Charmaine Olivia

Today I came across some fantastic artwork online and after some tracing I came across Charmaine Olivia's charming blog. I mean, I don't even know where to start. This girl is ridiculously talented. And beautiful too. I absolutely adore all the colors she uses and the fact that she paints on wood. So pretty much she's my new girl crush.

Birthday

Long time, no post! Wow have I been busy. Nothing too amazing has caught my eye so I decided to make a birthday wishlist for my enjoyment and for the convenience for my family and friends :)

-50/50 Tees from American Apparel
(in plum, black)



-Pretty headbands
Such as this one from urban outfitters

-Socks!
Like these creme cable knit socks from American Apparel

-A watch
Something simple, maybe kinda vintage

-Lavanila "Pure Vanilla" roller perfume.
Mine is running out!

-Pretty paper/stationary... I'll never have too much!!
I love anything here


-Stamps/ink
Anything like these: leaf stamp, woodgrain stamp, http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/Allium-Rubber-Stamp/2901.010/871382.html
And for ink: mossy green, mustard yellow, dusty pink or blue

-Art supplies
Such as: fine tip markers, sketching pens, art pencils, sketch pads

Moleskine

Moleskines have a lot of haters. Apparently they have a bad rep because they are "hipster" notebooks. Honestly, I don't care if they are "hipster" or not because they are so convenient to use as a planner and somewhere to make lists. Both my best friends have them and they use them ALL the time. I can't decide whether I'd prefer a ruled one, or a squared one.

Tintedmint

Finally! I've been looking for somewhere to buy some pretty paper and packaging supplies, and I finally found the place. I love the colored washi tape and the grid envelopes. Too bad it's so expensive!

Oh, etsy

Etsy is really an amazing website. It makes buying and selling handmade so much easier and the website itself is really nice too. Here are so me of my favorite things from there:

The Wine Country Dress is absolutely gorgeous. The designer, sarahseven makes so many beautiful dresses that I wish I could afford. She is someone to definitely check out if you're looking for a quality wedding dress, she makes quite a few stunning ones.



Justmejewelry makes the sweetest necklaces by putting dried flowers in little corked bottles. My favorite is the moss one, but I also love the one with yellow flowers.



Cocoboudoir's pink flats are to die for. They would be perfect with a plain black dress.

Unusual fonts

I just found this awesome website with a handful of cool fonts. Each of them are made from piling certain objects into the shape of letters. My personal favorite is the clover one or the leaf one. Or the daffodils. I don't know, they're all very cool.

Beautiful feather pin

I just adore this hair pin. I tried it on today and it is to die for, but unfortunately, I am not loaded with cash.

Oh well, I won't let that get me down, so I'm looking for a cheaper version... updates soon?

UPDATE: My parents bought me this for Christmas! I've been swooning over it ever since I first unwrapped it. I even cried haha.
