Shopping Again: Great Bargains Under $30 and New Lace-ups at $70

Now that winter is finally coming to an end, I feel like the real me is coming out of hibernation. Gone are dark Saturdays sitting in a quiet corner on the couch watching endless hours of shows on the idiot-box. This weekend the sun shone and I spent the entire day out and about in the quest to find new and exciting bargains to refresh my wardrobe for the renewed and rejuvenated me. Here's what I found....

Bardot Marley Longline Cardigan in Black was $99.95 now $30

Bardot Stunner Skivvy in Black was $59.95 now $20

Sportsgirl Boyfriend Distressed Jeans in Light Blue was $99.95 now $29.95 (similar here)

Sportsgirl Lace up Flats in Black Micro $69.95

Sportsgirl Orange Crush Lipstick $9.95

Happy Mid-Year Sales!

 Omg these sales are amazing! They are some of the best ever deals! Is anyone else as excited as I am? I was in my element this weekend, shopping up a storm. And I could have kept going...but I had to stop myself because I'm going on holidays next month. Here are my finds:

Witchery (7 days of Sales - every day a new offer): Buy a sale item & get the second one for further 50% off

Always wanted a Bretton Stripe Top - bought this one originally $49.95 down to $34.95

Got this necklace which was originally $69.95 for a further 50% off the sale price of $29.95

French Connection: further 20% off Sale prices 

Originally $79.95 down to $39.95 and further 20% off

Last one in my size - was $69.95 down to $39.95

Some of these offers are still available online. Now the challenge is stopping myself from buying any more as these sales will continue next week while Myer begins their Stocktake Sale on Wednesday and Zara will be on sale soon, too.

Some other exciting offers I had to resist were...

Steve Madden: 50% off selected styles

Country Road: Buy 2 sale items, get the 3rd free

Kookai: Futher 50% off selected styles

Happy Sale Shopping!

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...

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...
