Wednesday Wish List

Here are a few things I've got my beady little eyes on at the moment...

These post box bags from Vendula London are fantastic. I'd particularly love to add the post box cross body bag (#2) to my novelty bag collection. It would be perfect alongside my old Accessorize red phone box bag! There are several other designs in the post box collection, including purses, too, and they're all vegan friendly.

Tatty Devine Spider Monkey Necklace

I absolutely adore this spider monkey necklace from Tatty Devine. Isn't it gorgeous?! I only wish it was a little cheaper so I could afford it. 

Spider monkeys have always been my favourite kind of monkeys. When I was seventeen, I did four weeks of work experience at Twycross Zoo, assisting the primate keepers in caring for about forty different species of monkeys. (Twycross have many other animals but they famously specialise in primates). I worked in a different monkey house each week, and the most memorable was the week a young male black-headed spider monkey called Monty arrived from another zoo as part of the breeding programme. Monty was the sweetest little thing, and would come up to the glass or the mesh with his arms spread out asking for hugs throughout the day, each and every day. We couldn't give them to him, but his affectionate nature was adorable. (I can't remember if he'd been hand reared or not, but he was used to being handled at his old zoo). He was lovely, and quickly bonded with me and one of the keepers while I was there. I was sad when I had to leave him behind at the end of the week. It was almost sixteen years ago now, but I still remember him fondly. It's one of the reasons why I love, want, and need this necklace.

Being a colour addict I love accessorising my outfits with a good pop of colour, so I'm naturally rather taken with this acrylic rainbow heart gem necklace and matching earrings from Sugar and Vice. These would be ideal for Valentine's Day, especially if you prefer to avoid the traditional pink and red colour palette the holiday typically favours.

These Hepburn swing dresses from Lady Vintage are both so pretty. I'd love to add them to my collection to wear to death this spring and summer.

My thoughts are also currently preoccupied with these two gorgeous powder blue dresses from Lindy Bop. Naturally, the polka dot Polly swing dress is my favourite, but the daisy print Tally shirt dress is just as lovely. I could see myself getting so much wear out of both of these during the warmer seasons.

And last but definitely not least is a new dinosaur jewellery collection from British acrylic jewellery brand Kimchi and Coconut, which I'm totally obsessed with right now. The collection is made up of twenty-three necklaces and brooches, and features a variety of well known dinosaur species in a range of colours and finishes. The designs are all fantastic, and I'm having a hard time narrowing down my favourites, so my only option was to feature sixteen of them. You're welcome. I haven't been able to shop lately, but I hope I get to pick up a couple of pieces before they all sell out. You can find the full collection on their website here.
