Ignoring the grey

Shoes, glorious shoes.

I have to quit my job; Betts are making it too hard for me to abstain from buying shoes. I have bought a pair (had one pair bought for me, *squee*) for each month I have worked there. That's eight pairs of shoes. Granted, the majority of these are for practical work purposes, but now, look at these:

Essence, teal - $99.99. I also want this in the nude glitter.

Lotus, yellow - $89.99. It has fruit on it, enough said.

Juniper, aztec - $89.99

Hayley - $99.99. Do want. 

Colossal, red/purple - $99.99

Superstar, fuschia - $119.99

Sweet baby jesus, that would be a lot of shoes in my wardrobe. There is also another super amazing wedge called "Spree" which is in store, but does not yet have a photo on the website, but is probably my favourite right now.

Just sayin'

I just wanted to post a quick note before I jet off to Sydney tomorrow morning. You can always, always look good on a budget. People ask me, "where do you shop, where do you get your clothes from?" I shop cheap, I am a regular at Valleygirl, Target, and the sale sections of Dotti, Sportsgirl, General Pants and Trims. I'm not embarrassed to check out what's new in Big W and K Mart. For instance, I previously posted about my new pair of wedges bought from Big W for $34.95, here:

You could also spend more money and get basically the same thing at Novo for $79.95

Or spend more money and get the Tony Bianco version for $179.95

Similarly, I can get these blue wedges I have been lusting over from Novo for $79.95

Or splash out on the Tony Bianco wedge at $179.95

And if anyone cares to drop a pair of those blue bad boys in my letter box (size 8, fyi) I will be so happy.

Cloudy skies

The weather today is terrible, but I caught a brief sunny spell to take some photos. I'm wearing my new, 70s style floaty blouse which I got on sale at Cotton On, my trusty $10 jeans from Globalize, Mum's vintage belt and the Cooper wedge from Betts.

Bambi x Tony Bianco

And my love for shoes continues...
Tony Bianco's Summer 2012 campaign featuring Aussie model, Bambi Norwood-Blyth, is a knockout. I love the simplicty of this shoot; the understated backdrop and outfits allow the striking colours and shapes of Bianco's latest collection to capture your attention. And if someone with legs like Bambi can't sell shoes, I don't know who can.

Bambi is also the current guest blogger at Tony Bianco.com.au and shares her adventures in modelling, shopping, travel and personal photos. It's a fun and intersting read and you can check it out here.

eBay update

When I can't shop at Marion (because you can't work and shop at the same time, unfortunately) I come home and shop online. It's a terrible and costly habit but I simply love owning things. Hence, my latest eBay situation:

Currently bidding on and hoping not to lose to last-minute poachers (cowards, all of you!):
 

Super cute vintage romper, currently $6.50.

I lost these shoes at the last minute (they would have cost me $10 + $7 postage:

 So I took revenge by spending slightly more money and buying these outright ($29.99 + $11.00 postage):

Still waiting for my clogs in the mail, but they are coming from China so I am trying my best to be patient.
