Etsy Lust List: Halloween Edition!

Hey, guys, Halloween is just about 2 weeks away! Have you picked out your costumes? Have you decorated your home? Have you purchased candy for trick-or-treaters only to find yourself eating all of it? If not, you better start!
Okay, I haven’t done any of that either. In fact, I’m not sure I’ll be dressing up/celebrating Halloween this year.
But I still love everything about it. Why not? It’s fun!

Anyway, I decided to share some Halloween-centric items from my Etsy favorites this month. The thing is, things like this are expected this time of year, but it’s perfect normal and awesome to want to get creepy at any time during the year. Live everyday like it’s Halloween.
Or some days. Life’s too short.

I have been lusting over sweater clips/sweater guards for a while now. They are just so awesome and add an unexpected charm to your outfit.
This Skeleton Key Sweater Clip is super chic with just the perfect amount of creep. I have love skeleton hand jewelry and hair pieces, and I love the pizazz these have been given. You can find them on the super-awesome Etsy store Rabbit Heart Designs.

Speaking of Rabbit Heart Designs, I follow Sara’s Instagram and I fell in love with the coffin ring she wears that you can see here.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t make those rings (it was a purchase from a long while ago) so I had to set out and see if I can find some myself. That’s when I found these from Alice, Dear. They make coffins super cute, no?

Peter Pan Collar necklaces are all over the place right now, and with great purpose. They are super cute! I was looking at a variety when this one caught my eye. I love the multi-colored skulls. It’s like creepy candy. Once again, this is something you could wear year round.
This one is available on Sultry Affair, along with other Peter Pan necklaces and lots of cool jewelry.

I have never played with a Ouija board in my life for the sheer fact that they are so frightening. Despite that, they are pretty cool-looking.
This iPhone case is quite awesome and can be found on Undead Pinups.

I couldn’t have a Halloween-centric post without a shout out to my favorite mystical (real?) creatures, vampires!
I love these decorative signs from Slippin’ Southern. You can guarantee those fangs would be up 24/7/365.

That’s all for now!

Oh, Etsy…how I love thee. If only I had the money to buy all the adorable things I find on this fantastic site.
I feel bad that there are still people who don’t know the wonders of Etsy.

I have always loved rock-and-roll tank tops, with arm holes so wide you could show off a fun floral bra or shiny bandeau. You can make your own, which is mighty crafty and cool, or you could check out So You Think You Can Rock?, an awesome shop I stumbled upon while looking through treasuries. It’s impossible to find something you wouldn’t like. They have all kinds of shapes and lengths, but this
classic Radiohead shirt caught my eye. Hard to choose just one shirt, though.

I am not the watch-wearing type, and I don’t really need to check the time with my trust iPhone on me at all times, but this Double Faced Watch from Sodalex is utterly charming. I’d be staring at the time all day. Sodalex has a lot of beautiful pieces, but this one really stood out to me. I just might have to take this item for the lust list and put it in my jewelry collection.

I love reading so much, I’d gladly wear my pride on my chest. And that’s easy to do with this adorable Leather Book Stack Necklace from Baggy Fitted. Once again, this shop is stacked with tons of adorable handmade goodies. I wish I could go to the Greenwich Market London on Saturdays and shop the stuff in person. I’ll have to settle for lusting for now…

My love for Misfits is strong. I don’t know if you can consider it a love…it’s more an obsession, an addiction. I’m glad to say I’ve turned a few of my friends onto the show too, so we can butcher Cockney accents and make references all the live long day (much to everyone else’s annoyance). But I’m serious…WHY AREN’T YOU WATCHING THIS SHOW???? During a strong fit of obsession, I decided to search Etsy for cool handmade things by fans of the show. These dolls blew my mind. They are adorable and accurate. Dangercat Dolls has a small variety of dolls based on various other strong points of pop culture. These just happen to be my favorite.

That’s all ‘til next month!!

Just some things I’ve been falling for on Etsy…

I love these Geo Rings from A Merry Mishap. They are sold separately, but how could you choose just one color? There are so many pretty pastels. Plus, they look super cute in a cluster like in this picture. I’ve always liked the multi-ring look.

How adorable are these Woodland Creatures necklaces from Spotlight Jewlery? I wouldn’t know which animal to pick.

I’d never thought to look for beauty items on Etsy, but one of my favorite nail art blogs, Little Nails, mentioned her purchase of a few nail polishes from Lush Lacquer. They are super glittery. I especially love this color, Chubby Checker.

It’s super hard to pick just one lady tie from Flapper Girl. There are so many adorable designs and colors to choose from! I settled on showcasing the Galaxy print, but there are quite a few different ones in my Favorites.

I had to share these lovely succulents from San Pedro Cactus. I first saw them on Etsy’s Pinterest, and on the shop they are all described as sets for wedding or bridal shower favors. I absolutely love that idea. That’s something I don’t have to worry about for a while, but what a great idea. I know I’m in love with my little succulent garden (I’ve named her Susan, by the way), and I’d love to share that joy!

More things to love over on Etsy. I only pick a few things for the blog, but I honestly can get lost on that site for hours.

I don’t know if I’d wear this chain garter from The River Is Everywhere, but it is certainly a beautiful, interesting and unexpected accessory.
I’d like to give it a try.

Remember playing with those beads you could melt with an iron? Look at how nifty they can be utilized now!
I love this 8-Bit Bow from Geeky Gamer. Another awesome accessory.

It is hard for me to see a doughnut and not want to consume it with all the fire in my heart. It’d be nearly impossible not to want to eat these cute earrings from Baby Pie Tattoo, but that wouldn’t turn out very well. Regardless, they are cute. But I might gain weight because every time I’d look in the mirror, I’d be running off to Dunkin’ Donuts.

Don’t you sometimes wish you were a teenager/young adult in the 1940s/50s. I sure do! The style was so beautiful, so simple and sweet, modest yet figure-flattering. This crocheted snood from Arthelia’s Attic is perfection. What a perfect way to say goodbye to a bad hair day!

The more I look at Etsy, the bigger my list of favorites grows. It’s outstanding that I’ve been able to keep myself restrained. There are so many things I would love to have, but I usually end up admiring from a far and hoping to come up with some extra cash.
Here are the things I’m loving lately.

bzr Ombre tights from BZRshop. These are unfortunately sold out already.

Gunmetal Harness Bracelet from Last Caress

Triangle Earrings from Sewing & Mischief Gems (I’m trying to wear earrings again. THESE ARE INSANE. Love.)

Beaded Silver Arrow Necklace from Roots & Feathers (I’m obsessed with bows and arrows thanks to the Hunger Games).

Since my last Etsy Lust List post, Etsy has become one of my regularly viewed websites. My Favorites list keeps growing and growing.
I haven’t made a purchase since before the holidays, but I’m hoping to land one (or more) of the following items in the near future.
It’s hard to do that, though, when you really need to watch your money (and the items move SO FAST)!

Fabric Bow Necklace from daileedose

Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Sign Sweater Clip from Roseview Cottage (They have amazing sweater clips!)

Mister Owl Pocket Watch from Barberry and Lace

Vampire Teeth Double Finger Ring from Haus of Bizarre

Anatomical Heart Brass Necklace from House that Crow Built

Etsy Lust List

This year, I’ve been doing my Christmas shopping online. I admit that it can kind of break the holiday spirit a little. There’s something about all the decorations and Christmas music blasting in the mall and various stores. I definitely don’t miss the large crowds and messy inventory, though. Plus, I can get more creative with my online shopping. And a lot of it has been getting done on Etsy.

I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’m fairly new to Etsy. I’ve checked out a few shops on the site here and there, but I never made a purchase until a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, I’ve become rather addicted. There is so much to love about the site.
Supporting small and super creative businesses, often affordable prices, and amazing customer service.
I can’t wait to receive all the little trinkets I’ve purchased for my friends.
’Til then, it can’t hurt to look for some things for myself…right?

Autumn Kiss Necklace, by Tina Tarnoff

Elastic Harness from Norwegian Wood

The Carousel Necklace, by Barberry and Lace

Animal Hood, by Olivia Royale

Le Red Fox Stud Earrings, by Le Animale

Stemless Wine Glasses from Modern Madness (all things mustache!)

Shoe Lust : ModCloth

For many, shoes are a guilty pleasure. There are girls who will fess up to owning more pairs than they need, spending obscene amounts on pairs that they’ll never wear again, and needing extra closet space just for their shoes. I have never been this way. With that being said, I do adore shoes. It’s just that I’ve always stuck with basic colors and styles (simple flats, Chucks, and a few different neutral boots) that go with any and everything. Okay, I DO have a few guilty pleasure pairs (not very practical, I know). And I certainly long for some shoes that I’ll never have, that I can’t afford with my kind of budget. ModCloth’s shoes are somewhere in between.  They aren’t Louboutins or Jimmy Choos by any means (we’re talking hundreds+ dollas for them suckas), but they aren’t Payless or Target, the stores I frequent the most for shoes under 30 bucks (what can I say? I’m a bargain hunter, I still live at home, and I’m extremely far from rich). It’s hard for me to spend more than 50 bucks on a pair of shoes, because I won’t even spend that much on a pair of jeans that I’d wear everyday (again, I’m cheap!).
But they’re more attainable. And cute. And seemingly comfortable and…well…that’s what window shopping is all about.

Sensing a pattern here? Easy breezy cutesy shoes, with comfortable heels, and an affinity for t-straps. If I got any of these shoes, I’d probably get the last pair because I know I would wear them. But I love heels. I feel so feminine in them, and I adore them on everyone else. Unfortunately,  I’ve always felt too tall, awkward, and uncomfortable over time. Above, the heels are mostly thick, seemingly everyday. My favorite pair? Numero uno. They would go with any and everything. Maybe one day I’ll feel confident enough to treat myself…

Nerdy Pretty Things

Let’s face it…we all have a little nerd in us. I’ve enjoyed quite a few video games and comic books in my time, not to mention the fact that I can’t be seen without my iPhone in hand. Enter Meninos, a site with plenty of products that will allow you to wave your Geek Flag proudly. Mucho thanks to Brad for showing me the site!!

Pac-Man Ghost Lamps

Cassette Tape Doormats (sold separately)

8-bit Hanger

iPhone app coasters

The cassette doormats and iPhone coasters are my favorites. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), a lot of the things on the site are sold out. There’s plenty more to look at and geek over, though, so check it out!
