Just a quick note

Just to say, I have 120+ bookmarks in my Coveted folder and I plan on culling them tomorrow, watch out for a major blogging fest.

Mmm, sales!

I’ve tried to torture myself this year and promise not to spend any money on new clothes, I have far too many as it is. But i still can’t help surfing Net-A-Porter and picking out my favourite sale items!

One from each category. ( I was spoiling myself, shhhh)

First up, dresses, I LOVE dresses so much, they’re my weak spot. They solve every fashion dilemma and are so easy to make outfits around, no matching colours or prints, plus, your favourite dress can make you feel like the US Bailout. (trillions of dollars if you all didn’t get that economic joke)

I’ve gone for a quite simple dress as my favourite this sale season as it is summer and I don’t care for fancy dresses during the hot months.

T Bags Poppy Belt Dress, usually 128.82 pounds down to 77.29 pounds.

Next, my favourite skirt, these are my second favourite item to wear, they flatter my lower half extensively! I’m undecided between the sequinny, sparkly one(i LOVE sequins) and the bright green ruffled one! In my dreams, I’d get both!

Moschion Cheap (yeah right) and Chic, was 744.94 quid, now a very very cheap 521.46 pounds.

Another Moschino Cheap and Chic, was 324.86, now 243.65.

Tops now, I’m not really a fan of them, I always find they’re cut unflatteringly for my arms or are just too short. But still, I have my favourites!

This one here I think is just perfect.

Matthew Williamson beaded chiffon tank, was 677.72, now 406.63

I’m not a fan of pants either, I think they look so weird in pictures and I’ve just seen too many horror stories to have them in a good light in my head. Saying that though, I found some shorts that I wouldn’t find having!

Vince Cotton twill shorts, was 112.03, now 78.42.

And also, I couldn’t help but throw these in here, they are awesome.

Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti, was 520.89, now 364.62.

I’m gonna be honest here, I ain’t gonna do a favourite pair of jeans, to me, all jeans look the same in pictures, it’s when you try them on that you can truly say whether you like them or not. And I only wear one style of jeans and I can get them for NZ$60 from my closest Jeans West!

Again, I’m not a big fan of knit wear, I prefer my basic generic cardigan from Glassons than some of the fancy schmancy stuff out there. Although, in saying that, I can’t resist a bit of knitwear that disguises itself as something else.

Take this one for example, is it a trench coat? Is it a cardigan? Is it a plane?

Sonia by Sonia Rkyiel, I can’t even be bothered with the price.

But there are some redeeming cardigans on Net-A-Porter that COULD MAYBE POSSIBLY change the way I view knitwear.

Alexander McQueen, was 250.09, now 187.57

McQueen’s at it again, it’s such a simple idea but I’ve never seen it done before! It looks awesome.

I love jackets/coats that make a statement, be it an unusal design or a bright colour/print. Its so much more lively than your basic black coat.

Paul and Joe, was 649.73, now 389.84

Also, I gotta say, this one pulled on my heart strings too, it looks amazing comfy and warm, like wearing your duvet out on the street. It’s like a dream of mine, you wouldn’t have to get out of bed! Just wake up, wrap yourself out and off you go, down to the shops.

It’s by Rick Owens Lillies and it used to be 632.92, but it’s now 316.46, a bargain! (just in case you wanted to make my wishes come true, i’ve also added in the link there!)

Once again, not a fan of bikinis, but I love the print on this one.

D&G, was 162.43(why oh why would you pay that for a swimsuit?! thats a weeks paycheck!!), now 113.70(not much better to be honest)

Not really gonna show off the lingerie I want just in case there’s some creepy people reading this blog, and gonna skip the “activewear” as I think activewear is not really a fashion statement

Fav bag = VBH alligator compact clutch, was 2371.64, now 1185.82.

The jewelry section’s lacking a bit, it all looks a little tacky, but I did fall in like with this darling.

Tom Binns Neon stone cuff, was 553.21, now 387.25

I am a faithful shoe lover, I may window shop a lot, but once I buy a pair of shoes, as long as they are good to me, they will be worn until they fall apart. That being said, here are the shoes I keep coming back to check out, they’re just so damn sexy!

The colour, the colour, the colour!

Marni, was 280.06, now 196.04

The sequins, the sequins, the sequins!

Miu Miu, was 414.47, now 207.24

This belt is kind of amazing.

Emanuel Ungaro, was 1112.07, now 667.24.

And who couldn’t resist a matching set of gloves and a scarf embroidered with Swarovski crystals?

William Sharp, 192.12 and 78.89 pounds respectively.

Well that covers it for my post-christmas shopping, maybe sometime soon I’ll show you what’s on my christmas list which I didn’t get this year so y’all can get saving for next year!

Happy New Year!
