Successful Saturday Shopping!

-

Saturday was so much fun and highly successful in terms of shopping purchases!  First, I headed to South Bank in Brisbane to check out the markets there.  It was an absolutely beautiful summer's day, so I thought I would take some photos out and about!




The outfit:

Top: Sussan
Skirt: Sirocco
Shoes: Chocolaticas

The accessories:
Present from M

Bold Ray Designs


What I bought at the markets:

The Earring Shack Australia


Then after the markets, I headed to one of the Salvation Army Super Stores.  This was my first time to visit this amazing op-shop!  All of the op-shops in my local area don't have much in the way of clothing and accessories, but have an abundance of books, toys and furniture.  None of which I am interested in buying!

Imagine my delight when I arrived at the Super Store and found it actually had heaps of awesome clothing, bags and accessories!  

Here is what I bought: 



This is my fave purchase! I love the style and colours of this bag and it's in great condition.  Plus it was only $4!


I had been looking for a dark green bag, so this was a great find.  It still has it's original tags on and is in great condition.  A great deal for $10!


I actually remember seeing this bag in a shop a few years ago for about $50.  I really liked it but thought that it was too expensive.  This bag is missing a few beads here and there but for $7 it was a bargain!



I love the style of this bag and the shiny red/orange feature colour.  It's by Nine West and was only $6. 


How cool is this cuff?!

Back:



I've never seen anything like this cuff before! I absolutely love it!  It's actually quite heavy so I'm not sure what it's made out of.  It was only $4, which is fantastic!

I also bought a skirt, which I will wear in a future post.

It was really fun to have such a positive op-shopping experience this weekend, because it had been ages since I had been to such a good one. I will definitely be visiting this store again and plan to search out some more super stores! 


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    What a haul you had at the Op-Shop. I'm particularly loving the floral print bag. The cuff is really special too. And wow, those earrings from the market are fabulous! As for your outfit, blue really suits you. xxx

    You certainly did very well at the Op-Shop. The handbags are all very nice but I think I like the red/orange shiny one the best. The outfit was nice as well but what I really did like was the fact that you incorporated some photos of the natural surroundings which I found very lovely. The ear-rings were great also and well, I've not seen a cuff like that even though I've visited New York many times. It would be remiss of me to not mention how cute Amber looks in "her" necklace.

    Oh, wow, I love those earrings, and that cuff that you scored at the op-shop! Nice job on the purses too - see how I get so spoiled by second-hand shopping??

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asi...

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon! Outfit 1: Top: H&M Crochet ca...

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new ...
