Birthday Wish List: Entertainment

I always appreciate a voucher I can spend at HMV or a book shop. There's currently lots of DVDs on my 'to buy' list including lots of Disney films we used to own on VHS but never quite made the transition and box sets of my most loved series.

1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. - My desire for this book is entirely down to tumblr. I've read so many quotes and seen so many softly edited photos of this on bedside tables and bookshelves alike that I waited and waited for it to be released in the UK. All I know so far is that the main character is a shy girl who feels much more comfortable within the confines of the online world than in person.

2. Arctic Monkeys 'AM' on vinyl. - I mentioned in my homeware post here that I wanted to display my most loved vinyls on the feature wall in my bedroom. AM is one of my favourite albums of the past decade so whilst the vinyl sat in the record player I'd like to display the sleeve in the frame.

3. Frozen soundtrack. - If you haven't yet seen frozen you're definitely missing out. Although I've gotta be honest and say I much prefer Tangled, the soundtrack to Frozen is unbelievable. Idina Menzel: just wow! I like it so much that I'm more concerned about getting the soundtrack than the film when it's finally released next month. Sings *Here I stand aaaand here I'll stay.. let the storm rage onnnnn*

4. DAB radio & docking station. - For years I've loved the look of the vintage style DAB radios with Cath Kidston-esque print but always thought they were a little too pricey (despite the fact I spend hours listening to the radio each day).Having written them off I somehow stumbled across this one on amazon that includes a docking station and is a bargain £69! I love colour and the style. It's perfect :)

5. New Girl series 1&2. - *Who's that girl?? IT'S JESS* I'm the biggest Zooey Deschanel fan and so New Girl is the sitcom of my dreams. Funny quirky girl hangs out with strange boys and inevitably falls madly in love with one. I've watched the series over and over on Netflix but when I love something so much I think it's only right that I have it on DVD too. I must admit, I've had mixed feelings about season three but I'm sticking with it.

What's on your wish list lately? Are there any film/book/tv recommendations you have for me? If you'd like to see the rest of my birthday wish list posts you can do so here.

Birthday Wish List: Fashion

1. Moon pendant necklace. - Lately my jewellery box (read shelf) is full of chunky statement pieces which is all well and good until I want to go for a simple understated look. This moon necklace is a simple, pretty go-to piece and not to mention an absolute bargain.

2. Blue cropped knitted jumper. - Perfect for spring, this will fit easily into my wardrobe. I'd wear it  on top of a monochrome polka dot blouse or on its own with some high-waisted jeans.

3. Toy Story Pjymamas. - Is it just me or is there a serious lack of Adult Disney/Pixar PJs from anywhere other than Primark. Even the Disney shop itself has a poor offering for us 'grown-ups'. Toy Story is my favourite Disney movie of all time and I've been looking for PJs (and a double bed cover) for so long! Finally Topshop have answered my prayers albeit with  a little hefty price tag for something I'll just wear indoors. Go to uni in you Pyjamas day anybody?!

4. LA mix tee. - I've fallen in love with so many on these American style jersey T's from Primark but so has everybody else and I see people wearing them everywhere. I saw this Project Social one in Topshop and kind of have my heart set on it now.

5. Acid wash skinny jeans. - For the longest time I've been trying to find the perfect acid wash skinny jeans or jeggings and definitely wasn't expecting to stumble across them in Asda! George's offering aren't quite as high waisted as I'd like but other than that they're perfect and for £14 I need them in my life!

6. White Chelsea cut-out boots. -Monochrome heels weren't ever something I thought I'd want. Especially ones that are predominantly white. I saw these online during one of my 'fill the shopping basket with things you love and then empty it and cry about how poor you are' sessions (I'm not the only one who does this right?!) and before I knew it I'd fallen in love and a hoard of outfit ideas were springing into mind. Now I haven't seen them in real life and when I do my opinion could change massively but for now they shall remain on my wish list.

Birthday Wish List: Homeware

I've been in the process of redesigning my bedroom for so long now but living half at home and half at uni makes it almost impossible to do it in a reasonable length of time. For my birthday I've picked out a few things I'd either like to receive, buy with my birthday money or treat myself to.

1. Record frame. - As part of my photo feature wall I'd use this to display my favourite vinyl records. You can end up paying a pretty penny for these frames but I managed to source this one for less than £2. Bargain!

2. Pink flamingo cushion. - My walls are cream and blue so any accent of pink in my room really pops. This cushion is from Fearne Cotton's homeware range on very.co.uk, it's definitely a range worth looking at if you're in the market for some new homeware.

3. Rob Ryan notebook. - Rob Ryan is my favourite artist. His ability to combine delicate laser cut with the most beautiful of words never fails to astound me. I already own a purse, mugs and calendar with his print on and I even own an original laser cut out but despite admiring them for years I've never owned a notebook. Now i'm trying to blog more this would be perfect for making notes and would sit very pretty on my desk.

4. Acrylic nail polish display. - Currently my go-to nail polishes sit in a line on  my desk and get changed around with each season that passes. Trouble is, I have so many that it's beginning to look a little untidy. This display would be the perfect way to organise them.

5. Bunny cake yankee candle. - Bunny + cake? Erm yes please! This sweet vanilla and coconut scent isn't too overpowering and the colour will look stunning in my room. It's part of their Easter range so I hope to get it whilst I can

6. Bunny tea light holder. - Also from the Yankee Candle Easter range, this adorable tea light holder would look perfect in my room all year round.

Birthday Wish List: Beauty

Hip hip hooray! It's nearly my Birthday! In two weeks and two days I'll be celebrating my birthday with family, friends, lots of food and undoubtedly lots of wine! I thought I'd share with you what's on my wishlist so here's the beauty bits I'm hoping to get my hands.

1. L'oreal Paris Miss Manga Mascara. I've tried countless different mascaras but never bought the same one twice because I haven't yet fallen in love. The adverts for this mascara promise volume with a brush that works its magic on upper and lower lashes. 

2. Barry M Silk Collection - Blue Mist. After first hearing about these on Barry M's facebook page I've been desperate to get my hands on them but I've been on a little spending ban. I've now read countless reviews and there's a few colours I have my eye on. Blue Mist seems perfect for spring and I don't have another colour quite like it in my collection.

3. Models Own Hypergel Nail Polish - Lilac Sheen. Another colour to add to my spring collection, I love the gel effect and the professional finish it gives to the at home mani.

4. Revlon Matte Lipstick - Pink pout. When it comes to lipstick I must admit I'm not so adventurous. This colour is right up my street and I've heard it's a great dupe for Mac Snob.

5. Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer. I've never ventured further than Collection's infamous offering that everybody seems to love but lately I've been looking for something different. I'm impressed with all of the S&G make up I've tried so far and I hope it stays that way.

6. Estee Lauder Eu De Parfum - Modern Muse. Around Christmas time I had a free sample and fell completely in love with this fragrance. I'm terrible at describing scents so I won't even try but it's worth a sniff if you're at the perfume counter.

I'd love to know what's on your wish list lately. Have you tried any of these products?
