June Shopping List – Heels, Hair stuff and Hot Water Bottles

Through my endeavours, I have collated a wish list for the month of June – these are my shopping finds. Some tested, some not yet, but if I do will definitely post about it.

Here are the picks, in no particular order, judged only by appeal and an awesomeness factor be it via reviews, trials or just plain eye candy.

1. Zara Perspex Heels. I found these on a blog called A Thousand Departed  Friends

TwiceTheBlog also posted about these shoes – recent purchases!

I haven’t succeeded in getting these in ZARA store in Sydney, but found some online shops that sell similar shoes here:

ASOS RRP$110.50

Donna Karan Perspex wedge sandals RRP$570

New Look Perspex Heel Platforms RRP £44.99

If I succeed in buying a pair of any of these shoes, I’ll be very happy :)

2. Hair Product : Cedel Blow Dry Faster Heat Protector

I tried a sample of this product the other day and it’s made my ‘can’t live without list’ straight away. The label says that your hair drying time is reduced dramatically with this spray on deodorant looking bottle. It certainly has worked for me. I have long, thick hair and sometimes I confess, I go to the hairdressers just so I don’t have to wash my own hair as the drying takes forever. With this product I am happy to do it myself – no excuses! It’s a 2 in 1 so it also protects your hair from heat.

Cedel Blow Dry Faster Heat Pr0tector RRP$9.99

3. More hair stuff … I was intrigued by this product: Redken Powder Grip. This is a mattifying hair powder that helps create volume and gives hair extra grip to create various hair styles. I would like to try it and see if it really helps create more hair styles. I struggle to come up with alternatives to just out vs pony tail, maybe this will help.

Redken Powder Grip RRP$20.95

4. TonyMoly Lipglosses

These are just too adorable to not have in your purse. TonyMoly is a Korean cosmetics brand – check out their website here.

So far I’ve only seen these being sold at Morning Glory shops in Sydney ( BLOG post here), but I’m sure this brand will start popping up more and more.

5. Hot water bottle cover

It’s cold, today was probably one of the coldest days EVER! Rain and wind and app temperature of 3 degrees…Sheesh!

So I need one of these..just by looking at them, I start to feel warm….ahhh!

Hot water bottle cover from Dotcomgiftshop RRP$20.32

Heart Hot Water Bottle Cover RRP$20.32

6. Clio party arms – $9.94 at Big W.Unfortunately I can’t find a link any more as this offer is no longer on their catalogue, but I will try and pop into a store to find one of these. These are handy as I dance and also do pilates. Now that it’s cold also in the studio, I won’t have to wear a jumper and then take it off half way through class. These are great!

That’s it for now. I’ll stick to this list for June.

Do you have any awesome shopping items you’ve got on your list?

What’s the story Morning Glory?

Why haven’t I been to one of these stores before?

After a weeknight dinner with a friend (Wednesday night), I stumbled into a cute store called Morning Glory. I’ve seen them all around town but figured the stuff they sell would have no meaning to me as it was all oversized toy pigs and funky looking alarm clocks in the display window. Something possessed me that night to walk in and take a look, maybe I was just passing time…not sure…

What happened was – I didn’t come out of the store until an hour later and didn’t realise it got so late….

I was like a kid in a candy store!

I felt like I was re-living my childhood for the minutes I was in Morning Glory, looking and picking out funny looking pens, choosing the pattern for my pencil case, ogling the pretty hair ties and mobile phone covers….

Truth is, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, just was blown away by how much “STUFF” was inside this little boutique.

An hour later and a surprising amount of stuff I found I needed, here is what I walked away with: (I still feel like I was hypnotised in the store and don’t quite remember what happened! oh the bright lights of Hello Kitty!)

Morning Glory pencil case – helps me get organised again with all my writing utensils for studies

Panda pen

Highlighters and marker pens

This one is for my Mum, she is a piano teacher and works with kids. I thought this would be a great addition to her lessons!

Told ya it was like being a kid in a candy store- who doesn’t love crayons!!!

Live is Good and Sweet notebook! Amen!

This penguin pencil is a later addition to my spree during the week. I just bought it! (tehehee)

Justification – I need a pencil for circling things in my study book – don’t judge!

To find Morning Glory in Sydney join their FB page here – there are loads of awesome products they showcase there.

Something to LOL at – the photo below was taken from the Morning Glory Facebook page gallery of visitors to the store. Its nice to know even ONE DIRECTION shops at this boutique (no offence boys who look like One Direction and pose with a “pe-a-su” sign inside a totally awesome store.)

This is the shop where I become Alice in Wonderland:

My shopping finds (mostly shoes) at Sydney Fashion Weekend

Now its time to showcase all the awesome things I found at the fun and colourful stalls at the Fashion Weekend Sydney on Friday.

Whoa!

Hot hot pink Peep Toes! These shoes are so comfy and to me epitomise what Peep Toe stand for – standout shoes which just need to be worn with a classic black outfit whether it be black rock star leggins or a little black dress. These shoes I just had to have!

These babies are called “Miss Muse”

Another pair of Peep Toe Shoes – apparently these are a one off style. The heel is super high but these will go well with skinny jeans – can’t wait to wear them out for a night on the town!

Le Specs sunnies – the deal was so good it was a crime to just buy 1 pair! So I got four!

Last but not least a Stylestalker jacket. This one was RRP at $249 and I snatched it for $20 (bargain or what?)

So excited about all of my buys – the wallet didn’t feel a strain either as all of the items above were at nearly 70% off or more. Definitely signing up for FashionWeekend next year (and starting to shop early!)
