The Pretty Things In Life

LV Bag

2008-10-09T18:27:00.001+11:00

I can't decide which one I like more.. I want the epi leather in the cassis (purple) but not too sure..

Swimwear

2008-09-30T18:11:00.005+10:00

Summer is coming up and I haven't bought a new pair of swimwear for years so I've been checking them out online. I've found two that I'm in love with:

Not sure which one to buy. I would get the one on the left in black and the one on the right is just so colourful. Maybe I'll just get both!

New Lover Layby

2008-09-24T00:14:00.001+10:00

I said I wouldn't be buying anything else for summer but I fell in love with the Ritual S/S Pintuck dress when I saw it on ViolentGreens website so I had to layby it.. It's absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to get it

Bits and Pieces

2008-09-17T20:05:00.003+10:00

I've been using Mario Badescu Buttermilk cream for awhile now but have run out and was considering buying some more. Went onto the kit cosmetics site and found a moisturiser that had a description that sounds exactly like my skin. "This velvety moisturising cream is specifically designed for oily skin that is dehydrated". It costs $49 at kit cosmetics but i found it for $35! It's the Korres Youghurt cream.

My cream adelia came in from the joy stores today and it is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to wear it out and MeowMeow have told me that my Lover dress is expected in this week so I'll have to do an outfit post when I get it.

2008-09-16T23:05:00.002+10:00

I found this on someone elses blog and loved it. I think every girl should live by these rules and that every girl deserves nothing less!!!

Marchesa Spring 2009 RTW

2008-09-15T23:27:00.005+10:00

I am in love with the Marchesa Spring 2009 RTW collection. I would just love to own some of the dresses! I've posted some of my favourites!

These 2 are so cute... but they are going to be so expensive...

I could so see these last 3 as my wedding gown except the black one would be cream and not black.

Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim

2008-09-14T14:43:00.003+10:00

Came across these on tpf and just had to post. I would love to own a pair of these. So so gorgeous. Especially the python skin flats. I want to add these to my CL collection

Headbands

2008-09-12T21:58:00.002+10:00

I'm in love with headbands at the moment so have been buying quite a few. In the past week I've bought two bow headbands (cream and black), one cream headband with flowers, and a metal butterfly headband all from Diva and the Alannah Hill Pack of Lies headband in pink.

I'll edit this post tomorrow with some photos hopefully. Been busy doing my report all day so hopefully I'll have more time tomorrow to take some photos!

Camilla and Marc Adelia

2008-09-08T22:45:00.002+10:00

I found a navy Adelia and am now confused because I originally have the cream but really wanted the navy but now I have both on layby. Not sure if I should keep the navy and sell the cream or not. I probably should but I'm in love with the dress. Here's some pics of Jennifer Hawkins wearing the dress in blush:

Lover SS 08/09 Love Bomb

2008-09-07T20:56:00.004+10:00

I've preordered my first Lover piece. Have been in love with Lover for a few seasons but just fell in love with the Disciple Ruffle Dress so can't wait until it is in. It's just absolutely gorgeous!

It's still so cold though. Can't wait to be able to leave the house without needing to wear a coat.

Witchery Layby

2008-09-05T14:51:00.003+10:00

I went to Witchery at my local shopping centre and laybyed a few pieces for Summer. Haven't bought a piece from there for a long time but the new stuff are just so me so I knew I had to get them. The tops will be great with skirts in the summer and some gladiator sandals. I'm in love!

Layby and Camera

2008-09-05T12:29:00.003+10:00

I've just paid off my Woodford and Co Cute Bow Skirt. It's so cute and I can't wait to receive it. Hope it's gorgeous in real life. Here's a pic:Since my camera is dying, I'm looking at getting the Canon IXUS80IS in the pink. Just trying to find the cheapest place to get it!

I have to go to the shops to purchase tickets for the movies tonight but this depressing weather is making me want to stay in bed all day!!

First Attempt at Konad Stamping

2008-09-04T00:41:00.003+10:00

Here's some pictures of my first attempt at Konad stamping. The pictures are a little blurry as I had to use the DSLR and doing it one handed just was not working for me!

I love the bows and can see myself using it alot. I know the bow picture is upside down in the picture but when I flip it the right side up it looks strange!

Wagaya and Shopping

2008-09-02T20:25:00.007+10:00

Went to Wagaya for dinner tonight with the boy and the food was soo yummy. I've added some pics. We ate the Wafu pizza, Sashimi abalone, Chicken Karaage, Scallop fried rice, Japanese Spaghetti with Scallops, Wagyu beef and yummy mocktails.
I've added some pics below (Didn't realise how bad the photos turned out! Must remember to turn off flash next time). We loved the touchscreen and the food come out really fast and service was really good. We'll definitely be back, there's so many things that I wanted to try (there's over 300 things on the menu!!). The boy loved the Waygu dish the most whilst I loved the Wafu pizza. I think I could eat two of them by myself!

The touchscreen:

The boy with our mocktails:
The Waygu Beef

The Wafu Pizza:

I went shopping beforehand and found a shop that sells the konad nail stamper thing that I wanted. I've started playing with it and will take photos of my pretty nails tomorrow! I want to buy the french nail plate so I can have french toe nails!

Nine West Sandals

2008-08-31T21:29:00.001+10:00

I went shopping with the boy at Bondi Junction today. Only managed to buy a pair of sandals from Ninewest but I'm quite happy. My summer wardrobe is coming together nicely. Can't wait for this bad weather to go away and for summer to come so I can wear summer clothes.

I also want to buy a pair of knee high gladiator sandals. I'm not sure if I can pull them off so I'm going to buy a cheapie pair from ebay and test it out!

Here are my new sandals from today. Couldn't find a picture of them in the tan that I bought so here's a picture of them in orange:

Lunch at Est

2008-08-28T20:08:00.002+10:00

I had lunch at Est with my gorgeous sister today thanks to her boyfriend! The food was really yummy. She had the Dory fillet and I had the Duck. Here are some pics of the food and individual shots of us:

Konad Nail Stamper

2008-08-27T22:32:00.003+10:00

Found this through the Vouge Forums and think I should make a purchase. When I was in year 12 and first year uni, I used to love getting the acrylic nails with little flowers or whatever on them. Looking back now, it wasn't healthy for my nails or good for my bank balance. I still like having pretty nails now but mainly just paint it but with this little thing, I can have little designs on it as well. It's so cute!

Now I just have to decide which plates I want. There's so many to choose from but these 2 are my faves:

Swarovski Earrings

2008-08-25T21:22:00.001+10:00

I've just realised that I don't have that many earrings and have found some on the Swarovski site that i like.

Birthday Presents and Summer Purchases

2008-08-25T16:52:00.004+10:00

I have to take photos of my birthday present but my bro and sis got me the LV mono accessories Pochette which will be great as a night bag and when I don't want to carry too much with me and the boy got me a Pandora bracelet which I absolutely love. Can't wait to buy more charms for it.

I've started purchasing summer clothes. It's still freezing but I can't wait for summer to come. I bought the Woodford and Co Cocktail dress in cream pictured below:

I've also laybyed the Camilla and Marc Adelia frock in cream (pictured in blush below):

Love Quotes Scarf

2008-08-14T12:59:00.003+10:00

I've just finished my first report and now have another one to do so during my break I decided to buy a Love Quotes Scarf from Revolve. I got the last one in Cosmopolitan but also want a black and a blue one.

Shopping

2008-08-12T23:04:00.004+10:00

My lecturer was sick today so had a few hours to spare before the tutorial. Went down to Broadway because I wanted to purchase the silk ruffled dress from Forever New but they only had one left and it wasn't my size. So then decided to take a trip to Market City and picked up my layby which are the Tom Ford Whitney sunglasses. They are huge black sunnies but I just love them even if I look strange wearing them.

Went into the Watch Shop to try on my Longines Dolce Vita watch and am now in love with it even more. I can't wait to buy them.

My ebay purchase came in today too. It's a BCBG sequinned dress that I plan to wear for my birthday but it's a little bit too big but still very pretty.

No pictures today as I'm exhausted.

Steve Madden

2008-08-11T20:59:00.009+10:00

I received my Steve Madden Madalynn shoes in the mail today and absolutely love them. They are copies of the Dior Extreme Cut Outs that Carrie wore throughout the Sex and The City movie but I cannot justify the $780US to purchase them at this point in time so I'm happy with the SM copy. I'll take pictures of me in them later on during the week but here they are from the Steve Madden website:
And here are Carrie in the Dior's from the SATC movie:How versatile are they? She even wears it to her wedding!

I'm also thinking about ordering these in tan but because they aren't leather I'm not too sure but I guess because they are so cheap it wouldn't matter
I like the NineWest Heech as well but am a bit unsure of the wedge part of the shoe

I like these by Tony Bianco too..
There's so many choices out there at the moment!

Audrey Kawasaki

2008-08-09T23:13:00.004+10:00

Audrey Kawasaki just does the most gorgeous paintings. When I have my own house I want her prints all over the house so tomorrow I am going to try and buy her first piece. Will go for the unframed version because it will be too expensive to have it shipped here with the frame.I hope I get it...

edit: sadly i missed out but will try again with her next piece!

Longines Dolce Vita

2008-08-08T15:37:00.004+10:00

It's my birthday in 2 weeks and I was planning on saving my money but think I will splurge and buy something nice for myself. Was contemplating the LV Mono Speedy 30 to go with my wallet but I'd rather save the money to buy a Chanel bag but then i found the Longines Dolce Vita and am absolutely in love.

I haven't worn a watch in a long time and I think it may be because there was nothing that I liked enough to be wearing everyday. But this watch is elegant and a classic so even if 5 years time I'll still love it and wear it.
I like this one but think it may have too many diamonds on the side to be a practical piece so think I may get this one instead:I absolutely love the pink MOP face and the diamonds shaped into a heart.

Pandora Bracelet

2008-08-06T23:42:00.005+10:00

I've wanted a Pandora Bracelet for a long time now and was on the site to build it so I decided for today's blog I will post my creations:

This one was $420.

And this one was $538. I can't believe how expensive it gets to fill up the whole bracelet. I've only got 6 charms on each bracelet not including the clips!!!

My Current Lemmings

2008-08-04T22:32:00.013+10:00

My Current Jewellery Lemmings:

Tiffany:

Georg Jensen:
I want this in every colour. They're so cute!!

Cartier:
And my fave piece of all:

Christian Louboutin

2008-08-04T16:16:00.002+10:00

I'm at home with a headache today instead of being at uni and have always wanted to start a blog so here it is.

My first post is of my newest shoe purchases the Christian Louboutin Anemone in red and the Christian Louboutin Declic in nude. I've loved the anemone ever since I first laid eyes on them so when Barneys New York had them on sale for $555 I knew I had to buy them. The nude declics were a more recent want after seeing them on the Purse forum but they were also on sale. I got them from Neiman Marcus through a very nice sales associate.
