I spent $34.95 at the sales

Yep that's right, that's all I spent, even though I got given a whole heap of money for Christmas (thanks Mum and Henry's Mum, now I have enough money for Tokyo, wooohooo!!!)

I showed restraint and only bought 3 things, even though I could have and would have normally gone crazy.

This is what I bought:

Ahhh how I love the $5 sale rack at Diva. I never ever buy their stock at full price, I always wait for the sale rack. Their stuff is so cheaply made and always breaks, and if it's anything like Sportsgirl who I hear wont buy from their jewellery supplier unless the items are going to be sold to them for under 50 cents each then even the $5 is giving Diva a mighty profit. This necklace was down from $19.95 to $5, bargain!

My favourite item from the day, Shakuhachi splash dyed gladiator sandals, down from $50 to $15 at MYL boutique. I will show you an amazing outfit with them ASAP! Want to know something funny? I had to photoshop out a huge chocolate icecream drip from my foot I didn't notice untill I looked at the photo just now. How long did I walk around with icecream on my foot? Luckily it missed the shoes.

Lastly I bought this book I have wanted for ever and ever at Sportsgirl of all places. The cheap date guide to style. It was down from $45 to $14.95, another serious bargain. It contains interviews with everyone from Karl Lagerfeld to Chloe Sevigny and even Mischa Barton, not to mention my favourite, the late Isabella Blow.

Ohhh and take a look at what my Mum bought me for Christmas. A keyboard! It even has a stand. Now I can practice piano again (umm I am not very good and I am very rusty) Thanks Mum.

  4. Oh wow! What fantastic finds. And I agree with your approach to Diva. At Witchery I managed to buy $480 worth of stock for $120. Which is pretty enormous. Not close to $34 but for me, pretty good ;)

  14. Oh how wonderful to have made you $$ cash quota! My Miss Four has been squirreling away every cent since I told her if she saved for Japan I could take her to Sanrio Town! Great bargains there, I haven't been game enough to hit the shops yet. I don't really have the room for anything else either though. Lol

  15. Ohhhhh!!!!! Cute shoes!!!! I really want to hit the sales here but I have no idea where to start!

    I can't believe the stinginess of Sportsgirl as I find them so overpriced as it is.

    Have a great new year Hayley!
