Outfit and a Touch of Happy Shopping
Oct 12, 2009 by Violet
Sorry for the lack of updates guys here’s an outfit at least :)
I have been a little stressed lately and with stress I tend to get sicker and have less energy so I haven’t had as much time for blogging as I would like.
So today I thought I’d share some shopping I did recently! A few people have asked me to write my guide to shopping so this is a little bit of a preview!
A while ago we did our shop at Chermside which is a large center on the Northside and I got a few little presents :D
T2 is the most delightful tea shop. I could spend hours just smelling their shop. I bought the loveliest Strawberries and Cream green tea and Sleepy Good which is a tisane for relaxing that really helps me sleep at night.
My favorite purchase that day was actually a cashmere cardigan from Peter Alexander which was on sale (yay!). I am a huge advocate of creating outfits which look like a million dollars for much less but sometimes it’s nice to go for that big brand item. The girl who helped me was lovely and wrapped everything up in cute printed tissue paper.
I wish more stores would use beautiful sturdy paper bags like this! The little bow on the dog’s collar is actually a ribbon too!
And here is the cardigan! I think this is a very French co-ordinate inspired by the over romanticized version of France in my head. Ah yes of course everyone owns a poodle, has a view of the Eiffel Tower and rides a cute little bike everywhere, though I imagine that carrying a baguette all the time could get annoying :P
Oui oui un baguette sil vous plait! J’ai une trousse d’écolier rouge. Le singe est sur la table.
I bet there would be an awful lot less war if countries were more like the stereotypes in my mind. Also there would be less irritating people in the world asking me if I ride a Kangaroo to work.
I’m enjoying doing these outfit posts, hope you are too.

Your cardigan is so pretty! It's fun to splurge now and then, and I think you deserve a little something :D Dont' get too stressed out, enjoy your delicious sounding teas (^-^)
cute cardy ^^

hope u get to destress ^^
I love the cardigan!! I so want to splurge right now :( too bad exams are on !!
and yes T2 is so beautiful <3
and hah, it would be pretty cool to ride on a kangaroo! (although not very fashionable ….and sorta VERY dangerous considering their kicks could kill us …..hmm) :D
Oooooooh, everything is so lovely, but that pink beret has stole my heart! So sweet!!
You look gorgeous, as always, dear!
People really think that's a cute thing to say about riding a kangaroo? What nitwits! As if you hadn't heard it a million times before. Your cardigan is lovely. Especially since it's pink!
Kae- Ah tea is what keeps me sane!
Naka- Thanks :D Don't worry I'll get to de-stress soon!
Melody- Aw thanks :) Exams suck, then again working sucks more than exams! Haha I imagining riding a Kangaroo would be dangerous to ruining my outfit!
Sahakiel- The pink beret was only $10 on sale! It's the only hat that I've found that doesn't make me look silly. I think every girl needs a pink beret ^_^
Lucy- Ah you'd be surprised! There are a lot of people who don't know anything about Australia other than Crocodile Dundee and Mad Max. It can be frustrating but I don't know everything about everywhere so I can't get too mad about it ^_^ It's not the worst insult I've ever gotten!
Nothing like retail therapy? :)
SK- HELL YEAH!
Cute look as usual!
Petite Mum- <3
wow , were do u buy all those rhinestones..
Tutti Patuti- I get them lots of places, most of them are from ebay though :)
I know this is an old post, but I nearly fell off my chair at your Eddie Izzard reference (whether accidental/coincidental or no… lol)!
Language can be a very funny thing!
Anonymous- Yes it was completely intentional! I loooove Eddie and I've been waiting to see if someone would pick up on the reference! Yay you win ^_^
