I've Been Feeling Childish Lately...

Subsequently, I have become enamoured of these giggle-making products. This is my "indulge the little girl within" wishlist.


1. So deliciously kitsch. I'd probably eat 'em all in one sitting. Hello Kitty Lil' Devil Cinnamon Hots are €12 at colette.fr


2. This Mr Bump first aid kit will look so cute in the bathroom cabinet. I'll almost be happy when I graze my knee (which I do frequently). €12, colette.fr


3. "Mummy, I want to go to Disneyland!" I whined at my mother, aged seven or so. I got to go, but my memories consist solely of swirly lollipops chock full of E-numbers, whirling round in teacups until I nearly threw up (I was so un-hardcore back then..) and shrieking my head off in the Phantom Manor. This version of the Disney castle, by Disney Couture, is much cuter and less nausea-inducing. And what's more, it's got Swarovski diamonds in the doorway. Win. $80, fredflare.com


4. "In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines,
Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.
They left the house, at half past nine,
The smallest one was Madeline."
Ah, such were the days of my youth. I read Madeline and Eloise instead of watching the Teletubbies or whatever. By wearing this tee, I can channel Madeline's gutsy attitude (poor long-suffering Miss Clavel!) and wish I were standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe aussi. $24, fredflare.com


5. Hm. To be quite honest, I'm not really sure who the superhero on this Luella tee is. Batman, maybe? Where's the bat symbol? Hrr, I still find it cute. Although he doesn't seem to be wearing socks. This kind of reminds me of a David Shrigley sketch. £55, net-a-porter.com (Sorry I keep mixing currencies, by the way. Should I convert everything to pounds?)


6. So simple, yet so lovable. I want. (Even though I could replicate it with a grey M & S tee and a graffiti can for a tenth of the price.) £125, Moschino Cheap & Chic at net-a-porter.com


7. Another Mr Man (I'm allowed to love Mr. Men and Little Miss's, because I had practically the whole set when I was a younging). This one's Mr Funny, gracing a pair of Topshop girl boxers. £4, topshop.com


8. God, I am definitely going to Topshop next weekend. These bunny girl boxers are just too cute. £4, topshop.com

I'm going to avoid my revision now by going and eating some Iced Rings and Phish Food-flavoured Ben & Jerry's in front of Beauty & The Beast now. Mm.
