Lust-Haves: I'm not Ginger, but I'm Smart, yeah?

To be honest, I have never taken much notice of the Australian brand, Ginger & Smart. But that all changed when I stumbled across some of the preview photos of their A/W 2012 collection. Dear past self, why did you never notice their gorgeous affinity for prints and colours? Their cheeky mix of materials and intriguing shapes?

Vogue's Online Shopping Night.

I believe this is actually the first post where I have not made some pun-laden, tongue-in-cheek title, because I am just THAT excited about the event to care! Snaps for being literal!

On Wednesday, the 20th November (yes that's tomorrow), Vogue is hosting an online shopping night - a glass of wine, a credit card, countless special offers... this could get dangerous for me. So I am preempting the damage my future self can inflict by trawling through the list of participating brands, and making a, ahem, small selection. 

I love Alannah Hill, and it looks like they're rewarding my love with 20% off everything, and free shipping on all orders.

This swimwear brand is guaranteed to give you street cred at the beach ("beach cred"?). On VOSN they are offering 30% off all purchases, and every purchase will go into a draw to win a $500 e-voucher!

Think structured shapes, fabulous fabrics, and a distinct style. Those who make the first 30 purchases tomorrow night will receive a signature Ellery collar (valued at $95!). And everyone will receive 15% off any full-priced garments, plus be rewarded with a Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil. 

Fleur Wood is going to test our shopping speed, by offering 50% off to the first 20 customers! (up to a value of $2000). Those of us who are not as quick will still receive free shipping on all orders.

I've always wanted to own something, anything, from this brand, and it looks like I will finally bite the bullet tomorrow. Why? They are giving a $100 gift voucher to all customers! (and free shipping).

The Australian equivalent of Topshop (though not as good, I must admit) is offering 15% off all purchases between noon and midnight! Enter code 'sportsgirlonly', plus all purchases will come with a Sportsgirl lip jam gift. 

For the full list of offers, go to the Vogue website! You've been warned: your wallet may never forgive you.

Happy Shopping! xx.

Lust-Haves: the Gift of Giving.

Hello, I'm baaccckk! And you all have Santa Claus to thank for it. 

Over the past week, I have been flipping through magazines, surfing the internet and walking through the shops in search for Christmas inspiration. I was taking so many pictures, bookmarking countless webpages, collecting magazine clippings, and compiling a wishlist (that is ever changing), when I thought, "Why don't I just BLOG about it?!" But because my list is embarrassingly long, I am only going to show you a small snippet of what I'm lusting after. 

And before you put me down as someone who becomes one of those grossly narcissistic, present hoarding, people during Christmas, I do love giving presents too! It's perfect timing that the Finders Keepers Markets are popping up in Sydney this weekend, so I can buy up my presents there!

Clockwise from top left:

Recharge.

Hello lovelies. 

This is a PSA to let you know that I am taking a wee break from blogging. Before you throw bricks at me, I feel terrible about it, and if I wasn't struggling to even keep my eyes open, I would be blogging the life out of me. 

Rest assured, I'll be switched back on in a week or so. So until then, stay cool!

Lust-Haves: Opening Ceremony.

I was tossing up a few themes and ideas in my head for this week's Lust-Haves, but that all got wiped clean when I found myself still salivating (so attractive) over Opening Ceremony's S/S 2012 Lookbook

The cutouts! The colours! The styling! Ohmygawd.

Dear Santa, I have been very good this year.
