Saturday Shopping - Live Sale...

We went to Garden City today - by "we" I mean hubby & I - in search of a new hoodie jumper for himself as his current one is beginning to look like he should just be wearing it at home!

After my obligatory regular size, skim milk Voltage coffee from Gloria Jeans we went to LIVE as I knew they were having a sale (I mean, who can say no to sale shopping? It's practically free!).

I perused the ladies section and found a few gorgeous sale items that literally had me foaming at the mouth! I found these two skirts - a Lakadh skirt and this other black one at MAD prices that fit great!

This one is a silk fabric that comes with the belt. Once you pop it on the belt sort of rouches the top part and best of all it is both sorta animal print AND has pockets (great to put those swipey work passes into! I think it'll be a great summer work skirt as it's sorta corporate but nice, floaty and a lil bit feminine! Oh - it was reduced from $60 to $30! For Lakadh! the picture seriously doesn't do it justice as its really soft and flowy and whilst in the photo it may look 'wide', once i put it on it drapes and sits absolutely beautifully and with the top rouching part + belt is seriously slimming!

 I also tried on this black pencil which is seriously fitted and is satin with two rows (one on either side) of gathered chiffon panels on the front... it was a size 7 which sort of made me think twice about trying it on (i'm usually an Australian size 8/XS -S) as who needs to be depressed in the changing rooms (Live usually stocks items in small sizing) but this one fit PERFECTLY! I must say it is SERIOUSLY fitted - but so HOT! I think it is a little too dressy for work but i think with my black or berry bustier scalloped Bardot top it may look rather sexy! And at a reduced price of $20 (from $60) i would be a FOOL to not buy it!
The black skirt - cute right?

And all this shopping by me doesn't mean that Adam left empty handed - no way; he bought a scrummy pair of idigo Nobody jeans... and we even found him a hoodie at City Beach Surf store... which he is wearing as i type!



Chat to you all soon - hope your weekend is filled with smiles & shopping!

Give it up to MizLed... AGAIN!

I tempted myself into heading to Maylands and into MizLed on Saturday afternoon… I actually hadn’t been into the store before and after chatting a few times to Melissa over the phone and over Facebook I was SO looking to putting a face to the voice!


Alas she was on 2 weeks leave (on holiday to Hawaii the lucky ducky!) but the lovely Tracey was very helpful! I must say that I will DEFINITELY being going back there! I tried on a gorgeous black Reverse strapless dress but don’t have any little 'get togethers' planned soon so decided against it!

I did however allow myself to try on the Reverse branded denim. I tried on their ripped jeans… I originally tried these (see below) ones on but they had that same faded look on the back and I was not very keen on it; I found them really stretchy so you’d probably go down a size when trying these on!



Next I tried the faded black and the really black ones – I was amazed that I really liked them on (the really black ones) – I think with my black pumps and a funky top I will totally get quite a bit of wear out of them! Plus I know they’ll look great with my ballet flats + shirt and my Bardot Biker jacket!

I found the black ones closest to a true Australian size 8 – they don’t have as much stretch as the other 2. Just so you know I am usually a XS to S (or XXS in Sportsgirl – but they’re sizing very generous I find!)



I walked away being very happy with the purchase and the experience – just what I expected from MizLed! And let’s not forget that all this cost me was $79.95!!! A STEAL when I think that my sister in law paid $140 for hers and another girl I know paid $300ish for hers… eeek!

PS: I showed the hubby as soon as I got home and he LOVED them – so much so that he wrote about it on his fb!
