Winter is really here
I am getting over one of the worse colds I have had in a long time. I wasn't aware that my body could produce so much mucus. I was a truly disgusting sight. I wish winter was over, I really loathe it. Probably because it has been raining here for like a week. We get horrible rainy days where the wind blows and it's freezing, and you have to run like a mad person to avoid getting swept away - I believe in other countries it would be called a 'typhoon'.
Now if we had a nice winter that was a little bit chilly, with a sprinkling of snow that allowed me to wear cute little dresses and tights, and high heeled boots (without tripping and killing myself on slippery walkways) maybe I would enjoy it a bit more.
Until winter agrees to cooperate I will continue to despise it. Bring on spring!

Forever 21 why do you do this to me

Photos via the Forever 21 websiteForever 21 ship internationally - and if you order over $100 they offer a special shipping price for international orders - as if I needed any more incentive...the shipping price was the one thing holding me back, my bank account is going to suffer.
On another note - had an interesting experience today. Saw a movie of an opera performance of Madame Butterfly. It was good, different than an actual opera experience, but still a nice experience. Then went out for dinner and ate way to much rich pasta. Mmmm life is good.

Bad Blogger
On a more exciting note - I bought the boots from the post below!! I was going to buy them online - but as the shopping gods would have it, just before I was going to buy them, I walked into the store to try them on one more time, and they were on sale - $100 off! I love the shopping gods. I am now a lover of Dr martens too. Well made and comfortable, they wrap my feet in buttery leather all day and do not cause any pain what so ever. They first time I can say that about a heel - no matter what height (I have feet issues - slightly flat feet, bunions, thanks mum, callouses too...). While I was looking for a flat boot I am glad I went for a slight heel - wet weather is no one's friend - and rubber sole - awesome!
Other than that and being a bad blogger. Nothing further to report. Please go out and enjoy life for me - I have a cough that is threatening to separate my throat from the rest of my body...not pleasant!
Peace out.

Wow look, an outfit photo!
I actually took one for the first time in ages - which is a shock. I had just received my parcel the day before! I ordered a whole lot of stuff from the Forever 21 website, most of which I am over the moon with - particularly the high tops I am wearing in the photo.
I've always wanted a pair of high tops - although really nothing else in my wardrobe kinda of fits with this style something about them appeals to me - I guess in the same way I want a pair of combat boots. I particularly lust after a pair of the converse knee extra high-high top that come up to the knee, although I've yet to investigate how to get a pair. They don't sell them here - and according to the converse website they won't send them here.
The cute bow headband is from F21 too. I will try and post some of the other stuff up here too is pretty darn neat, although some of the dresses ended up being a bit shorter than expected, I guess NZ mini and US mini don't quite mean the same thing.
The hunt for my doc goes on - I have discovered that if I buy them online - I may stand to save about 60 - that's including shipping!! I may actually buy them after all and that makes me very excited! Although I should be trying to save my money to pay back to massive debt I owe my parents. I have been trying to come up with some money making schemes - at the moment my wardrobe is getting an overhaul and being sold to the highest bidder.
Apart from that any other bright ideas to get the molah? I'm limited as to how much I can work because my study takes up so much time - so getting another job on top of what I have is not really an option. I'm really looking for something along the lines of some crazy idea that gets you rich quick.... Maybe I should just be a good girl and save my pennies and stop buying so much stuff. Hmm that could be a good start.
