Finally! Jimmy Choo Glenys Inspired TB Heels.

Well, ever since the Jimmy Choo Glenys came out I have had a major lemming for them. However, could not afford to doll out $1,000+ for a pair of the beauties, and was quite hesitant about spending less on "replicas" (i.e. fake Jimmy Choos).




I have just bought this 'inspired' pair off eBay - they are Tony Bianco, which I feel much more comfortable with buying rather than a fake pair. I paid $56.00. They are very similar, however there is no platform heel, and the heel is a bit thicker on the TB pair. Can't wait to get them!

Has Country Road Expanded Their Sizing???

Well got a $30 voucher in the mail for making it to the next level of spending with CR Rewards (most thanks go to b/f who bought up big there recently on suits/pea coats/bags/gloves for work)

Took said b/f into the store, fully expecting he would be the one spending the $30 voucher as most CR clothes swim on me (I am a petite size 6) so I usually don't even go to the effort of looking.

Surprisingly enough, I found two staple CR merino wool cardigans, both in XXS. I have never seen a CR cardigan go below an XS, so of course I tried them on. They fit perfectly, I even would have found it tight to button them up, but all I wanted was for them to be worn open. I also found a CR stripey dress in size XXS too! This was meant to be an oversized fit, so it wasn't skin tight on me, but not bad for CR sizing I must admit. **Will add photos of said clothing at a later date!

The cardigans had $30 off them as an in-store promotion on knitwear, so I got them for $70 each (usually $100 each). The dress was $80 at regular price, but I just had to have it. I know these may not be *bargain* buys, but they are good investments for basic quality pieces that will hopefully last a few seasons.

I am completely (and pleasantly!) surprised that CR is adding more XXS sizing to its styles. Is this something new that anyone else has noticed, or have I just been oblivious to this all along?

Hey, I put some new shoes on...

...and suddenly everything's right! Love Paolo Nutini. Anyway, bought these off eBay, but they are yet to arrive. They are Isabella Brown, in the style Lovette. Not particularly expensive, they retail for $40-$50, I picked mine up new in box for $8.00 + $10.00 postage off eBay.



I don't have any shoes like this at all, so I thought why not. They have an in-built platform, and the heel measures 11cm (WHOA - sounds like a lot for tiny 5'1 me!).

Another impulse buy, probably will never wear them *sigh*. You know its not going to be a good outcome when you're already regretting a purchase before you've even gotten it! I so need to go on a spending ban.

Maurie & Eve on threadpeople.com.au

Ooh sneaky. There is a Maurie & Eve Sample Sale running RIGHT NOW at threadpeople.com.au. However, instead of being advertised like their usual sales, this is being called a secret sample sale! Anyway to get to it, click on the sales calendar link, and then from there you will see under today's date 14th July, that there is text that says Maurie & Eve Sample Sale. Just click on this text and you will be taken to the sale.

I honestly don't see anything there that wasn't here when they ran their proper Maurie & Eve sale a few weeks back... maybe prices have dropped??? Not sure what the difference is, but if you missed out the first time, well enjoy!

Aurelio Costarella Flounce Dress for $99.00!

This morning I managed to pick up the black silk Aurelio Costarella Flounce Dress. This is from 2008 season, so a few years old. But, considering the RRP was over $800, and I got it for $99, I'm certainly not complaining.

I got this magnificent bargain off http://www.buyinvite.com.au
-The site is free to join.

Last time I checked (about 9:30am), there was one left in a size 10.
At 6:00am there were:
-Two size 6's (of which I bought one!)
-One size 8
-Four size 10's
-One size 12

So as you can see, they didn't last long at all!

I like the styling of the runway model, with a silk belt around the waist to give shape. Think I will DIY one of those for myself. Being a black dress, it shouldn't be too hard to track down some similar material and make one up!

Authentic Sass and Bide Rats for $50.00?! Definite Bargain!

Thought I would share quite the bargains I got last week from the general pants instore sale - buy one, get one free on all sale items. We were in Melbourne visiting for a few days, excellent timing for this sale

First stop was GP in Melbourne Central, where I scored a pair of Sass & Bide Black Rats (on sale for $100, and also the last pair in store in size S/M), and a pair of Levi extreme skinny black jeans (on sale for $100, last pair in my size 6!). Due to the offer, it meant I got both items for $100, so basically $50 each!

*NB: My Levi jeans are this same style, but without the rips.

In addition, we then found ourselves at GP in Eastland a few days later, and I scored this pair of Neon Hart Shiny Zip Leggings. On sale for $40, I got it for half price as my b/f found some t-shirts to balance it out for the special offer!

-Not sure if the sale is still going on in-stores or not, but what a bargain! I guess I am all set for black pants/jeans for this winter!
