Sportsgirl was my regular haunt when I was studying in Melbourne and I loved the good news that they can now ship internationally.It also appears to me that they accept international applications for this competition, so it should be a fun activity for a lot of fashion bloggers!

Be fast though, application closes this Friday, 28th August! Good luck!

Shop My Closet - Christian Louboutins Size 38.5 for Sale

My heart bleeds as I put this up. The boy meaning to surprise me got me a pair of Louboutins.... only in the wrong size. I think the disappointment of receiving a pair of louboutins then realising that it does not fit is worse than not receiving a present. But it was still good effort on the part of The boy, who reads Science Daily and thinks he should wear XL Polo shirts when he really should just wear M. Obviously, I am rubbing off on him and the consolation is that I get to sell this pair then use the money to buy whatever I want with it.

Confessions of a Shopaholic- A True Story.

I went out on Saturday with the intention to only spend time at the hairstylist's. Coloring and cutting my hair on a Saturday afternoon is a good way to keep me out of the malls I convinced myself. Of course, if you know where my stylist is located, you will laugh in my face and tell me that I am being totally lame. Arriving a good 45 minutes early for my appointment, I decided to cross over to Paragon and get myself Starbucks. Again, I had talked myself into believing that it is safe to do so because the GSS is officially over and there will only be non exciting, tried to death pieces that nobody wants left on the floor. Now why would I like anything that fits that description right?

Wrong. I walked into Calvin Klein and found a cowl neck silk blouse cooing my name the instant I stepped in. Good. I decided. It's on 50% off. It's guilt free shopping in my head if the item is at least 50% off. The very helpful salesgirl took the blouse from my hand and encouraged me to continue browsing around. Now... remembering that I picked up that blouse the instant I walked in, there is no reason to not continue explore what I might unearth in the boutique right? So I continued to browse through the racks and found a pair of white jeans.

"Hmmm...." so says the head. "My Bettina Lianos are getting a little loose and a pair of white jeans is an absolute essential in a wardrobe. How am I going to survive just on about a pair of grey jeans, 2 pairs of grey jeans and only 6 pairs of almost identical blue jeans in different cuts? And of course, it is 50% off too...and if I add both items ups, it does not even cost as much as what the blouse would have originally cost! Bargain!" Secretly in my head, I was punching the air in triumph.

Of course I walked out of the store with both items and with a slight skip in my steps and made my way to the hair stylist. At the salon, I started trying trading stories of my scores for this GSS season with my stylist.

A D&G Skirt (unworn).
A pair of Balenciaga pants (unworn).
A Diesel Top (Worn once with the risk of passing out because it was XS)
3 Mango Belts out of which only 1 was worn.
1 Mango Cropped Jacket (Worn once? Maybe?)
A pair of Zara Limited Edition shoes (unworn)
A bikini from Topshop (Unworn)

I broke out at cold sweat at this point with contempt and disgust with myself.

Are these really scores if I haven't even brought myself to touch them? So much for a streamlined closet, buying only what I absolutely adore and buying only what will fit me perfectly. Out of the cash I spent, the only item that was worn more than 3 times, that I really liked and fit into the current season is the $29.90 Studded Mango Belt.

To pay tribute to it, here it is.



I am still appalled by the amount I have spent and that only $29.90 is justified. I am going to work that pair of Balenciaga pants tomorrow... I promise...

Miuccia Prada does thrashy... with no success...

Miuccia Prada must have elegance and class flowing through her veins. In an interview, she said that she wanted to do thrashy sexy for her F/W 2009 collection. But her interpretation was anything but that. If anything, she must be the first designer that made bra flashing tasteful. Her campaigns featuring flat chested models made me and my fellow Cup A cup sisters scream in joy. Eat your heart out Pammy!







On the same note, her interpretation of biker chic for the bags was a fusion of spunk and rock & roll, but totally wearable for daily basis. In my last post, I mentioned that I really wanted the Coach Studded Sabrina, but having seen these babies, I feel myself wavering.



Is this too much of a fad or should I pass this up for a more classic bag? Suggestions?

Coach Studded Sabrina Bag

This is lust.



I love the edgy rock and roll look but will prefer to play it down since my job still dictates that I have to be taken seriously, well, to a certain degree. This bag is the perfect vehicle to channel rock and roll chick in me without undermining myself. Not that I care, but past experiences taught me that things will move more easily if I take a step back and care about what others think.

I know some people might argue that I could save my Rock Chick look for after work hours, but the fun comes in dressing to push the limits. It's fun and it gives your work outfit character, although this is not recommended for bankers or lawyers of course.

That's perhaps why I never aspired to be a banker or any other occupations that comes attached with uniforms. I needed a job that will go well with this bag.

Shop My Closet - Chanel Bag SOLD

Yes my lovelies... another Chanel bag has to go from my closet.

This one doubles up as a clutch for me on most nights. I simply cannot get into carrying the bag on my shoulder when the strap is not long enough to be double wound. It's an awkward length for me and although the teenagers carry it off so well, I fear coming across more like their Mothers. Besides, it's never quite enough for me to lug my things around in and so I made the rational decision to purge it from my wardrobe.

So here it is, underutilized and up for grab at a fraction of its price. The gold ware is still shiny and there are no scratches or whatever so on the bag.











It comes with its dustbag and authenticity card. Hologram sticker is left intact and matches the number on the authenticity card.

Bag Measures:
10" in length
7" in height
1.5" in width
chain: 34" in length.
Price: USD$899 Plus USD$35 for EMS shipping.

Feel free to ask any questions and drop me an email if you are keen on the item. Thanks!
