November Hauling Pt 1

Ah, November 2010 - how eventful you were.

Everything started off lovely. The first weekend was a girls weekend, I went down south with my friends from high school.  We rented a house, had lunch out, strolled along the foreshore, got tipsy at night, had general catch up chit-chats, played SingStar, cooked yummy dinners - all that good stuff.

Second weekend, there was a surprise baby shower for one of my friends from work, which was lovely (I love all things baby, and there are a hell of a lot of babies cooking at the moment, so this is also fun times).  There was also a nice catch up with my group of friends, an engagement party and a birthday party.

At work, I relieved my supervisor while she was on annual leave, meaning I got to take on a different role than I usually play at work.  This was excellent - I was feeling so organised and in control, getting things done and feeling confident.  Halfway through the two week stint, and it all went to shit.  I had a car accident - this is now mid-month - with my car gettting written off.  Physically, I am absolutely fine, which I am so grateful for.  But it did throw me into a state of mind that I hate - just feeling cluttered, disorganised, frustrated and generally tired.  I feel like I didn't end up completing the relief period to the best of my ability, so I'm a bit disappointed with myself. 

I got a call from the insurance company yesterday letting me know how much they were going to be paying out, an amount that I actually found quite fair, surprise surprise. So now I have to start looking for a new car.  Meh. Car shopping - the one kind of shopping that I hate.  I had a little Honda Jazz (named Audrey) before, I miss her already.  Maybe I'll just try find another Jazz.

So, this resulted in some retail therapy :)  I'll have to break this haul into two (maybe three) parts, because there is a fair bit of stuff and because some of my online purchases haven't arrived yet.

Let's get into it shall we?



Probably my favourite purchase of the month was my Harrods teacup, which, funnily enough, I did not purchase from actual Harrods.  Before our trip down south, my friend Stacey (who was actually one of my bridesmaids) and I met in the city for lunch and to do some wallpaper sample shopping for her TAFE course. The wallpaper shop was also a bit of a retro furniture and decor store, these teacups were only $12 for the set.  I loved, I bought, I got the hell out of there before I tried to buy anything else.






Mooloolah sandals - I love, love, love the colour.  They also came in black, but I thought the blue was far more unique and summery (since we're heading in to Summer here).  I love the brogue feel that they have.  I think they were around $35.  They are also really comfy, I've been wearing them to death and so far, not even a hint of a blister.



Studs from Sportsgirl, danglies from Forever New.  I may have already shown you the mint studs if my OOTD post, but I LOVE THESE EARRINGS SO MUCH.  I love how they are larger than you're average studs, but are not too oversized as I have very small ears.  Same applies for the purple.  I bought some eighties looking studs a little while ago and upon wearing them, realised they we actually bigger than my ears. That was awkward.  The coral dangly earrings I actually bought for my Christmas party - I have a mint green dress and love the colours together.

MinkPink cropped sleeveless shirt.  Completely in love with this.  I've been wearing it with high waisted skirts out to casual dinners and with shorts everywhere else.  The fabric is lovely, sheer enough to look casual but still structured, so it keeps the boxy shape so you still look put together.  I love the cropped look for summer, so I figure this will be a bit of a staple for the next few months.


Who doesn't love a comfy, chunky knit?  This one is Miss Shop, and ended up costing my $2 - yay!  I was marked down from $80 to $30, then I got a further discount for being a MyerOne member; then I had a $20 gift voucher, so I only had to part with a couple of coins!  Being Summer I probably won't get much use of it until next year - but I work in a air conditioned office, so it's always cold at work - which means I'll probably get to wear it on casual days.
So that's it for now - I've got a nail polish and a make-up from allwholesalecosmetics.com coming up as soon as my packages arrive.  Hopefully the nail polish will be this week.  I can't even remember what colours I got, it's been a couple of weeks since my order!  Pretty sure it's all Essie and a China Glaze, so that's exciting.

Hope your Christmas shopping is going well - I'm almost done myself, I've started wrapping and placing under the tree.  I love Christmas time.  Have a great last day of November!
