Market time!

I went to the market this past weekend and a few weekend before that, managed to pick up a few things. The first and second dress I got from my first trip to the market for $10 each. This particular stall I got it from had loads and loads of pretty dresses and after my first trip there I badly wanted to go back to see what else I could find. I was so excited to go back, but when I got there I’ve found out they’ve jacked up the price to $15/dress. Still bought a few things but felt ripped off :(

Anyway enjoy the haul (a word of warning: it’s picture heavy!)

Outfit above
Dress: market, Earrings: my mum’s, Ring: Forever 21, Bracelets: Myer, Belt: Valleygirl

This top has bees on them!! Adorable!

I wasn’t sure about getting the peach maxi dress above; but I needed another piece for the 3 for $20 deal (I got the blue dress below and the colourful polka dot blouse with the deal). The fit of the dress is rather awkward on me, but I fell in love with the colour, the dots and stripes. Maybe I’ll cut the dress shorter, not sure what I’m going to do with it yet.

I love this dress! The colour makes me happy and the pleated skirt is pretty :) The top part is rather loose on me though (as you can see from the picture of my back), but I’m planning to wear this with a top underneath anyway so I don’t think it matters too much. I also think it looks nice unbuttoned at the top.

The black and white hounds tooth dress and the green dress are both from the stall I previously mentioned, I paid $30 for both. I first saw the green dress on a hanger being held by this girl and thought ‘oooo how pretty is that colour! I want it!’ To my delight she put back the dress and I snatched it off the rack straight away. The 2 top buttons’ middle part have fallen off though :( but I don’t think it’s that obvious and I can always replace the buttons, no biggies…

Finally got through it all. I’m going to make myself a cup of hot tea now since it’s so cold here! It’s meant to be summer!! Maybe we’ll get to experience an ‘almost’ white Christmas ^^ (wishful thinking)

OOTD and Collective Haul

What I wore today

Top: Sass&Bide, Shorts: Wish (from Glebe), Watch: Michael Kors, Ring: Valleygirl, Earrings: Table Eight outlet, Sunnies: Random shop at Market City

I went to Sportsgirl today; I like checking out shops like these for inexpensive on-trend accessories as well as beauty products. I picked up a coral pink matte lipstick called ‘Fruit Tingle’ for $9.95. I really like the orange undertone that the lipstick has, orange seems to flatter me a lot more than pink. I’m wearing the lipstick in the above pictures (because I’m the type of person that rips open my new purchases and try them out straight away =p). I like the consistency of it and the fact that it doesn’t have a scent or taste. I’ve tried out some of the Sportsgirl lip glosses and they have a waxy plastic smell which I’m not particularly fond of.

I picked up a silver glitter nail polish called ‘Fruit Salad’ for $7.95. I like the round glitter pieces in the polish; makes me think of a disco ball. I’m planning to layer this on top of a dark nail polish.

I also purchased these candles a while ago from Peter Alexander ($38 each). The first one is Leura (Jasmine Blossom), when I burn this one it transports me to one of my favourite holiday places; Bali. The other one is Tahaa (Vanilla Caramel), I don’t usually like sweet smelling scents, but this one smells like you’ve been baking cupcakes all day long and who doesn’t like cupcakes?

These next three pieces I got from a pop-up market near my house. There was a special deal; buy any 3 pieces for $30. The brand is called Myth Conception, I’m not sure if these are handmade but some of the rings at the stall, I’ve seen before at Forever 21.

Hope you enjoyed!
