Lavender, gold, pink, and hints of yellow are dominating my Etsy wishlist this month. It’s almost 100 degrees this week in Los Angeles, so a new pair of sunglasses is a must. I never knew how much I wanted new ones until I saw this Etsy shop (above). All those retro shapes… Amazing. And my phone could use a little protection, too, last time it was this hot I accidentally left my phone out too long at the beach and the battery almost exploded. No joke! I had to buy a new one.

east magnolia vintage | spring 2014

My birthday is in less than two weeks so naturally my urge to shop is growing exponentially. I satisfied some of it by snagging myself some treats in the form of dresses and jewelry at the flea market yesterday but i’m going to be in my mid-twenties… let me say that again… MID-TWENTIES (it’s a big deal!) which has got me going back and forth quite a bit emotionally, and I think retail therapy is the temporary fix I need. Suddenly I want to change my wardrobe style completely and start from scratch. Do you ever get that way? Anyway, here’s what’s on my internet birthday wishlist, and expanding by the minute…

Crystal bomb necklace by Debra Baxter for Beklina. I’ve been looking for nice, high quality, raw crystal or mineral necklaces forever and knew these were perfect. And they’re on sale for an extra 30% off. I’d have already bought it for myself if I didn’t realize that the silver one is the only one left in stock! Too good to be true, I really wanted a brass chain. 🙁

Art yarn. Have you ever used art yarn? I’m completely in love with this handspun yarn by Yarn Mantra on flickr. They haven’t uploaded anything on Etsy in awhile but if this was listed–it would be mine. Head on over to flickr for more OOAK yarn. Basically, moral of the story: you always want what you can’t have.

Happy Friday! I’m spending the weekend in Seattle, which I couldn’t be looking forward to ANY more! I haven’t been home since I moved to California 9 months ago. It’s a quick trip, and all I know for sure is that I’ll be drinking lots of coffee and hanging with my family.
