I don't know about you but I always have a little mental shopping list. Of course, several of the items fall into more of the 'wishlist category'. That's basically lots of gorgeous handbags and a few pairs of Louboutin shoes. But I also make mental notes of particular (more realistic) items that I've seen on other bloggers or in magazines and want to buy, or find similar versions of.
The Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon shoes have been something I have coveted for a few years. The big shiny hearts give the shoes a cartoon-like quality that I absolutely love. I would have grabbed myself a pair right away but alas, I was living in Korea at the time, where my size (only UK7!) was never stocked, and importing my size would mean around a 60% markup. Errm, that's okay thanks! Skip forward to last weekend when I'm casually wandering around one of the malls here doing some window shopping. I passed by the Melissa store and spotted the iconic hearts at the back of the shop, and then even better, I spotted the sale sign in their section. They were 70% off, and against the odds they had my size! I snapped them up in the colour 'Lychee' and couldn't be happier. Such playful, fun shoes and such a bargain! Guess it's true that good things come to those who wait.
Finding these got me to thinking about other things I want to hunt down, high up my list is a short orange jacket. I saw the ASOS fluro boucle jacket last year on a number of bloggers and was reminded of it by Laura recently. It was half off then, but sold out fast. I bet some of you ladies were lucky/fast enough to snap one up, weren't you?! Anyway, try as I might, I now can't shake the idea that I need peachy orange coloured jacket. I have looked in all the stores here but to no avail. So naturally I started scouring the Internet, which lead me to a site called Peter Hahn that I hadn't heard of before, but it has this orange jacket. It's pretty much what I'm after, just sadly doesn't have the £35 ASOS price tag! The search may have to go on. If anyone knows where I can find a nice light orange or peach coloured short jacket let me know!
So ladies, what's on your current shopping lists? Come on, I know there must be plenty of things!
