Retail Therapy

I'm really loving the animal print trend at the moment, so much so that I bought 3 pairs of animal print flats from Love Couture. To be fair they were having a $10 off all flats deal, so each pair cost me $9.95! Bargain! I've only worn the leopard print pair once and honestly they are not the most comfortable shoes but for the price I guess I can't complain. I'm curious to see whether they hold up and whether I can break them in. If you are interested in getting them the one thing that I would strongly advise is to try them on. The sizing is a bit strange, I had to get one pair in size 8 (which is my usual size), one pair in size 9 and one in size 10.







I also picked up this cute long sleeve romper from TEMT

 Also some knitwear from ChicABooti (the mint green one - I'm obsessed with this colour!) and Target (the brown one)


This necklace I got from Pigeonhole. I love how dainty and delicate it is and that you can wear the two separately or together.



I've been on the hunt for a pair of flat riding boots. I wanted it to be plain with a simple buckle detail. I saw this pair at Betts on sale from $199.99 down to $49.99! I couldn't pass it up even if they were a half size too big. I think a pair of thick socks should solve the problem.

Lastly I've been in love with these Revlon colorburst lip butters, a friend of my sister got them for me from the US. In Australia I've only seen them in a chemist at Carousel Shopping Centre in Cannington retailing at $22.95! I think in the US they range from $8-$12 USD. The price difference is ridiculous :(


 I hope you are all enjoying Easter! Have a safe and wonderful break :)

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!)

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)
