shoes

Apparently the studded loafers from betts which I thought was the perfect size gave me blisters, why (T-T)???
I am more of a size 7 1/2, but very little stores sell 1/2 sizes.
I've never bought shoes from ninewest before because I thought it'd be loads more expensive than other places. So, this week I decided to check its website and turns out the pricing is around what a pair of wittner shoes would cost. I wanted to check out both wittner and ninewest shoes but the wittner shop assistant didn't acknowledge me at all, which is weird because why would you ignore a customer when there's an opportunity to sell your products? The shop assistant at nine west was very helpful and turns out they have 1/2 sizes, score! And I also got a 25% discount for signing up their mail list.
So here's what I got.

At first wanted to get this pair but my so called instincts directed me to get the other pair in the end.

For me, gold accessories and dark red lipstick matches best with black and white outfits. It's unfortunate that while my mother favours pastels, I her daughter is the worshipper of the colour black. It is not until recently I became a big fan of white garments. When my parents visited me earlier this year, she got so bored of me wearing whites all the time and kept on complaining. So when I wore a hot pink shirt out to uni one day, she couldn't get the grin out of her face. After all from young I always protested quite aggressively when she tried to shower me with pink clothes. I don't mind bright colours and am quite a big fan of orange, yellow and red. But I ALWAYS get drawn to my black and white clothes whenever I plan an outfit. From now on I shall experiment more on my outfits and try not to stick to the repetitive style.

Attending an information session so went to get some business attire.

Since my shoes are starting to fall apart, I got myself a pair of new kicks from betts.

And my lovely cuffs from Asos finally arrived!

I really hope I can get the research aide position, have to make sure I'm thoroughly prepped up.

what...

Went into lovisa to get a present for one of my best friends. Saw the spend 30 dollars get 10 dollars voucher promotion so decided to get something for myself too. Got a thin torque in a darker shade of silver, wanted to get the gold one but there wasn't any :( (same case with the thick version. Alas!). Also got a jewellery storage bag in a black and white snake print.Maybe I'll give the giftcard to my other friend as a bday present or maybe I can use it myself (the sale assistant insist I should use it myself lol).

want the gold one so bad :(

And when I got back home I ordered the Tommy february6+ Tommy heavenly6 album and the marquee magazine from CDJapan which I have been eyeing for months. She has been  my favourite female singer since I was 14, this is the first time I bought her album since Japanese albums are so expensive. Alas my banksa account won't allow the transaction to go through at first, but luckily I have a hsbc account which was a aha! moment :))!

Then I checked my email and realized there's a special leap year 10% discount on asos items so I decided to get the thin smooth double cuffs in gold. I am glad I didn't get the thicker version last month since this thinner ones are much more to my liking.

I don't expect to have another haul in the near future, have been shopping too much these days. Must have self control! Except for another lovisa trip to use the 10 dollar voucher

shop shop shop!

Just came back from uni after around 2 hours of bus waiting+bus riding which would normally take around 40 minutes. There was a massive traffic jam because of the rain. It has been raining for almost 12 hours, crazy. The dreaded hot weather which I detest has finally came to an end and I welcome the arrival of jackets and tights. But I can't get my hopes high for a consistently cold weather since Australia's weather is famously known for being like a yoyo, it might be like winter today but tomorrow might be like summer.

I have been shopping again ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ. The items I'm about to show are bought in 3 different days.Last Tuesday I went to the unibar with my friend but unfortunately they check IDs nowadays and I didn't have my passport with me, should apply for a proof of age card soon.Then we went to dotti. My friend bought burgundy jeans and I bought this faux leather skirt. I hesitated whether to get it or not but since my friend was so pumped up to buy her jeans, her eagerness encouraged me to get the skirt as well.

Then, this Monday (which was the first day of uni), I went into dotti again and got a white shirt. This one was my favourite out of all the white shirts I browsed in many stores since the material is soft and the cutting was perfect for me. There was a 10 dollars discount, but to my dismay when I went into dotti again today, this shirt was on a 20 dollars discount, my heart ached over the wasted 10 dollars. Back in Malaysia, if a store was going to have a sale in few days time, the shop assistant would let us know and tell us to come back during the sale to get what we want, but sadly Australian sale assistants can't do that （ｉДｉ） *me cries.

I also went into target and spotted this pair of burgundy chino's. I went to try it on and presto! it fits perfectly on me! As a heavy bottomed person, I rarely look good in pants but this one does the trick. The pants are actually more red than what is shown in this picture.

This afternoon, le greedy me went into factorie. I wandered in the store for quite some time. I wanted to buy a dress but they don't have it in my size so I was quite depressed temporarily ⊙︿⊙. And then I spotted the lace sweaters and oh my god, they are so pretty and so soft ⊙０⊙! There were so many colours but I know I have a habit of buying the same item in few colours so I only allowed myself to go try on the purple one and the red one. I had trouble with the sizing because the sweater looks small but actually it isn't. So I went from XL to M to S until I eventually settled on an XS. Both the purple and red were beautiful, though purple was safer than red. My head wanted to say maybe I should go with the purple since it's a safer colour then I was like fuck it, red is awesome and I've never had a red sweater since I was 10.

The material reminds me a little bit of the Lover serpent dress. My favourite blogger from tumblr  http://aminuteawayfromsnowing.tumblr.com/ wore this Lover piece in one of her outfit posts and it looked absolutely devine on her.

When I went grocery shopping I also managed to buy Maybelline's babylips lip balm in berry flavour mainly because the design is so cute. The price is 3.99 which is an ok price for a lip balm. It works well on my lips, I used some lip balms in the past which were quite pricy yet still give me clumps. Mine's the third one with the pink cap.

I wore my dotti skirt and shirt to uni yesterday.

Spent around 4 hours looking for a decent white shirt. Finally found one at French Connection, my friend almost killed me though :P. This is shirt is 24 dollars down from 130 dollars, greeeaaaat bargain. I really like the  shirt's material and the lace layering.

Also got a ring from sportsgirl.
