Beach to Bargain

Hrm, so for some reason, no matter how determined I am to NOT go shopping, as soon as someone mentions the word 'Bondi' I start plotting which shops I plan to hit first. Serious sign of a shopaholic? Or serious self-image issues? Probably both, but let's leave that for later. Psycho-analysis is boring, shopping is FUN!

So anyway. YES I hit Bondi today. YES I bought something. And YES there are 5 million and two other things that I really, really want but am too poor to afford (believe me, it sucks).

NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST: Silver T-bar 'U Thong' sandals from Wittner $109.95 (I know, horrible name. I wonder who makes up the names?? I wonder if someone's job is to just sit there and come up with names. That'd be hilarious, hee hee hee.)



NUMBER TWO: A shimmery, almost-nude, pale pink colour like OPI Nailpolish 'Hearts & Tarts'. Yummm. Elegant but different.

NUMBER THREE: EVERYTHING in Kookai Bondi Junction. I want to live in the store!! (Of course, I also want to buy a nightclub and live there - with the current property rates in Sydney, buying Kookai and the nightclub might actually be cheaper).

NUMBER FOUR: Shiny dark-blue metallic Havaianas. But first, I need to actually find them in my size. Grrr. =.=

Oh yeah! And they have CUSTOM HAVAIANAS now!! Check it out at General Pants Bondi - you pretty much choose the base colour and the straps at the top. I like my thongs to be one solid colour though, so so much for playing with that >sigh<. So anyway, the list goes on, but a girl can only save up for a few things at once... after all, I DO have to save money for impulse purchases.

p.s. I am quite aware that this sort of spending and materialism is bad. OH WELL.

Shirt dress/dress shirt?

Every now and then, I have a craving for a specific piece of clothing that I believe (often in a delusional manner) will, upon wearing, somehow render me sexy, fashionable, glamorous and highly sophisticated.

I go into one-minded huntress mode, prowling shop after shop in the hope that the item I want will be found in the perfect size, the perfect colour and the perfect price($50 or under - hah! Wishful thinking).Shop assistants can normally recognise me when I'm on the hunt. I just walk into a store, stand in the middle - and walk out because I can't see what I want.

Said item is currently a dress-shirt, which I somehow fantasize will be great for wearing out casually, straight to clubbing, without being too hot and sticky, but be hot and sexy instead.

Fantasize is the key word.

But I still want it, and I want it white. I want it short. I want it comfortable. I want it cotton. I want it sexy.

So far, there's one at Bondi Westfield I found, but the colour I want (settling for light blue here) doesn't come in my size >pouts<, and the fabric seems really thick. And I'm one of those people whose body temperature rises quickly, so I don't really want something thicker than a wood plank for summer. >sigh< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Wn07XpGcsML1L6UfNzJ7BYhd0NR_V7v-z6r5utCr6sm88TY1wPFePqhUj1M5eW-0CiGKdhQvsZ4GTRkHXbt__sJb1MWFZZnoAAMhjEwjJHCtuMsXZ6Sqh7PpKVyaE0FovwmCQ5l2M6mB/s1600-h/white+shirtdress.jpg">
