Zigzag Tights and Zara Blazer

Why do the weekends go so quickly and why does Monday seem to stretch forever! I've had to remind myself about 5 times today that 'its only Monday!' :( Anyway, my weekend was quite chilled out and fun. Caught up with a few friends, all of whom I hadn't seen in a while. Went shopping too. Finally wore the Supre Zigzag tights that I'd bought during the Chadstone VIP Night sale to my shopping-trip with my girlfriend on Saturday...

Love this chain-link ring!

On my shopping-trip I bought this Zara Floral Silk-Satin Blazer (among other things)...

I'd been wanting a floral blazer for a while now and knew Zara had some in their collection, so I'd been visiting the store weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) going all the way to the city from the burbs where I live and work to check if they had it. Plus I have a Gift Voucher for Zara that I wanted to use. Finally on Saturday I saw they had a few blazers out in store, but this one was the one I liked most. 

2 left in my size and 2 women got to the rack the same time as I did-just a fraction quicker than me. Both of them stood there, looking at the blazer, checking it out, contemplating. I just stood in between them both waiting for one of them to give it up for what seemed like about 5 minutes (but it probably wasn't that long) almost wanting to say 'neither of you seem to want it as much as I do, just give it to me!' And then one of them did! Hehe...I feel like I've fought hard for this one, and really earned it. ;)

Atleast now I have something to look forward to in my busy work-week ;). But have to remind myself that one must...

Vip Night(s) May 2012

As promised, here's a low-down on the damage I've done to my bank account during the Chadstone and Melbourne Central VIP discount Shopping Nights...

Portmans - Tear Drop Top in Shiraz

Originally $59.95 down to $29.95 less 30% = $20.97

This also covers one of the items on my A/W Wishlist, where I'd said I would like to buy something in a rich, wine colour - what a coincidence then that the colour of this top is referred to as "Shiraz"!

Portmans - Tuck Detail Shell Top in Citrus

Originally $49.95 less 30% = $34.97

This top has a very unique lime colour. Its not as yellow as it looks in the picture. It looks really good IRL. And the maroon nail polish I'm wearing is also from Portmans ($7.95 less 30% = $5.56)

Supre - Zigzag Printed Tights

Originally $20 less 20% = $16

Not a bad price for a whacky pair of tights! And it actually looks good with that Citrus top!

Sportsgirl - Blake Plain Drape Cardigan in Charcoal

Originally $49.95 less 15% = $42.46 

I suppose I could cross drapey (asymetric) cardigan off my A/W Wishlist, too with this buy.

IDS - Vintage Floral Dress

Originally $59.90 less 40% = $36

And last but not the least, the most coveted item (by me) on my A/W Wishlist....

Forever New - Sylvie Wool Blend Coat

Originally $149.95 less 15% and I had a Gift Voucher so ended up paying $111

Normally I wouldn't pay that much but this was something I really wanted so I made the exception this time. But no more shopping for a while....
