Megalomanic Monday Etsy Edition

I decided to do a themed MM around Etsy shops because its a good website. I love that the stuff is handmade or vintage because I make jewellery myself so its great to see other handmade stuff.. Id get a shop myself but it can be quite expensive. There's some great stuff on there ranging from the very cheap to the expensive and classy. Being quite tight I go for the cheap stuff and on Etsy that still can be quirky ands awesome.So here's my best of Etsy.
1.Raw Earth do a pretty good range of above knuckel rings. I had to work hard to not use the cross knuckle ring because im sure you are getting fed up of seeing crosses. This is classy and makes me think  of hippies for some reason which is great.
2.FECKIN SWEEEEEET! They're shotgun shells! Its every zombie enthusiasts dream. And I am a zombie enthusiast. I watch the films I play the games. But enough about me being crazy. These would look awesome with a badass outfit, a leather jacket, maybe some docs. Perfecto.
3. I love foxes. Obviously,I live in the city. See them all the time, there's one on my street which we have named Clive and hes pretty ballsy. These have got a sort of surreal look about them to me which is what drew me to them. They remind me of the cartoons I used to watch as a kid. You gotta love a bit of nostalgia.Da silva
4.This ankh ring from Aquarian Thoughts is just perfect. Its so dainty and girly and would look great with a bunch of other rings for an uber silver look. Its so on trend with it being a knuckle ring, I love it. I love egyptian stuff.
5.The little ghostie earrings from designs by mishii  are adorable. Perfect for halloween or just for saying I believe. I love them.They might be kinda cool for a touch outfit to add a little cutesie edge.
6. These are beyond pretty. The glitter makes it really girly while the holograph makes it on trend and eye catching as hell. Id wear these with everything.Neat
7.This Pyrite ring from SPECIMEN is amazing. Its so jazzy. I love it. It looks pretty classy too and could be grungy or for a night outfit. Id wear this alone because its such a stand out piece.
8.Yes Fabulous Wire Yes. This is so pretty. I'm obsessed with knuckle rings so I wish this was a knuckle ring. But as a ring it is pretty funky and so random.
9.This Meredith Grace necklace is awesome. I love ships and this one does not dissapoint. I love the old timey sepia (I guess you could call it instagram filter effect) of it and the colour and think they contrast each other nicely. Id wear this with anything black or white so it stood out.
10.These Sleepy Mountain earrings are really sweet. I love retro stuff like tapes but could hardly bear having a proper tape dangling from my ears. these are an adorable alternative. the fact that they are handrawn just makes them that bit more kitsch

Megalomanic Mondays

Im thinking of doing a new thing for 2013 called megalomanic mondays. Not that im saying bloggers are megalomanic,I am a tad though. So megalomanic mondays will be 5 things i've been looking at over the past week. Eventually I might do other weekly features.Who knows,heres ya first one.
No particular order of how much I want them
1.Ive been wanting a dark red lipstick for ages and have purchased multiple types of lipstick looking for the shade vampy enough.this one seemed quite dark when I tested it in boots,but for all I know Ill buy it and it too will not  be dark enough.If you have a good dark red lipstick,let me know in the comments section
2.Since my early teenage years I have leant towards gothicness(If that even a word) and as much as I tried to fight it,my gothic tendencies still linger. This means that if I see something cross shapes, skull shaped, bone shaped, black, lace, leather etc im going to want it.These bone bracelelets from kukee are on sale at the moment for £3 and im really tempted to get one.Silver or gold?
3.Pretty basic.But since I heard about above knuckle rings ive been longing for one,or a tonne. ill either get 2 or 4,im undecided. Ive not seen them in the shops but theyre such a good idea and an easy way to make hands look more interesting.
4.I love the way skater skirts look.they seem to flatter all figures and are easy to style. Ive been looking for one for ages.This one is £15 from river island.Id prefer it in black though.Any sort of skater skirt will do me though.

5.Litas litas litas.I posted a picture of some like these many moons ago.these are the actual jeffrey campbell ones which I saw in solestruck recently.I cant believe they're down to 59 from 130!I want them but thats a lot more than im likely to spend on shoes.If they were the all over spike litas I would almost definitely cast off my better judgement, or perhaps sell it to buy these shoes. Ive seen a lot of bloggers raving about them and theyre so fantastic.And its not like me to resist something with spikes.

Im hoping to do a couple of hauls soon as ive been shopping and have a january sales pillaging planned with some friends. I'm also mid edit on the things I bought in december for christmas presents and whatnot so you should get two quite soon. I have come into possession of a tripod and ill be back in my flat soon so it will be easier to get things sorted. Now that I have some more decent clothes to wear you should get some more OOTD posts too.
