I thought I'd do a little wishlist of items that's outside my makeup wishlist...my makeup wishlist is over 300 items long and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't even cover everything that I want. As that could fill around 10 thousand posts, I'll leave that for another day.
These are some of the bigger ticket items that I want, ranging from the £100 up to the £1000 mark. Some of these things are those life long dream things, or at least a 10 year long dream. The sort of purchases that make me feel like a real adult, because apparently being married doesn't make me feel like a grown up!

Mulberry Bag
What girl doesn't want twenty one of these?

I've wanted one of these bags for around 7-8 years.
On my current shortlist are the Bayswater Double Zip Tote, Alexa, (Medium) Lily and Roxette all in Oak, as I'm a blue/brown sort of girl, rather than black. I'm really not a fan of black and would never consider buying anything in black, especially not a bag!
I also wonder whether I should consider the Bayswater as it is a classic. Oh and the Roxette looks AH-mazing in Oxblood Croc.

I think that if I had to rank them then the Roxette would be my top, followed by the Bayswater Double Zip Tote, then Alexa and Bayswater tied. Lily is a whole other kettle of fish as it's not an everyday, chuck everything you own into it one, but it is beautiful! As are some of the other smaller cross body bags. Can I just have them all please?
My aim for this year is to save up for and buy one. Be it a teeny tiny one, even though if we look at value for money, bigger is better!
Although I sadly need to be practical and save for buying our next place, kids, bills all the boring stuff that our future holds.

Macbook/Mac

I'm not sure which type of Mac or Macbook, but this one is blog related. I've had two Acer laptops in the past 10 years and both of them have basically given up pretty soon after they've been purchased. I'm struggling along with the one I got just after I left uni (I think), it over heats, shuts down, freezes and just takes around 1000 years to do anything.
At the moment I write, edit and post all my blog posts at work. Now that's fine for the moment when I basically have next to nothing to do (yeah, not a great as it sounds!), but when I get myself a job where I actually have work to do, I'm going to need something good to carry this on.
And I do want to carry this on - I rambled on enough about that in my Why I Love Makeup post and it's one of my 2016 Goals.
I also have done about 8 pages of a book, totally pathetic right? But I'd like to try and work on it more and having a laptop to sit and write at home or to go to the coffee shop and write (cliche) would be brilliant.
And I'm ADDCITED to the Sims, so I definitely need it for that. The teenager in me still lives on.

Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote Bag

 

Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote in Navy

I already have a Small Tote Bag in navy, which I love. I love that they're versatile, they fold up and can be tossed in wherever you're going and whatever you're taking so that you have a spare bag. It looks stylish, doesn't break the bank and the nylon is hard wearing.
I do feel that sometimes when I want to take out some more stuff with me that mine can be a bit small, which means I'm thinking of expanding my collection.
They do have a Medium Handbag, which would probably be the perfect size for me, but it only has a short handle and I'm a bag on the shoulder sort of gal. This forearm carrying is all very well, but when you have so much to carry and you're as tiny as me (5ft!) it can basically break your arm.
That means I'm going to have to consider the Large Tote, which I must say looks huge on me. I could practically climb inside. But needs must.
And I feel like spending my money on that sort of bag is a better investment then say a Fiorelli bag of similar price, as least the Longchamp bags have some leather on them.

Ugg Classic Mini Boots

Barbour Coat

It absolutely breaks my heart that I just had to sell my old Barbour on eBay for a mere £33 when it cost well over £150 new. It was a size 12 and now that I'm a size 6 it absolutely swamped me.
I will get myself a new one, the only issue is that they don't have very mean coats in a size 6.
I'd love a classic quilted one and a waxed one.

This list is bound to grown, a girl can dream!

Welcome to mrsjennyws!

We're at the start of 2016, everything's new and fresh and for me that includes my marriage and my name! I'm Jenny or mrsjws. My full name is now ridiculously long since I got married and so I won't bore you.

Currently
I'm 26 and I live with my husband, we got married last year in December and moved into our new flat (that we own) a mere week before the wedding! Let me just say, I would not recommend moving house AND getting married at the same time.

Background
I'm from Kent originally, after school I went to uni in Exeter and studied Biology. After that I moved back east and lived with some amazing school friends and now I'm stuck with my husband (only joking). I work in admin, also known as the place where you get stuck if you don't know what to do with yourself!

Passions/Hobbies
My passions include makeup, Harry Potter, McFly/Busted/McBusted (in any form). I also love Taylor Swift and TV, but who doesn't? I also love Weddings, love them. Oh and musical theatre, Les Mis in particular.

My makeup obsession is a relatively new one, it started in May 2015 when mrws suggested that I do my makeup myself for our wedding. Now we're talking to a girl who has zero experience in the makeup department. We're talking a few months of wearing makeup for the first time at uni and reverting to wearing eyeliner and mascara. But fast foward 8 months and I love it, I feel like my wedding makeup ended up looking really good and my collection and knowledge is growing.

Harry Potter is what got me reading. I remember sitting in the library in my primary school and seeing someone reading Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. I thought it was for boys, a book that's named after a boy with a blue car on the front - what was in there for a 9 year old girl? I'm not sure how, but by the time I was 10 I remember reading the very same book whilst on a school trip to France. And that was it, no going back. I grew up with Harry, he was my age, the final book came out when I finished secondary school. The film actors are the same age as me, it's my generation. I can't tell you what it means to me, it's something hugely special.

Onto Busted, then McFly, then McBusted and now back to Busted and McFly. My favourite bands. I loved Busted wholeheartedly, I cried when they split up. The silver lining was that they had introduced me to McFly who I loved just as much. McFly carried on, then they added James and Matt from Busted and McBusted were formed, I cried seeing them all on stage together. Then on 10th November 2015, Busted announced their reform, I cried again. I've loved all of them since it all started in 2000, we're talking 16 years of love there. I've met McFly several times, they represent me growing up, my teenage years and then transition into adulthood. I've yet to meet a member of Busted, when (not if) I do , I'll cry. I'm going to see them in May on the first date of their tour, I'm pretty sure I'll cry.

So that's me. And as you will see as time goes on, I ramble, that's why this is so long.

Happy to have you here with me
Love mrsjws
