Minty Meets Munt

The vibrant print of this Minty Meets Munt shift jumped out at me on the racks at Emma & Eves vip night. Lucky enough to get a sweet discount so I had to grab it. Paired with a touch of neon pink nails, hot pink lips and the chartreuse water pearl bracelet I received in the gift bag from the night, which coincidentally happened to be the perfect colour.
 

The Navy Dress

this navy dress...the dress I've wanted for a while now. you know the one. that dress you look at and think about for weeks until you finally buy it.

Although for us shopaholics... sometimes it's not just a dress. It could be a warm knit, a pair of great shoes, a skirt, coat...anything.


For the last few weeks for me it was this navy pleated dress from Dotti that I've had my eye on. I finally bought it last week.

Dotti mini pleat belted dress $69.95

I was pretty pleased to find out that Chadstone VIP night included 20% off full price at Dotti. I was able to grab it for $55 instead of the usual $69.95...hey, every little bit counts.

I only have a few navy pieces, which have all been bought recently. I'm starting to really love wearing navy instead of only black. Also the fact that its pleated = love.

Worn with Sportsgirl necklace, tights and bracelets.

Bracelets, glass stretch set $19.95
Tights, baroque back seam tight $16.95

Sportsgirl Warrior necklace $29.95

My Little Makeover

In the past month I've bought a few bits and pieces to help tidy my room. I'm really messy and if I don't have a proper space for things..I end up not putting anything away (resulting in my fantastic floordrobe).

Half of my clothes no longer fit inside my actual wardrobe..so I got my hands on this rail to hang my knits and skirts.

I was surprised to find this cute jewellery hanger at Target. It's great for my extra long necklaces and I loved the script font.

These wooden coat hangers are from The Reject Shop, which means they were pretty cheap! (of course I would much rather spend money on more clothes than on coat hangers)

Can you ever have too many bags and scarves? I don't think so...but I did need somewhere to put them all...apart from on my door handle which made it impossible to use. 

I bought this bag tree at Big W (with a very old Coles Myer gift card I found when I was cleaning out my room...I love when that happens :P)

Once I'd sorted out my bedroom, I decided I needed to change something about myself too...so I impulsively cut my hair last month! I haven't ever had short hair so it's been a nice change.

Wedge Booties

I haven't ever owned wedges before but for this winter I decided to trade in my high heel boots for cute wedge booties! oh so comfy. 

 

I bought this pair at Santini by Windsor Smith - $99.95. I happened to grab them during the Doncaster VIP day which had 20% off full price at Santini..yay!..so I got them for $79.95 which I was pleased with. 

 

Only a few days after I bought this pair, while I was working I took more notice of our wedges..and decided to buy a camel pair as well.

Sportsgirl India crepe wedge in camel - were $99.95 now $69.95

Mad About Tights

I've been going crazy for all the tights around lately. I seriously can't remember the last time I wore pants.

I love statement tights!

There are so many to choose from...or if you're like me just buy them all.

All of these are currently available at Sportsgirl and can be found here under the hosiery section.

Floral net tight $16.95

I bought these babies today. I've been wanting them for a while because well...they're floral. love.

Bow fishnet $16.95

I like that these kind of have a mixed message... yes they're fishnets but they also have cute little bows. So they sort of have that good girl vs bad girl thing that so many singers seem to sing about.

Femme fatal tight $19.95

When I first wore these my mum described them as an 'architectural structure' and said they look like iron lace...and now I can also kind of see how they look like the details of a building.

Heart tight in nude $16.95

I bought these last month and I've already worn them to death. Every time I wear them someone compliments them or asks me if I'm even wearing tights...since apparently at first glance they look like hearts stuck to me haha.

The flash made them look shiny here but they're not.

I liked the heart ones so much that I decided to try the black sheer pair as well.

Heart tight in black $16.95

I can't decide which ones I like better now.

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.
