Christmas/Birthday/Forever Wishlist

As Christmas is coming up, I reckon it's a perfect time to get my core wishlist out in the world.

It's not exactly because it's Christmas time and I'll get these gifts (I get gifts but not like these because they're not from direct family aka mainly because we don't celebrate Christmas because Muslim) but because sales

As I said before, it's not like I'm going to get these gifts at Christmas, but maybe for my birthday or maybe the next time some these things aren't out of my budget.

So I'll cut to the chase. 



Here is my wishlist - 

American Apparel. According to most of the reviews I read on the American Apparel site, these jeans are apparently worth it. I didn't get to try them at the Oxford St store last time I went, mainly because it didn't hit me that American Apparel sells apparently great jeans. My pairs of jeans are disgustingly flimsy on my knees and calves and fit pretty well on my thigh. Hopefully I'll try these on soon and find a cheaper place (ahem ASOS) to buy them from... when I get money.
American Apparel. It's just a really pretty bag that looks conventional and made for someone like me. It's unfortunate that on either side, though, that Sydney's not featured on the white or black variations of the bag.
Lomography Australia. I have the Fisheye 1 and it's great. As it's summer and I'm forcing my friends to bring me to the beach with them, an underwater case for my beautiful camera would be perfection.
Unif. I've wanted this, or the tank top variation of this for an extremely long time. Probably for the reason that this is like the only thing, other than their shoes, that I can buy from Unif. Whatever. This is a beautiful sweatshirt.
Unif. If I go on a holiday and I own these shoes, these will be on my feet when I get on the plane and when I go through the airport and everything. Trust me.
Urban Outfitters. When I go to admire these shoes, they're normally on Karmaloop but they're kind of out of stock, so Urban Outfitters it is. I don't know. There's just something cool about these shoes that makes me really want them.
  
Black Milk Clothing. I've been a fan of this brand for a long time and ever since I saw this on This Is Why I'm Broke, I've kind of needed these. Slightly expensive, but it looks really pretty ugh.
Nikki Lipstick. Nikki is an absolute darling and her brand is kick-ass. When I went to her site for the first time, I was drawn to this sweater. How adorable is it? Extremely.
ASOS. I bought a pair of Doc Martens a few weeks ago but they were low cut and patent. My mum wants me to get a pair of these for when I wear dresses and to look like a "happier version of Daria". Thanks mum.
 
Lush Cosmetics. I love Lush and was so excited when they released FUN. I actually don't mind which colour I try, but this one catches my eye. The smell seems really great. Next time I walk into Lush, I'll pick one of these rolls up for sure.
 


So there's my wishlist... so far.

I have to jet because my dad's telling me to finish watching Red Lights (YAY CILLIAN MURPHY) with him. Hopefully if I remember what's going on in the next few days, I'll write a review.

Shall be back soon!

20th of October Haul/Sorry I Wasn't Around

Hi guys!

I kind of forgot to update this blog for a while, because I had no time (and maybe because I might of forgotten not really okay maybe I did

I'll quickly update you on what happened in my life since then. 

Alexa Chung replied to me on Twitter.

Basically that's it.

I cried when I saw this tweet in my mentions. I couldn't stop shaking, because I was so happy.


So on to my purchases from that one day I went to the city, aka the previous post.

Here's a picture of all my purchases and stuff.


Left to right - Clockwise: Two rolls of gift wrapping from Typo, Hello Kitty sailor iPhone case, Tigger iPhone case, Unlucky for Dirt soap from Lush, Times Square mug from Typo, purple stockings from Rubi, gray beret from Rubi, a stamp that says "tweetworthy" from Typo, three document clips from Typo, Snow Fairy from Lush, Legalize LA & Pantytime lip gloss from American Apparel and Ocean Salt sample from Lush.

I spent a bit less than 40 bucks that day and I was extremely pleased with everything that I bought - even if I did buy two extra iPhone cases (making that 7 cases, I think) and bought another mug that I didn't need.

I have no idea why I wrote this post, but all I suggest is for you to go check out Typo and possibly it's sibling stores (I've never heard that one before); Cotton On and Rubi, because not only is that stuff cheap, but it's well worth it.


As the holidays are approaching, I will definitely be blogging a lot.
Expect a Christmas/birthday/all year round wishlist because those are fun and I like new stuff.

Exams are tomorrow! Wish me luck!
