to the books but I know I couldn't keep that list short either, so it'll come up in a different post (or you can check out my amazon wish list). That's it for today, see you tomorrow with some shoe saves.

Typically unusual

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating! I'm home with angina (tonsillitis) and after just two days home I feel like I'm losing my mind. So to keep myself occupied I'm drawing stuff. Above - dream shoe.

 Fancy dress with feather like detailing and below a casual look. I'm in no shape to be taking pictures (the bags under my eyes are far too big) so in order to have something to post, I thought I'd share this. I realized that I got my scanner/printer last year for Christmas from my sis and have hardly used it since! Was definitely time to fix that! I can't believe it's almost Christmas again - and so behind, usually I'd already have some gifts bought but this year I only have two gifts for the boy and that's it! I like to have everything ready ahead of time so that I don't stress myself out. Any gift ideas for parents and the boy's parents?? I find those the hardest to pick out!!

Sephora Santa

 After a looooong day at uni I went shopping/ looking around for Christmas gifts or inspiration. As my last stop (with not seeing anything worth buying in all my other favorite stores - this does not happen too often!) I went to Sephora and I ending buying three of these darling make-up casettes. One for my mum, one for my sis, one for the boy's mum. They WEREN'T cheap but you get a lot for the money. And they had a buy 2 get the third one free deal. So it was kinda a bargain..

 When you open the bow you get two palettes of eyeshadows. Each side holds 49 shades. That's almost a hundred different eye shadows! And really nice colors too!

 When you open up the casette more, you get two sets of lip glosses. 35 lip glosses on each side. That's 70 different lippies. Quite nice no?

In the last section, there's 6 cream eye liners, 5 eye pencils, 3 blushes and a set of brushes and a mirror.. I know my mum and sis will enjoy this, because they hardly use make-up and when they do go out somewhere they always used to look up to me to help them and now that I don't live with them anymore, they'll have this here box instead:) The boy's mum, now, I'm not so sure, but it's the thought that counts, no? :) What  are you getting your loved ones for Christmas? Ehm, is it too early to be Christmas shopping already?? Xoxox, MsVeve
