Wanna Wanna Wednesday... My 35th Birthday Wish List

Happy Halloween, Lovely Friends!! The most exciting thing about the end of October/beginning of November is that my birthday is rapidly approaching! I cannot believe I am turning 35 years old this year! I still feel like a teenager most of the time... which I haven't determined yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing, to be quite honest! LOL

As is my usual custom, there are a couple of items I'd love to have for the big 3-5 this year, so today's Wanna Wanna Wednesday is very special as it contains my Top 5 Birthday Wish List!!!

              

Joe Brown's Fur Collar Coat  Years and years ago, I had a very similar coat that I scored from Tar-jay, and it's regrettably waay too big for me now. So the fact that I stumbled across this coat seems like the most delicious kismet. It's meant to be, I tells ya!! LOL

Tickets for "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" on November 13th  I've been wanting to see this movie for most of the year, and when it was announced that it was releasing a few short days after my birthday I knew that part of my birthday celebration will have to include me droolin... I mean watching Shah Rukh Khan in this film.

As an added bonus, I recently discovered that the Madame Tussaud's in Times Square has a Bollywood section (including an SRK wax statue), so perhaps I will make a night of it by going to see the film and then head over to Madame Tussaud's to see the statues up close! Add dinner at a great Indian restaurant to the agenda, and my night would be MADE!! LOL

ASOS CURVE Top With Wide Straps And Peplum I don't own a lot of white tops. There's a very specific reason for this... I'm a klutz. I'm older now, and with age comes a certain degree of grace (I'd like to think and don't you dare ruin this delusion for me!), so I think it's time I invest in a nice white top. You know, like a grown up who doesn't need a bib to wear white.

I.K. Jewelry Indian Necklace Set I've been a fan of I.K Jewelry's Ebay Shop since the summer, and when I could, I've purchased a couple of pairs of earrings from them. When I saw this necklace and jewelry set I knew that I needed to add it to my collection. I am very happy to share that this item is one from my list that is presently on its way to be from India!

Lots and Lots More Hindi Films It's not secret that I'm ga ga for Hindi cinema. So much so that my Hindi Cinema collection has grown from one film to around forty something (no jive!)... and I'm all about adding to the collection! I have a killer wish list on Amazon.com and every few weeks snag an item from the list to add! Above are just a few I really really want to get from the wish list!

DearCurves Multicolored Knee Length Skirt It's also not a secret that I'm wild about all things wax print, and I've been searching and searching for months for a lovely wax print skirt. The skirt is not in my present size, but if I keep the Get Healthy momentum going, I predict I could rock this by the spring!!

Miss Moon's Musing About: My 34th Birthday "Wanna Wanna" Wish List!!

In less than a month, I will be turning 34 (Scorpio Representin'). A few bad experiences in my past (Long story short: Got dumped!) have made my birthday something I don't especially relish. As I'm getting older, I've changed my attitude that the day can be one of celebration, not disappointment and hurt. And I know that the celebration begins with me: I plan on reflecting on the lessons and blessings that have entered my life in the past year and think about my goals for the year to come.

But I'm not going to front, y'all... I can't wait to get some pressies, too! LOL

There has been a wish list formulating in my head for the past few months. Items I'd love for my birthday, some I plan on getting for myself. Now that I'm on the  nicotine patch (for a few days now, so far so good!!), I can definitely use the money I'm saving on a few splurges!!! I thought that it would be fun to share some of the must-haves on my list with you all, as I did last year...

Curlformers Long and Extra Wide Styling Kit I've been dying to get my hands on some of these ever since seeing Trenellm's amazing video on them. If anyone has them.. let me know, do I need one kit or two? Hmmmm...

Burberry Body Fragrance I received a free sample in the mail a few months ago, and was promptly hooked on the scent. I've been weening myself off the sample as not to use it up! LOL

JIBRI Plus Size High Waist Flare Skirt (Navy) Most definitely the oldest item on my list. I've been stalking this skirt, ever since eyeing Chastity of The Curvy Girl's Guide to Style rocking it in April.

INC International Concepts Three Quarter Sleeve Colorblocked Sweater One guess my inspiration for wanting this sweater! LOL

Anita Grant Rhassoul Deep Condish Block Let me be clear: I would want one of these bad boys for my birthday, your birthday, Martin Luther King's birthday, Jesus' birthday! My hair is hooked, I admit it!

Rachel Stewart Jewelry Fly Girl Earrings After purchasing her Natural Necklace last year, I've been a definite fan, and plan on ordering many, many items from the site. While I love all the colors, I think the black earrings are my favorite.

ASOS Curve Shirt With Super Long Pussybow Love love love the color, love the bow... would rock this whole look!!!

Simply Be Lace Trim Tie Neck Top Truthfully, I want to add Simply Be's entire new Ethnic 70s Collection to my birthday list, but I am being modest and selecting only this one item!!! lol

Do you make birthday wish lists? What tops your list? Any items from my list on yours? Let's talk! :)

Miss Moon's Musing About: My 33rd Birthday Gift List

My Mum has a little ritual that I really admire. On her birthday, she buys herself a very special birthday present. I am sure many people do this, but astonishingly, I have never ever purchased a gift for myself. And this year, in 16 days to be exact, I will be turning 33... which I have learned is a very significant year.

In numerology, 33 is a Master Number, representing the Master Healer. Of the 99 Beautiful Names of Allah, Number 33 is al-Azim, the Supreme Glory, the Most Grand. Jesus Christ is believed to have been either 30 or 33 years old when He died. Many Christians consider the "perfect age" to be 33. Saint Joseph was 33 years old when he married with the Virgin Mary, according to visions of Mary Agreda.

So I have decided to get myself three very special birthday presents this year, to incorporate this self-loving birthday ritual into my life.... Three is a magic number, of course! And of course, I thought to share my would-be goodies with you!!



My first gift is the Maasai Beaded Bangle from Rachel Stewart Jewelry. I think Rachel rocks and I've been stalking her jewelry (not to mention her DOPE AS HELL blog) for a while now. I love the idea of rocking a couple of these bangles with an all black ensemble for a splash of color. Imagine the bracelets and a bright red lip? Fierce!!!!



My second selection is the Lykke Likes Cocoa Agate Hair Combs from Peace Images. I've been wanting to experiment with hair combs for awhile, and I cannot think of a better way to get started!!!

Last, but not least, I am head over heels in love with the Togo Teal Scarf v2 from Casa di Culture. Lime green jersey knit on one side, Wax Batik print on the other.... fierce and fabulous for winter? You betcha!!!!

I plan on not only buying these gifts for myself.. but wrapping the presents, so that I will have them to open on my actual birthday. I am going to buy very nice wrapping paper and a card for myself that expresses my blessings for my 33rd year. It all begins with me, and I am really happy about actively loving myself!!!
