Today And Tomorrow.

Today was a pretty cool day considering I've been dreading it since yesterday afternoon. Mum told me that I needed to get up early and go to the bank so I could open a new account. Things like that really annoy me. I dunno, they are just draining.

Anyway, we got up, got ready and walked to the bus stop. We waited at the bus stop in a light mist of rain for 23 minutes. Then at the train station for 11 minutes. Opening a new account at the NAB literally took 2 minutes.

We had a chicken schnitzel salad wrap, a chocolate mousse and a coffee (well a can of V in my case)

We went into the local stores and I got some amazing bargains. I went into a store that stocks Satch and I got a dress and four tops. The dress was reduced down from $329 so I had to buy it. Now that I'm looking at it, I'll probably sell it. It was NOT a waste of $150 because some other lucky lady will get to buy it. I just know that no matter how much weight I lose, my boobs will never fit into it. I wish I had of been in this state of mind today instead of being so seduced by the huge reduction in price. I'll be keeping the five tops I bought. They were only $50 each reduced from around $180 each. Bargain!

I also stopped in a thrift store and got a Champion tshirt that is new with tags, a pair of vintage 80's earrings for $3, a purple Hugo Boss t-shirt for $7 and a vintage 70's black shirt with gorgeous sleeves. After that, I went and bought a pair of trackies and a 3/4 sleeve top - in stripes. I don't know what my obsession is with stripes but I must own 20 items of clothing or more in stripes!

I'll be doing a vlog tomorrow and showing all of my items to you.

I'm so proud that I've been keeping up with my YSL challenge. Oh that reminds me, I need to post my day six entry even though it's after midnight. Sorry for the delay, I've been watching The Girl Next Door. I tried to watch Watchmen but there's no sound =\

Mum stuffed our tv lol.

How was your day lovelies?

Tomorrow will not be fun for me. I have a long day of packing the rest of my room. Remember how I said that I have over 300 items of clothes to sort before my room is finished? Well, I need your help. I'm going to be vlogging all of those clothes so you can give me your opinion on what you love, like and are not so keen on.

That kind of makes it sound fun, but thinking back to the 50 odd boxes of clothes I've already packed.. I'm so over it. I wish I could just sell all of my clothes. I think if I was able to part with all of my shoes, clothes, jewelery and accessories, I'd probably never need to work again lol.

Who else here in a hoarder? I still have clothes from the year 2000 and I just cant sell them because they are still as in fashion now as they were then!! I wish I could be more strict but I cant help it.

I think it's time for some tough love.

Marky Mark-et.

It's 7.34 and I can't sleep. I've stayed up all night watching movies while fixing my blog layout and taking photos of items for the website. You will love the bookshelf and vintage mannequin. We've decided to also start selling the furniture and larger items now so we aren't stuck with them at the last minute before we move. I know we are cutting it close but my brother is staying behind a little longer than we are to secure safe transport for the dogs and to finish his building/carpentry course so whatever we don't sell goes on a huge discount sale to get rid of it all so we don't have to pay to transport it overseas. The great thing is that because we are setting up a .com store we can easily sell the stuff we buy at the London markets and designer Italian warehouses internationally rather than being stuck with the .com.au problem.

We will still be shipping to Australia, the shipping rates will obviously change but Australia Post are a frigin rip off anyway. International postage is a hell of a lot cheap than Australian postage. I can get a lipstick sent to me from the UK for around $2 AU. Here, even to send to another suburb of Melbourne is a small parcel which is $4.35.

The markets overseas is what I'm looking forward to the most for my business. Designer items there must practically grow on trees. Even vintage items that aren't necessarily considered 'designer' will be more fantastic than most of the current season items we have here. Australia hardly gets ANY of the stock the rest of the world does. Not to mention that because designer items are more rare to find in Australia, the mark up is outrageous - even basics & second hand items.

I am realistic and I know that designer items wont just be dirt cheap just because they are from Europe. They wouldn't be so sacred if they were a dime a dozen.

Has anyone reading this been to the markets and warehouses overseas? If so, feel free to send me an email or some comments on your experiences there.



Peace.
