Retail Therapy

I haven't done a post lately because it seems all my time has been spent either shopping ...or at work helping other people shop (where I also tend to buy a lot for myself). The last few weeks have been filled with my post Christmas purchases and items for my new year wardrobe. I even needed to purchase a chest of draws from Ikea, having filled my whole wardrobe. Every time I clean out my wardrobe...I seem to make more new purchases than those I'm getting rid of!

There are always a lot of sales this time of year and I can't resist. But I think of it as buying myself late Christmas presents after I've spent money on family and friends.

Here's a few of my recent buys.

Valleygirl dress for only $19.95 - it has lace at the back which you can see here.

Sportsgirl slouchy cardi in camel $59.95

Sportsgirl spooky pooky owl necklace $16.95

I thought the print on the dress was cute and it was so cheap I couldn't not buy it. I love the pearl eyes of the owl, kinda freaky but somehow cute at the same time.



I thought it was time for new black heels I can wear with anything since they never last me long (note to self: don't fall down stairs at a club in my new heels and ruin them)

Betts Suzie Platforms $76.95 from $109.95


Sportsgirl Ruffle Pocket Dress $89.95

I love paisley and it's not very common in formal dresses... and ofcourse I love the pockets.

Sportsgirl jumper - Intarsia pullover $79.95
- worn with vintage pendant




Glassons denim shorts $29.95

Sportsgirl Tilly's Lace Shirt in slate $89.95

worn with Sportsgirl hope necklace (old)


Dotti Dita Strapless Dress $49.95 from $69.95


Dotti had a one day sale last week where it was another 50% off sale items so I actually nabbed this dress for only $25.

I also found this cute skirt for only $15!
Now it's $29.95 and was originally $49.95
Dotti Bow Front Skirt

Worn with Bardot top from Myer $29.95


Sportsgirl Sunnies $39.95

Sportsgirl Tribal shirt tail skirt $79.95

Sportsgirl Intrepid necklace $24.95
At first I wasn't sure about this skirt because I've never really worn long skirts and wasn't sure if I liked it being longer in the back (what Kelly Osbourne would call 'the mullet dress') but I think this one grew on me because I really like it now.

  1. Out of all your buys, I love the Sportsgirl jumper! It's more of a winter thing, but its not too early to shop for it right? :)
    Haha and to the photo - I don't know if its photoshopped (the photo is froma friend) but poladroid gives it an affect aswell. It is amazing though xxx

  3. thanks yeah I love the jumper and I've been able to wear it a few weeks ago on windy days but it's been far too warm lately. but thats ok because I love summer! the only thing I like about winter is all the awesome clothes :P

    Mel I don't think it's too early to buy winter things. most of our new stuff thats come in this week has been for winter! it comes out so early. stock up I say.

    ..and is it bad that this isn't even all my new stuff? lol
