Archive for category: Wishlists

I haven’t made a wishlist post in quite a while. I guess I’ve just been buying all the things and not wanting for anything. But anyway here are some things I am lusting after that I haven’t made the plunge to buy just yet.

1. The Descendents four pack mug set. Honestly there’s probably nothing very punk rock about drinking tea while eating scones which is something I’ve been doing a lot lately and I feel like these mugs would cut a bit of the whimsy out of my cups of tea. Or coffee, although I’m sticking pretty true to cold brew iced coffee in a big glass with lots of ice cubes these days. Along with these mugs, you can buy some cool Descendents shirts and hoodies etc. And if you don’t know who Descendents are shame on you! Get over to YouTube right now.

2. It’s going to be full blown summer in less than a month and it’s already heating up here in Melbourne, is it really the time to buy another leather jacket? Probably not but man this one is speaking to me. Lamb leather, sizing up to XXL and incredibly reasonable pricing. I’m really trying to resist but I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.

3. Is it an overshare to tell you guys that I somehow misplaced my last garter belt and I need a new one? Well, if it is I’m sorry. But I really can’t find mine and I do own a fair few pairs of thigh highs that need to be held up somehow. This Hush Hush Sweet Garter from Hips and Curves looks pretty perfect.

4. Saddle shoes! They’re adorable, right? I remember reading about someone wearing them in that book Girl by Blake Nelson when I was a teenager and I’ve wanted a pair ever since. I’m currently eyeing off this pair from Funtasma as well as a pair by Melissa and some on GoJane.com

5. I’m obsessed with red skinny jeans. I just keep seeing people wearing them both online and in real life and looking amazing and I need to get in on it. These Jester Red Skinny Jeans from Torrid fit the bill pretty well expect for dealing with Torrid’s shipping to Australia prices – the shipping is only slightly less than the cost of the jeans! I’m going to hunt around for a pair closer to home but if not I might just have to suck it up and pay the postage.

Some other things on my wishlist: PopTarts (apple & cinnamon to be exact), new curtains for my bedroom and time to get my eyes tested/get some glasses.

Make sure you go have a look at the FAT AUS BLOG SHOP, things are selling pretty steadily but there’s still a fair few things left. And if you get in/pay before Sunday night your package will be heading your way by Monday.

As you might have already heard ASOS Australia launched today! The Aussie version of the site looks basically identical to the original just with Australian sizing, the default currency set as Australian dollars and they are now offering local returns. Standard postage is still free and as far as I can see all the items for sale on the regular ASOS site are the same on the ASOS Australia site. My only complaint is that the option to refine your search by size isn’t available but I’m hoping that they’re planning on adding that soon (I’m guessing they will since they have it on the original site). Since I was having a look at the site anyway I thought I might as well make a little wishlist:

Faux Fur Leopard Hooded Coat With Ears (in case anyone is wondering yes I do already own a faux fur leopard coat with a big hood and pom poms, but this one has ears ok), Round Tortoiseshell Sunglasses, Merlin Leather Fringe Loafers and Tartan Suitcase (what would I do with this? I really don’t know but it is freaking adorable).

Just one thing to remember – the website is asos.com/au, not .au which was confusing me earlier today haha. And ASOS are celebrating London Fashion Week by offering 20% all full price stock with the code HAPPYLFW so we can use that code to celebrate the launch of ASOS Australia and get some bargains!

In the interest of full disclosure – I am signed up to the ASOS Affiliates program which means that if you click through to ASOS from a link on FAT AUS and buy something I get a small commission. If you’ve been reading FAT AUS for a while you probably have noticed that I buy a lot of things from ASOS and have often linked to them in wishlist posts etc which is why I think this is a program I can participate in without losing my integrity. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to buy from a shop that I wasn’t personally a fan of and hadn’t had good experiences with myself.

So my May wishlist is an ASOS wishlist because basically there’s so much stuff I want from ASOS right now that I’ve pretty much banned myself from looking at any other online shops.
