Hello you. And by you I mean me as my life is basically just me talking to myself, sometimes people listen. Sometimes not, but I just keep rambling on anyways. This time there’s a lot to talk about. Spring/Summer 22 is here already (well except with Loungefly, we’re still a little behind.

Is anyone else obsessed with the Erstwilder Paris Holiday collection? I know I am, especially the berets and I’m very jealous that one of my social media followers can win one. Noami at Wednesday Jones has very kindly donated the prizes. If you subscribe to this newsletter you get an automatic entry but take a look at Facebook and Instagram for more details. Please do make sure you complete all three steps to enter (like both accounts, find an item you like on the Wednesday Jones website and tag a friend).
It’s A Date!
We have a date for the first release of the shopDisney Mickey Mouse the Main Attraction. Friday the 28th of January at 8am. The collection will include a Loungefly, Ears, Plush, Pin and Key and the first month will be themed after Space Mountain. The bag from the Minnie Mouse version of the collection from 2020 sells for a lot so I’d expect these to sell out pretty quickly. I’ll be in London for my birthday so I’m really hoping the Oxford Street store will be selling the collection again.
New Funko Europe Exclusives
There’s three new Loungefly exclusives on the Funko Europe website. The first I love. The Toy Story Pizza Planet Truck. It’s so detailed, there’s even Buzz and Woody on the back hiding in a cup and container. The bag lights up too I think, or glows in the dark (It’s hard to tell, the description on the website is for Wreck-It-Ralph instead, but I think it might be both). The Harry Potter Quidditch bags have arrived too. The side pocket confuses be but i love the pattern and little snitch charm on the zipper.
Step Into Spring
A new season is in the air and we’re going to step into it in style with the latest newness from Irregular Choice. So far we have the very cute Ladybuggin, a pretty Splendid Story, Paddle Boat with the pretty swans and for the flat lovers Oh Darling and Blossoming Beauty sandals.
The Iconics have had a spring makeover too with new Ban Joes, Nick Of Time, Summer Breeze, Corporate Beauty, Kanjanka, Fancy That, Clara Bow, Piccolo, Abigails 3rd Party, Barbarosa and Victoria Sponge (which are exclusive to Irregular Choice.
Ekaterina and Cosy Quilt have also joined the iconics range. I’ve added them all to the Iconics Archive.
We have a new bag too that is seriously so sweet. It’s called Sugar And Spice and it looks delicious. It’s exclusive to Irregular Choice.
You can find all the newness in a gallery at the end of this newsletter.
WDW 50th Loungefly
Two more of the anniversary Loungefly have finally made it to our shores and onto the shopDisneyUK website. I have to admit I’m not really a fan of either sadly. The gold Luxe Logo mini backpack could be cute but I’m not keen on it being real leather or the price tag at £275. I would be too scared to use it at that price. The second bag is the Castle which could be pretty if styled right but doesn’t have the same appeal as the holy grail castle Loungefly of the past.
You Gnome You Want It
Our first Irregular Choice exclusive of the year at Lottie’s Atik and I gnome you’re gonna like it (Sorry, I’ll stop now). The polka dot Gnome Sweet Gnome in red and green. These are a modern version of the ICED Gnomeo from way back in 2013. Use code ‘isoSrh5092’ for discount.
March Loungefly Real Life Images
It’s always a risk pre-ordering a Loungefly based on the sketch design and so I always get excited when we get real life images. This time even more so because it’s Care Bears. Both designs are better than i expected although I think I’m loving the crossbody more than the mini backpack.
Here’s the rest of the real life images. Peter Pan is pretty and I love the Marie cupcake but I’m not liking what they have done to ET.
Collectif SS22
Newness is arriving at Collectif too. There are so many pretty new pieces, perfect for the season of the hearts. The Tipsy Elephant design would go so well with the Lipstick And Chrome brooch available at Oh My, Marie.
December & January Loungefly
We’re still playing catchup with Loungefly releases but December and January collections are starting to appear in stock on Funko Europe and so should be with all of the usual stockists soon (You can find the stockist list here). The January collection only have two Raya bags and wallets so fingers crossed we don’t get too many delays in 2022. You can see a full gallery of the latest releases at the end of this newsletter.
So This Is Love
Do you know when you’ve seen something again and again and then one day you suddenly realise that you love it? Don’t worry, I’m not talking about the husband. It’s this Unique Vintage Hollie dress from Rockamilly. I wish I’d realised how i felt before it was too late (I’m pledging not to buy any new new clothes in 2022. If someone wants to buy it, wear it and then sell it to me then that would be great). I’m including it in the newsletter because the husband proof reads it and it’s my birthday in 11 days. It’s a futile attempt but always worth a try.
Random Find
I’m trying to avoid looking at Jellycat because a feel it’s a very big rabbit hole. I love them all on the Daisy Park website but especially this Hippo backpack. I think I need him.

The Irregular Choice sale is ongoing.

The light up Charming Heart are now £159, Garden Gala £189 and Loren Love £59.99.
There’s still some great Erstwilder pieces in the Daisy Park sale including the Mad Hatter double brooch.
My favourite bargains from the Funko Europe website at the moment are the Barbie Fun In The Sun mini backpack at a bargain £35, the Tuxedo Sam crossbody with changeable bows now £33 and Vampire Stitch at £53 (I don’t like Stitch but his cape that opens up is pretty cool).
Irregular Choice Hello Kitty is now half price at Lovely Boutique. Bargain prices.
