The Monthly Wishlist | March 2017

1. Enamel pins $12.00 / £9
My love of enamel pins sprouted quite a few months ago from the Instagram of @sighh.co, and I've got a feeling it won't be going anywhere fast. I've recently started following @kategabrielle on Instagram too, and oh my, I am telling you now, she's got a tonne of hilarious and relatable pins to die for. They range from feminism to Jurassic Park to presidential candidates and I guarantee you won't be disappointed if you give her link a click. There's loads of patches and prints on there too - you'll love it, I promise.

2. Pigma Micron Fineliners £8.50
As the brand new keeper of a brand new bullet journal, I really need to get myself some of these bad boys. I've got the Leuchtturm 1917 notebook with dotted pages, and fineliners are essential to fitting all the information you need in the space you've got. Of course there's the Muji fineliner pens and Paperchase do a pretty good set of coloured ones too, but Microns have always had my heart. I'm gonna take this opportunity to recommend the Pilot V-Ball Rollerball (0.5mm), because it's proper good and I thought you should know.

3. ASOS Short Sleeve Oversized Stripe Top £18.00
Hi, my name's Holly, and I'm addicted to stripes, ASOS, and baggy tops. What you're looking at is essentially my dream t-shirt. I plan on purchasing at least three.

4. Divide by Ed Sheeran (Deluxe Edition) £11.99
Because I don't live under a rock, I know our mate Ed has an album coming out tomorrow. I've always had deluxe versions of his albums, and don't plan on stopping now. As well as being the nation's resident ginger and just downright incredible, his music speaks to everyone and everyone can speak through his music.

5. Starbucks' 3 Region Blend Whole Bean Coffee £4.50
This tastes bloody magnificent! I work in Starbucks and we've been using this blend for coffee tastings as often as possible because it's sooooo delicious. The '3 regions' are South America, Africa, and Asia/Pacific; it's a medium roast, so it's not too strong, and tastes quite citrusy. It's smooth, and rich, and bold, and tastes really good with lemon drizzle cake. And the packaging is crazy pretty. So win-win.

6. Kat Von D Tattoo Liner liquid eyeliner and Immortal Lash 24 Hour mascara £18.00 / £16.00
Both of these products are re-purchases, and I can honestly say, hand-on-heart, that I have found my perfect duo. The Tattoo Liner is the reason I can finally do a cat eye, thanks to the felt-tip pen nib, staying power, and blacker-than-black colour - a combo I've found mutually exclusive in many other eyeliners. Alongside this, the Immortal Lash mascara is absolutely ah-may-zing. I've always preferred my eyelashes to look splayed and fluttery, and the Kat Von D one does this as well as thicken my lashes just the right amount. No matter how many layers I put on, I find it just doesn't go clumpy. Also, true to form, it lasts ages (but I can still get it off with a makeup wipe).

I can't wait for payday this month, it's been a looooooong time coming. I can't wait to chill out in my new t-shirt, wearing new makeup and badges, while doodling away in my bullet journal, sipping 3 Region Blend coffee and listening to Ed Sheeran.
