Update: Second Online Purchase

Image source: Ebay

This is exactly the one I'm getting from eBay. (: 


So this would be officially my second online purchase, ever. I'm such a noob. You might recognise this from my recent post on my lust list. Link here: http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/winter-2012-lust-list.html. I've been eyeing this for quite a while, and asked my mum this morning because I really wanted it. And come on, it looks awesome. :D It belonged in my life. ♥

Just a few tips for shopping on eBay, my two purchases ( link to the first one: http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/update-online-shopping-and-healthy.html ).

1) I only look for the ones that are top sellers, because I reckon they're the ones that most trustworthy and your stuff won't mysteriously disappear from air mail. (: And I know that might mean they have slightly higher prices, but better safe than sorry. (:

2) I open all of the 'potential purchases' in separate tabs, in the single window and compare the prices. (:

3) I avoid bids. ;P

4) and I look for free international shipping as a bonus. ;D

All the items I've gotten off eBay came with free shipping, so I'm pretty happy with that. (:

I have to admit, this was was a lot pricier than the other one I was going to get, but this one had the choice of the kinda rusty old looking metal ( as shown in the photo ), which I preferred over the shiny silver piece. (: So chose this one instead.

Now just excited to wait for it! (:

Thanks for reading, this uttermost random and short post, but really wanted to blog. (:

Love,

Update: Trip to DFO ft. Julia && new purchases

So today, had tennis training in the morning, and tried my best to beat my coach, but failed. :P

Anyhoo, got home and changed, then went to pick up Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) to go to the DFO ( direct factory outlet ) shopping centre. (: It has the cheapest crap there ever. ;P And you can pick up really nice bargains there. Oh this reminds me, I really want to go thrift shopping sometime soon. Anyways.

So we basically walked around, mainly went to our favourite stores. And I bought a pair of black cheap shorts from Cotton On since my old black shorts are starting to wear out and turning grey. It was only $5. I think it was really worth it. Tried it on in the store OVER my shorts, because couldn't be bothered to go to the changing rooms. Got many strange stares...

I tried taking a photo of them when I got home, but the lighting was horrible, and it just looked black and you couldn't see the details of the shorts.

They're really flattering, and they have this belt fabric thing that you can tie into a bow at the front. I'm so horrible at explaining, but I think you'll be seeing these in a outfit of the day post soon. :D On the tag, it says : 'Alison Tailored Shorts'. Love them already even though haven't worn them yet. (:

Oh nearly forgot, on a side note, I've already ripped my stockings, so going to get a new pair because they were really comfy. (:

Okay, so another item I got from Cotton On is a black tube/bodycon skirt. I know I bought a lotta black stuff, but really into the colour black at the moment. (: This skirt is kinda different, it's really texturised and everything. (: Didn't take a picture because of horrible lighting. Probably will see this in my outfits as well. (:

So for lunch, had this extremely filling asian cuisine thing. It was really nice though! Couldn't finish it sadly, and was really bloated afterwards.

Afterwards, headed to Westfield with Julia once again, because we ran outta things to get from DFO and wanted to get Boost Juice.

Also went to Dymocks with Julia, and she picked out some books, and I picked out a book which is a sequel to 'Bloodlines' which is so so good. And haven't read in a quite a while, and it was on sale. (:

Not much to say now, but thanks for reading! (:

Update: Mother's Day!

Such a belated post, but finally fixed Instagram. This will basically be an update about Sunday.

So on Sunday, in the morning, gave my mum a hug and kiss along with some gifts. ♥ They were only small gifts but I didn't want to get my mum something she wouldn't like.

I got her a wardrobe scenter thing, and some heart chocolates. ♥

One was in the scent Sakura and the other I forgot. LOL. 

That day, also had tennis training and the weather was really really cold. Freezing. ): When I got home, felt like cleaning out my wardrobe so I did and now, have an entire bag of clothes that I can't fit into, or are really old that was just sitting in my closet for ages. Will be chucking those out. And I really really want to go shopping to update my wardrobe...BUT I'll have to do that after my exams as a little reward. Hopefully I deserve it. ;)

Had pho from some restaurant as lunch and when I got home, just played Fruit Ninja and chilled. That day was a really good day. Didn't do much work.

At night, worked on my history assignment and went to bed.

Thanks for reading!

Update: Photo Booths & Another Beauty Haul

Today, stayed at home for a while to do my maths notes, before heading out with my parents for lunch. (:

We went to the mall to get a few things at Coles and I picked up this really cheap beauty pack from Rimmel. (: At Kmart, got a nail polish remover since I ran out a couple of days ago.

Rimmel London Volume Flash Mascara x10

At the mall, there was a stall of free samples of the new Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee and they had a photo booth and you could go for free. (: Took a cup, and queued up, and went with my mum. Got some free sachets as well. They were really good. ♥ The photos were really good as well. (: Two strips were printed out. Gave one to my mum. ♥

School is starting soon. One more day tomorrow, and that's it. ): So sad, the holidays passed by so quickly. Felt like yesterday, I was sitting in the coach at New Zealand. I miss that place. </3

Anyhoo, not much to add, but thanks for reading!
