My recent purchases...

A lot of shops seem to be having mid-season sales ATM. So I finally gave in and went shopping. I had few things on my wishlist and needed few basics so I ended up getting...

1. WITCHERY

Amy Nude Pumps...RRP$149.95...paid $63.96


 Witchery currently has 20% off already reduced items. I really wanted these shoes when they were just got reduced to $99.95. However I saw many pairs in store and decided to wait...Then price came donw to $79.95 and with 20% off I ended up paying less than half of RRP!

I love them! They will go with almost anything, wide heel makes them very comfortable and patent leather wears a lot better than regular leather. I always had a good luck with Witchery shoes and been buying them for years.

2. COUNTRY ROAD

 Country Road has 25% off already reduced items.
 

 Drop Shoulder T-Shirt RRP$49.95...paid $14.96
Basic loose-fitting semi-sheer tee. It is made from linen blend fabric so it flows nicely. I see myself wearing it a lot. I needed a good-fitting white tee, this one ticked all the boxes!






White Studded Sweat Tee RRP$59.95...paid $22.46



 Made from thick cotton so it is perfect for Brisbane winter! I am also planning to wear it to work, teamed with skinny black pants and ballet flats

Sateen 3/4 Pant RRP$99.00...paid $44.96


 I can finally wear white pants without being self-conscious! This pair fits nicely and not too see-through. I've been wearing my River Island black skinny jeggings all the time so this pair is a welcome addition to my basics range.


MYER

McQ by Alexander McQueen skirt RRP$550...paid $88.00


I wanted a nice tulle skirt for over a year now. In 2011 I started watching Sex and the City and was inspired by the tulle skirt Carrie was wearing. I found this one on the 75% off rack and it was my size! The sales lady in Myer City was very nice too and made my buy of the months even more special.


 EBAY

Maurie and Eve Lapis Pants RRP$139.95...paid $52

 Finally I found a pair of loose fitting print pants for under $70!



I did all this shopping with my Ebay proceeds. I've sold over 30 items in the last 30 days. I must say that the majority of my Ebay money will go towards the final wedding expenses. I can't believe it is only 3 weeks away...eek...

    Lovely shoes :) I've never thought of buying shoes at Witchery, but I'll have to check them out. Did you go to the DFO? *can't seem to find that shoe on their site*

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Image
Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a
