Summer Dress

$59.95 Ebay

Busckscoop!

Yesterday I stumbled across this lovely website Buckscoop

It has discount vouchers, coupons and promo codes. I am not a big coupon person ( they are usually much more hassle than they are worth), but since i do alot of online shopping, i love the promo codes.

Most of these are for Australia, but i think i did see some for the larger overseas stores. You should def. check it out!

Another one for the collection...

Another Ebay moment...but so worth it!


I realise that i am not supposed to be buying stuff, but to counteract this I have listed some things on Ebay. Here is the link if you want to take a look!

Ebay

So, as you know, i am been TRYING to curb my shopping, but it's so hard! Ebay is what's really making things difficult. Yesterday, I was checking on one of my listings,and i stumbled across a NWT top in my size with an hour to go. So I placed a bid. And then someone outbide me. This is where I get caught- I am now in a competition. Even though I like the top and will wear it, it's the fact that someone is out bidding me that makes me want to win it.

After much bidding, I waited until there was 12 seconds left and placed my final bid....and I won! Hooray!

Here is the top I fouhgt so hard for, Copper St Jungle Ruffle top

Planning my days carefully

Days of the week underwear are back at Peter Alexander!

Every year i get a pack and LOVE them ( and before you ask, yes, I have to match the pair to the day- Monday on Mondays etc). You must check them out!

There are so many things i love at Peter Alexander, but these are my fav.

It's summer!

I know most of you are heading into Winter, but here is Oz it's Summer! This is very exciting - especially it will be my first Summer living right across from the beach.
With this is mind, i have been looking at accessories...


I have never been a hat person, but i could be persuaded...!










A scarf. So cute.

You can get these here

Memory Lane

I have an interesting Uni assignment to do. I have to write a 2500 word memoir about reading and/or writing. It's funny, because i had never thought about why i read- but when you do, it's interesting. Often it stems back to childhood, and it's fun to go back and look at what you used to read. Me? I was obsessed with the Baby Sitters Club, and funnily enough, Mills and Boon.

So, i pose the question: Why do you read, and what were you obsessed with?

Flamingos

Ok, so i find myself in the midst of a 'flamingo' phase. It is great, but there really aren't a lot of flamingo themed accessories out there.
I did, however, come across this little silver beauty.





What do you think?

Dress!

OMG, i am in love with this dress. Badly.

My head hurts

Argh, today my head feels all funky. Wanna know why? Ok, i'll tell you, but it's kinda gross...
Yesterday morning at about 5:00 am i work up with a terrible migrain, so i took some heavy duty painkillers in the hope that they would fix it. Oh how i was wrong.

From about 10-2 pm i was vomitting ( not that there was anything there to vomit mind you), and then spent the rest of the day trying to fall asleep to escape the pain.

Migraines suck! And while i'm not a stranger to them, they are changing in their effects, and getting progressively worse. I am pretty sure they are hormonal, so i am not quite sure how to handle them.

Any ideas? While i was in Brisbane, i did see my doc, and we decided to change my pill to the lowest degree. In a way, this has worked because i don't get them as often, but when i do they seem much worse.

Shoes!

I am in love with these shoes, pale pink suede and the red bow is detachable. Bliss.
$90 from Frock You. I can't buy them yet, but my shopping ban finishes very soon!

Buy pink

It seems that more and more people i know are getting Breast Cancer. At first i just knew one person, but now the list is growing. Friends, family and coworkers are being diagnosed and at a fast rate.

Honestly, i feel quite helpless. I donate money, buy the pens etc, but still feel...overwhelmed by something that is quite obviously out of our control. While i haven't had anyone close to me pass on, it only seems a matter of time.

This may seem quite trivial, but whenever i need to buy anything, i always to check if there is a 'pink' version, and have recently stumbled across some that have really caught my attention for many reasons; charity, looks, usage and cost.

Collette Dinnigan Ballet Slippers $69

Dunlop Volley shoes

Blush Leather Purse $100 www.luxeaccessories.com

Baby Jumpsuit $16

Teacup and Saucer set $8.95

Beach Towel $50

There are so many more than what's on my list, but i think this is a good start. I am considering buying through websites such as the NBCF and RSPCA for Christmas presents. What do you think?

Most of these items are available through here

That'd be right

Now, if i was shopping, i would definetly be buying up big from a brand called Friends of Couture , but i'm not so i can't.

It's been waaaay to long between haikus

Loud, rambunctious birds
I can't work with you so near
Nature is noisy!


Dear costly new pen
I am quite dissapointed
you're only OK

Excited

I am excited for today because:
1. I have new pens and highlighters to try out. As a proofreader these are my TOOLS.
2. Spring is here and it's supposed to be about 30 degrees today.
3. Following from previous point- i live ACROSS the road from the ocean!!
4. I am going to go browsing. Not shopping, but browsing.

Update

I am sure you all would be happy to know that i have NOT bought anything online in nearly a week ( although it has been relatively easy as i have run out of money :p)

However, i have been eyeing off this dress in Sportsgirl- it reminds me of a summer sunset, pinks, oranges and blues. So pretty. I went to try it on the other day and all they had was a size 6 or 14. WTF?

It's not on their website, but if i do end up getting it in-store, i will be sure to post a pic!

I think that's about it. I am still working from home and going to the gym and tennis, but am finding it hard to meet people my age. The gym isn't really a talkative place, and while there are some nice people at tennis, most of them are older. Thoughts? I was thinking of finding an art class, but think i might have the same problem.

Question: Where (apart from work), do you meet new people??

Quits

Ok, no more online shopping until the 17th October. I mean it.
I seriously need to get this little habit under control!

So......does anyone have any tips?

Also, what on earth am i going ot blog about?

Argh.

Skin stuff

As much as i love shopping for clothes, i also love skincare and makeup. Normally i am a Clarins or Clinque girl, but have recently bought these two from Benefit cosmetics ( and yes, I am a sucker from pretty packaging!).

Has anyone else used the Dear John cleanser or the You Clean Up Nice face wash?
