Autumn wishlist 2016

A few of the things I've been coveting lately:

Parts Of A Flower EP - Dear Boy

Dear Boy are one of my favourite bands and they released their second EP, 'Parts Of A Flower', a couple of months ago. I immediately bought the 4 songs on iTunes but I prefer to have my favourite music in its physical format with the artwork and everything to hold but sadly they don't ship to the UK anymore. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere that they will ship to you can buy a copy from the band's Big Cartel store, otherwise I recommend checking it out online.





Transparent jacket

 I spotted this jacket while scrolling through Tumblr and I've had the link to the store bookmarked for a little while. This jacket is so tacky and ugly but so shiny and colourful and I'm so on the fence about whether or not to order one. There are a few things putting me off, like the fact there's no hood, I'm not even sure if it's waterproof, and I don't know whether it'll arrive looking like the photo or if they'll send a cheap knock-off version.
If you're willing to test it out for me, buy it here.





Flatform plimsolls


I used to have a pair of shoes like this a few years ago and I wore them until they fell to pieces. These days I live either in regular plimsolls or ridiculous platforms and these are the perfect middle ground. I haven't been able to find any on eBay which is where I usually do my shoe shopping but when I was looking for a photo to use here I found that New Look are selling the ones to the left so I'll be putting in an order very soon.






'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt postcard

I'd like a copy of this painting to put up on my desk at work, not just because it's a gorgeous painting but also for the memory attached to it. "Which artist created The Kiss?" was a question at one of the pub quizzes my work team went to and we had to fight for the point when the quizmaster stated it was Rodin. I said afterwards that I'd get us all Klimt pictures for our desks and I haven't got them yet so I'll have to get on that soon. I'd also like some Warhol pictures and maybe a copy of Starry Night too.



Vertical striped tights


I did have a pair of these from H&M which were my favourite tights but the ladders in them got so big that I had to say goodbye this morning. As of now I'm on the hunt for a new pair of vertical striped tights but the shops don't seem to have patterned tights as much these days so I reckon I'll be heading off to eBay. The pair in the picture are by Pamela Mann but I won't be paying £9 for a pair!
