{several hauls} because i spend too much money on too much pointless things.






i'm a huge, huge, huge stationary hoarder. i mainly collect journals and stickers but recently i began a postcard collection {which really only piled up because of my oh so generous penpals}.
in this haul i bought harley quinn/suicide squad comics, 3 vintage dublin postcards {overpriced but once you've seen ireland's limited range on patriotic postcards, these really are a pearl}, a paperchase journal {with THE most darlin' pages!!!! to be honest my most recent journal buys are focused on how decorated the pages inside are since i use them for letter writing}, a vintage box of matches {because matches. i spent a tenner on them and are are no regrets}, three sheets of stickers, a border puncher {to decorate sheet edges}, a pack of decorative floral sheets {to decorate letters} and a small box of white ink {for calligraphy contrast purposes; by the way they don't sell winsor and newton inks anymore in easons so you'll have to get them in arts&hobby}.



two phalaenopsis orchids which i sort of regret buying because i saw prettier orchids the following few weeks but it's whatever since one of them were a gift for my grandmother while i kept the other one for myself. orchids are really easy to take care of plants so i highly recommend them is anyones ever interested in raising a plant of their own.





a black lace dress from either new look or h&m {i completely forgot}. it goes up to my knees and it's in a pencil skirt format. what really stood out with this dress is the way the black lace lingers down past the waist line and spilts which empathizes curves. i don't know why but i've been loving pencil skirts lately {THEY'RE SO COMFORTABLE} though in my case it really doesn't suit me because i'm wayyyyy too skinny. i'm so envious of more voluptuous and curvy women because they can pull off a larger majority of dresses than skinny girls {trust me}. maxi dresses just look stupid on a girl with little to no curves and you just can't 100% pull off the whole sexy image being as skinny as i am {cries}. anyway, you'll have to wear a strapless bra with it or the straps would show {and that's a big no-no}.
- then i bought chocopie, almond pepero, glitter tattoos {yes. more}, facemasks, a red bow, 3 pack of small hairbows, a red rose hairband, red lipliner {number7}, a red leotard from forever21, a red/white/black diamond patterned jumper from noname, small asian lucky bag envelopes {for penpals} and brown hair dye.




superman, harley quinn, and the suicide squad comics,  rimmel ft. katemoss 01 matte lipstick {8/10 would recommend, this is my second one}, arts&crafts sticky gems, brazened honey face mask from lush {my favourite product for the past few months, i might do a proper review of this product soon}, fine-liners/white gel pen, irish writers/cliff of moher postcards {i love yeats/puffins way too much to not buy these}.




more harley quinn comics, vintage ono no komachi based envelopes {you don't understand how much i fangirled when i found these...}, squirrel note-cards, dream-catcher keyring/a giant 3D poster of a wolf {birthday presents for a penpal}.




an astrology image book {for drawing purposes}, more ono no komachi based envelopes/postcards {squeal}, harley quinn comics, bird notecards, a a-line off-brown skirt from noname and fifteen euro worth of decorative stamps.



bonus photo because hamsters are fkin' love

just random hamster stuffz. the saucer thing is basically a wheel but much safer because there's no holes aka. the hamster's tail won't get caught. it says it's soundproof but having a hamster that stays in my bedroom i can assure you it's really not but still pretty rad none-the-less. 



OKAY THIS POST IS TAKING TOO LONG.
PRITT STICK, COMICS, NUROFEN {BECAUSE IT'S MY ONE TRUE GRACE}, PAPER CUTTER, 3 METRES OF LACE AND A BOW.

DON'T JUDGE ME I WENT TO A KPOP MEET AND THE INNER FOB INFESTED ME.



paperchase floral patterned tape, two postcards, boots essentials strawberry lipbalm, bourjois 123 perfect cc eye-cream, rimmel match perfection foundation, maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel liner in intense black {good dupe for bobby brown eyeliner imo}. this was basically my annual restock of make-up.




can we just please take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these bram stoker inspired stamps? ALL HAIL DRACULA.
cough.
sticky notes {which i buy too many cause i send them to penpals} and notecards~

-SELF EXPLANATORY HYPERVENTILATE MY FKIN OVARIES-



this lion writing set is so darlin' you have no idea. i have a lot of writing sets but i never use them since i prefer to handmake all my envelopes and letters {it's a petpeeve when i see people having similarities in letters/envelopes}. more stickers, sticker pads and blonde hair dye~


and i'll just end this post with my favourite estee lauder lipstick; l'absolu rouge 132. it's not matte {which is my eternal preference with lipsticks} but it's rather suave and glides on perfectly.

ALRIGHT.
CYA.
NERDS.
