This time last year I was getting all excited about the arrival of friends from all over the country, spending ludicrous amounts of money on tiki-themed decorations, and wondering how many boxes of wine (yes, I said boxes) I would need to keep the masses hydrated. This year my birthday will pass by without fanfare, and I’m quite happy about that. But it won’t stop me doing a very self-indulgent wishlist on my blog…
Yes. I’d wear it in Vegas. Possibly with a matching headband like Katy Perry. Mostly because I know it would annoy the people I’m there with, but also because it’s a dress with playing cards on it, it’s only £25 and it’s available in my size. This is fate.
My laptop is both cheap and heavy. I want one of these beautiful little things so I can write my novel on planes, trains, buses and the tube. And then get mugged.
Nicholas Kirkwood Patent Platforms £290
I’m sure nobody loves me enough to spend £290 on a pair of shoes for me. But these used to be £480, so they’re actually quite a bargain if you think about it. No? Well, they’re still fabulous, and if not these, one day a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood’s will be mine.
Panda Necklace $50 Betsey Johnson
I know for a fact I’m going to end up buying this when I’m in the US. Watching an episode of Planet Earth the other day, I actually got teary over a Panda and her baby. I am clearly getting soft in my old age. Also, I love Betsey Johnson for sticking two fingers up to trends and just making kitschy, colourful stuff every year.
…and that’ll do for now!

Nice list Gemsy! So what are the birfday plans this year? Wish I could be there to celebrate tiki-theme or not. xx

Dinner with Kat and Darika on Monday, dinner with boy on Tuesday. Not a lot going on
I MISS YOU!

Got to say, the dress certainly wouldn’t annoy me.

I agree Jenni. You should defo invest in the frock for Vegas. I can just see you guys singing “shut up and put your money where your mouth is” as you wander throughout the casinos
Ah… if I only had the resources to join you.
