Spoil Me Sunday

So i know Sunday was Fathers Day and Happy Fathers Day to all the gorgeous dads out there but it was also "Spoil Me Sunday" which is just about enjoying being girlie and taking advantage of all the great sales out there in shopland at the moment. For all my new friends who are just getting to know me, one thing you have probably picked up on already is that i am a huge huge bargain shopper. I don't know if it's my ethnic upbringing but i just love finding that elusive sale item and then bragging about it later at family dinners! When i find a great bargain be it clothing, shoes, bags, makeup what have you, the rush i feel is enormous (hello, addictville) and i am not afraid to rummage for buried bargain treasures um, usually embarrassing myself in the process cause i look like some crazy cat lady with dilated pupils, hands and arms flying everywhere, rambling to myself and scaring fellow shoppers away in the process. So I have a few great buys i have to share with you, feel free to grab a coffee (or tea for the tea drinkers) and lets get our groove on! (sorry for that comment, i can be such a dork sometimes hehehe).

So the first stop for me on sunday was just a local market where i snapped up a cutesy leopard print dress and skirt for spring/summer. So cutes and both items all up only cost me $5!!! Big spender. But i really loved the material of both items. Very silky and soft and definitely light and airy as the summers here can be brutal. Don't be fooled by the dodgy pic of the skirt it actually looks really nice in real life. I am a major leopard print fan, i would decorate my entire house just in leopard print and hot pink if the hubster would let me! But the key to leopard print is to accessorise well and don't over do the print otherwise the outfit can come off looking, well kind of trashy and not in a good way, but i don't think trashy is ever a good thing really unless your a stripper. :D
I am going to pair the dress with cute nude heals and the skirt with some new season wedges and a white or black tank and a brown plait belt. Cutes!

Some other gorgeous items i snagged were from Trade Secret. They are having a huge sale on clothes and jewellery right now. I got 2 pairs of gold and pink earrings for $2 each and a pretty blue jewelled butterfly ring for $5.95. (I am going to get a better camera soon so in future posts my pics will be better and show how cute these items are.) I also found a gold necklace as i am loving the gold look right now. In the belt section i snapped up a bargain. This brown elastic belt was on sale for $2 from $9.95! Yey! I have been looking for a belt like this for ages.

And lastly from Trade Secret i had to buy this adorable shimmery glomesh bag. I bought it to put my extra makeup brushes in. You can't really tell from the pic but the glomesh material looks like a mermaids tail. It is pearl white coloured with flecks of pink, purple, green, just gorgeous. Needless to say i will be taking it to my makeup jobs with me.

Recently i have started collecting Japanese dolls. I think they are called Kokeshi dolls? But they are cute Japanese round dollies. I have an obsession for oriental gorgeous things. I found a new pink doll for my collection at a local discount store and also picked up a new tiny makeup mirror compact for my handbag. And it also has cupcakes all over it, which you guessed it is another obsession of mine. I think cupcakes are the cutest and my oversized bedonky butt can vouch for that! But all up these 2 items cost $7.

I have finally come to my last items that i bought on Sunday. Myself and the husband were doing some groceries at Woolworths and my first stop at Woolies is always the makeup department, even as small and sad as it maybe at our local wollies, but anyway what do i find this week? They are now stocking the NYC Color nail polishes. I love this brand of polish as for my sensitive nose it doesn't have that sickly formaldihide (sorry bout the spelling) chemically stench that some cheap polishes have and it is only $2! They also have a huge range of colours and they last on your nails for more than a day. i have been wearing one of the new NYC colours i bought and it hasn't chipped yet and i painted my nails on Sunday afternoon. Usually the cheap brands chip on me after a day of wear and tear. But NYC is pretty good if your after some extra colours for your nail kit at a nice price. The 2 colours i bought are Pretty Pink which is a girlie Barbie pink and Lolly Pop which is a shimmery light purple with flecks of glitter. So cute. Sorry again that my camera is crap but i will upgrade soon.
