Shop my wardrobe!!!

Hokai.

I have FINALLY gotten round to listing a whole heap of stuff I have sitting in my apartment.  I've got stuff from Asos, Seduce, Marcs, Oxford, Sheike, Forever New, Country Road, T&Co, YSL, Marc by Marc Jacobs and of course Louboutins!

YSL Arty ring overdose

I've heard reports of the Arty ring being discontinued.  I've also heard reports that they are not.  Does the rebranding of YSL to Saint Laurent Paris have anything to do with it?  Regardless, I decided to finally get me one of these after months years of umm-ing and ahh-ing.

I picked one up at UK retail off NAP.  The next morning they had all these Arty rings at 50% off.  Annoyed.  Anyway, I finally received them all and played around with them last night.  I would say they are TTS.  I bought some size 4s and some size 5s as I'm in between 4 and 5 (which is about a J-K) in normal rings, and as expected I am between sizes in the YSL Arty.

I'm not sure what the official colours are called because NAP doesn't call them anything....  Arty experts help me out!

Please let me know which colours you like the best.  I don't think I'll keep all of them as 6 is a tad bit excessive.

This is quickly turning into a shopping blog

I'm materialistic.

There I said it.  I love shoes, and to a lesser extent bags.  I get distracted by sales and sparkly things.  I work to earn money to live a life that I want to live, which includes shopping and eating nice food and travelling overseas every year.  I also value immaterial things such as spending time with my family (I make an effort to see them twice a week and almost always over for Sunday dinner), and hanging out with friends and spending time with my other half.  I also have no children or husband to support (yet).  I already own property and whilst I have a mortgage to pay off, I also have rental income.  But yes I do also pay rent.  And I do love to shop.

The Vogue Forums are really good at helping me spend money.  I found out about the ridiculously cheap Missoni scarf from Stacey which I blogged about a few days ago, then I found out the NAP sale was reduced further and being the inquisitive person I am, jumped on to see what had been reduced further. 

Only 10 minutes and $1000 later......  I am the owner of the following:

Giuseppe Zanotti swarovski crystal-embellished suede sandals

Marc by Marc Jacobs sequinned leather ankle boots

YSL Arty ring in blue

Both pairs of shoes were 70% off - the Giuseppe Zanottis were £334.50 (A$501) down from £1115 (A$1,671) and the Marc Jacobs booties were £98.75 (A$148 - you'd be lucky to get Tony Bianco booties at that price!) down from £329.17 (A$494).  The YSL ring was retail at £158.33 (AUD$236) which is still cheaper than the Aussie RRP at AUD$295.

These are the items I did NOT buy (to show you that I do *sometimes* exercise self-control):

Miu Miu Glitter-finish leather ankle boots

Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 nude

J Crew Tipped Wool Peacoat (only because they don't have my size)

Did you pick up anything from the NAP sale?

Ok I promise my next few posts will not be shopping-related!
