Do I need this?

Remember when I wanted this Prada beauty? Well whilst I still lust over that, I have a new bag that I want.

Isn't she bright and stunning? Pity the husband doesn't agree that $1000 is reasonable for a small handbag. Pft, what would he know?!?

Nappy Bags

Today, as I was covering reception during lunch, I found my dream nappy bag.

Seeing as though it would be kinda wrong to buy it before I was pregnant (just like I brought the massive car 2 years ago because we *needed* a family car. I sold it after 6 months). Guess I will just save it until the time comes.



PS - just because I am posting about nappy bags does not mean I have anything to share with you all ;) Pin It

Oroton Sale

I love a good online sale. It means I can shop from home (or in this instance, from my desk whilst I eat chinese takeout). So when I recieved the email from Oroton about their christmas sale, I ditched the email, and hot-footed it over there to pick up a few items.

I can't show you the major item I brought, as its for the Mister for our anniversary in February, but I can show you the pretty little present that 'Style Santa' is putting under the tree for me

Now, because I am the sharing kind, and everyone needs a little christmas present from 'Style Santa', here is how I got to save 25% off all accessories. Go to Oroton and sign up to their O-List. Go into their store, either online or in person, and in the checkout type in the promo code of " XMAS25 ".

Last year I brought this handbag

, and saved a whopping $250 off the regular price, thanks to this sale, so it is well worth it. And to justify the expense of the suitcase that I call a handbag, it is the only handbag I have carried all year, whereas in the past I would go through 4 a year!

Prada Love

I think I am in love.

A disagreement of sorts

Photo blatantly stolen from an eBay auction

This evening, whilst sitting on the couch watching Borat, I brought up the subject of my birthday with the husband.

This is how it went

Me: "Darling, you know how you got that Waeco (fridge thing for the car) for your birthday?"

Him: "What do you want?"

Me: "A scarf"

Him: "Go buy one then"

Me: "It's a bit expensive" (Fool! What was I thinking? I should have stopped here)

Him: "How much?"

Me: "$500" (muttered under my breath

Him: some rant about how many sheep we could buy for $500 and how my mum could knit me a scarf...I tuned out at this point, dejected.

Now, incase you hadn't worked it out yet, I have a taste for 'the finer things in life' (which is the polite way of saying I am a brand snob). I love designer items. It makes me feel human in this tiny town I live in.

Now, some might say $500 is a lot to spend on a scarf, but think of the wear I could get out of it? At christmas time I brought a $700 Oroton handbag, claiming I would use it every day (as opposed to changing bags weekly, like I was doing with my cheaper bags). And 6 months in, I haven't changed bags as of yet! I love it. I have had so much wear from it, heck, I even used it as an overnight bag at the hospital the other day (it is that big!). So on that basis, I could get a lot of use from a Burberry scarf.

I think I need to bring up the topic in another way...
