New Purchases

 Mid-year sales can be very tempting. I find that they are much better than Boxing Day sales. Lots of places are offering discounts on sale and full priced items. 

I am going overseas in three weeks and I know I should be saving more but I couldn't resits few things recently. So here is what I got in the last 6 weeks.

Country Road 

Lace Top...RRP $129.95, paid $49.90 

I got it from DFO outlet, it was faulty because it had a bit of make-up on the collar. The issue was easily fixed by soaking it in Napisan, then hand-washing it. I was looking for a top like that for quite sometime. 
 
Sequined Yoke Shirt...RRP $149.95...paid $49.90

Got it from DFO as well, it has one missing sequin :) I got rid of my other CR white shirt and feel like this is a better version because it is more fitted.

 Micro Check Pants...RRP $129.95..paid $49.90

Also purchased from DFO, they had one belt loop detached, took me 3 min to fix it. I love these pants, it is very had to find good work pants these days that are good quality, look smart yet stylish.

 


SABA
Kylie Stripe top..RRP $49.95...paid $34.50
I wanted this top for quite sometime but my size was always sold out. I was lucky enough to get it today with 30% discount :)
ASOS
...paid around $30
I got this River Island striped tunic few weeks ago and been wearing it a lot. It it quite long so it goes well with leggings.
GlassonsGlassons is my favourite budget-friendly store. The quality of the clothes is very decent and their designs are quite good. you can order online too and they will mail it to you for free! Lets just hope it won't go cr@p after few years like Forever New.


 Floral fitted dress...RRP $69.95...paid $32.50
 I fits well and has layered skirt. I am taking it overseas with me and planning to wear it to one of the upcoming weddings.
 
Harem Pants...RRP $49.95...paid $22.50
Super soft and comfortable. I already wore them a few times. I am taking them with me too and planning to fly in them, much better alternative to track pants and they are more comfortable than jeans :)

Happy Birthday Barbie!

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
