today I am wearing...(and a shopping tale)

I was destined to go to Myer today. It was fate. Wanna know why? Extra discounts on all the already reduced racks!!! So ladies and gents - go, go, go!!! Don't miss out!

I only went to the shops for a relaxing browse, intending on a quick nip in, walk around and out - my exercise for the day (it's raining again), and to pick up seaweed sushi for lunch.

I was all set to head home. I was saving Myer till last... Well, as you know, my pulse starts racing when I can smell a bargain... and let me tell you - there are bargains galore to be had! Review and Cue has amazing deals. Honestly, I could have bought armfuls of dresses (if not for the threat of Mr S divorcing me)... $279 dresses down to $69 then another 25% off. Even Cue had a further 20% off their reduced stuff - which rarely happens! So into the changing room I went, arms piled high with dresses!

The most exciting thing of all is that I found the perfect dress for my niece's wedding (yes, yes, I know I have already bought one)! I fell in love with this dress a month or so when it first came out and there it was... one size 8 with my name on it! Destiny. For $79 with a further 25% off! So happy. I got the Cue dress too. I can't wait to wear it. Looks fab with my short black jacket.

Happy days indeed.

agent provocateur


Agent Provocateur
Sometimes we do miss out living in Australia, when it comes to shopping.  Yes, I know, I know, you can buy online, but call me old fashioned - I still like to go to an actual shop.  I want to browse and try things on and feel excited walking out of a store with a bag of newly purchased goodies.

Agent Provocateur is one shop I'd love to browse in.  While living in London, I use to love just going in and touching all the gorgeous, frilly, lacy, delicate, sexy undergarments. It was nice to be seduced by the decadence and sophistication and possibility.  I wanted to dress up and lounge about in something wispy in heels.

For the Spring/Summer 2012 Collection the Agent Provocateur designers "fell for the soft-focus sensuality of the Seventies. We looked to the images of David Hamilton and watched hours of softly glowing scenes from erotic films, such as Emmanuelle and The Story of O for inspiration".

Cool! I love it all - especially the red one (see below)... I'd love that for my birthday! Hint, hint...

empty handed...

I fancied a couple of hours browsing round my local Westfield mall this morning.  I haven't bought anything for a few weeks and the need to treat myself to something new is starting to nag at me...

I ended up fannying about for way too long, trying on armfuls of dresses and came home empty handed!!!  What's wrong with me?! Now, because I decided to be good (and not buy the dress I wanted because I don't really need it)  I'm kicking myself!  Stupid, stupid me. 

I can't stop thinking about the dress.  There is only the one and it's my size.  Very tempted to go back and get it...  it's late night shopping tonight... Agh, decisions!  I must be hormonal...

UPDATE: I did go back and I bought the dress - yay! I'll post a pic soon... 


Here are two of the many dresses I tried on and umm'd and ahh'd about...
