Parcels Parcels Parcels

Those of you who follow me on Instagram will know I received some lots of parcels yesterday.  There's nothing I love more than opening boxes and discovering my new purchases inside (spoken like a true shoppaholic).

I got a pair of Mimco boots (love the lower stack heel - SO comfy) which are a great casual boot (and on sale at Mimco).  I also got this pink mesh pouch.

My Burberry trench coat situation has been resolved and I received the trench.  It is just so lush.  The cotton is heavy duty and it just feels amazing on.  I bought a size US2/UK4/EU36 (I'm an Aus6) and it fits perfectly apart from the sleeves which are a tad too long.

 I also paid off my Marcs layby and took home this gorgeous pale blue wool coat.  I've literally been searching for one since Monica wore a pale blue wool coat on FRIENDS about 15 years ago and was over the moon when I found this.  The coat looks quite boxy in the below photos but it looks a lot better on and cinches in at the waist.

Also got some Sass & Bide goodies - The Scribble b&w blazer, and white skinny jeans.  Will try and work out some white jeans outfits that don't make my super short legs look stumpy :S

I also got my Clinique toner which I realised was the wrong one.  How does one purchase the wrong toner when they have a bottle of it in their bathroom cupboard??

Good Shopping Karma

I'm a firm believer in karma, and generally with things less superficial than shopping, but today I feel like I've got good shopping karma.  I took my sister shopping as it's her birthday 2 days after mine (next week) and told her she could get whatever she wanted up to $500.  6.5 hours and $400 later we decided we would leave the $100 for another day.  She managed to get 3 bags, 2 pairs of heels, 2 blazers, a whole heap of tanks/tees/skirts/dresses, a strapless bra, some nail polish and lip gloss, and a belt.

I dropped her home and grabbed some of my packages while I was there.  I got my Asos order (with one incorrect item) and Mimco order and love pretty much everything (apart from the incorrect item).  I also managed to find and purchase a Sheike dress I fell in love with when it came out 5 years ago for NINETY-NINE CENTS.  Thankyou ebay.  I'm also on the verge of selling my Chanel for a price I am happy with.  Fingers crossed.

Bailey is beyond adorable

Waterproofing my babies

I put this Marcs coat on lay-by.  Lucky I did that too because size 4 is already sold out and the coat was only released last week!  I have been on the lookout for a pale blue coat ever since Monica wore one on Friends about a decade ago.  Finally found one :)
