shopping

shoot i am having a major guilt trip


i ve been doing so well up to now, resisting major impulse shopping

and being all domestic and buying groceries to eat in

and saving and not going shopping and all that good stuff



then today i got up early

decided to do a bit shopping before my doctor's appointment in the afternoon

(long story, another time)



and then i totally lost the plot from there.



bought a pair of Givenchy shoes and a cheapy pair of leopard heels cause Myer was having a sale

felt guilty as Mum told me not to impulse buy before she left, so returned the Givenchy pair

felt all superior and sanctimonious from there.

then i promptly walked into LV and picked up a scarf






its the same one, but in red and gold.
i dont even like the monogram but the sales lady said it looked good and like a sucker i fell for it

and then I WALKED UP COLLINS ST

@#%^&@#&%$

so now i m the proud owner of a Sonia Rykiel top, Bettina Liano bustier and assorted cheapies. and a misshappen maxi dress because i bought because of a free belt

part of me is all fuzzy, looking at my bags and bags of shopping
(i dont why everyone needs ck, just shop for the rush, seriously)
another part is EATEN UP WITH SHAME AND GUILT
i have no self control
NONE
i promised myself i would not buy anything else as every house is packed to the brim and i am filled with shame when friends come over
but i did it
i lost the plot and my mind and my finger was manically keying in the pin everytime my card was swiped
I BINGE SHOPPED.
its like friggin bulimia, but with credit cards

and half the stuff i buy are going to end up at the Salvation Army again with tags still on them, and my friends are going to give me grief.
one of whom will calculate it in terms of air tickets
' oh Phoon, you ve shopped away a ticket to New York today'.
pause.
'or a ticket to Shanghai'
bollocks.

i cant do this, i have RENT to pay now.
somebody's gonna eat only cabbage as a penance for the rest of the month.


oh and i popped by Subway to eat (!) and picked up a box of chocolates (!!) while shopping!

seriously can this day get any worse?

oh wait
i received notification that my appeal for the parking fine has been denied
and i lost my birkin lock
and parents are uncontactable in some corner of the world

great.
dies.

post shopping shame attack anyone?

i feel like this



growing up sucks.

p.s yes i am well aware this is my own fault, but i ve had a bad day so i would like to whinge unashamedly,thank you v much

Melbourne Spring Fashion week is over!
Had great fun, was an insanely busy time as the dental ball was just round the corner.

thats over now of course, but man, that was a hectic few weeks!

A quick recap of the events

Attended Fashion Escalation at Collins 234, standouts for me were the Braun Buffel accessories and La Bella Donna dresses. Not a long show at all, but i guess i understand the technical difficulties of takng photographs of models on moving escalators! Can see the article here

Also attended the Girls' Day Out event, to watch the Makybe stakes
was sent a lovely ticket for the VIP area in the fashion marquee
there were magnums of Krug on the tables
and i was given Bobbi Brown makeup and Voodoo legwear
which more than made up for me losing on the favourite.
Dont mind admitting this, i m not a huge follower of the races
i usually just put money on the favorite or a horse whose name i like, haha.

didnt bother stepping out of the marquee to watch, was too cold and rainy! All the usuals were present at the event,

the ambassadors
the WAGS and also a couple of footballers.

they had the best desserts, my favourite were these baby sorbet cones!

And to keep in the spring races theme, also attended the Caufield Races launch party.

was held in the Peninsula, and that, my friends, was a party i never wanted to leave. you ll see why in a second. the place was made up in an incredible fashion.

just occured to me i shouldnt give too much detail in case i ever want to throw something similar! hee hee

Gorgeous isnt it?

the Caufield cup
Roving mannequins on the night


event was sponsored by BMW so there were a few Beemers around as well.

Reasons why i didnt want to leave.

1. S Pacific oyster bar.
2. Freshly made mini pancake bar with fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce

3. Event was partly sponsored by Schweppes, so there were Agrum cocktails aplenty. If you look closely, the bartender is scorching the lemon rind before dropping it into the martini glass. Picked up something new for my party repertoire!

Also attended Fashion Revealed, was helping backstage with Sleep Couture.

Fashion Revealed was fun though, and i ll share our little secret

the 2 most important things backstage?

Lindt macaroons and our running sheet hahah

till next time! will update on dent ball and med ball soon, flying to Bris tomorrow for a competition.

Wish me luck!

love.

which unfortunately resulted in some unfortunate shots
