OOTD & FOTD

Here's the look I'm wearing today: an absolute minimum with just a little bit of tightlining and mascara (Estee Lauder MagnaScopic). No foundation or powder of any sort (as you can tell with all the spots!), just moisturiser. It's such a hot day today, I didn't want to wear any make up!

As for my outfit, it's also simple and minimal with just shorts from Supre (non skanky, of course) and a loose fitting tee from Lolita. Oh, and the bow hairband from Aldo Accessories. Nice and mumsy. No skanks here today... LOL!

Today we're just going to do the family thing, maybe take Dante to a park or the beach, and spend some time at the shopping center (for the air conditioning!) My other son is at home with his nanna and grandpa. He loves them!

Proud New Owner of Hot Pumps!

Oh my golly gosh. I am in love with my new shoes. They're from Aldo, and I bought them for $209 AUD. I absolutely cannot wait to wear them out. There's just one problem. My partner doesn't know about this new purchase of mine (or any recent purchase, for that matter)! He doesn't like me spending my money on "frivolous" sh*t, as he puts it. But c'mon. Shoes are a necessity!

Try telling him that! I suppose he's got a point though. I don't work, I'm a stay at home mum. He's the bread winner in this family. So really, he does have a right to tell me where the money goes. But when I see something I like, I just have to have it! I obsess over it and even dream about it. It doesn't stop until I get the item I so badly want. So there's only one way to stop obsessing over it, and that's to add the item to my collection.

I have a whole collection of dresses and shoes I haven't worn, simply because I see them and I tell myself I cannot be without them. What if I go to a party that has a red only dress code? What if bubble dresses come back in fashion? What if I get invited to P.Diddy's famous white only bash? (Dream on, Rin!) There's so many events that I could potentially be attending, and it's best if I have the right outfit for it so I don't need to do the whole last minute rush thing.

So these new shoes I got are perfect for a night out wearing a little black dress. Or even dressed down with jeans and a sexy top for a dinner or something similar. I cannot wait to wear them. I just need to know how to tell my partner about this new love of my life. I'm sure he'll love them once they're on me. He just won't like how I acquired them! Oh dear... what to do?!

Oops I Did a Haul...

Um... so yes I went shopping yesterday with the intention of buying just a facial cleanser. What did I come home with? Philosophy's Purity Made Simple cleanser. Nars Laguna bronzer. Mac 195 concealer brush. And 4 tops from Forever New... two of them the same top, just in different colours. Hmm. From a budget of $42 for the cleanser to over $300 for bits and bobs. I don't even know where the money came from!

I love the tops though. The singlets will be my summer staple. They have sequins, yet they're casual, yet you can dress them up. I love it! And they other two tops are good just for dinners or movies. Which hopefully I'll be doing more of this summer, since my mum can take care of the kids more often.

I would've gotten a shoe as well, but they didn't have it in my size. A blessing, really. But I really liked those shoes! I did get them to order it in, though. But that doesn't mean I'll end up buying the shoe... right? Hmm!

Guess What I Got!

So I got two new tops from... can you guess where? Guess! Of course. I have a thing for Guess clothing. They make the best casual yet dressy tops. I got both the black tops for 25% off, and the dress I bought a few weeks earlier. When I see something I like from the store, I freak out and feel like I have to buy it because it'll be gone the next time I go there. It's happened once before, so I've learnt my lesson. You see something you like, you buy it then and there! Or lay-by it, at least.

So I went there today and got the two black tops. I also saw some hot shorts that I really like, but I need to try them on to see what they look like. I had my son with me so I couldn't, but it's on my to do list for next Tuesday (my one day off being a full-time mother)! I can't wait! If the shorts look good on me, then it's going on lay-by along with another halter top and maybe a summer cardi. I wish I were made of money! Then I woudn't have to lay-by.

I need to lose some weight to have the dress look good on me. Pot belly is never attractive. Since summer's around the corner, I really need to watch what I eat and get more active. It's harder than it sounds, believe me. Especially if you're a glutton and luurve chocolate! Hehe.

I Want These Shoes!

At Hype DC they have some gorgeous shoes on sale... I really really want the ones pictured! It's been a long time since I've bought some fashionable shoes for myself... I think the last time was in Feb. But that doesn't really count, cuz P bought them for me. When I want something, I obsess over it. I can't stop thinking about it. I scheme up ways I can get it. I even dream about it!

So I guess I'm going to have a hard time until I can get my hands on these shoes. It will be a loooong while before I can sleep peacefully. P says they look skanky. Do they? I don't think they do at all, but each to their own.

I've Yet to Wear These...

Here are two dresses I got awhile ago from Guess. The first one is a knit dress that I thought would be perfect for winter... except who wears short sleeves in winter, right? The second I thought would look nice as a dressy dress... except I rarely go out. So... now I'm wondering, why did I buy these agian? The weather here in Melbourne, Australia is way too cold to be frolicking about in dresses! So it's another "opps" purchase from me... yet agian.
