Typo goes online and jewelery project and Iphone upgrade

I heart Typo!  It has cheap quirky stuff that is good for around the house or for the office.  I actually have not bought anything for the house from Typo, but I have plenty of stuff at the office - its a good one to personalise your space and cheer up your day! http://shop.cottonon.com/typo/.
This is an example of the cool stuff you can get from Typo - this is a pencil case, but I use it as a makeup bag!







Jewelery Project

These hoops are from Lovisa, I invested in am expensive classic pair of gold hoops years ago, but never got good silver hoops because they always bring out cheap cool silver hoops that are different.  I love big hoops!

Pink bracelet, this is actually a proper crystal bracelet, but because I have no interest in those kind of things I did not pay attention to what kind of crystal it was!  It was a gift :-




So I upgraded my Iphone software for my Iphone 4, the upgrade took an agonising three hours - then it crashed my Iphone and wouldnt finish the installation and just stayed on the apple icon :-(.  Luckily I remembered a recent news story involving virus protectors and the new software, so I turned my virus software off and it reinstalled no probs.  Arrgh to technology!  So far I havent worked out all the extras, but the new way the messages are presented is pretty cool.  I love my Iphone, I dont know what I did before it...

10 pan project panned and Jewellery Project!

I cant wait until I am moved into my new house, where I can actually set up a place to take decent photos of things instead of dodge dark ones!  We actually have a really nice camera (not a flash flash one, but a nice one). Today's jewellery is:

These hoops I got from Sportsgirl probably 4/5 years ago. I love them, they are the only hoops I have with dangly attachments and I have got my moneys worth out of them!

Diva flower ring, another plastic cheap one but it does the job!






I have decided to pan the 10 pan project!  I have revamped it and to 'Products finished today' project. I just realised that I had heaps of products that I wanted to purposefully use and I didnt want to limit myself to tracking 'ten pans' or which kind - the samples, the makeup, the skincare etc.  So todays 'Products I finished today' is:

Avon moisturiser PM and AM samples. These were good little moisturisers, but nothing that made me want to buy them. It is kind of hard with moisturiser samples to get a good impression about the product.

Bikinis and oops pretty shoes

I was way to excited about the prospect of Summer and promptly went out an bought two bikinis!  Technically they are four bikinis, because they are reversible.  And considering how much my hubby spent on my Tigerlilly bikinis - these are a bargain!  Cotton On have a fantastic range at the moment, actually most of the cheapo stores like Valleygirl and Dotti have some great cheap bikinis.  These are the ones that I picked up, I had to get a size up because I have a major baby bump - and the tops are a bit of a squeeze but they will do for my backyard pool :-):

I must of been on a shopping high, because after I purchased these I walked around the corner to Novo shoes and impulse bought two shoes (but they were 50% off the second pair).  I have not impulse bought anything for a long long time, so nearly had a heart attack when I actually realised that I had spent $95 on shoes that were not a prearranged/thought out purchase!! 

Luckily I had no buyers remorse, these heels are perfect!  I have been looking for a pair of bootie style heels for over a year, I wanted them in black but they only had the light pink.  Now I am glad they didnt have them in black because I have so many pairs of black heels and these pink ones are so lovely.  The light coloured heel make my legs look longer as well :-).  Also they are super comfy for heels!

These glitter black flats are awesome for work/casual/going out.  I couldnt get a nice pic off the Novo website so had to take this dodgy pic!  w ith the discount these were $25.  I have spotted these shoes in silver and black at Target for $30.  Target are really annoying me at the moment with there massive shoe prices hike!  They are now nearly on par with normal retail shoe stores with their pricing.  So annoying because I am loving their new range as well, but I just refuse to pay those kind of prices.  Hopefully they will still have their random awesome bargain sales where you can get Target shoes on the cheap.

More Erin Louise and another ASOS order

I ordered two more Erin Louise singlets.  The ones that I bought at the Handmade Markets were so pretty, but as they were more glamourous going out singlets, I wanted to pick up a couple of casual ones.  Even though at a cost of $72 (two for $60 plus $12 delivery), this was easily justified as I am moving to a place of all year warmer weather, whiche means I will wear them to death - if I was still in the chilly place I probably wouldnt get the wear worth out of them.  I was pleased as punch to when I went to download the images of them from the order album - and they are no longer being sold! Yay now I have limited edition Erin Louise singlets ;-).  I am still lemming more as they are so pretty pretty, but this will do for now!

This is a light grey singlet with the tiger/flowery strap.  At the Handmade Markets they had this in white in my size, but not in gray - they gray looked alot better. 









This isnt the greatest photo (I live in the darkest apartment - soon to change!).  Its salmon pink singlet with the white frill in the centre.  The quality of Erin Louise's singlets are awesome as well.







If ASOS really is the devil, its a very effective and rewarding one.  I just put in another order as I am staying longer at work now so need some work maternity clothes (will post on other blog about maternity clothing), chucked in a extra pretty dress for after baby cause it was so cheap and pretty!

Asos and arrgh to ordering from dodge websites!

A week after my laptop battery charger died, I still don't have the new charger I ordered. As soon as it died a week ago I jumped on my Iphone googled websites that sold replacement chargers for my laptop and ordered and paid for one. Now, the website is literally called laptop batteries Australia, it said same day shipping and all currency was in aus dollars and postage options were only aus post. On Friday when it hadn't turned up I sent an email, turns out it's a Hong Kong company! So it only left Hong Kong on Sat :-(. The said shipping takes 3-12 days. It is now SEVEN working days after ordering and no laptop charger turned up today :-(.  Frustration doesnt even begin to describe how I am feeling, especially as now I have had time to look at other website I could of got one the next day.

I recieved this pony belt from ASOS:


This belt is a waist belt and I paid $10 for it, it was an impulse buy and I was thinking what the hell did I buy a pony belt for lol.  But its awesome, it will go with a few work outfits plus fits over my baby bump in a Maxi perfectly.  Love love love.  I am yet to be let down by ASOS :-).

The day my laptop died

Was the day my Blogger world died! Sad Face :-(. As previously posted my laptop was on it's way out and I was biding my time waiting for an IPad. Well it died - not how expected though, the battery charger just stop working. So I ordered another one and am praying it comes in the mail tomorrow! This has also impacted on my ability to work on the last assignment that is due, I have an extension till the end of the week - eek! I am currently using my iPhone, which is a little but tiny to blog on but times are tough!

The jewellery project continues, however since I can't add photos using iPhone, they will have to wait until the laptop gets revived. I also will update on more ASOS anoynomous purchases - unlike uploading photos to blogger via iPhone, buying asos on the iPhone is quite easy ;-). And yes I see the irony that I've probably spent my iPad money at Asos and now don't have a computer device!

Jewellery project and Magazines Galore

Today the jewellery project resumed, see items below (I am working on trying to capture better photos!):

Boring items but I actually wasn't feeling accessories today so had to force myself to choose these pieces. Black stud earrings part of a variety pack from diva. I have a tendancy to buy generic earrings like this alot forgetting I already have exact ones at home already!


Pink ring from diva. Told u they were boring choices ;-)



I haven't bought magazines for ages (I get who delivered weekly and glamour and allure delivered monthly. Hubby put extra dollars in my account so I used it wisely - bought magazines!! I got the Instyle I posted about last post. Mimco bag is okay for a freebie- but not happy about sneaky price surcharge! I haven't bought Instyle for years as I borrow it from the library, but I know it's not $9,95 which is what they are charging this issue!! I find that a bit deceptive, they certainly don't advertise the price jump it's written in small writing on the cover. So technically the bag isn't a freebie, it's like $2.


Shop til ya drop - I sporadically buy this mag, it had some good articles this month so I picked it up.

Cosmopolitan - I have had a subscription to this and Cleo for a few years, but because they wouldn't give me the $99.95 bundle I always got I wouldn't renew - over a year Cleo and Cosmo do some awesome freebies that subscribers miss out on.
