cherry blossom



i love flowers..
if i weren't so stingy, i'd probably buy myself flowers more often...
oh heck... everyone knows what i spend my $$ on...
anyways.. i found this absolutely beautiful blog/website call
its a very pretty website about flowers, photos, fashion and all sorts of other very girly feminine things ... and its also in french ... hehehe... it has translations from time to time... but i just look at the tres jolie website for relaxation and eye candy.

sass and bide sale


previous sass and bide sales have been ok... the curious bargain hunter in me.. cant let a sale go by without checking it out for myself.
however ... this years sass and bide sale was VERY good... with lots of decent wearable stuff thats not limited to jeans only.

jeans were $50.... there was a really cute pair of frayed misfits in my size and in dark demin colour that can surgically make your ass look shapely (in a good way) and your legs long and lean. but i let them go... due to serious lack of $$

t shirts were $30...i nabbed one... it screamed "take me home now"

other items ranged from $50 to $120 - which is very reasonable for sass and bide... and thats why i walked away with the little black number above...

when things go bad....

while browsing for 2nd hand designer goodies on ebay...
as you do....
i came across this....
this is when EBAY AUCTIONS GO VERY VERY WRONG!!
the first time i innocently grazed my eyes over the lovely LV babies they were fine...
but then i did a double take... going WOT THE FUCK???!!!

at first i thought the pics were innocent enough.. but when you really look into them... shes wearing a neglige!!! with head lights ON! helooo ?!!! this is an ebay photo! not porn!!!

and at a closer look shes wearing very sheer neglige which shoes the undies under neath....

when did ebay become the venue for 15 secs of porno fame?
or maybe this is a new selling strategy on ebay... we all know sex sells! so why not ebay? and why not high end 2nd hand designer goodies...

maybe i need to try this ... and my final prices might end up higher....

and get a cult following going? then i'll get a higher readership from my blog. :P

tell me what you think..

theres a 3rd photo that goes with this... but i cant seem to upload it.... but i think 2 is enough ... the third i will leave to your imagination ... lets just say... the third photo ... confirms all your suspicions of the above and reveals too much info :o)

enjoy.clio
ooooo i do love the lilac bag.... i have a very SOFT spot for lilac LV's of long ago...

got some spare change?

at a give away price of $450 & $480 aud these babies are steal! (hehee ... not really.. but you get my drift)

they are brand new second hand designer babes from the lovely girls on vogue forum.
these chicky babes have never been worn and would make any girl go gaga..

the spotted manolo's are not really my thing, but i can see how this lil baby can make a bleh outfit into something quite HOT. at size 39.5, this is totally too big for me, but 1 hot red trench coat, black leggings and these hotties... is a statement outfit :) love 'em.











these babies? im just a sucker for ballet flats, designer and non designer - i just love 'em

Sass and Bide

new favourite blog

http://turquoisechic.blogspot.com/

what can i say?
i love love love love this blog
it lets me "escape" from my crappy boring children infested life
to another world where your house always looks like a designer magazine
sooo... if you want great pics or ideas on how to redecorate ... click away...

yes i know i'm materialistic and you know i dont really mean it...

but i have a splitting head ache right now and im going to bed

selamat malam
clio

mmmMMMMmmmm i like.....

who said just because i was on a shopping ban it would stop me from looking at stuff i cant buy (thank GOD!!). i must admit - i love looking at stuff on the net! its brillient - especially when you live in the remotest city in the world with only a sprinkling of designer stores in town. i know that theres plans for more designer boutiques to open in perth (YES CHANEL is currently looking for a place to open!!) but i'm thankful that they are plane trip away for me.. otherwise this poor lil girl will be bag & shoe rich but VERY cash & asset poor . lets just have a look at the pretty stuff i have found and can never ever buy..... 1. miu miu pink ballet flats with orchid/flower detail... i reckon the leather looks so soft and smooshy ...mmmmm

2. miu miu ballet flats in a range of colours ( i couldnt stop at one) with bling bling detail... i loves it!




Its sooo pretty....told ya i couldnt stop at 1 colour...
love this dress.... dunno who the designer is ... but its hot hot hot!



Bring on the long weekend!!!

Bring on Easter
Bring on 4 day weekend

As you can see i cant friggin wait until the long weekend rolls in
What will i be doing?
1. catching up on the zzz's
2. total SFA
3. spend quality time with the "babies"
4. take my frozen goodies back from my mum's freezer (long story)
5. watch movies
6. more SFA
7. go garden city or any shopping centre becase i would have finished my SHOPPING BAN!!!

sigh... i just cant wait.... so much stuff is happening all about the same time.. i really dont know how i keep up. i can only really take 1 day at a friggin time. or more like 12 hours at a time...
well anyways... i had my "chat" with da "boss" of da school today...
all is dandy ... obviously i pass the dodgy teacher test...
he trusts me... he didnt even look through my programming :) sweet

however during my meeting ... we talked about all sorts of stuff regarding school and parents. ESPECIALLY the parents... theres a number of UBER DODGE DODGE parents in my class (whoppeeeeeeeeeeeeee) so i have been advised to play the political parent minefield VERY VERY CAREFULLY..... or in other words... these parents can make your life a living hell... and i have seen this happen to a very poor colleague of mine..

anyways fuck all of this... lets play pictionary... i know i am on a shopping ban but who said this poor bag & shoe whore cant look on the websy for some pretty bling bling stuff?.... bring on the goodies ... in the next post that is... i am still figuring out the best way to set up the pics with blogspot without fucking around with the pics and texts. i haven't even figured out how to post small comments underneath a photo... yes i am a techno newbie...

stress & lemmings

urgh...
im stressed
seriously stressed...
my coping mechanism to all this bullshit stress
is to escape and go on a stupid wild shopping spree on the internet...
fantasize about this total "other" life... i hope to live one day...(ha ha .. yes i am dreaming)

well here is my TO DO list for the next 1.5 weeks and i hope to god i survive it.....
1. have a "programming" meeting with principal & assistant principal's
basically the principals just wanna do a check up/ progress check .. on how we are going etc. make sure all our documentation is up to scratch and we aint just bludging around. i know i should be ok with it, i just worry a lot and want "everything" to be "perfect".....argh... i have a lot to do before anything is perfect....sigh....

2. have an "individual education plan" for my "special needs" student. another meeting with principals, parents, therapist and teacher.
oh my god... where do i start? so much to do.... so freakin' little time......and this special needs student is intense.... can't i have a nice normal classroom with nice normal students on average ability? is it too much to ask?

3. i have a science "professional develoment" course i have to attend next week... and i'd rather not. i prefer to be in the classroom with my students, i really dont like being away from them for too long. oh ya... did i mention to you that im now the new "science co-ordinator" for the school... so more work/responsibilties and same pay...whoopp-eeee....

so bring on the day dreaming.... one powerball or lotto jackpot and baby im there.....

pedro garcia shoes are hot...
