Super

If you follow my twitter you may have noticed this tweet. It was in reference to how often it is I'm trying to hunt down things from collections released years ago (in before you're so materialistic). Right now I'm trying to find watermelon vans from 2009 - yeah I'm a little slow but to my defence I only found out about them when I was going through Xiu Xiu's facebook photos and saw Jamie Stewart wearing them.

Today my Super Lucia's came after so long um-ing and ah-ing in front of my laptop screen. Originally I had bought them off the retrosuperfuture website but two days later they sent me an email saying they had miscalculated their warehouse stock and they had none left. Way to crush my dreams retrosuperfuture. As they were from the fw10 collection I kind of had a difficult time tracking them down. Enough of me recounting my struggle to keep up with everything in my life, I'll show you my new babies.









It seems that I'm only posting stuff I buy but honestly, there is absolutely nothing that I'm doing with my life and the most exciting moments are when I receive new things. #sadlife.

maaaah-kneeee

Yes... that is a bit of nail polish left on my left toe. Don't judge.

The bargain hunter I am scored these at 85% off from the Outnet. Without a platform, the incline on these heels is kind of ridiculous. The happiness which accompanied the arrival of these shoes was short lived because I read through my subject outlines and realised that I am no where near finishing what I need to hand in next week.

If only all my breakfasts were like this.

Hi.

purchases/round up

There isn't much to distinguish between shopping and happiness in my opinion. If my wallet and suitcase had allowed it, I would've bought much, much more (and hired a porter). This post is just what I bought in Europe and what I've acquired recently. I apologise for the different photographic styles, I took some photos last week and only got around to photographing the rest today.


This is a Glow Brick I bought at the Tate Modern for my brother (I came back two days before his birthday).


Boots is cool. I've heard raving reviews for both Collection 2000 products.


Clothes. The sequinned top is from COS, the shirts below it are from Uniqlo. On the other side, the jeans are from Uniqlo, the knitted dress is from H&M and the black dress (you can't tell) is from Uniqlo as well. What is a Uniqlo and what is love?


Grosgrain ribbon! I LOVE THIS STUFF. I couldn't find a navy (I think they ran out) but I filled that void in my heart with a slate grey one.


The Body Shop in Amsterdam were doing some promotion, €20 for two body butters. Couldn't resist (plus I have really dry skin) and considering that they're hideously overpriced here - $27.95 for one, as opposed to ~$25 for two - I would say that this purchase was a definite BARGAIN. Lush in London is so cheap, I just about died.


Books and magazines. They're so cheap overseas. Jalouse was €3.50!


This is my duty free shopping. The foundation (trench #5) is amazing. I bought the lipstick (#3 Cameo Pink) at the recommendation of the sales assistant (who was awesome btw. She was super helpful and she guessed my foundation colour without even swatching it on me). The mini lipstick (#4 Rosewood) was a freebie. It's so cute.


That Gareth Pugh blush I bought before Europe.


Make Up For Ever (why the 'forever' is separated I don't know) HD Microfinish Powder aka the best powder in the world. No joke. Illamasqua goodies (lipstick in Encounter and cream blush in Crush) from their online sale which I purchased through Vivian before Europe as well.


Vivian is very generous.


YSL Glossy Stain in #9 and Tom Ford lipstick in Black Orchid. We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase the last one in the white packaging at the Bondi David Jones. The new formula has more shimmer.

One last thing, I purchased the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (that's a mouthful) and it is seriously as good as everybody says it is. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

So uni's started and I hate it already. Have I already mentioned that in a previous post? It doesn't matter. I really dislike uni.

OH YEAH. WHO GOT RADIOHEAD TICKETS? *wanky dance* :*:* to Carrie.
