I Wanna Be A Denim Cowgirl!

 Yesterday I went shopping at my favourite local thrift store called Savers. 

It's pretty expensive in comparison to other thrift stores so when you find a bargain you really need to beat other shoppers away with a stick! I was searching all ten shoe racks (which hold anywhere upto 1000 pairs of shoes) because I was on the lookout for an odd Sachi shoe. It was a gorgeous brown strappy sandal style pair of heels with jewels sewn onto the straps and they were only $12.99! 

If you buy Sachi shoes you know that a brand new pair is around $150 (or more) and these looked brand new so the idea of saving of $137 made me very happy! After ten minutes of looking desperately on every shelf to the point where I almost crawled on the ground to look under the racks, I knew it was time to give up. Obviously someone had found them, tried them on, loved them but couldn't afford them so they hid one in another section of the store so no-one could find them and buy the pair.

I was pretty bummed, until I saw these:

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE denim shoes, cowgirl boots, stiletto heels, chrome detailing and anything patchwork so imagine my surprise when I came across these. Talk about almost peeing myself! Geez.. I ran around looking for it's partner and guess what? Once again I had no luck! I had the bright idea of hiding this one so that I could go back in a few days (hoping the person who obviously hid the first one would give up and put the original missing shoe back) but when I sat down and tried this one lonely shoe on, it was too big. 

I don't mean too big as in "Oh I'll just wear thicker socks than normal" I mean too big as in I would look like I was a kid wearing my mums shoes - and I haven't done that since I was four! 

So I played the worlds smallest violin between my fingertips and moved on to the next row - where I found a pair of Coach, Tony Bianco, Faith and Juicy Couture shoes.. 

I LOVEEEEE THRIFT STORES! 

(and will be uploading this haul video on my youtube this week)

Most Used Items Last Week.

My two most used items last week were:

Wrigley's Double Mint Chewwing Gum.
I bought a pack of (roughly) 100 for $2 at Go Lo.

My Juicy Couture terry cloth coin purse.
I bought this early last year.

These Boots Weren't Made For Walking.

After forgetting my Juicy Couture layby, I came home to find a Myer bag that was as tall as my knees. I peeked inside only to see this..

I took the bag outside, laid it down and got my camera ready.

I <3 Juicy.

Does anyone else own snow boots?
Does anyone else own a pair of shoes/boots/heels from Juicy Couture?

Give Me All The JUICY Details..

I consider myself really lucky to find such bargains. Maybe I'm in the right place at the right time or maybe I like things that other people don't want to buy.

Who would pass up these two Juicy Couture belts? Obviously a lot of people.


I bought these belts the same day as the YSL haul in my last post.
My Chanel perfume gift set had arrived by then.

My Wish List.

After seeing a few people featuring Paul's Boutique bags on their blog, I couldn't help but check out the Paul's Boutique website to see what all the fuss was about.

I love their bright colours and playful designs. Is it just me or do they have a very varsity/cheerleader mixed with Juicy Couture feel??

This was one of my favourite designs and it happened to be on sale.

Do any of you own a Paul's Boutique handbag or item of clothing?
What are your thoughts on their style?

I Choose Juicy.

On Friday I went shopping at the Vic Market to find my brother a backpack. It didn't take very long so on the way home my mum and I ducked in to Myer quickly get some capsules for mums Nespresso coffee machine. After we got the coffee the escalators were out of order so we were forced to take a detour to the elevators. Just as the bell chimed to alert us that the elevator had arrived, I caught a sale sign out of the corner of my eye. It was the shoe department.

Me + Sale + Shoes = Heaven.

I took a look around and things were a decent price but nothing really stood out. There was a whole designer section and the first pair I looked at were still $899 so I went to the more realistic area. I picked up a pair of Siren zipper boots that were exactly dupe of the Balmain ones. I thought $149 was decent but I still wouldn't pay it because I'm not a huge fan of boots. I was about to put them down when mum came over and said 'Ok so half of $149 is roughly $75'. Then I realized it was half price OFF THE ALREADY MARKED DISCOUNT. I began to panic.

I frantically went back to the designer section hoping that in the last half an hour no-one had bought all the size 8 and 8.5s. I was practically pushing women out of the way when I seen them.

A pair of Juicy Couture snow boots in black and silver. I've often been tempted to buy Dior or Guess snow boots but never bothered because I've never even seen snow before. What would I need a pair of snow boots for? But now that I'm moving to Italy, I definitely need a pair.

I held my breathe as I flipped the boot upside down, expecting them to still cost me an arm and a leg. I almost choked when I seen they were marked down to $199. I tried not to get too excited because they looked like a bear could fit his whole leg in them they were so big. I sat down and casually slid my foot into them, expecting my calves to be too big.

The perfect fit. By perfect I mean they slopped around because I wasn't wearing three pair of socks to protect my little piggies from frost bite.

I still cant believe it. A pair of Juicy Couture snow boots for only $100. My lucky day or what?! The sales assistant bought me the other side and yep, perfect. I slopped around in them for 5 minutes, just enjoying the big and bold COUTURE written across the my shins while the back says Juicy.

I only had $40 on me so I crossed my fingers when I asked the guy if he would put them on layby. He pressed his lips together and moved his mouth from side to side as he scrunched his eyes tight in deep thought. He smiled when he realized my eyes were wide in anticipation and finally agreeing that he would.

I am going to pick them up on Wednesday but I can't wait until then to share it with you.

He took me over to the counter to ring them up and I almost melted when I seen the monster sized Choose Juicy pink shoebox. The white and gold monogrammed tissue paper will make fantastic book marks, bangles and even wall paper. I'm going to lay the box flat and take it overseas with me. No way am I throwing it out or selling it. My first pair of Juicy Couture shoes.

How exciting. It was their last pair and it was the last day of the sale.

Some things are just mean to be.
