Holy Sale!

Oh my hat guys! I've not long got home from a very very long day out! But it was a great day out. I made the last minute decision to trek it all alone to the city today to check out a massive warehouse sale of all things MINK PINK and STAPLE!!! Those of you that have been reading for a while now would already know that I adore Mink Pink. Mainly because every season they throw together a mix of awesome fabrics, unique cuts and super cute prints and then sell it for a price that my poor uni student budget really likes. So you can imagine how much I squeeled on the inside when I read about the sale this weekend!

When I arrived at the address I had to walk down a flight of stairs into this super dark room. Once my eyes adjusted I panned across the floor and all I could see were just racks upon racks of clothes! A little piece of heaven for some, but a giant nightmare for me! I mapped it out logically and decided to start at the furthest left hand side and work my way around clockwise. Awesome strategy! But I missed peering into the boxes of goodies in the middle. By the time I had decided that enough was enough my pile was about 20 items high and I headed for the change rooms. I did a couple of laps before I realised that there wasn't anywhere to try your items on!!! But there were mirrors. And a hell of a lot of half naked girls!

Sorry to do this type of photo again!!! I didn't have time to try anything on and take a decent photo.

It took me over an hour to decide which ones were coming home with me. After I made a few necessary cuts, I ended up walking out with 14 new items for under $250! Talk about bargain shopping. It's safe to say there will be a few outfit posts around these parts soon.

Have you ever been to one of those crazy warehouse sales before!?

Holy moley! Another season is winding up and soon it will be Winter! Although, it feels as if Winter has come early this year. I've been wearing layers to bed, even more layers to work and incredible amounts of layers to University. My fireplace has been alight almost every night, and Joel and I have been going to sleep in pre-warmed beds! I think my electric blanket has become my new best friend. Even if it makes me run late almost every day.

May has had an abundance of those brisk but sunny mornings. Those ones where if you look out of your window it will appear to be a fantastic day outside, but the moment you step out the door, you know you are going to regret wearing tights instead of jeans! Fortunately, today was a little warmer than most have been. I waited until the wind had settled to venture outside and show you all my very colorful trees! I hate seeing trees without leaves. It's as if they are naked almost? But, the leaves did make for some pretty fun shots. My kitty even joined in on the action!

What was your favorite part of Autumn? (Even if it's been long gone for you).

Great Expectations

A little over a month ago I posted about a darling little chiffon Maxi Skirt that formed part of Mink Pink's Fall 2011 range. I instantly fell in love the effortless look of pairing a maxi with an over sized jumper! And well, it's almost winter now, but the wonder of pairing these two polar opposites has not worn off! Just look at the latest photos from the latest collection for proof...

This rustic red 'Great Expectations" Maxi is fastly becoming a weakness in my recent bid to start saving money! Luckily I have a gift certificate to one of the stockist stores! Yipee!!!

As always, you can view the rest of the Winter 2011 collection HERE.
And shop Mink Pink HERE.

Nothing To Hide

I am in absolute love with this new Maxi from Mink Pink's Fall range. There are not many clothing items I find online and swoon over until I am holding them IRL... but I am making an exception for this one.

Buy Mink Pink from Market HQ!

Mink Pink Swim

This collection from Mink Pink Swim 2010 makes me yearn for the afternoon sunset of a beach not to far away. 

Photos from my own summer beach getaway will be posted shortly!
