I guess it’s travel envy. August got to jet off to Europe for a month, and Winnypoo’s parents are off to some exotic Middle-Eastern sounding country on a holiday, and Tan Eelynn just flew off to shop up a storm in Singapore and eat like mad in Penang! Where’s the justice! All this travelling going on that doesn’t involve me!
I wanna go back to Taiwan…I need more knee-high argyle socks! (no, I am so not over the Gossip Girl style mania phase. Blair Waldorf and preppy schoolboy blazers ftw!)
Plus it doesn’t help that two of my most lusted-after shopping items this month are practically UNATTAINABLE (except, in some cases through online shopping, which is BAD. Because I’m on a budget. No, I have not saved a single penny of the 5k that I need for my Chanel bag. All you naysayers, continue naying. I tell you, I’ll get there someday!)
Su Ann, allow me to tempt you! :P
I’m no fashion connoisseur, but a helpful blurb from AUS Style describes Black Paper as “Alexander Wang X Balmain at Supre prices”. I say, dayyymmmittt, they don’t do international shipping! Do my eyes deceive me or are these amazingly gorgeous Destroyed Acid Washed skinny jeans a mere AUD 36?!?! That’s bloody cheaper than Supre! And wayyy hotter!
And check out the gorgeous detailing on this Tweed chain short jacket for less than AUD 45! Eat that, Coco Chanel! (Check the amazing ruffled top underneath – that’s on sale as well for some ridiculously low price)
SO GORGEOUS! A dove grey, slightly metallic, long, no collar blazer with a string tie at the waist! For a look that’s androgynously cool but not overly masculine at just AUD 69 (note to self: consider using proceeds from Chanel bag fund to buy a plane ticket to Seoul instead)
I know gladiators are so last season, but you tell me if you could resist these zippered gladiator heels for a mere AUD 51!
Of course, having a super cute, skinny model with a great haircut helps, but girl crushes aside, I NEED ME SOME BLACK PAPER! Are any of my readers from Korea?? *puppy dog eyes*
Next up (and I wouldn’t be me if it didn’t involve makeup), we’re flying from the wintry mountainsides of Korea to the sunny, rolling fields of France and Sonia Albou’s so-chic makeup label, Paul & Joe:
Just look at that princessy, flowery packaging! There’s something about foundation in a frosted glass bottle with a flower on it that just makes me want to whip out the credit card…and I just might…someone stop me! On my wishlist are the new Protective Fluid Foundation N (as seen in pic above) and Lipstick N, “lip colour with a meltingly creamy texture and sheer, beautiful colour covering” – now tell me you can resist that.
Despite being a French brand, Paul and Joe cosmetics are actually produced by Albion, which just goes to show you – Japanese cosmetics are the shit (and being the shit is very different from just being plain shit :P)
I know, I’ve probably alienated all my male readers by this point (pouf! Only real men read about women’s fashion and makeup!) So to make it up to you I shall include something tech-related! Cos I’m just nice and nerdy that way (I also want to brainwash you all into buying iPhones! Mwahaha!)
