Wishlist

These are all the things I need want need for Christmas. I have a few pairs of Jeffrey Campbell's, but since I am 6 feet tall and hardly ever wear heels I think a flat pair might be a good investment. Also the quilted leather reminds me of a Chanel handbag that I could wear on my feet. And how could that ever be a bad thing?

It's Chanel, so it cant't. 

I also need these sunnies because I live in Australia and it's very sunny here. Justification enough for a $300 purchase? I think so.

And Alice McCall hardly needs to be explained. I mean come on. Look at it. 

I'm going to Melbourne for Christmas so I'm hoping to pick this dress up in the Boxing Day sales. Hoping being the operative word.

And last but not least, a present which is actually affordable and sensible, the Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain collection. There's also another one which is basically lipstick in a texta which is incredible. I bought a couple this week and now I need all of them. Yes, need. The world will collapse inwards and everyone will die horrible burning deaths at the Earth's core if I don't get them. So, definitely justified.

What is on your wishlist this year??

Jacaranda

ASOS dress, Sports Girl sunglasses, Topshop jacket, Lovisa necklace, Rubi shoes

Yes, I am aware that my dress is crinkled. Thanks for noticing. I am in love with this dress (maybe because it reminds me of Thoroughly Modern Millie so much) but after an hour and a half of sitting in a car my amazing skills with an iron were all but forgotten.

Also, I chose to take my photos here because of the Jacaranda trees. I actually (get ready for an extremely unpopular opinion) really dislike Summer. And so Spring, by association (since it means Winter is over), usually gets a pretty bad rap from me. But not even I, hater of beloved seasons, can hate the blooming flowers and Jacaranda trees. I know they drop petals all over our cars and mess up our lawns, but they’re just so pretty. Good job, creator of the universe, good job. I can almost forgive you for the existence of cockroaches, mosquito's and Nicki Minaj when I see a Jacaranda tree.

I also bought this amazing army jacket that I picked up at the new Topshop store in Sydney! My little boycott against the hot weather. Have you guys checked out the store? 4 whole levels of bliss. (Yes, including the men's level, you’re lying if you say you've never bought a men's tee or singlet.) The prices are a bit higher than online, but no postage or wait time by your letter box!

My friend Paigge, from The Indigo Culture, and I went to Alexandria today to check out the My Catwalk sale. If you didn't go you really should get out some ice cream and have a good cry, because Jeffrey Campbell’s were $50 each and I got a gold python Bec & Bridge skirt for $39. You missed out. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE GUYS.

I’ll take pictures of my haul soon!
