Cheap and cheerful

Apologies for my crazy post yesterday - I drank a can of Coke out of boredom and got a bit crazy/hyperactive/disruptive.  I feel much calmer today.

Has anyone been outside to enjoy the 34 degree weather we've got in Sydneytown today?  I went outside to read my book and 15 minutes later I have a very sexy skirt tan-line ;)

Today my outfit is cheap and cheerful:


Cardigan: Cotton On $30
White tank: Supre $2.50
Skirt: Asos $9
Shoes: Ted Baker $100
Grand Total $141.50

(Don't mind the pair of scissors in my left hand - I went to the bathroom to cut the tag off the top as it was scratchy and pissing me off).

Last night I had dinner with my best friend for her birthday.  I wore my Christian Louboutin Biancas with black Nudie jeans, cyan blue H&M blazer and a beautiful silk scarf I picked up from Vinnies over the weekend.  I decided to take my Dior out which is rare because it's white canvas and I'm super paranoid about getting it dirty (clearly not a thought out purchase)



The birthday girl wanted to go to Chefs Gallery near Town Hall.  I had the Dim Sum Sampling Platter and Egg Noodles with Shitake Mushrooms and Golden Fried Shallots.  I know I'll probably get flamed for this but I've eaten at Chefs Gallery twice now and haven't loved it either time.  Maybe I don't appreciate asian food?  Yes I see the irony!  Anyway, I bought her a dozen macarons from that Town Hall place which I mentioned on the Vogue Forums but we were wayyyy too full from dinner to have dessert.



Happy Birthday Dani!!

Also - thank god tomorrow is Friday.  I have a very leisurely day planned with a work lunch slash drinks slash piss-up so I might not get a chance to post.  Have a good weekend!

    1. If you exit Town Hall station via the south exit which spits you out at the Pavillion/Star Bar/opposite Event Cinemas - before you exit is a CitiSuper slash Daiso. At the front of that is a place that sells dutch pancakes and proffitjes (sp?) and around the side is a glass cabinet full of macarons. They're all $1 or $10 for a dozen. Great bargain. My favourites are salted caramel, earl grey and red velvet!

    2. And yes $9 skirt! It was 6 pounds but I can't find the pound sign on this keyboard... I bought the same skirt in grey with pale pink polka dots!

  3. Don't worry, I'm not a huge fan of Chefs Gallery either. Though I've been told you have to order the right thing (apparently the tofu is amazing, and noodles are worth ordering).
