Clothing Haul: Farmers + The Warehouse

I have a pile of recent clothing purchases which I haven't blogged about yet so I thought I would do it all in this haul. I also did a video as well, I've yet to see how it turned out. If it's decent I might upload it next week. As you can deduce from the title the items are from Farmers with a couple from The Warehouse.

If I were on a Boat...

A while ago I put a picture up on Instagram of my outfit cause it occurred to me it looked like what you would wear if you were on a boat. Or at least what I think you would wear on a boat, my only knowledge is from TV shows where everybody wears light colours. The clothes were recent purchases from Farmers so I thought I would share them. 

Farmers Double Sale

Last week was my Mum's birthday and since everybody else was at work we went out for the day. We stopped into Farmers, as you do, and stumbled upon an amazing thing. It was what could only be described as a double sale (I can't think of any other way to put it).

Summer Fashion Acquisitions

It's been quite a while since I've done a fashion post so I'd thought I would do one since I have a couple of new additions to my wardrobe which I am quite fond of. They're all from Farmers and I got them all on sale which is a major plus.

 

 

I got this skirt a couple of weeks before the other items. It's a skater skirt (of course) but what I really liked about it was the colour and the texture. I don't have any navy blue skirts so thought it would be a nice addition.

 

 

 

I spied this skirt the week before I got it but it wasn't on sale. Mum, being so wise, told me to wait till it was on sale and what do you know there was 50% off women's clothes. What drew me was the colour, I love a deep wine kinda red colour and I just fell in love with it. The skirt also came in a black but it just didn't stand out to me as this one. The skirt is a little different to what I would go for, not skater/straight, but I really like it. There's material/a belt which you can tie into a bow which I think looks cute. What's really awesome is how deep the pockets are, you could fit so much stuff in there.

 

 

I tend to choose skirts over shorts because finding a pair that fits me right is basically mission impossible. These pair were the only ones that kinda looked fine. They're similar to the skirt in that you can tie a bow for a belt and there's deep pockets. It's a light material, great for summer and is a army kind of green which I like.

 

 

This is not really a summer shirt but I really wanted a tartan shirt. I love the colours of it, dark blue and pink, and thought it would be a nice piece.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! I'm a bit nervous as tomorrow is my first shift. I got into a work experience program at The Pah Homestead and I'll be doing some shifts as a gallery host. I'm nervous/excited/all the emotions. Hope you all have a good weekend, can't believe it's only a week till Christmas!!!

Boot Obsessed

Well this is a familiar sight. Guess who got herself another pair of black boots.  I'm obsessed. I just love boots ok. I love winter fashion; skirts, leggings, boots and coats. I do however hate the cold.

 

Like a moth to a flame Farmers was having a sale a couple of weeks ago and of course my Mum and I went along. Our local Farmers doesn't have much variety of shoes but I've always seen these ones and loved them.  On that fateful day shoes were half price so it was too good of an opportunity to miss.  There wasn't much left and the fact that there was a pair in my size means it was meant to be.

 

I just love the style, you could dress them up or down and the fact that they're black means they pretty much go with anything.

 

The only thing I don't like is the laces, they're very long and they often come undone when you tie them.  I need to find some better laces or I could try wearing them without any. We shall see.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post xx

Farmers Haul #001

So last week my Mum and I went on a little trip into Farmers in hopes of finding a dress for Graduation. SPOILER ALERT: we didn't find one buuuuut I did find some other stuff which I liked and bought home with me.

 

 

Zeest! Weekend Grey Cardigan

I love this thing, I've pretty much worn it everyday to uni. It's long sleeved, warm, is really long and it has pockets.  It's one of those cardigans you put on and snuggle into when it's a cold day.

 

No Issue Leather Jacket

I've wanted a leather jacket for the longest time but just couldn't find one I liked. I loved this as soon as I saw it.  There was only a few left and thankfully there was one in my size.  It also has a hood but you can remove it which I thought was pretty cool.

 

Urban Precinct Pink Jumper

There was only one left and was a bigger size than I would usually get but then I was like it's a jumper the bigger the better. So yeah. The colour is a bit of a giveaway why I love it, it's soft and in the front you can see a floral design which I thought was pretty.

 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I've been looking everywhere for this. Both my local New World and Countdown don't have it at all so I was feeling pretty defeated.  While at Farmers I decided to see if there was any and there was ONE BOTTLE LEFT. So naturally I took it before anybody else could. It's amazing, pretty similar to my $45 makeup remover.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! Farmers where having a sale at the time so some of these things were discounted YAY xoxo

Farmers Haul

Hey

 

It's the start of another week and once again I am still studying, it's like a never ending cycle. But fortunately my last exam, hopefully forever, is on Thursday so I'll be free! That basically means I'll be trying to find a job and other things to occupy my time.

 

A couple of weeks ago Farmers were having their sales which they have every Thursday and of course I couldn't resist.  What really drew me in was the 25% off Revlon Foundation as mine was running low and needed more. I of course got a few more things so it wouldn't feel lonely.

 

No Issue Jumper & Whistle Skirt

 

When I saw these particularly, the jumper I knew they had to be mine. The jumper isn't something I would usually go for but I couldn't resist the pink even if it is neon. It's nice and lightweight, the sleeves are in a knitted style so will be nice to wear on a cool night.  The skirt is a nice black skater style business type skirt if that's how you want to describe it and is very versatile.

 

 

Maybelline Colour Sensational, 625 Are You Red-dy 

You guys know that I have a problem when it comes to red lipsticks, I literally want all the shades there are. I probably shouldn't have bought this but oh well it's mine now.  This one is more of an actual red, not orangey or pinky, just a classic red. I justify the purchase as I don't have one of those, I'm obsessed with the whole pin-up look and this would be the perfect red for it.

 

Chi Chi Lip Liner in Fly Girl

I've always wanted a Chi Chi lip liner after watching Shaaanxo rave about them constantly.  I couldn't decide between nude or red so I went in between with a fleshy pink.  It really does go on smoothly and keeps my lipstick in place. I definitely need to get more.

 

Sunglasses

While we were there my Mum wanted to have a look at the sunglasses, the rest of my family got some new pairs so I wanted to get some myself.  I ended up getting two pairs as I just couldn't choose.  They both have a similar cat-eye shape, one is black and the other has a tortoise shell design.  To me the black looks more glamorous and the other more casual but I'll just wear them around anywhere.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! I got some other things from this shopping trip, they were repurchases and there will be a post on them on Wednesday.

Clothes, Clothes and Clothes

Hey

As mentioned last week I went to Farmers and they were having a sale and there were quite a number of clothes on the sale rack.  I managed to find some gems as well as some other pieces that were still on sale but not to the extent as the others.

These are the little gems I found on the sales rack.  The pink sweater at the top was $10 and what drew me to it was for sure was the detail on the shoulders, I do love a bit of sparkle and pink.  The denim jacket and the peach/coral blazer were $20 and when I saw them I knew I had to have them, everyone needs to have a denim jacket right?  The picture on the left is the actual colour of the blazer, it's nicely fitted and I love how bright and summery the colour is. 

 

 

 

These two weren't on the sale rack but I really really liked them.  The top is just a nice summery shirt that I can just throw on and it goes nicely with the blazer.  The skirt is a 'denim' skater style but is not really denim, just looks like it.  I've been having a thing for skater style skirts for a while now, I just want one is every colour/pattern.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

My Favourtie Things #5

Hey

I'm a bit undecided on whether I'm excited for the weekend. On one hand I get to sleep in and stay warm but on the other hand I've got two essays to do for next week, and being the weekend means the due dates closer and the pressure is on :( Anyway enough with that here's another little post on my favourite things.

 

Heaters in the Library

Once again kind of random which kind of then makes me random but oh well.  On Wednesday I basically spent the whole day in the library trawling through books trying to find something relevant for my essays.  Literally the first thing I do is snag one of the little study areas in the library where I can just shut the door and relax in the peace and quiet.  The great thing about these little rooms is that there's a heater which has already been turned on so it's toasty warm when I get there. It did rain a bit that day and I don't know about you but there's nothing better than being somewhere warm while it's raining.  All day I was unwilling to leave the room to put books away but eventually I had to leave which kind of broke my heart especially as I was leaving it started to rain again :/

 

New Bag

This bag became mine only last night so its very new in terms of newness if that's a word.  I got this from Farmers as they were having a big sale on literally everything and because my Mum wanted to go so I really had no choice (though I wasn't complaining).  I been really wanting a new bag for a while now, one that's big enough to fit some books and other stuff but is smaller that my current backpack I use for uni; I find it annoying having to wear it when there's nothing much in it.  Anyway it's black as you can see, it's got a couple of pockets in the front and has a lot of space inside, I'm very excited to start using it.

 

 

New Jumper

This was also bought at the same time so it's on the same level of newness as the bag.  In the store I was tossing up between the pink one or the blue one.  Normally I would go for blue as it's a bit safe for me but I loved the pink one more so yeah.  It's very stretchy and very comfortable to wear and since pinks a happy colour (at least for me) hopefully I'll be more happier when I wear it.

 

 

 Hope you all enjoyed this post and have a great weekend :D

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm

Hey

This post is a follow up to the Revlon lipstick review as I bought two products because there was a sale and I hadn't bought anything beauty related in ages and I wanted it (does there need to be any other reason).

Like with the other lipstick I swatched about every colour there was and in the end I picked 'Shameless'.  I've seen bloggers rave about these products and I wanted to have one of my own.  Everybody lately is embracing the dark purple lip look, which I love but am not brave enough to do but I got this colour as it's purple which I love.

Some people are not a fan of it's scent which is very pepperminty but I love it. Peppermint reminds me of candy canes which reminds me of Christmas.  It's very easy to apply,  the crayon like tip makes it easier for me to apply accurately and not look like a complete mess.  For me it does not last very long with it wearing off particularly in the inner part of my bottom lip so I do need to reapply. It also helps to have your lips moisturised so it's easier to apply.

Hope you all enjoyed this post

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Hey

So on Saturday the fam and I went out shopping, firstly because my sister needed to get a ball dress; the experience was a bit of an eye opener for me if you know my sister.  We did stop by Farmers which was good for me as they were having 25% off all Revlon products and I had some gift cards so it was too good and opportunity to miss.

I brought two products, I'll do a post on the other one later on.



Colour 435, Love that Pink

So I pretty much swatched every colour on my hand and out of all of them this one took my fancy the most.  I might of (yes I did) picked this colour because of the name (Love that Pink), as you've seen in my previous post I am a fan of the colour pink.  Despite the name the colour is not really pink, it's more of a red when you look at it.  When compared it to my other lip colours that are very red and pink the colour is very orange which is interesting but still looks nice.

 

The lipstick is really creamy to put on and wear, it's easy to apply and does not wear easily which is a major plus.  I am definitely going back to get more colours.

Parisian Staple

Hey

I recently got a new dress from Farmers which I thought I might share with you all.  I really like it, its very classic, you can wear it anywhere and it sort has a Parisian feel to it; or at least it does to me.

No Issue Striped Skater Dress

Usually $59.99, got it on sale for $41.99

 

I love the classic black and white stripes, which kind of make me look flatter in my stomach region, along with coming in at the waist, which is a big plus.  It's not too short or too long and the capped sleeves add to it's kind of vintage, Parisian feel which I love.

 

This dress is most definitely going to be my current favourite and will probably wear it any chance I get and would go well with some red lippy.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post

New Clothes

Hey

Like I mentioned in a previous post I'm going to a family wedding so I thought I'd share the amazing dress I'm wearing because it's so pretty and also another cool piece of clothing that was really really cheap, which is awesome.

Dress from Forever New
I had originally a cool black dress from Farmers which I was going to wear but it was kind of plain and boring and I wanted something fun and colourful which is exactly what I got. The dress has a very high neck and sort of drapes in the back which I couldn't really show off as it was freezing and I wore my jacket the whole time.  It also comes it at the waist so there's no need for a belt and the dress has a very ethereal quality to it. The dress was quite expensive and hopefully there will be other opportunities to wear it out.

White Blazer from the Warehouse
I first saw this piece at the Warehouse at Takanini and it was only $10! unfortunately there was only one left and not in my size.  However when I went to get the dress above from Sylvia Park we went into the Warehouse there and found some and they were still only $10. I've always loved blazers and wanted to have some but the ones I find are quite expensive so I was understandably excited when I found this.  I fits me really nicely and could really work with any outfit for any occasion.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I recently bought some new beauty products so expect to see them pretty soon ;)
