I'm usually never disconcerted about the idea of being home but right now, I wish my long weekend getaway never ended. This passing month has been like no other; life has changed, things have shaped up and I find myself in high spirits. I'm happy, so incredibly happy.

Which is probably beyond everybody's concern haha. What's been of concern lately though is the holding capacity of the vanity desktop. My assembly of things seems so nonsensical but I'm all out of ideas, I simply do not have enough space in this room! No room in the room!

Anonymous: You're sooo cute! :D I need some help picking out MAC cosmetics :( I'm after a dewy kind of effect and I dont like the feel of too much foundation on me but I go red very easily when i drink alcohol so I need something that can counteract that. The last time I went to a Mac counter, I got Select Tint SPF 15 in NC40 which i think is pretty light and i did like it, but it didnt cover enough.. :( Sorry for the long post! HAHA
Hi there fellow NC40-er! This may or may not be relevant to you but taking Zantac 30mins prior to drinking will help reduce redness and may save you from playing trial and error at the MAC counter! I haven't tried many MAC foundations myself, I find that my skin is pretty sensitive with MAC foundations and most formulas cause me to break out but if you're unsure of what to get you can request to have a sample of all different things to bring home. Some things I would reccomend though may be the Chanel Pro Lumiere foundation. It feels so light on your skin, the coverage is buildable and when I use it I tend to not need concealer.

There's also the cream-to-powder option - the Chanel Teint Innocence Naturally Luminous Compact. Even though the foundation itself is described as 'sheer coverage' the formula is a bit more creamy with a bit more coverage, the coverage is also buildable without being too heavy on your skin. It's also in a little compact handy for touch ups when you're out and about :D Both these foundations however, may be great for a dewy finish and good for normal/dry skin but combination/oily skin may need a blot here and there throughout the day.

For a more cost efficient option there's good ol' Revlon Colorstay foundation. Although it may seem thick you'd only need to buff the tiniest amount of foundation to cover any imperfections - but the finish is much more matte than it is dewy. It's quite a good, inexpensive, full coverage option though!

Anonymous: anniee, what shops do you go into at parra? and whats your suggestion on buying bardot clothes? like what clothes do you think looks good at your store???
Shops I go into at parra? Oh boy. On my lunch breaks I wander just about anywhere! Sportsgirl, Myer, DJ's, Forever New, Witchery, Seduce, Abyss, Kookai, Valleygirl, even GP despite the mild awkwardness Hahaha, my dire need to shop conquers all tension! I still stand by my last Bardot picks from a couple entries back as what I think looks good at the store, we have quite a lot of new arrivals that are yet to be updated online that tickle my fancy, once they're up I'll find a home for them in an entry or two.

Vivian: Hi Annie, I was wondering where you bought your shoes (especially the wedge booties) from?
All my wedged booties have been from either Top Shop, Urban outfitters or Shoesone, I haven't even gotten around to wearing most of them :(

Anonymous: hey annie bardot has these suede knee high boots that are suuuuuperrrrr comfy. i wantttt!!!! how much discount do you get off them?
Those suede boots are pretty nifty aren't they! Since the suede is fairly thin they're also convertible into suede ankle booties! Bardot staff recieve 50% off our footwear.

Anonymous: annie you're so beautifulllll P.S you never told us about your trip to fiji!! how was it? did you take heaps of photos? my friends and i were thinking of going there during midsem break so if you could please do a post about it soon =)Anonymous: hi again annie!!!! i posted a question about fiji last time. hope you get around to answering soon =) i also just wanted to ask you which airline you flew on, how was food, service etc
And now to finally make a long postponed insert about my trip to Fiji! Fiji was breathtakingly beautiful. Waking up from an afternoon nap along the beach or by the pool felt like waking up in a postcard. Fiji would have been great as a romantic getaway (which explains why it was flooded with couples and newlyweds) but as for travelling with family - after all the snorkelling, kayaking and other fun things were done and dusted my brother and I really didn't have that much to do. You can only have so much of the ocean and pool before your fingertips begin to prune and so much relaxation before you miss the fun and laughter of .. people other than your sibling LOL I would definitely travel there again though, maybe with different company haha but for the most part I loved Fiji!

The main pool of our hotel

Hammocks by the pool!

Giant brother and I

In our dorky snorkelling gear

The uncontrollable hammock that I kept falling out of

We travelled there first class V-Australia so the food, service and everything else was exceptional but since it was a smaller airline there were no first class lounges for V-Australia at the airport. I managed to take some photos while we were flying hehehe

Entree during The Proposal hehe

easily amused asian girl + reclining chair = enough inflight entertainment

..dessert and a photo in the ladies restrooms :P

I also just got this I've yet to review. I assure you the make-up ban is still in play, NARS Angel Heart Liquid Liner was just an exception!

Too many photos and a DIY

Updated with some questions I've missed!

An old shirt, machine-washable acrylic paint, scissors, paper, tape, pencil, paintbrush plus 5 minutes of your day and you've got yourself the simplest little DIY.

I also whipped out my scissors and some chalk to shred an old pair of black jeans. Surprisingly enough I'm becoming quite the pants girl - which makes me wonder - what's happening to the world?

Things to do: Fix the car, get my fulls, post up items for blogshop, buy that desk and nailpolish post up next.

Questions, Questions!

Anonymous: i was just wondering, seeing you friend works at model co would she know whether the Model Co Turbo Lash Wand actually works? or even better have you tried it :)?
I haven't tried the Model Co Turbo Lash Wand but my Model Co friend Wendy suggests that you're better off not grabbing the Turbo Lash Wand and invest in the Shu Uemura heated curler instead which surprisingly isn't all that pricey!

And from these piccies you would've noticed the dissapearing of my faux bangs, those clip-ins can be found at market city for a measley $15 and they've proven to be lots of fun! Hehehe

Anonymous: where did you get your black and white striped mini dress from? ITS SOO CUTE :D
I'm sorry I missed your question before! The dress is actually navy and white, it was on sale for $15 at supre! :P

Anonymous: in one of your previous posts, you wore a pair of shoesone shoes. just wanted to know how you found your way around the korean website and how the shipping and fees were.
I actually don't reccommend ordering from the site unless you have a friend that could help you find your way around it. We ordered together and although the things were quite cheap, shipping fees were quite high, our parcel took a long time to arrive and was left at the door on arrival - exposed to the dangers of the world!

Anonymous: how much is the shu uemura lash curler?
I think it's around $30-$40 or so but I haven't actually checked.

Anonymous: where did you get the braclet from? where you drew the chanel symbol on the shirt
They were from Equip, I bought them a long while ago though. They're actually all scratched up close!

Anonymous: Aww Annie you look amazing! You should seriously do a post about your diet and provide some tips as to how you stay so thin! xx
I appreciate that you thought of me as thin, I really do! Because as decieving as these photos may be, I'm actually quite a meaty girl. I can hardly pull my old skinnies past my kankles and I definitely do not remember the last time I could comfortable slip into size 6 clothing. My golden years have left me to soon! But I guess I really only have myself to blame - I'm not afraid to wolf down fast food and can't seem to fit an excercise regime into my week. Laziness has defeated me.

Anonymous: annie you're so beautifulllll P.S you never told us about your trip to fiji!! how was it? did you take heaps of photos? my friends and i were thinking of going there during midsem break so if you could please do a post about it soon =) Ooh! Midsem breaks are nearing, I should post about Fiji soon - it completely slipped my mind!

Anonymous: hey annie sorry if this sounds a bit stalkerish :P but when u went to future music festival a couple of weeks back u wore over the knee high socks & ive been searching for affordable ones do u have any suggestions? sorry if it sounds like a dumb question
Those thigh high socks were my saviour! They left me with clean legs after a long day of galavanting around the dirt :D They were super cheap, about $6 or so from Paddy's Market.

Anonymous: hey annie. just wondering if they still have the bardot no.9 singlet in the parra store?
Yes we still do!

And to those who have commented with their tumblr, I've been meaning to reply but I can't figure out my way around tumblr for the life of me! Do I... type it in formspring? Mm. This is embarressing LOL.

I've also come to the realization of my over usage of the word 'actually'

Upside down pineapple cake

It's been too long. Life has turned upside down during this past month of hiatus, but, big blue "New Post" button - we will no longer be estranged! I won't stand for it! It'll be a quick post today but I'll be sure to make posts a regular thing, again.

Life in a nutshell: Uni, stocktake at work, sometimes I forget to breathe.

Since my last banter my teenage years have also left me :( but on the upside I have some birthday goodies to share, without this I can't think of much else that would be blog-worthy besides the withdrawal symptoms from this make-up ban!

Fiona and Amy obviously agree that I need to do more for my hygiene, but thats what friends are for hahaha. Thankyou for helping me conquer my long covet list of LUSH :) I've yet to use them all so I can't say much apart from how they all smell amazing.

My search for 'My Private Jet' is over and it's even found a new friend in 'Mad as a Hatter' from OPI's Alice in Wonderland collection, part of my birthday present from my ModelCo friend (who should really be working at OPI) Wendy. It's possibly the most beautiful OPI to ever exist, thankyou!

Okay maybe I fibbed a little. To pass up the Azalea Blossom and Ripe Peach blush ombres at MAC would be the most heinous act! Laura's haul posts weren't helping either, hauls can be so toxic. I still consider myself on a ban though, I've been doing well. I think ultimately though, no rehab could fix me!

Questions, Questions!

Anonymous: Hey annie just wondering if you can help me out. From your recent post, i heard you bought the st550 samsung camera (the one with the two LCD screens). I have one myself although when I upload the photos onto my laptop, my photos dont turn out as VIBRANT as it looks on the camera. Do you have any idea how to change the settings for this? Thankyou so much!
I'm not sure if I'm much help because I'm still fiddling around with the settings myself but you can adjust the colour of the photos when its on camera mode. There should be a little arrow at the bottom of the screen & when you press it a little menu pops up. Click on the fifth button from the left on the menu, click on RGB and you can customize your own RGB, hopefully that helps a lil'!

Anonymous: Hi Annie, how much do you need to spend at Bardot to get the vip card?
You spend $200 or more for the VIP card then you recieve 10% off everything from your first purchase (that includes sale items!) and 10% off all full priced items everytime after that.

Anonymous: hey annie, where do you buy your jewellery stand?
I bought it from fairfield markets, but it's been a couple of years since then. I'm actually considering selling mine.

Speaking of selling, I currently have a little somethin' in the works, hopefully it will be up and running soon!

What's a boy like you, doing in a place like this?

(Forever21 Fringe vest, Shoesone Suede Booties, Sportsgirl accessories)

There's less than 2 weeks until uni starts again, 3 weeks until my birthday and I'm also meant to be graduating this year...isn't that absurd? But I'm prolonging my stay for another semester or so, I've picked three subjects for the upcoming semesters instead of four and I vow to use my time wisely and blog - I mean - no! - get my GPA up and get some direction! Working at Bardot is wonderful but it's really not a career. Okay enough about my 'future', I'm getting forehead wrinkles just thinking about it.

I still haven't blogged about my trip to Fiji or uploaded pictures of the things I want to sell but I should get to it before my break ends, not like it mattered much but my conscience says 'do it!'.

The Ladakh sale was surprisingly dissapointing this time around. The $10-20 tops & bottoms rule no longer applies, now theres $20 tops, $30 bottoms, $40 denim and $60 dresses including old stock lying around, now for a higher price- it's preposterous! I did pick out a top I really liked though (right) and the blazer on the left was my best buy this week!

Anonymous: hey annie since you work at bardot would you be able to tell us about new arrivals and which things you like from bardot? i totallllyyyy love your style =)
To be honest I feel like I don't have a sense of 'style' or what have you - I hardly ever shop beyond the store now :( but on the upside it means I can answer your question in a matter of seconds! We get new arrivals every week and our website is a tad delayed but here are some of our New Arrivals that I am loving (and I tossed in the Drape Chambray & Cinderbox jackets because I still love them and I needed to fill some space!). The Chambray contrast jacket did look odd at first but after wearing it for a while you grow to love it! And oh Louis Sateen dress! If there is an occasion and the weather permits it I'll definitely take you out!

This is why I can't save. As soon as the paycheque rolls in it rolls right back to the store :(

First row: Chambray contrast jacket $99.95, Drape Chambray jacket $99.95, Frill jacket $79.95
Second row: Waterfall leather jacket $269.95, Mixed Fabric cardi $79.95, Swan Lake dress $89.95
Third row: Louis Sateen dress $89.95, Leather leggings $149.95, Cinderbox jacket $89.95

I also got a new case for my Iphone, about time!

21st post and jeans!

(Bardot Ripped Stella Skinny jeans, Bardot No.9 Singlet, Anise throw, Diva cuff, Urbanoutfitters gloves, Top Shop Ava Lace up boots.)

I did it. It took a lot of willpower (and physical power! haha) but I've squeezed into my first pair of jeans in three years, and I surprisingly liked them. After helping one girl after another into our Stella skinnies and feeling content for the day to serve such satisfied customers, this week I decided I wanted in.

I also ended up purchasing the Olympus camera... and returning it. The camera produced large photos, had a wide angle lens and great settings but the colour of the flash made my pictures turn out dull and unsightly. Before all this, I've walked into JB looking for the samsung st500 and with each visit came "we don't sell that camera" suddenly now when asking for a full refund the store manager was able to make a few calls and place an order on the st500 for me. Persistence has paid off! I'm kind of bummed that the Olympus and I didn't work out though :(

I've yet to say thankyou for the heads up on Formspring so, thankyou for those that responded! But instead of creating an account I think I'll just try to do some blog housekeeping more often. Not that I wouldn't mind the idea but I do read all my comments so an extra account on the side would just be another username and password to remember.

[EDIT] I'll keep this section updated until I've made another post :)

Anonymous: annie are you still gonna sell some stuff on ebay? ive waiting quite a while :(

I'm so sorrrrry! I've packed all the things I've wanted to sel in boxes and my friend Wendy and I were planning to set up a stall at Glebe to sell all our things.. but she's in China now haha I have a pair of sunglasses I'll post up next to sell though!

Anonymous: annie do you have a lookbook account?

Yes I do but it's embarressing and I'm not going to share it haha. I've had it for a long time, too long actually, so long ago that I can't stand to look at the pictures I've posted.

Anonymous: heyss =) what is that ring in ur last post? is it a ring even? LOLS looks purtttyyy =)
I'm surprised you could even tell I was wearing a ring from all that pixelation! But yes I was and yes, I should also repaint my nails hehehe

Anonymous: Annie I want to buy from forever 21, but I've read reviews and they're so bad :( And I know you've said they're a trusted site. How long does it take to get shipped over here! HELP! PLEASE!

I feel like a bad online shopper for saying this but it never occured to me to read up on reviews for forever21. I just went ahead and assumed that being a well known chain store would mean that I could shop online securely! Luckily I had an okay experience with the site. They took a while to ship, about 2 weeks, but there were no glitches. Once my package was shipped I recieved tracking information so I could be updated on the status of my order. Everything arrived perfectly but like any other american website, postage and handling costs were a bit heavy. I tried to order over $100.01 to get the $35 flat rate for shipping but besides that f21 are having a further sale on their sale items so now is a good time to place an order! If there are any problems you can contact them directly here.

Anonymous: whats your ebay account name? can you link it pls?

Hey anonymous, my family and I actually share an ebay account so I'm not too sure if they would like it if I linked the account to my blog but for the meantime if you wanted to know the ebay seller of any items I've purchased off ebay let me know and I'll be happy to share :)

Anonymous: what camera did you use to take those photos with? if its the olympus then it looks good!! im thinking of getting a sony camera do you know if sonys any good?
The camera I actually use to take my blog photos with is the Canon IXUS 90 IS which is a great camera but it belongs to my parents haha. I have a friend who works at a camera store who advised me to not get a Sony camera because it's not durable. I personally don't know anything about cameras so I'm not the best person to ask haha but what I do know is that my Sony Cybershot only lasted me about a year before it curdled.

j: hey annieo (: i love the double-finger ring and am contemplating purchasing one myself but i find that all the rings i buy from diva tarnish/change colour within a week (probably from my sweaty hands LOL eww i know)! do you have any tips on how to prevent this or do yours do the same? also, i absolutely love the bag you had a few posts back with the studs on the bottom. can i ask where you got it from? thanks lovely
In this weather - who doesn't have sweaty hands! hahaha. My lovely friend Laura used to work at Diva and posted a comment right after about the cleaning cloths to stop the rings from tarnishing. You can also try coating the back and insides of the ring with clear nailpolish (it'll also stop your fingers from turning green!) or you can store your rings in fabric pouches.

Tarnishing can also be fixed! If your rings are already tarnished and you'd like to fix them there are a couple of remedies you could try.

For silver rings first you need to clean all the dirt off your ring by dipping a soft cloth in some mild dish soap water and rub the dirt off your ring. After this is done, rinse the ring in cold water and dry with another soft clean cloth.

Then make a paste consisting of three parts baking soda and one part water. Apply some paste to a clean soft cloth and rub the ring to remove the tarnish. When the cloth turns gray, use a different area of the cloth. When finished, rinse the ring in cold water and buff it dry with a soft clean cloth.

For copper or brass rings, pour enough white vinegar in a container to cover your rings. Add about a teaspoon of salt. Swirl your rings around and tarnish should disappear within a minute. Rinse with cold water and dry with a clean soft cloth!

Oh! and my mum actually bought the bag for me when she went to Taiwan! They didn't actually have enough luggage space to bring home everything all at once so our family friends who stayed at Taiwan with my parents came home a week later with some more Taiwan goodies!

Anonymous: annie!! pleaseee pleaseeeeee post a photo of your overflowing wardrobe and ur envious shoe collection!! x which bardot store do you work at?

Ah! I can't believe I missed this question the first time around, sorry for the late reply!

Hmmm, I'm not sure how I'm going to post a photo of my wardrobe, my wardrobe is built into my room and takes up one whole wall and is closed by three sliding mirror panels so I can't open up the entire wall all at once I have to slide the panels to open a particular section of my wardrobe and from this angle you wouldn't be able to make out what everything was but I'll try to figure something out... eventually hahaha

And I work at Bardot in Parramatta!

[/EDIT]

P.S I don't remember exactly where I found this picture from, but it makes me drool. Every. time.

Also on the lookout for OPI's My Private Jet!

Never mind the groceries

[EDIT]

BARDOT NEWS!

& also, I haven't been able to comments from my last entry recently because it tends to be glitchy for me but I do remember somebody asking about a necklace they needed for a black & white themed party (this weekend I think?), would I be able to know what outfit you were planning to wear? Only if it's okay by you and fingers crossed I'm not too late! [/EDIT]

Things to save up for.
Not really anything beauty or fashion related this time around. I've just got some pretty beat up furniture to replace and a camera that has lost it's will to live so here goes my shopping list. I also realized I never blogged about my trip to Fiji, its been a while since I've filed a post under 'Life'. I'll do another update about beautiful Fiji soon :)

1. Olympus u-7020: He's maybe not the best looking camera but he's got some impressive specs! 12MP, 7.1x Optical Zoom, 3in LCD and a Panoramic/Wide angle lens
2. IKEA - Expedit Desk Combination: Time to replace my run down baby pink desk from way back when.
3. Nail polish rack and new jewelry stands: I need a home for my pile of polish and it's about time to clear out some of the old rusted jewellery!
4. Acne Atacoma Lace up metal wedge ankle boot: And last but not least - it never hurts to treat yourself to a goodlooking pair of wedges right? Oohhh, ever so famous Acne wedges, the things I would do for you....I guess they can wait though :P

leopard fever!

I hate my picture quality so much right now.
My camera actually broke so I'm on the lookout for a new digicam, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

So a couple of weeks back Nina and I were spectators at the auditions for Australia's Next Top Model and Charlotte Dawson's jacket brought out the leopard in me! The girls that audtioned were stunning each with a never-ending pair of pins, ahh - how wonderful it would be to be tall, beautiful and fabulous!

L-R: Charlotte Dawson, Alex Perry, Sarah Murdoch, Jas Daly

With that aside, it's housekeeping day! This looks like one bender of a clean up, so to make things a smidge easier I'll reply on blogs for those who have posted a link, as for the remainder of q's- here it goes!

Anonymous: Hi Annie ! Just wondering what is the most expensive item of clothing in your closet?
My most expensive item of clothing has got to be my Ginger & Smart O-Dako Silk dress for $585 (if you'd like a piccie I'll tuck it somewhere in the next post for you!). It was actually a gift from my mother.

Anonymous: Hello Annie =) which sites do you go on to shop online and which online stores have you ordered from. i love online shopping but i dont know how safe it is and im scared =/ oh and have fun in fiji!!!
safe sites that I know/ordered from include: Urban Outfitters, Top Shop, Forever 21, ASOS, American Apparel, Shopbop, Karmaloop, Net-a-porter, MyCatwalk, Maximillia, Stylestalker, Freez, Designerstirredwithvintage, Revolveclothing, Chickdowntown and Missselfridge there's also ebay of course but I've had a few glitches with ebay sellers before. To be safe only buy from trusted sellers with high ratings and good reviews!

Anonymous: IM OBSSESSED WITH LUSH!!!!!! but its pretty expensive, do you think its wise to buy LUSH products online?
Personally I wouldn't buy things online but if you don't have access to a store and you're willing to risk not liking the product then the LUSH website is definitely a safe place to shop but you won't be able to smell and touch your products before buying and if you live in a hot area there's the risk of the product melting before it gets to your door!

Anonymous: Hi annie, this is totally un-shoe related, but since u have already made ur decison :) i was thinking maybe you should only show a few posts per page like 2-3 maybe? Because everytime i come on ur site (which is alot) it looads alllll of the pics from previous posts which can be really hurtfull to our bandwith lol :(
Awww I read this comment when I was in fiji and I felt so bad hahaha so after reading it I signed in and changed my layout to only a couple of entries per page (there's still a tonne of pictures to load though - eek!)

Anonymous: How did u buy things from urbanoutfitters btw? thanks !!
After I placed my order I actually got sent an email asking for a number they could use to get in contact with the cardholder so I had to email them the country code + area code + phone number for them to be able to get in contact with from America. There are a few downsides to ordering from UO: I love their Jewellery stands but they're not able to ship them to Australia, shipping charges were quite heavy, quite a bit of wait for delivery but every time I had to get in contact with them by email their responses were almost immediate :)

P: hey annie :) its valentines day coming up soon do you know what youre getting for your bf? and what did you want your bf to get you? my bf is taking me shopping but i have NOOOO idea on what i want!!!!
If I didn't know any better, judging from the choice of letter for your name and the question I would think this question was posted by Paul himself LOL I actually already got Paul an extra early Valentines day present, I'll post up a picture next entry!

Anonymous: hey annie are you just a christmas casual or a permanent casual at bardot? do you get discounts?
I'm a permanent casual at Bardot my anonymous friend! And yes I do recieve discounts :)

Cherri: ANNIEO!!! On your old blog AGESSSS ago someone asked you to do an entry about Autumn/Winter trends what influenced your picks? how did you know what was going to be 'in' for the season and COULD YOU DO ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ENTRIES REAL SOON!! PRETTY PLEASE XP
Sorry Cherri I had to cut down your comment a bit but I've left the questions :) Since I enjoyed the last I'll probably do another and as for knowing what was going to be 'in' - there is never a knowing what other people were going to like. There were things I was intrigued by and you may have liked the same things I did for the season but others probably didn't, I'm not here to be a trendsetter - I'm here to tell you I'm fond of many different things!

^_^: does it bother you when girls that read your blog copy you? ive loss count of how many bloggers i know that read your blog are now into the things ure into like makeup, fashion, studding, booties/wedges and even doing your signature hair to the side hairstyle. do u notice it at all or is this the first time u've heard of it?
Makeup and fashion are two categories of just about every girl's common interests. Fashion trends change with the season and people are more than likely going to wound up lusting over similar things. Everyone has their own rights to what they want and what they're influenced by, to discourage people from how they express themselves would just be ridiculous! As for my 'signature hairstyle' I can't even claim it my own, my mother originally sported a much more polished version of the do for a formal event and I've stuck with it for years but I've merely just been a loyal fan!

Anonymous: Hey annie you work at bardot, how come you dont wear any bardot jeans? or jeans at all?
I've mentioned this on my old blog before, I try to avoid jeans. I just don't have the right shape for them and lately I've been straying from shorts too :( a sign that I haven't excercised enough these holidays!

Kisskissxx

Decisions, decisions!

My mother thinks they're both god-awful..

But my sights are set and I must have a pair! I just haven't decided which ones :(
Please help me decide and cast your votes!

1st Pair or 2nd Pair?

Housekeeping entry will be next but I need to make this urgent decision before I move on,
All my love!

****UPDATE****
Thankyou for all the responses, it made my decision much more easier to make! (Yes, even the response that agreed with my mother Hahaha!)

It's currently 2:10am and I'm dashing to the airport in 2 hours for Fiji so I quickly commited to buying my items and ended up purchasing the 1st pair (from above) as well as these:

and my toes are tingling with excitement!
Thankyou again for all your help and I'll see you all very, very soon :)
All my love! No, really, all my love - ALL OF IT!
