These babies just arrived on my doorstep...
Nothing like a new pair of shoes to act as an instant pick me up.

I'm going through a rather rough patch, and am actually posting this from my bed in hospital. Details aside, things are pretty tough but hopefully everything will be back on track (regular bogging included) soon. Xoxoxo

unclaimed goods, and the trials of internet shopping

i am starting to think my little 'tulip' beauties are never going to arrive.

still haven't received confirmation from ZU about my order, yet they have taken mah moneyyyy.

the little poos.

anyway, just hoping they look as hot on my feet as they do on these lovelies!

add to cart (part 2)

I am pretty sure I have a problem...

Online shopping is such a poo sometimes. I mean, no one in their right mind would let an offer like this go. $32 for a rad pair of patent wedges– super comfy, super light, super cheap.

The sad thing is that I am currently sick in bed. Even that doesn't stop me from pulling out the debit card.

Sigh...at least I can stay comforted in the fact that I have cute shoes– as demising as the fact is I am addicted to shopping...

shoppin' with ma eyes

list of my hobbies...

1. jumping over high bars

2. pumping weights at the gym (jks. my arms are to chicken to pump anything heavier than a can of tomatoes)

3. writing adjective-ridden essays for a living (yes that is actually my job)

4. hypothetical shopping sprees on net-a-porter.

the last item (of course) being THE most important.

needless to say this is what i have been doing for the last hour or so..... not sad at all. perfectly justified by the fact that i just got back from a shopping-free beach holiday, and am feeling a little deprived.

tomorrow is already booked-up with a trip to south yarra. boo yeah!

shoes which should be sitting on my mantle piece, but for some reason are yet to appear. quintessentially summer...quintessentially suave, and most importantly quintessentially damn freaking cool.

1. YVES SAINT LAURENT

2. LANVIN

3. CHLOÉ

4. REED KRAKOFF

super-freak super-freak

so.

i found the marni shoes

on ebay

and watched them get sold to some lucky poo for $158.

when it came down to it, i could not justify paying 200 bucks for a pair of shoes i loved, yet had never tried on. as daggy and grandma as it sounds, fit and comfort are so important and really, the enjoyment you get out of a pair of shoes depends on these two pivotal factors.

and yet 160 for the marni platforms of my dreams is such a bloody bargain.

poo you stingy self.

the problem is i actually could have afforded them, and have actually spent more on a pair of shoes which i ordered from sweden. so am not sure what is going on. maybe i am losing my shopping nerve.

so. as i watched the seconds count down, i felt so sad. i actually wanted to cry (no jks beb). i walked away from the shoes like a deflated hater of life.

but then the mail man came and delivered me a lovely surprise. two POP magazines. Argh I screamed 'dude this is sooooo cooool!'

so now i am quite happy. still pining over the loss of a great opportunity, but engrossed in the shiny pages of POP.
