Soooo Priceline was having 2 for 1 at Priceline, at $21.95 a pop it’s woeful but when you’re getting one for free it’s a fair price :)
* Light vanilla scent
* Cute packaging
* Feels light on the lips, not sticky or heavy
* Nice range of colours available
Strawberry Shortcake, cool toned light pink, doesn’t do much for my complexion.
Sweet Tart, warm toned pink, love this shade so fun and sexy <3
I swatched all of the colours on my arm while I was there and I’d have to say (in my humble opinion) the best sellers will be Sweet Tart and Tutti Frutti ;)
Here’s some arm swatches from Karla Sugar
Which shades are your picks?

29 year old self: Mm I’d really like some new shoes for winter, mm maybe some black or brown ankle boots, mm flats or heels, open toe, closed toe? Ballet flats? Brogues? Loafers? Slipper loafers?
15 year old self: SCREW YOUUUUU WE’RE GETTING DOCS, PINK DOCS!!!! *WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Soo suckered into et another ASOS sale, grabbed this dress I’d been eyeing off for the bargainous price of $32 (or close to)
This print is horses on a carousel
Which vaguely reminded me of one of my favourite Florence Broadhurst prints
Yeh nothing alike but hey it’s horses!
What pretty frivolous purchase have you made lately?

Shopping
I’ve got a wedding to attend in March and nothing to wear, I did buy a dress from ASOS but it’s not exactly what I had hoped for, in other words it wasn’t all that flattering on me so I figured I’d buy another dress…
This is the daydream dress from Princess Polly, it got quite a bit of love from my twitter pals when I was asking for dress advice this was a popular choice :)
These cute pistachio coloured shoes from ASOS, I figured they would compliment the style and colour of the Daydream dress, I just hope they fit!
Zombies
Pinching this one from Dee, because she got me hooked on the Watching Dead podcasts. I’ve been listening to this pretty much every night for the past few days, funny, witty and somewhat soothing. It helps me unwind around bed time to hear two guys chit chat over the Walking Dead episodes, also now I have to get my hands on the graphic novels!
How was your weekend?
New Girl
Such a funny adorable show, the more I see of Zooey D, the more I love, seriously I wish I was as cute and funny. I was in a crabby mood this morning and I though mm I’ll watch New Girl, it was the Penis episode, ahhh I giggled and grinned so much :D now I feel so much better, almost ready to take on the day.
Green Smoothies
Joined the green smoothie 21 day challenge initiated by the lovely Sabine of Echolife, it’s really fun mixing random stuff together and glugging it down in the pursuit of health and glowing skin :)
SHOPPING!
I got these StyleStalker flares on sale at ASOS for about $15 *eeep*
Dress and shorts both from Topshop
Tinted Lip Balms
I picked these up on evilbay, not available here in Au yet
Head and Shoulders shampoo to bash BO
Sarah recommended this on her blog, this really works, you wash your pits with it and it keeps you BO free all day, seriously a miracle discovery on Sarah’s part, AMAZING!!! Life changing even haha.

Why am I posting this?
Because I’m utterly fascinated by the spending habits of others, I know my shopping reveals a lot about my current state of mind and priorities.
So here goes…
I bought some running shorts from SurfStitch because I wish I had of kept running through pregnancy and hope to eventually get back into it
Some abdominal binders from Ebay, I hear that squashing your stomach after giving birth helps it shrink back to shape better/easier/quicker
Some weight loss and general health supplements from Coles, for their fibre/antioxidants/detox/digestive qualities
Russh Magazine, because I haven’t read it in so long and I’m trying to fall in love with it again…
Blythe prints from Kinderland on etsy, because I love blythe, though I think I may put these in my daughters room :)
In the near future I see myself buying a heap of cute hair ties from Dusty Plum
and perhaps some from here too
What have you bought lately, I’m curious, any cute finds on etsy? Any amazing hair/skincare/makeup discoveries?

I enjoy seeing what other people buy, so feel free to link to any fashion related purchases/blog posts in the comments below. I’m kind of over makeup at the moment so that’s the reason for my shift in topics lately - just so you know ;)
Inspired by Mumma With Heels I’m going on a no spend for a month or two, only because I want to buy nice things and need to save up, I have no paid employment and no credit cards so I’m afraid for me it’s the only way to get what I want!
The self imposed rules of the no spend include -
* No magazines
* No makeup
* No skincare (unless I use up a must have item like moisturiser/cleanser)
* No shampoo/conditioner or body washes (unless I use up what I already have)
* No impulse accessory buys
Only allowed to -
* Pay off the layby I have currently
* Buy clothes if needed (due to my rapidly expanding belly)
* Buy new winter clothes for the kidlets
* Buy presents for others (birthdays, mother’s day)
Date spending ban ends - 1/6/11
Now for the things I may want to purchase when my no spend comes to an end…
* A nice chunky masculine watch for my skinny wrist
* These slouchy grungy boots
* These insane, impractical and expensive, yet amazing shoes
* This ugly but cozy looking huge cardi
