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.

Happy 100 To Meeeee!

Yay I have reached 100 blog posts! I can't believe I have actually lasted this long! I am approaching my one year anniversary too. So lucky to have such lovely readers that read my little old blog and leave comments. I plan on blogging for a lot longer so I hope you'll stick with me!!

A few outfits from the last few days.

Top: Kmart, Skirt: Temt, Necklace: Kmart

Dress: Valley Girl, Necklace: Equip

 Top: Kmart, Skirt: Country Road, Sandals: Pulp

Polka Dot Shirt: Cotton On

Star Print Sweater: Big W

Print Pants: Cotton On

Grey Jeans: Kmart

Mint Jeans: Witchery

 

A few bargain buys for Winter. Used my Witchery rewards for the mint coloured jeans! Found the  star print sweater in the teenage girls section of Big W! There is a few cute things in the womens section which I have laybyed along with some Winter stuff for the boys. Can't wait to get it out so I can share with all of you!

I See Red

These red jeans were $15 from Kmart and I LOVE them! The quality is the same as my white ones from Country Road. I'm very tempted to get some more but I'm not loving any of the other colours at the moment. Hopefully they'll bring out some prettier colours for Winter!

 Top: Cotton On, Jeans: Kmart, Sandals: Witchery

Cheap

I accidentally wore Kmart head to toe today whoops! The skirt is actually a dark blue denim skirt but my iphone refused to pick up the blue and it looks black :-/

Shirt: Kmart, Skirt: Kmart, Wedges: Kmart

I bought these wedges recently for $5! The full price was only $19, but $5 is crazy cheap!

Shellac Romantique

I tried shellac for the first time last night, so far I like it but I don't think the colour suits my skin tone.

Wore my hair out today for the first time in ages. My little one likes to grab fistfuls so it's usually easier to wear it in a high bun. Even used my curling iron that was gathering dust.

 

 

Dress: Witchery, Sandals: Witchery, Bracelet: Sportsgirl

 

 

Dress is another Witchery bargain, only $29.95!



Kaftan Love

I love kaftans. But the pretty ones are so expensive! Managed to get these 2 yesterday from Witchery for $95 combined less my $10 reward, so came down to $85. Love that they can be worn over swimmers or as a dress with a slip underneath.

The second one would look lovely with these sandals that are on sale so I might go back to get them!

I also realised that I never actually showed any pictures of my outdoor setting after we had it all set up. We ended up getting one bench seat as I love that the ends of the table fold down and we can move the bench seat around the deck for extra seating. We took the other cushions back as they were way too small, I didn't think this combination would work but I love love love it! So happy with the whole setting. I keep changing around all the bits and pieces on the table top but this is what's on it at the moment. Will take some better pictures when it's a sunny day!

 

 

 

 

 





Cushions and Toast

Just bought a couple of little things yesterday. Was so glad we decided to go to the shops as the temperature hit 46 degrees! Was still 44 degrees at 5pm.

I've probably mentioned here before how much I hate paying full price for anything, especially from Country Road and Witchery. But this skirt caught my eye and it just drapes so nicely, I'm sure on a cost per wear basis I will get my money's worth!

 

 

Of course buying a new rug meant buying new cushions too!

 

 

 

 

I've heard good reviews on the Target dry shampoo. At $2 a can it's a bargain - with 30% off totalling $1.40, it's be crazy to not get 2 cans right? They also had dry conditioner that is supposed to add shine, so I got one of those to try too.

 



 

My baby boy had his first vegemite soldiers this morning, almost polished them off!

 

So glad for the cool change today, I have so much tidying and washing to do. These 2 boys are like cyclones!



Leather Leggings

Just a quick post today! Popped into Witchery as there are further markdowns. I have wanted these leggings since they first came out in Winter. Managed to grab them for $59.95. The original price was $189.95!!

Mouse Flats!

I was alerted to the fact that My Wardrobe had the infamous Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats in Leopard Patent on sale and there was an extra 20% off sale items! A quick click and they were on their way to me! Shipping was super fast and they arrived this morning!

 

 

 

 

Called into Kmart for a little looksie, they have some pretty floral pants for only $19! I didn't buy them as I'm trying to not buy as much clothing wise but if I'm still thinking about them in a few days I might go back for them! They had these 'That's Not My' books 3 for $15, that is a really good price, RRP is around $15 each usually! I got these 3 for my boys

 



 

 

And finally here is my outfit for today.

 



Top: Cotton On, Jeans: Forever New, Bracelet: Sportsgirl, Earrings: Diva

A Few Boxing Day Bargains

Haven't really checked out the sales much but I did manage to pick up a couple of things.

Country Road Coated Jegging in Blue

 Country Road Sateen 3/4 Pant in Vivid Pink

I firstly would like to say how ridiculous is Country Road sizing?! I had to go down two sizes in the jeggings and one size in the pants. But I LOVE the jeggings! Planning on getting the black a bit closer to Winter.

Cute jeggings for my son. The orange will be controversial I'm sure (too girly?) but I think they're awesome!

I love Smiggle, Kikki K, Typo etc but they can be expensive. I found this in Kmart for $2 - full price!

I hope to get a little more time to have a look at the sales before everything is gone!

Crazy Time!

These days most retailers start their Boxing Day sales before Christmas. I think it's a good idea because the  madness that is caused by people flooding the shops the day after Christmas is crazy! Forever New currently has 50% off the marked down price of their sale stock. I was after a dress to wear on Christmas Day and I found one! Down to $35.00 from $80.00.

 

Also grabbed these. Dress was $30.00, jeans were $20.00.

Sportsgirl also has new sale stock so I got this skirt that I almost bought a while back for $39.95.

Hopefully have some outfit posts coming up starring these new purchases!

Holiday Shopping

So this deserves a post of it's own naturally. Even on holidays I love searching for bargains! My main source this time was DFO in Canberra. Kids clothes I especially don't spend much on as they grow out of them so fast. Luckily I have 2 boys so some things will get passed down.

Love that Cotton On Kids had an extra 30% off storewide so some of these things were ridiculously cheap! I think in total over 2 trips I spent about $110. That included jeans, belts, drink  bottles, pj's and tees.

I spotted these jeans in the Rusty store for $25.00 a pair - I almost bought them this Winter for $109.00!

I ducked into Dotti in Bega and managed to score this skirt for $5.00 and rings bracelets for $1.00 and $2.00!

Another Catriona Rowntree for Target Romper.

And a few emergency changes from Big W.

The shops at home are crazy now. Luckily we got most of our Christmas shopping done today in one go!

Leapin' Leopards!

The skirt and top in this outfit cost $13 combined. Yes you read that correctly, $13!

Top: Temt, Skirt: Kmart, Sandals: Rip Curl

And unfortunately it shows :( the skirt was uncomfortable and wouldn't sit properly and the top kept riding up. Super annoying!!

Bought a few Christmas presents today but couldn't help grabbing this for my youngest.

Catriona Rowntree for Target - Overall Set

Usually I don't like this kind of thing, especially for boys, but there was just something about it that I found mega cute! I've since had a look at the range online and I think I might pop back in tomorrow and grab a few more things before they sell out!
