So, today was the AFL grand final. Collingwood vs St Kilda.

<sarcasm>

Woo hoo.

</sarcasm>

The great thing about grand final day is that the majority of the nation like to watch it. Come 11.30am, the shops are more or less deserted - which suits me perfectly.

So I took my little self out to my local Westfield for some browsing. I had to pick up a new bottle of foundation (Clinique Anti-Blemish in Fresh Neutral, if you're interested) since I am nearly out, but other than that I wasn't looking for anything in particular.

First thing I see when I walk in the door of Myer - ESSIE!

My Myer has never carried Essie before, so this was very, very exciting for me. The only polishes I ever purchase from Myer are Chi Chi and Bloom, for lack of choice. The range wasn't particularly large, I suppose since they're just starting with it, but still. The price tag was $18.95 - which feels like a joke after all my internet buys lately. It's probably going to be a case of me checking out the colours in store and then nipping home to place an order online at
BeautyZone2007. I've actually got an order on the way, so I checked out a couple of the colours I remembered ordering and then went on my merry way.

I ended up getting a few bits and pieces - namely this adorable Ladakh dress;


I'm in love with this dress - I wasn't expecting it to be anything special when I picked it up, but it's incredibly flattering. I love the navy blue with taupe polka dots - not usually into polka dots, but I'm going to have to make an exception.

I also got...

I've purchased this Love ring from Sportsgirl about three times now - I love it but being that it is a cheapy, it fades to greeer wearing a few times. I need to find somewhere that makes it in solid gold. Any suggestions?



The chunky bracelet also came from Sportsgirl. I'm not a huge fan on the padlock, I'm think I'll remove it; but I've been looking for a chain this size for a while now. Claps!
The sideways cross came from Etsy seller Classic Designs (came in the mail yesterday) and is totally stolen from Lollipop26. Love Laura's blog, love her taste. I got the gold fill version of the cross, so hopefully it lasts a little while.
 

Lastly I picked up this cute little cropped cami top. I'll be wearing this with little denim shorts when summer really hits. Can't wait. Came from Temp for a steal at about $14.50.

All in all I'd say this was a successful shopping trip.

OMG I think Mr Whippy is driving past my house - I must run, icecream beckons!!
