Wednesday Wishlist

Wednesday Wishlist 20.02.13 by frankiebuttons 

1. Unicorn Bouquet from ThinkGeek - Quite honestly, I still haven't fully forgiven Mr Frankie for not getting me this for Valentine's Day. I have partially forgiven him because we didn't "do" Valentine's Day and it has sold out but it's BOUQUET OF MOFOIN' UNICORNS. Look at how happy the girl is in the product picture, at her desk, letting all the little unicorns frolic around. She's like "hey guys this is awfully inconvenient I'm tryna work here" and they're like "but we're cute little unicorns yeeey." THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ME. Luckily you can get emails when it comes back in stock. As soon as it is, IT'S UNICORN TIME.
2. Topshop Green Spot Tube Skirt - I spend A LOT of hours wandering around Topshop, and this skirt keeps talking to me every time I'm there. I love their current Comic Girl collection, the Graffiti Tube Skirt is also a favourite (the print is amazing!)
3. Cat Tapestry Jacket - This is no longer a wishlist item as I now OWN IT, but I felt like it should be included anyway. Made by Where Are You Now Josie which unfortunately I can't find any info about online. I'm very sure I bought a Barack Obama dress off her at Clothes Show 2009 and she has previously had commissioned ranges for Topshop and ASOS. Very happy that this is now mine (after eBay frantic bidding wars)
4. Jeffrey Campbell Cat Tapestry Shoes - To satisfy my cat tapestry obsession (I also bought a pair of awesome shorts by Kimchi Blue @ Urban Outfitters) I need to complete my get up with some Jeffrey Cambell's. I would probably go for the Beebee design over the massive platform ones, I like the "rocking horse shoe"-esque design and they just look comfier. Also, cats. 
5. Extreme Largeness Poker Chip Necklace - My favourite from the new Rockabilly collection, this gorgeous necklace features little black and red suit charms, tiny Vegas printed playing cards and a real poker chip! All on a chunky gold choker chain, perfect accompaniment for a 50s dress. 
6. Topshop Hi Guys Metal Alice Band - Everytime I see this I want it more! It's completely ridiculous, I'll never wear it, it says HI GUYS on it... it's perfect! I want my head to say HI GUYS! 

Pixel Picks

Super retro pixelated graphics are popping up everywhere at the moment. Inspired by 80's nostalgia and 8 bit games, we know party rockers LMFAO are fans and we have seen Space Invaders style pieces in Topshop recently in their Spring Summer range.

Extreme Largeness paid homage to this look last season with their Pixelated Heart Necklace last season which comes in small and extra extra large for the gangsta nerd look.


Also a big fan of this awesome Flip Flop and Fangs Pixel Zombie Skater Dress from Blue Banana

Love the print and it would look ace with the necklace!

Extreme Largeness Varsity Patches

It's that time of year, January is a month of enthusiasm towards fitness and sport. Even if you don't actually participate, getting that gym membership and shopping for sweaters shows enthusiasm. Topshop's Say It Loud range combines comic inspired graphics with varsity slogans on sweats and oversized tee's. This style commonly associated with the high-school jock is paired with words like GEEK and DWEEB to create something tongue in cheek which looks great.

The Varsity Letter Patches from Extreme Largeness are great for creating this look and customising something plain. My grey hoodie is an old faithful, I wear it everyday. It has hair bleach on the hood and a hole in the sleeve, so it definitely needed some sprucing up. I ironed 2 of the patches onto the hoodie paying homage to varsity jackets and stitched around the edges to make it extra secure.

You can get 3 of these patches for only £5 online. They're really easy to apply, there's a blog available if you need a few tips.
