Pinning!

Love Pinterest, am pinning heaps of hair ideas for this wicked beast that is my hair. Got to wear my new Mimco watch that I bought for $70. Though I had to pay $15 to get links taken out darn it. Still a bargain!

A polka dot kinda day

Hair hair yeah yeah

Still searching for inspiration to do something with the beast that is my hair! Finally wore the fur vest from Zara, it moulted all over my shirt and jeans lol. 

NY

Is it uncool to wear a NY shirt while in NY? I'm guessing yes, darn it. Finally got to pull out my Bulldog jumper from Dotti, love love. 

Clutch me

Really wanted this Matador clutch from Mimco, but even reduced to $99 from $279 it's still out of my financial reach while on my shopping ban. It did annoy me that it didn't have a bag strap as well, kinda over having to hold clutches. Then I found a cheap one at Colette Accessories

that ticked all the boxes plus was half price so was only $17. Score! I also got two necklaces for $3 and a coin purse for $4. 

Dreaming of summer

Ugh it's winter, proper Winter. As much a I love Winter dressing I do miss Summer clothes - particularly wearing my skorts! Darn it. Instagram is torturing me with summer skorts pics!!

Pink polka dot dressing gown

Not as appealing as a pink polka dot bikini - but hey it's Winter and I have to stay warm! Have been looking for a dressing gown for ages, couldn't find a nice luxurious one so have up and got a pink polkadot one from knitting for $22. Bit obsessed with polka dots ATM and wore my polka dot blouse to work today. And mountains of layers, brrr Winter.

Taming the shrew round one

Priceline had 30% off John Frieda products. So I took the opportunity to restock my arsenal needed to tame the shrew that is my hair. Got a new paddle brush, heat protector, conditioner mask, serum for my ends and blonde hairspray. Wish me luck. 

Make me up

Although in 5 weeks time I will be able to hit Sephora in NY and buy heaps if makeup a lot cheaper, I have needed some finishing powder and spray for ages and was getting impatient. My MAC prep and prime finishing powder was awesome but ran out a few months ago, and I'm definitely not buying MAC until our trip. So I found alternate cheaper products by Australis, I bought a cheek tint from Australis years ago and it's still going strong and my fav! And they have cool 'how to' videos on their website. Priceline had a deal where I also got a lip care trio for free which I needed as well so allthree fir $20 so yay. 

Chilling out

Reading material for the chill out weekend: Cleo magazine and Jessica Alba's book 'the honest life'. The book is from the library, but I splurged and bought the latest Cleo! Love my owl jumper from Big W, such a bargain for $19, it's a cute way to cheer up a frosty day. I was a bit brownish next to my little feet daughter who was head to toe in pink lol.

New shoes!

My Novo shoes that I have had for only 6mths and barely wore fell apart, like FELL apart - both pairs... Grr. And I was at work so double grr. I have been in the market for a nice pair of black work shoes for awhile so was lucky to find a pair today at Wittner - original price $150 reduced to $70. Hopefully they will last alot longer than 6 dodgy months! I don't think they class as breaking the shopping ban as They were an essential item boot a want!  Wore a yellow Ally dress with a polka dot collar, haven't seen anything cute at Ally all year - been good for the shopping ban ;-). 

Warm head

Popped into Sportsgirl and broke my spending ban, but the hit wasn't to bad - only $28 for two beanies and a pair of tights - lots of Winter bargains at the moment, so sad I'm on a shopping ban. Today I wore one of my work skirts that I had uncovered in my declutter weekend, after wearing it today I have put in the donation bag - it is old and I don't love it so it needs to go! Then I got changed into casual clothes ..love love my Zara jeggings, they are so comfy! 

Blinded by the colour

Had one of those days when I had to wear extremely colorful bright clothes. Luckily I have a few options in my wardrobe ;-). My Asos turquoise tropical dress with my blue Zara blazer and a pink cotton on cardigan. Very bright lol. It did brighten my day so mission accomplished. 

Summer lovin

I'm waiting for summer so I can wear this playsuit! Well maybe..I'm still not sure if I could pull it off but I love the concept of summer and being able to wear it. It is a fine balance with play suits, especially long pants ones!  I'm thinking about getting a hair curler, I'm so tired if my boring boring hair. I will wait until I am in the US to get one but there are so many to choose from! Eek!
