Wish lists!!

Today's post may be a bit boring because it's mainly about my wishlists :-). I haven't been able to hit the sales because I'm due to have a baby any minute, and I've been spending all my money on last minute purchases for the little one (as evidenced by previous posts over the last few months I probably should of been doing that earlier lol). So instead I have been creating wishlists on the Internet! Of course we have ASOS - luckily I am not feeling ASOS to much at the moment and I only have polka dot heels in my saved items (oh and the raybans are still in there). I don't think I will get these though as they are 13cm heels!!! I'm totally over stiletto heels and am hoping smaller ones come back soon - I do heart polka dots though.

MIMCO!! Again evidenced by my blog I love Mimco :-). I previously bought a cross body cocoon bag which has become my fav bag of all time. I love both the tiger print one and the black sequin one - and am seriously thinking about buying the tiger print one this coming pay day. And then I need to stop buying bags! Seriously eek.

Boxing day sale blues and I heart online shopping!

The Boxing day sales have been very disappointing - the week before Xmas actually proved to have better sales!  I ended up making some online purchases today (seems that lately all my purchases are online hmm), but they are baby related and you can read about them on my baby blog: http://yoyoyoyobabypop.blogspot.com/. 

Talking about online shopping, I went in to Diva to buy some Xmas presents and stumbled upon a perfect earring stand for only $9.95 - it comes with as many stud holes as the $24.95 one from Howard Storage World plus it has room for necklaces:

I also was guilty of picking up a pair of feather earrings that were on sale for $4 - for myself, isnt that how Xmas shopping goes, one for me - one for you :-P

Back to Online shopping - when I got on to www.diva.net.au to download the photos of my purchases, I discovered that Diva have an awesome online shopping site now - and they even have paypal checkout!!  I think I will need to stay away from this website lol.

Xmas and Chocolate Ripple Cake!

Pretty much my most favourite things about Xmas is chocolate ripple cake! Either my Hubby or his family makes this every Xmas, its the most easiest thing to make but its sooo delicious and we tend to only have at as a treat at Xmas.  Because I am to lazy to actually take a photo of our chocolate ripple cake that was prepared today, I have nabbed this one from: http://handmadelife.blogspot.com/, which is a pretty good craft blog to check out.

I am pretty excited about what I might get for Xmas, not to mention baby is due any day.  Family are coming around, Xmas ham and swimming in the pool - In the words of the awesome Hilltop Hoods (and Sia) - I love it I love it!

jewellery project unhinged

So you may have noticed that the jewellery project hasnt been updated for awhile.  The move threw everything off and I am still resorting everything out.  I have discovered however that I have way to many earrings and I need to buy another earring stand from Howards Storage World.  Speaking of which I have noticed that all the studs I have bought from Lovisa are in a terrible condition and half of them needing throwing away :-(.  I never had this problem with Diva studs so will probably return to Diva to pick up cheapie studs in future.

I think I will check out some cheapie shops before I commit to this earrings stand from HSW - I already have two, and $24.95 seems a bit steep for another one

This was a recent purchase that I forgot to blog about, sneaky purchases!  I just love jewellery, I have been staying away from the stores quite a bit in an effort not to buy any 'me' purchases, which has been quite successful.  I have still not had a chance to wear the chunky blue necklace which I love so I am hoping I get a chance soon!!

Wishlists and sweet smells

My plan to get through my perfumes do I can justify a new purchase is going very very slowly! Coming up to Xmas, magazines have been putting in tons of samples of perfumes which I have been using! But I did manage to finish Estée Lauder's Beautiful perfume, I always seem to get tons of EL samples with my free gift with purchases so would never actually fork out the $$ for one - but they are a nice perfume. I have my eye on Prada's Candy perfume, I hope I can pick up a cheap box set after Xmas. I am also thinking of putting in an ASOS order, haven't had one for ages. I think these tops are pretty cheap (plus 20% off) together the order will be only $24...hmm will I or won't I!

New York dreams

I dream of a New York holiday, it's the one place in the world where I really really want to go. 2012 was supposed to be the big holiday year, then a baby decided to it was that 2012 was its year instead ;-). Which I am soooo happy about but it changed our priorities for 2012. Instead we are going to put our big holiday money into doing major renovations on our house and do the big trip 2013. So I am thinking as a consolation prize I might get this Tiffany and Co keyring. It's actually very practical as well as I need a key chain for my keys desperately. I think every girly girl needs some Tiffany bling and some New York dreams ( I can feel a Sex in the City marathon coming on).

Blogger angst - The NBN better be worth it!

So 6 weeks ago we moved into our house. I immediately got excited as our suburb is one of only two that can get the NBN! Optus are the service provider I picked and we got an awesome deal. At the time there was no mention of any delays, a couple of days later i got a call that someone was coming out to physically install something then the following week we could go live. Six weeks later I'm expecting someone in two days - I have to be home between 8am and 5pm! Totally ridiculous, especially as on the front of the weekend paper the NBN providers were complaining about the lack of take up.

So for six weeks I've been hotspottjng my iPhone which has been painful as it drops out every 5 mins :-(. It means I haven't been able to update my IPad to the latest version so I can't access Cloud resources and I dont have the edit photos function either - both making blogging very hard to do. Ive gone from blogging daily to once a week if lucky :-(.

Bargain purchases I've made recently : enviro shopping bag for $4.95 - it rolls up so I can squash it into my smallest handbag, I have mimco ones that ive used for years but this one is small enough to use in tiny handbags. Sparrow necklace from lovisa $4.95. And Nak dry shampoo, this is actually my favorite one but I always buy Klorane as it's cheaper - That's Life magazine which I don't buy had a free Nak giveaway, the shampoo is worth $22 and the magazine cost $3. I literally bought the magazine ripped the coupon out walked around the corner to the participating store and picked one up! Now that's a bargain ;-).
