I had a sparkly day on Friday and thought I would document it!
These cute shoes I bought at Nine West a long time ago but I rarely wear them.
The “twinkle” tee I bought on sale from Peter Alexander. It’s super soft and comfy. I love it!
Sparkly pin for Daffodil Day – money goes to the Cancer Council.
Cute pink case for my iPhone that Alec bought me – deliberately not leather, what a sweetie.
Chocolates Alec brought me from Haighs – just because. 🙂 He’s such a sweetheart, thank you Alec!
I got this super, super-cute heart charm on eBay recently.
Bev and I received emails about this super-secret Pater Alexander sale online. We both ordered a pair of these super, super-cute PJs. Thanks to Bev’s extra discount we got them for only $17 each.
I had a recent problem where my favourite brown boots ended up on a boat to Prague – to hopefully be seen again in around nine months. To get over my heartache, I took part in some extreme shopping today with a very patient friend.
Mollini had a one-day only VIP 40% off sale – enough to make any retail loving girl slightly bananas. It seemed there were many girls like us in Sydney – and they were all packed into the Mollini stores. We went to three stores to get these awesome shoes – the first two of which were packed and sweaty and strewn with shoes and paper. The last one was blissfully forgotten about by shoppers and we could finally enjoy trying on shoes without elbows in our backs.
The results make me very happy – one pair of brown boots to temporarily replace my favourites while on their European holiday, and a pair of brown Mary Janes that I was planning to buy full-price anyway. Awesome shopping day!
One turned into two … turned into four? How did this happen?
I orderd a second-hand black Bambinone Tokidoki bag so I could wear it around everywhere and not worry about ruining it. Then Lisa brought me back an amazing messenger bag Toki from Haway in the L’Amore print – it’s gorgeous – and huge!
Sushi train for dinner at Chatswood! I don’t really like sushi, but I love edamane – I had two serves 🙂
Sweet pressies from Lisa – body wash and cute little Hawaii post-its.
I ordered this bag to take with me to Japan, but it arrived while I was away. No matter, it’s still a super, super cool bag.
I did go completely nuts. Here are a few things I brought home …
Tokidoki range from the Sanrio store. I will be re-selling most of these I think.
Cuuute Hello Kitty stuff.
New fragrances. The Prada one is particularly lovely.
I couldn’t believe Bev had never been to Newtown before. It’s my fave indie shopping Mecca, so met her for lunch, shopping and more food on a sunny Saturday.
Before shopping we needed to fuel up with some Thai that Newtown is famous for.
My fried rice and veges was amazing.
Bev’s beef thingy was enough for two. She said it was delicious. A shame I didn’t write down the name of the place!
After shopping, more snacks at Cafe C – my ice chocolate and Bev’s strawberry smoothie.
Churros and chocolate.
My shopping results – dress with little white hearts, books to read on the plane and warm peach cobbler-flavoured lip balm. It smells divine.
In! In!
Topless burger.
Vroom vroom!
What? All gone?
The free ice-cream Bev received for eating the whole hot dog.
Cupcake hat?
Beret?
Shower cap as fashion item.
The cupcake looked amazing but didn’t taste as good. It was missing something I couldn’t quite identify.
Matching sunnies are cool.Â
The boys joined us for dinner at Szechwan Gardens in St Leonards.Â
The “eight precious vegetables” dish was mine – totally delicious.
My deep and meaningful fortune cookie message.
Fresh-as-a-daisy fried ice-cream.
Fried ice-cream porn shot.
Banana fritter.
My new earrings. The extreme close-up isn’t very flattering.
My pretty bag in “ballet pink” and awesome lipgloss. It’s non-sticky and moisturising, with a touch of colour. Bev bargained the bag lady down from $79 and $75 per bag to $140 for two. Way to go!
These gumboots came from the Easter show. With Sydney weather the way it is I think I will be needing them.
