The Friday shop

Today is the start of my weekend so I did what I enjoy best - went shopping. Rach and I hit up Savers (no surprises there) and didn't find much but I scored some great high-waited skinny jeans for $4.99. Then, as is tradition, we headed to Colonnades, grabbed a Boost juice and checked out the bargains. I bought a leopard print body suit from Valleygirl for $9.95 and a pair of black (glorified) leggings from Cotton On for $14.95 (with a cheeky staff discount from Rach). Good day, would have loved to buy more but I'm looking for such specific items that it makes me fussy and unlikely to settle for less (which is probably a good thing).

Today's shopping outfit (sans hat): Quirky Circus shorts, Dotti tank, op shop jacket, scarf as a belt and customised Rubi boots.

Newly purchased bodysuit and jeans with recently pruchased op shop belt and old fave platform sandals.

LF

We've got some pretty great fashion retailers here in Australia which always stock the latest trendy pieces - Sportsgirl, General Pants, Dotti, boutiques on Rundle Street, everything in Melbourne, etc. But I'm always jealous of the choice and great price of clothing in the Northern Hemisphere at places like Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Topshop and H&M which we don't have here. I suppose it's a case of "the grass is always greener" but when I come across stores like LF, I get just a little green and wish I was back in the States, shopping up a storm. Check out pics from LF's banging Autumn and Winter lookbooks:

They also stock shoes by Senso and Jeffrey Campbell. I think I'm in love.
