frankie christmas wishlist – shannon jenkins

If you’ve ever wondered what stuff frankie’s editor would pretty-please like for Christmas, she’s given us a list (and we’re checking it twice). Shannon is dreaming up a lot of lovely things, including some very shiny additions to her wardrobe. If you’re yet to string up the tinsel on your tree, take a gander at this lovely lot of glittering bits below.

Follow the number guide in the above image.

1. You know that rich, magical smell of rain on dry ground? It has a name: petrichor. Apparently that’s what this candle smells like. Absolutely divine.

2. I love all of Lauryn Alvarez’s art. It’s so fun and fresh. This playful print would look absolutely fabulous on my wall. I just know it.

3. Can you tell I like silver? Santa, just turn me into a luminous star, please (the night sky kind). That’s the vibe I’m going for this festive season: all chromed up like a Christmas ornament.

4. I’m not normally a nude girlie – black, red, grey and blue are more my thing. However, I am a slut for spikes and silver hardware, so this Poppy Lissiman beauty grabbed my attention immediately. I love that the hue leans pink rather than the usual lifeless beige, and reckon it’d add a lot of interest to an all-black outfit.

5. I’ve been obsessed with the circus and vaudeville aesthetic since I was wee. Or at least, Since Panic! At the Disco did their Nothing Rhymes with Circus Tour. Devastated that I found this perfect Pierrot-ish blouse only to realise it is already sold out. Someone call up Kina and Tam and tell them to BRING HER BACK (please).

6. This summer, I intend to live in a uniform of baggy oversized tees and baggy oversized shorts. Basically, I’m going for ‘12-year-old boy’. These shorts look comfy as. Could get up to so much mischief in these.

7. These pantaloons are so shiny and slick. Remember how I said I wanted to look like a star? Well, case in point. Am I putting together a Christmas wishlist, or simply planning an outfit? Who knows.

8. I dunno if this brand is legit but an ad for these specs popped up in my Instagram feed and I’ve been thinking about them ever since. All that silver really floats my boat. I can imagine wearing these to music festivals.

9. How schmick is this cutlery set? I like to consider myself the platter queen, but even my well-stocked charcuterie spread is missing a bit of whimsical cutlery. Hook ‘em to my veins.

10. My summer plan is to spend two weeks bobbing about in my mum’s pool in the searing outback, only getting out of the water to consume platter fare and ice-cold drinks. This beaded one-piece would make me look incredibly flash while doing so.
