Saturday morning treats

After being woken up at 6:30am by my next-door neighbour's atrocious singing, I eventually fell back asleep and woke up at 10:30am - a more reasonable hour for a Saturday. I rushed to the post office to picked up a parcel (my new Comme des Garçons wallet) and cooked myself a very yummy brunch.  

Surviving the silly season

This little pack would be very very handy to have on one's beside table, within arm's reach. That way you can party hardy as much as you want and don't have to worry about looking like shit the next day because let's be honest, it's what everyone fears after a bender.

Stomp stomp stomp

Clompity clomp clomp. Stompity stomp stomp.  These Alexander Wang Claudia cut-out ankle boots are now on sale.  The little details have won me over - nails on the side and the chunky heel.  Let's not forget, the contrast leathers which make these booties look super fierce.

Unfortunately, my snow cold European adventure requires closed toe boots, otherwise I would have clicked 'add to cart' long ago.

Pop colour jeans

If you weren't a fan of coloured denim before, prepare to be converted. 

Dilemma: Keep or sell?

Lovely readers, you know me well. When I become obsessed with something, I simply need to have it.  Well, that's what happened with these Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Nana Biscuit Tongue Boots.  I enthusiastically ordered them and now these lovely shoesies are now in my possession.  Yes, I was lucky enough to receive not one, but two of out of three of my online shopping orders today. 

The problem with online shopping, however, is when you're teeny tiny like me, you don't really know if your purchases are going to fit you. I had a dream last night about these boots being too big for me and I was devastated when it turned out to actually be a premonition.  But my feet don't slide all too much in these size 6 babies when I wear them with really, really thick folded down bed socks like these. 

So, tell me dear readers, what do you think I should do? Keep or sell them, as Opening Ceremony don't refund international orders - boo.

Emerald City

 

Approximately 12 hours ago, one of the mail boys delivered a very large stack of newspapers, magazines and letters.  Sandwiched in between an envelope full of magazines and today's Sydney Morning Herald, I saw an unmistakable spotted satchel peeping through. My Topshop jeans had arrived!

My work big sister managed to convince me to try them on straight away but since I was wearing tights, the attempt was unsuccessful.  If only we had captured that moment! As soon as I got home, I ripped off those black tights and said hello to emerald pins.  These 7/8th length jeans are absolutely perfect for me, no trip to the alterations lady needed.  Would it be excessive to order in every other colour it comes in because boy am I tempted - I told you I was obsessed! But only once my shopping fast is over, of course!

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, I'll show you my blue side

Michael Van Der Ham x Topshop wedges

I really should ban myself from looking at the shoes on the Topshop site.  Every time, even I just take a really short wee little browse, I fall in love with a pair.  

A couple of weeks ago, I fell in love with the red version of these wedges from the normal Topshop range.  I wanted them so much I began to wonder whether there was a way I could make my feet grow (just a tad) or permanently balloon up so my size 5 footsies could magically fit into size 6 shoes.  Ridiculous? I know, but months ago I tweeted Topshop begging them to make size 5's and they didn't even acknowledge my request - #fail. 

For some reason I found myself really desperate just to hold these red wedges.  Last Friday afternoon, I saw that they would be featured in this week's Grazia, I found myself so desperate that I asked a work colleague to "please buy them so I can live vicariously through you?" Her response?  "No, I'm too tall as it is." Booo.  Tomorrow, I'll try tempt Amanda with the midnight and cornflower blue alternatives.

Holy Mulberry! Look what I discovered on the train today

It was yesterday morning when I discovered the Mulberry iPhone/ iPad app. And it was this morning when I was sitting on the train that I decided what's the harm in filling my shopping bag with my heart's desires? Now really, what is the harm? Nada, there's isn't any. But still I'd better put my iPhone back into my Alexa before I "accidently" click the 'checkout' option.
