A day on the balcony

It's a bit upsetting really, wasting such a fine day indoors...which probably explains the look of misery on my face. I'm sitting here holding a pen in one hand and smacking my forehead with the other for some bright ideas so I figured I needed a breather.

There didn't seem to be enough light on my balcony this morning for better photos but this is probably the first time I've made one consecutive post after the other so I can't say the effort isn't there! I did try to make sure my next few photos were of better quality though. If you can't already tell, I've even placed sheets of A4 paper in the backdrop in an attempt to brighten up the pictures (I won't lie, it felt like a fantastic idea at the time) but natural light didn't seem to want to cooperate today.... probably because it knows I'm procrastinating.

So here's the story behind the haul. My mum made me promise that I wouldn't buy any more cosmetics unless I was running low on something essential which made sense because vanity was getting a bit out of hand. Then just last week I recieved an invitation from one of my best friends who works at L'Oreal to attend a Prestige Cosmetics sale. I gave the invitation to my mum instead figuring that she'd make much better use of it then I would.

And of course, she came home with a bag, no, a sack full of Lancome and Biotherm products that afternoon (well now I know where I get my hoarding from) as well as a few YSL gifts for me. As much as I would've liked to accompany you at that sale - Thankyou so much mum (:

Peeptoe's Summer Launch party was a lot of fun but I think I spent a bit too much time with the cocktails and cupcakes so I didn't manage to get very many photos (no surprise there) but I did want to say thank you to Peeptoe for the invitation and a great night!

And seeing as my mid-semester exams are right around the corner I will try to squeeze in two entries this week before my two-week hiatus so I will see you all very, very soon (:

Thankyou Peeptoe!

I guess a good thing about the change in season is that I can finally fill my wardrobe with silk and chiffon again!

I actually scheduled myself in for a long and lengthy blog post today (and an afternoon of TV and rice crisps) then moments ago I recieved a call letting me know that my blog was given a shout out by Peeptoe and that I am invited to their exclusive event for their Summer Line Launch tonight!

I've picked a wonderful shoe-crazed friend as my plus one for the night, time to get glammed and ready!

Thank you PeepToe!

I know I've been a bit low on the blogging front but after an arduous four days of back-to-back work at the Peeptoe Warehouse I'm back and I've managed to reward myself with two pairs from the sale and the new Bardot Drape Front Blazer which we just got in last week at Bardot. I know I've been bad... very, very bad :(

And if you missed out on the sale you can still shop in the comfort of your own home (and your jammies!) at the Peeptoe Online Sale which just started today!

Although it's been a long week of work I did enjoy my time at Peeptoe, both my feet and I managed to meet some wonderful new friends amongst all the frenzy.. but being surrounded by shoes day in and day out definitely would take a toll on my wallet hahaha

I haven't had much time for a proper post and I know I've promised a few DIYs. I'm in the process of figuring out how to go about a step-by-step entry and even though the warehouse sale is out of the way I'm back to work at Bardot and tutoring this week and I can already feel myself falling behind at uni so please forgive me until then!

And I hope these swatches will suffice for now:
