Marble Scarf

Light weight, voluminous scarves are my absolute favourite and this one from Scout and Catalog is just perfect for the crazy Melbourne weather.

Three Leaf Pin

This little pin from Kiss the Frog Studio is just gorgeous. A sweet gift for an older lady in your life like an aunty don’t you think?

Shift Dress

shift

If I had killer pins like this, I’d wear shift dresses all the time. I love this one, it’s a touch too short for me but if you’ve got the legs for it you owe it to fashion to buy this.

Gathered Top

top

I absolutely love this top from Andra Cora – it’s like a modern Elizabethan cyborg top. Perfection.

Pink Glitter Cake Toppers

cupcaketoppers

I know these are totally useless but I just want to make cupcakes and stick these flags from Imeon Designs in them for nothing more than cuteness reasons.

Minimalist Make-up Organiser

We have what we call ‘the station’ at our house which is a small bookshelf for keys and mail. It’s now become the dumping ground for my makeup and I NEED THIS MAKE UP ORGANISER FROM LESS AND MORE IMMEDIATELY SO THAT MR SMAGGLE WILL STOP JUDGING ME!

Fresh Herb Bag

I hate wasting expensive herbs and this little eco bag from Harvest Haver Sack is perfect for making sure my left over basil doesn’t all green and mushy.

Asymmetrical Bangles

bangles

I wear a small stack of sterling silver bangles nearly every day and I’m working on making it a big giant stack and I’ve got my eye on these asymmetrical bangles from The Forma to add to my collection.

Plush Whale

whale

I just loved this gorgeous stuffed whale from Big Stuffed. I actually think this is an amazing wedding present… so just be warned if you invite me to your wedding… you may end up with this on the gift table.

What are you shopping for at the moment? Fancy new perfume? Some summer sandals? What’s on your wish list?

    I am not allowed to shop right now – pout. My husband and my credit card are in a state of shock. I might have replaced pretty much my whole wardrobe over the last 15 months due to weight loss. Shoes too, of course. Not talking to husband right now because he asked “what if you accidentally put it all back on”. I told on him to my daughters for saying that. But I love that whale – gorgeous.xx

      Haha, I LOVE your reaction! Men say the silliest things – good on you πŸ™‚ (Plus you SHOULD have a fab new wardrobe I reckon)

    • That’s a brilliant reason to replace a wardrobe! Bless hubby. I really, really loved the whale. I need to buy a present for the wedding I went to on the weekend and I’m really tempted…

        I love it so much I would keep it and then have to buy something else for the gift. Also got so excited about the whale, I forgot about the scarf, which is also fab.

    Dang it! That makeup holder is $133AUD plus freight! BUT I WANT IT!!!!

    • I know me too! I think I might get Mr Smags to make me one… a custom one with perfect holes for all my make up bits !

    You had me at Pink Glitter Cake Toppers! And the makeup holder. And the fresh herb bag. I think all 3 need to go on my Christmas wish list ASAP!

    • I completely agree. I totally nailed the list this week. I had a lovely time putting this together while Judge Judy re-runs. πŸ™‚

    Shopping (other than the window variety) is currently banned, due to vet bills (our bullmastiff, it turns out, has ruptured the cruciate ligaments in both knees – surgery is required….)

    LOVE the whale πŸ™‚

    • Oh lord that sounds awful! Best wishes for the little guy… I’m actually on a shopping ban myself. We just got a new office space (bit of a luxury!) so we’re backing off on the spending for a while.

      • Erika 9 years ago

        not so little girl, at 59kg πŸ™‚ ….and thank you

        And definitely get Mr Smaggle to do the makeup holder. I’d love to do it in aged wood (or drift wood). Just need the right drill bits! Which we have in our shed. Just saying πŸ™‚

  5. That makeup organiser is making my little Virgo heart beat a little faster… LOVE!

      Totally. Mr Smaggle is going to make that happen for me. Whether he buys or makes it, it’s his new top job.

    I like the herb bag idea but feel I would just end up washing mushy herbs out of it after leaving it neglected in the back of my fridge.

    I’m dying for some new sneakers but instead I splurged on these http://thewanderingeye.bigcartel.com/product/rainbow-boucle-hand-loomed-turkish-towel. My friend’s shop and so beautiful.

      I’ve been to buy one of those for ages! I love big scarfy type things! I hear you on the mushy herbs… that would totally be my thing too!
