Kmart

I feel like every outfit post of late has included at least one item from Kmart. I just can't help it, the prices are so good! And you can't not love the new tv ads, BOM BOM BOM!! Seriously they should be sponsoring me haha! I kid I kid.

My purchases from today! The flannelette sheets feel ok quality but most of all I love the pattern and I love how the fitted sheet and top sheet pattern is inverted. I have been looking for a white stapler and hole punch for ages to match the rest of my desk accessories, so happy to find them in Kmart. The kids socks are $4 for 4 pairs, I have bought them for the boys in other colours before and they wear well.

I had a long overdue cut and colour a few days ago.

I had a few more outfits this week that I forgot to take photos of, which is something I never do. The first one I was in a hurry to get out of the house so totally forgot. Stopped at a cafe for morning tea and M spilt hubbies coffee all down the front of me. Luckily it wasn't hot enough to burn me or him, but my clothes were a mess. We were on our way to a party so I had to do a quick shop for a new outfit (love that excuse) and ended up getting something quite cute. I meant to take a photo when we got home and promptly forgot again. The mirror has now been moved out of the bathroom so I'm not sure how I will manage outfit photos anymore, will have to sort something out.
A new haircut requires maintenance. So far this is living up to the hype.
 
Saw a $5 sign out the front of Cotton On so made a beeline for the jeans.


Have been wanting the polka dot ones since they came out a few months ago. Very happy with this $20 purchase.

Easter 2013

Stuck in bed with a virus yuk! My husband had to take the day off work to look after the boys. Tried to get some icey poles to make me feel better, Woolies totally sold out of anything remotely similar. Had to settle for this Lifesavers thingy.

Happy Easter everyone! Hopefully I'll be feeling better by tomorrow morning, I want my fill of hot cross buns before they disappear for another year.

I think half my problem is that it takes me so long to do a blog post. I have slow internet connection so it takes forever to upload photos, and that's when I can even upload at all. If anyone has any suggestions for a blogging app for iphone please let me know!

Easter Parade

My poor son will have to wear this monstrosity that I whipped up for his day care Easter parade next week. Hopefully next years effort will be a huge improvement.

One Dimension

The blog has become a bit one dimensional. I do apologise but unfortunately there is going to be more of the same. I'm really enjoying fashion and shopping at the moment and I love using the blog as a diary of sorts, flicking back through to see what works and what doesn't.

Kmart Polka Dot Tee
Sportsgirl Neon Jacquard Skirt
 Target Heels

Witchery Stripe Ruched Dress
Lovisa Assorted Bangles

Kmart Tank
Witchery Neoprene Pleat Skirt in Rasberry
Pulp Black Stud Sandals
Kmart Heart Necklace

I have been eyeing off this Country Road trench coat for quite some time. It feels so nice and heavy weight unlike other trenches, I can imagine it being quite warm for Winter. A little out of my price range but cardholders 20% off one day only made the deal a little sweeter.

 Country Road Trench Coat

I had to take a few things back to Witchery because their sizing is so off. The long sleeve stripe sweat that I posted about earlier was so big even in an XS that I couldn't wear it. So back it went. I also needed a reason to buy some leather leggings. An exchange made it a little easier. The dress is so pretty but I ummed and ahhed over it as the weather is due to cool down a fair bit but I do have a few events coming up, hopefully the nice sunny days hang around for a little longer.

Witchery Sunray Pleat Racer Dress in Sherbet

This bedding set has been near impossible to find, the Real Living Dotty set released in Target stores nationally. It never even made the shelves at any store close to me and was supposed to be available online. It was on the front cover of Real Living magazine. It frustrates me to no end when something is promoted and then unavailable. Target is guilty of this with almost every catalogue they release. Due to go on sale for 2 weeks from Thursday, sold out on the website by 9am Thursday morning and remains sold out for the duration of the sale. Is this a marketing ploy or are they really that unorganised to make sure there is enough stock to handle a sale? I have been on the waiting list for this bedding set for over a month with barely an email to let me know what's happening, when I happened to spot (excuse the pun) a lonely set on the shelf at my local store. That is how I finally got my mitts on this coveted set.

Now I just need the European pillow cases....

Shoes & Shopping

I think the quality of Tony Bianco shoes is pretty good, but the price of them has really jumped in the last few years. Their sale prices are usually excellent so I try to hold out!

Finally got around to spending my birthday vouchers!



 Country Road Coated Jegging in Olive

I found it extremely hard to narrow down my choices! So I made a bit of a wishlist at the same time.

Country Road Waffle Knit Scarf in Cream
