Okay, okay, I know I only just got back from Italy but a girl can dream right? I have my sights set on France – perhaps some French-inspired jewellery will do the trick instead:

A: Eiffel Tower Necklace from Lovely Lovely, £15.00 (GBP)

B: Eiffel Tower Earrings by Fincara at Etsy.com, $2.75 (USD)

C: Champagne Necklace by My Lavaliere at Etsy.com, $18.00 (USD)

D: Oui et Non Vintage Earrings by Jewelry By Tara at Etsy.com, $7.00 (USD)

I’m back from Italy and yes, Desirable.co.uk will return to it’s usual broadcast as of tomorrow (daily updates, yay!). In the meantime, here is what I’ve purchased for myself over the last two weeks (not to mention the presents I’ve bought for other people).

Ceramic Tile Featuring Capri, approx $10 (EU)

Brown & Rainbow Scarf with Silver Threads, $5 (EU)

Brown Wool & Lapin Shawl, $20 (EU)

Ceramic Donkey from Amalfi, $2.50 (EU)

There’s not much to say about the new season strapless dresses, other than ‘I want them’.  I’ve only really just figured out how to wear strapless dresses, and I seem to be quickly accumulating a whole wardrobe full of them.

A: Drape Satin Bandeau Dress from Oasis, £90.00 (GBP)

B: Dip-Dye Boobtube Dress from Miss Selfridge, £38.00 (GBP)

C: Ixia Cocktail Dress from Monsoon, £160.00 (GBP)

D: Black Mesh with Taped Design Dress by Pierce Fionda at Debenhams, £120.00 (GBP)

I don’t know about the rest of you, but my drink of choice is always wine.  Red wine, white wine, and sparkling, I’ll drink it all.  Just don’t mention rose… I had a bad experience on New Years Eve a few years back.

Anyway, I really have a thing for wine themed accessories as well, they make really good house-warming presents and Christmas stocking stuffers.  Here’s some great products I’ve come across recently:

A: Oil and Vinegar Wine Glasses from WhereDidYouBuyThat.com, £22.50 (GBP)

B: Wine Chain Cradle from Home Temptations, £20.00 (GBP)

C: Somersault Wine Rack, £9.00 (GBP) each

D: Wine Rack by Define at MyLivingSpace.co.uk, £28.00 (GBP)

I’m really horrible when it comes to saving money.  You could probably have guessed that yourself, given that I write a blog about shopping, but still – if it comes as a shock to you, I apologize.  Here’s hoping these awesome finds will help with my saving issues:
