A peak inside my wardrobe

Due to heading overseas for a bit and being a girl who doesn’t mind a bit of shopping, I’ve recently had a few new additions added to my wardrobe {and more}. I love my little purchases so thought I’d share them with you.

The other day I was in a work meeting talking about strategy and important things when all of a sudden the girl I was chatting with stopped mid-conversation to exclaim, “Oh My God!” I thought something dire had occurred but she soon continued, “Kate Spade!”

I picked up the Kate Spade purse on sale from $300-something down to $100 about a month ago. It’s from my favourite shop Papier D’Amour. The assistant talked me into the black, but I’m kicking myself for not getting the bright purple.


I do still love it though, and love the bright pink interior. I guess it’s time I grew up anyway, right? {And yes I cleaned the receipts out before taking the photo. I’m not usually that tidy!}


I picked up this new Kate Spade phone cover the day after I returned from the States. I think I was jetlagged and overjoyed to be home and felt I needed to shop more. Call me crazy. Inside the cover {hidden away} is the words ‘have courage’. It makes me smile knowing inside something is giving me strength.


Thanks to Zoe’s advice {“coral lipstick is universally flattering”} I picked up my first coral lipstick. My Kate Spade purse came with the little quote “she tucked her coral lipstick away and floated back to the party” inside. Meant to be. I can’t throw the card away.


I was lucky enough to be given this bag by Belle Bijoux to take to America. Her name is Evangeline. I love her so. The headband is from ASOS, the belt from eBay and the rest from Forever21.


These are my shoes from Shoes of Prey {review to come!}, earrings from Forever21, scarf a gift from Sarah from GAP and the rest are from SoGood.


Isn’t this ring fun?

See, I’m not growing up in a hurry. This makes up for not getting the purple purse.


And lastly {phew!} is some things I picked up clothes-wise. A top from City Chic, another tee from Myer {haven’t worn it yet but had to have it} and the cutest cropped denim jacket from Lane Bryant.

I think I’ll take it easy on the shopping front for a while. Eek.

What’s the last fashion-type purchase that you made?

  1. I have done a bit of shopping lately as I met with a stylist and we've totally redone my wardrobe. To my surprise I actually had a Some great stuff so I've just brought a couple of things to get me through the end of winter. I've purchased some awesome black pants that fit like a glove, a top, a skirt and a few accessories. I'm yet to blog about it but you may have just inspired me to do it!

    I love your phone case, I'm a sucker for a good quote. I also love the bag and a few of your earrings got my attention too.

  2. I've been eyeing off one of the Kate Spade iPhone cases for a while. I think I might just have to treat myself 🙂

    Loving all your purchases!

  3. Looks like you had HEAPS of fun, what beautiful new additions to your life! My most recent purchase was a red dress for a wedding, but now I am full of doubts if maybe it is too dressy for a morning wedding.

  4. Love everything you got! Shopping is soooo much fun! My latest was two days ago at Diva – yep got quite a few gorgeous accessories -I really needed them 🙂

  5. Hi, I love you blog. I just saw that fantastic top from Myer – would you mind telling me what brand… have a special date night with my hubby next Friday for our 14th Wedding anniversary and would be very keen to get one.

  6. Fantastic Shopping! Kate Spade does the sweetest pieces. You have picked some of the best ones. Ps your BlogHer trip must have been such a life highlight!

  7. I bought the hot pink wallet at the Papier D'Amour Sale, it's a little bit of gorgeousnous inside my black bag. Lovely to know you scored one too!

  8. love love love that handbag, the colour, the texture, totally gorgeous! A Kate Spade handbag came home with me from the US earlier in the year, it was the only kind of handbag I desperately wanted to come home with. My most recent fashion purchase would be a few things online from the new CR spring collection….that and some fabric to have a crack at sewing myself a dress for the very first time!

  9. I've gone a bit nuts lately with a nice tidy tax return and refinancing the home loan means a smaller repayment every month so I'm cheering! (after months and months of raiding the coin tin to get enough money to buy a loaf of bread some weeks!)

    in the last 2 weeks I have bought…

    – a watch
    – Lily rose handbag
    – Clothes from TS14
    – and I went slightly nuts at the craft fair on the weekend.

    surprisingly I have not bought shoes!!!

    and I am currently awaiting my jeweller (well, she is not just mine, but you know…) who is going to remodel my nan's rings into my own funky ring. Check out her awesome designs here http://www.kidsonjewellery.com.au her website is currently under construction but the links to facebook are there.
