I went Topshopping.

March 5, 2013

Yesterday I went into Topshop to have a quick look around. I had to go to Sandton to buy birthday and house warming presents for friends and I couldn’t leave without buying a Angie present for me.

I found 2 nice things. I bought this awesome pair of tan leather sandals, that sure are similar to another pair I have but those won’t last forever and I really liked these. I saw them on Pinterest a while back so I was happy to see them hanging up in Topshop.

It’s weird when you covert something online and you look it up and you think oh man I can’t buy these shoes because for one how will I know if they fit me or not, or what if they make me look like a circus elephant (not sure how this makes sense, but anyway). So I was happy I got to try them on in real life before I bought them.

I also bought this very sweet black felt hat. I don’t really wear hats, in fact I think it’s safe to say that I never wear hats, but I thought I woud give this little guy a try.

I was inspired by some recents images I pinned to one of my boards. All links to the photos below can be found there.

How to spend a Saturday. Get 2 friends, eat cake then buy some motherfing stuff.

February 11, 2013

On Saturday I went shopping with 2 of my friends, we were high on chocolate cupcakes and thought we would go spend some cash monies. We all did alright, we came back with a few bags of things and I thought I would share some of the stuff with you guys, just in case you were on the lookout for say some socks that have wolves on them.

I bought some socks – yes I have a small obsession with socks amongst lots of other things (below is only a third of my sock collection).

I went into Topshop to have a look at their socks. They have such fun pairs to choose from, the patterns and colours are all over the place it’s so awesome. I picked up 2 pairs whilst I was in there, one that reminds me of the kid from About A Boy (one of my most favourite movies) he would definitely wear them and one that reminds me of one of my kids – Wolves. I wanted to buy like 7 other pairs too, but I held back.

I also picked up this sweet little gold and cream ‘A’ ring.

Bought this pretty navy blue jersey. I really like the knit and the colour and I personally don’t think one can have enough navy things in their wardrobe.

Another purchase I made, which I’m now having second thoughts about is this handbag. I thought I liked it, but I think I can live without it.

Don’t you hate it when that happens – you buy something, convinced that you like it but when you get home and you see in it your ‘home light’ you don’t want it anymore. It’s like it had a different feeling in the shop. Well anyway I have no doubt that I will be changing it and probably walking out with something in it’s place.

I also lugged home this pretty off-white jersey from Country Road – ok so I guess its’s safe to say that I have a mild obsession with jerseys too. Oh well I am who I am.

The last thing I bought was a Amber Jones t-shirt from Mr P. I met Amber quite a while ago and she is one of the nicest people ever, just such a sweetheart. I love the work she does for Mr P and I’m super looking forward to wearing this design of hers.

Thanks Topshop, me likie.

November 22, 2012

These are the few things I came home with last night after the Topshop launch. I’m not going to lie, it was a bit overwhelming, there was so much to see, but I think I did ok considering all my obstacles, champagne, snacks, a sweet table and my beautiful Shane playing on stage with his band Desmond and the Tutus.

If any of you go soon let me know what you think and what you bought xx

What you wearing?

December 5, 2011

I don’t often do outfit posts, but every now I think it’s fun to do one, so her I go. The dusty pink shirt i’m wearing I found at Forever New, I really like it, it’s one of my most favourite things in my cupboard at the moment, that and my gold circle necklace from Skermunkil. I try not to wear it everyday, but I love it too much because it pretty much goes with everything.

My bag I got from Missibaba, I call it my ‘beginners’ Missibaba, one day I will have a grown-ups version ha. And my shoes I actually found at Edgars, which was a nice surprise because I don’t often find things I like there.

Just a quick question, rumor has it H&M and Topshop are coming to South Africa next year, can anyone confirm that?

Shopping + The Gossip = awesome day

July 14, 2009

Shane and I shopped ALL day yesterday (my feet are so sore from walking around, I seriously think they’re going to go on strike). In the first half of the day we didn’t really find much, till we came across the awesome shop – H&M, but not small weird H&M that we had gone to in the morning, that left me crying in my fanta. No, no, no. a big awesome happy H&M that had flashing lights and imaginary clowns that danced around in my eyes. I bought a few things. In fact everything I bought from H&M added up to just less that what I spent at Topshop on 3 things. Screw that place, it’s like a cheeto posing as a chocolate doughnut – if anyone understands what’s i’m talking about, then you have definitely been my friend for long hehe.H

Here are 2 of my most favourite things that i bought today –  a purple leather purse and a shorts/top – i’m not sure what the real name for this item of clothing is, but i like it. I took a picture of the rest of the stuff in a cluster, there are 1 or 2 gifts in there hee, but the rest are for me. I figured it’s my birthday holiday and i’ll spend if i want to. Yes!

* So after a long day of walking and walking and walking we sat down for a drink and at the same time spotted a ‘The Gossip’ gig poster, which said that they were in fact playing tonight at a place just 2 stations stops away from our hotel. HELLO. Yes we watched The Gossip. Yes they were awesome. yes we came out of there with sweat halos and even sorer feet, but it was totally worth it. Wow. We were close, but not close enough for me to get a super good picture of Beth Ditto. Here are a couple though. Ok bye bye x
