Photography Wish List

1. A lens hood for ever lens I have! I don't need them often, but when I do, it'd be nice to have!
2. White balance lens cap. This would save hours of editing!!
3. A pretty cover for my camera strap. I'd love to not have the "Canon 60D" in big red letters on my camera strap (in other words: "I'm a good camera, steal me!") This one from Etsy is gorgeous.
4. A remote for my camera. IFB recommends this one.
5. 50mm f/1.8 camera lens. I used to have one, but it brook a couple weeks ago. Time to replace it!
6. Another Jo Totes bag! I already have the Rose in teal, but I really want the Missy in pink! They don't make it anymore, but I'm still hoping to find it on Ebay or something, sometime!
7. The 40mm f/2.8 "pancake" lens. This is very similar to the 50mm, lens, but a bit wider with a lower f-stop. I kinda love it, though, after seeing the review on Our City Lights!
8. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens from Canon. I didn't get it with my camera since I bought the body + 50mm lens separately, and it's certainly not the best lens out there, but I really love the wide angle look of it for certain pictures, and a lens that wide is hard to find for a reasonable price.

One of my Nineteen Before Twenty goals is to practice more photography, and I really want to try experimenting with more gadgets instead of just sticking to the same old lens day in and day out. These are just a few of the things I would love to have in my camera bag by the end of the year!

Autumn Wish List // Wish List Wednesday

In the summer layers disappear as the heat rises. I wear less makeup and my style generally takes on a bit more of a bohemian-esque feel (hey, I did say a bit!), but in the autumn as the weather starts to cool off, I eagerly jump whole-heartedly back into my posh, preppy style. Here are some of the pieces I am longing for this autumn:

1. A basic black cardigan
2. A basic, high-waisted black skirt.
3. A blue polka-dot skirt
4. A basic tan trench coat
5. A bright plumy lipstick (pictured here: MAC in Ruby Woo).
6. A hot pink lipstick.
7. A bright red lipstick (pictured here: Kat Von D in Underage Love).
8. Black suspenders.
9. Black lace tights.
10. A dark teal cardigan
11. Black Mary Jane pumps.
12. Black ballet flats (with studs, perhaps?)
13. A navy polka-dot blouse (extra points for a Peter Pan collar!)

Lonely Soles // Wish List Wednesday

Last night I discovered this Tumblr blog. It's called "Lonely Soles," and it is the coolest, most horrible blog I've ever seen. The two gals who run the blog - Alex and Chelsea - create the most amazing fictional shoes ever. And therein lies the problem - they're fictional. Which means I cannot go strutting around in Doctor Who, Avengers or Lord of the Rings litas. This causes me great sorrow. 

So go check out the blog and sorrow with me! You won't be sorry that you did (actually, I'm lying - you totally will be sorry when you find your dream pair of shoes and know you can never have it. ;D)/

Wish List Wednesday

1. Into the Tropics Hi-Lo Dress
2. Made for Me Tweed Dress
3. Black Wrap Watch
4. Good Enough to Strut Dress
5. Union Jack High Heel Platform Shoe Boot
6. Stud Leather Bracelet

Guest Post from Maria of Avenue M // Wish List Wednesday

Hello dear readers of Beautifully Pure,

My name is Maria and I have a blog called Avenue M. Most of the time I like to write about frivolous days, my love for vintage and pretty things, wishlists and inspirations. When Katie asked me if I would like to guest post for her, I jumped at the chance! Her blog is gorgeous ♥

I haven't conjured up a wishlist of realistic and ridiculous wants in a while, so I though it would be the perfect time. Here are a few things that I would love to add to my wardrobe:

This gorgeous satchel from Oasap is the perfect pastel outfit companion. 

Caitlin Shearer is one of the coolest Aussie artists you'll ever hear about! Her dresses and prints are so unique. I love this little lookbook she sketched for Audrey Grace Boutique. Her wonderful way with watercolours depicts Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly's classic style perfectly. 

Isn't this bikini on Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe) gorgeous? They are so perfect for summer and very flattering. As soon as summer comes around again for me (I live in Australia!) I will be on the hunt for something as cute as this ♥  

I found this DIY on Pinterest the other day and fell in love instantly! Adding roses to the sides of sunglasses is the perfect way to add a little bit of pretty to them. You can view the full DIY here.

I hope you enjoyed this little wishlist, and please, come visit me over at my blog; Avenue M

Wish List Wednesday // Winter Coats

1. Junior Copy Writer Coat  2. The Icing on the Coat in Red Velvet  3. Generally Gorgeous Coat
4. You're Golden Coat  5. Salt and Pepper Panache Coat  6. Between Blue and Me Coat

Confession: I have three winter coats. A bit puffy white one that I don't like much, a fuchsia pea coat with a belt in the middle, and a big blue pea coat that's too big for me. I love my pea coats, but the blue one is too big and the fuchsia one is so bright, and sometimes I want a more neutral colored coat. And the fact that I'll hopefully be visiting friends in Wyoming (aka the "winter wasteland") in March, and a warm winter coat will be necessary for survival makes a perfect excuse to get one!

These are some of my favorite coats from ModCloth. I just adore the first three - especially the third one. I think that one just might be my favorite. Which one is your favorite?

Alice in Wonderland Inspired Gloves

A couple days ago I stumbled onto Brielle's Costume Wardobe Etsy store. I'd been to her blog years ago, but I had never been to her Etsy shop. Mostly she makes and sells custom made costumes based after movies, but she has a few little things in her Etsy store - like these Alice in Wonderland Inspired gloves, which I really like.



Those would be so nice to spice up a dull outfit, don't you think? And they also come in gray, and blue.

My only questions now are: can I afford a pair? And what color should I get if I do buy them?
