trouble

I mentioned in my last post my tendency to splurge come exam/assignment time. Here's the damage...


Kini Bikini Miami Knit in Black


Can you believe it took me almost an hour to make this purchase — twenty or so of those minutes spent discussing colours with the boy!? At various stages I had all three of the different coloured versions in my cart. Curse the no try on facilities of online shopping! I've always been horrible at visualising. Add in the fact I can't go wrong with black, white or red...

Red was the boy's pick. You know he's something special when he signs online after he gets your text asking his opinion which colour bikini to get. Unfortunately, whilst appearing red on the website (or at least on the boy's and mine), it said 'coral' in the listing, and after researching that coral and red did exist in the available designs (in general, not in the particular site's available stock), we decided not to take the risk.

Wow, two rather large paragraphs on choosing swimwear colour. What has become of me?

Keeping with the girly feel I present:




Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura


I have a major soft spot for cats. They bring the cutness factor for me! This range is also inspired by Le Petit Prince, which also has a special place in my heart so it's only natural that I lust! Whilst the above highlighter pact is my favourite, I'd have a more practical use for the below palette being shades I'd use all the time, although it looks a little shimmery for my liking...? Oh well, it's not like it's in my price range anyway at $69 and $130 a pop respectively.

Mid sems are over, as of yesterday, but I decided on an early celebration splurging on these babies on Thursday.






I really need to work on my photo aesthetic skills...


Most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought, but I've been lusting over these for almost a month now, and have been wanting shoes like these for the past few months. I've figured at age 20 it's time to master the art of wearing high heels, and as these are wedges this is a nice way to start. The SA was telling me how comfortable they are, and after trying them on I heartily concurred, however after yesterday's effort my inexperienced feet were doing a little disagreeing... No real complains though as the boy agrees that these look hot and I can't evolve from a baby giraffe in just one day.

A lot has happened lately, well not really a lot, but things that have me making mental notes to blog about like the incredible dust storm on Tuesday — I wish I'd taken photos(!) — and, well, okay, not really that much. Just expect more frequent updates from me!

Things on the agenda: Compile budget; make concrete plans for next week; accounting MYOB assign; finance assign; find usb(!!); email re: uni; email re: Friday; clean room (?) (!!) (D:)
