lidty: shopping

Showing posts with label shopping. Show all posts

Yay!
I've come to terms with the fact that there's no way I can blog like I did before.

So here's an update.
I was getting a backpack for America and ended up spending over $100 on iconic because of a coupon code. Dangit!

last post for the week
went shopping with mum for fabric today
didn't end up getting the fabric, but came home with these boots :)
yay, for winter footwear~

this year's birthday present to myself:
32gb iPad in white, wifi only
currently, nameless.

(with the birthday present joyce and anna kindly gave me :P)

today was possibly the most satisfying shopping experience i've ever had (possibly...)
because i had a list of about 6 things i wanted to buy, and managed to cross out5
and they were quite specific things as well
*pat on the back

i think mum has been missing me a little bit so she got really excited about our shopping date today
and didn't complain about all the walking we did. <3

got some cropped trousers from zara

i have this feeling that they're meant to be 3/4s or at least 7/8s but for my ass:height ratio, they seriously JUST fit.

they were the only skinny leg pants i could find in store, it was crazy. everyone was acting like it was boxing day.

(i jumped in this picture, but you can't tell)

two dresses from paper scissors

the navy one is pretty much almost exactly what i had in mind in my wardrobe essentials post so i'm really happy about it: go me!

also got a beige sweater from cotton on (with my 30% off voucher)

and a nude slip from myer (with my $20 gift card)

once i buy some shoes,

i'll be sated for another 3 months.

donna.

yay, my ~comme des garcons wallet finally arrived!

if you remember, it was on my wardrobe wishlist from awhile back...

obviously it's not the plain red one i really wanted but since that one was limited edition and i couldn't find it anywhere, i ended up just purchasing this one

i'm a little sad because it's not the soft leather i thought it was going to be, but it's still pretty cute and hopefully it can last longer than my last one xD

also, i made cherry get me a bun.

it smells like a bun.

donna.

since my last entry...

spring arrived

went to night noodle markets with wynnie and we left after a quick stroll around cos we're soft. i can't believe how many people line up for food they can get at existing restaurants. weird. we ended up at takeru, and it was the most random thing cos wyn had just called me to be like, what you doing? love spontaneous dinners.
received my credit card bills and cried. seriously need to cut down spending...next year xD
went to orto trading company and had an amazeballs dinner with my loves. too lazy to recount but the food was good. and then after that, we went to galaxy world and me and cherry owned ddr. by owned, i mean...didn't fail. after that, we went to azuma's for sugarhit and it was just okay...

the next night, we had dinner at takeru before sugarhit at glass brassiere. this one was GOOD.
started training for new zealand. get fit hey!
had an exam and finally had the epiphany that exams don't matter. for real, bro...
after the exam, me and jenny frolicked over to pitt st mall to get names on coke cans. i got lizhiheng lol. and then we walked all the way to the rocks for a super super early dinner at pancakes. (but not before we procured some macarons from la renaissence)

yesterday, we went to uni. and studied. before dinner at ayam goreng. we've been eating so much. ended up leaving at like...11:30pm? oh yeah, and we finally booked all NZ accommodation. never left travelling bookings until so late but living on the wild side this year~
today, i dated myself. went shopping and bought the striped top from espirit i've been lusting after. then went and got a creme brulee from gloria jeans (which is no eggin' $5.90 or something ridic). then froliced over to the cinemas to take advantage of my cinebuzz points and watched midnight in paris. and mygosh, have been fantasising about returning to paris ever since. i think it's the first time i've watched a movie that has made me smile without realising. what a weird but wonderful experience. such a pretty movie, and has now made me want to go read me some great gatsby and ernest hemingway. bookdepository, here i come!

finally, just dyed my hair. cut it earlier in the week. the below pictures are before the cut and dye...fingers crossed it'll all come out one shade, but you never know with hairstyling (home edition). will take pictures...sometime xD

so long medusa hair~

hectic roots, prior to dying...

BACKWARDS BLOGGING TAKES HOURS OUT OF MY LIFE
SHOULD REALLY NOT BE LAZY AND JUST BLOG AS I GO
I've scheduled four more blog posts this week, covering events that happened...2 weeks ago (lol)
Don't say September wasn't exciting...

Anyway, this is a lazy entry about the past week

Monday: went out with Janice and Michelle after uni. Went to the japanese place next to Azumas on George St. Then we went to Azumas for dessert (chiffon cake and green tea latte) and stayed there until the doors closed like complete rebels.

Tuesday: I dressed like Janice Liew. Or so Twitter tells me.

Wednesday: Went to Little Snail in the morning and got drunk before teatime (will have separate entry later this week). Then went to uni to play Creationary before leaving at 6 to go to Mizuya with jin family and church people. Food was okay, but singing was not enough.

Thursday: MY LITTLE BRO GRADUATED AND THEN I DROVE HIM TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE FOR PRE-FORMAL FUN AND I FELT LIKE AN AMERICAN MOM.

Awwwww... look at my little little bro tying a tie for that tall black kid

now consider how tall my brother is compared to the tall black kid (and all surrounding kids) and then compare how tall i am relative to my brother. and i was pretty much hanging around 17 year old giants for the better part of an hour.

it was fun.

Friday: Finished stats assignment early, at...4? That's half an hour early! Then we played Creationary with MT before Michelle, Janice and I went to Macchiato's for food and a girly chat. Went there for peking duck pizza WHICH WAS NOT THERE. Ended up with some weird seafood pizza that had a ton of rocket on it. Also had lamb pasta which was pretty good and the richest fondant on the face of the earth which was not what we ordered. Love hanging with those two, always.

Saturday: bum. bum. bummed (i.e. postponed brunch with anita) until 5 when i drove down to burwood to pick up twin. Then Cherry came and picked us up at burwood. We ended up late for Ang's surprise party at Churrascaria. Meaning, when we got there, there were 20 odd people we didn't know, sitting around Ang. So we walked past and were all "OH! DIDN'T EXPECT YOU HERE!" Lol EPIC!FAIL. Then events occurred that once again reinforced the fact that i will be 4EVAH ALONE. Thanks life~

Sunday: It rained. And then I went shopping with mum for hours and hours. And then I came home and jumped in puddles before i blogged for hours and hours.

$10 rainbow boardies from KMART. (*fingers crossed for Saturday)

$8 tiered cami from KMART.

30% off storewide sale at COTTONON. Got a blue plaid shirt in flimsy summery fabric and a pair of beige shorts for under $35 (?)

look at me ticking things off my wardrobe essentials list! got this cropped navy boyfriend blazer from DOTTI. it cost me $40 but i knew if i didn't get it i'd cry in my sleep (no.)

went to the argyle for an ex-workmate's engagement party last night
(that place is SO. PRETTY.)
met up with little cousin beforehand for korean and we were both running late so i got to cafe cya before her and ordered. sat there by myself eating like i'd been stood up for a good 20 minutes xD
then we taxied it to the rocks because jess and her friend were wearing intense heels. hahahha

got to argyle and we were like where's the engagement party?
and then we looked on our right and there were all these asians and it was like, oh here it is!
started off pretty weird, maybe because i haven't been around...normal people for awhile
and i forget how nerdy/geeky i can be, so i had to spend a good hour or so assimilating back into normal life
the drinks were super pretty, kind of pricey ($18), and pretty sweet.
so so so awesome to catchup with the people from work <3 miss them so much.
went up to the second floor to cough-dance-cough a bit, went to a unisex bathroom...and couldn't figure out how to work the tap (it had a sensor in the ceiling -.-)
ended up being a pretty awesome night
i'd really like to go back there some day.

got offered a lift home, but then kina had to pick up her boyfriend from the cross and drop him off at liverpool so i didn't end up getting home until like..2am
it was the most hilarious thing cos he looks like a european model, talks like he's from bankstown and is a rta auditor
lovely memories of the four of us in kina's car, singing adele at 1:30am in the morning.

they gave out macaroons as favours (super cute)

got a new purse from portmans for nights out (because i have so many of those...lol)

finally made use of the oroton coin purse twin gave me

and yay! i finished my friendship bracelet

today we went to parklea markets, my mum and i

and we caught up with so many aunties who still work there

and there was so much talk about where everyone's children are these days, so many lawyers and accountants with their first investment properties, etc etc etc

and it made me so uncomfortable inside

because i don't want to buy a house right now, i don't want to be super rich, i don't want those things to be important

eck.

greed makes people so ugly.

donna.

first of all, ohmygosh long time no post

so long, in fact, that blogger has changed its interface and now i'm all confused xD

but anyway...

recent bout of shopping lead to the purchase of a couple of items:

maybelline colour sensational lipstick in coral crush and peachy scene

got these from priceline at buy 1 get 1 free

i'm so obsessed with coral lipstick at the moment, no thanks to j.crew

and then i've been going on and on about wanting a water bottle

and some awesome person who shall remain nameless sponsered me one *wink

finally, went shopping with mum the other weekend and stocked up on singlets and cardigans from cotton on in preparation for spring (which i'm super excited for, by the way)
