Do or don't?

This is so cute! I want to buy it. I mean it's not crazy or anything, we're definitely still in summer here. I think i deserve a new bikini too. Since last summer my proportions have gone nuts and I've spent this summer lazing about in half a very fabulous Petit Bateau and half a not so fabulous Glasson bikini...

But that being said, how do I size this so it fits!? So I don't have saggy/hungry bum at the beach while still modestly concealing my boobs/making them look perky enough. Also, this almost purchase goes completely against my 'stop buying stuff online' mantra which I adopted late last week when I received a 'your order has been dispatched and is on it's way to you' email and had to actually stop and think for a few seconds. True story.

Ok. I won't buy it...just yet...

Sometimes the internet is more foe than friend...

It's no secret that I have a huge online shopping problem. It kind of turned into a way of life for a while; if I couldn't get it online I didn't want it. Yeah, hermit much? Anyway around about last week it slowly began to dawn on my that I had almost come to the end of my online shopping tether (the sites I can afford anyway). Yeah, imagine that! Shopped out the internet...So I picked myself up out from under my duvet, put presentable clothes on and went out into the big bad world. I bought stuff in real life again! It was ok. The one thing I did notice was that when enough was enough it was very obvious from the huge amount of shopping bags you are lugging around, no hiding that shit immeditely in the closet, people on the street have seen you!!! It also puts things into perspective and stupid decision making is put on the back burner...for example I put down some floral print velvet pants for some basic, but amazing, leather sandals. Online this would have been the other way round and I would have recieved my furry floral pants in the mail two weeks later and had a cry.

This all said and done, I still really want something (or two) that just look super amazing on my laptop screen - so obviously on me, duh...


Oh hi Topshop, thanks for always producing shoes that are incredibly irrelevant to my life.


Zoe & Morgan gold Eternity Snake ring. Usually snakes creep me the fuck out and the snake eternity symbol/eating itself was not exception...except when it's in gold and resonalby priced. Gonna do this next pay day...

Moral of this story is...Sarah is incredibly feckle.

breaking news!

But not really. I kid. Seeing as today was only the 3rd actual sunny day of my summer break I've had a lot of free time and not a lot of laying about in the sun this combined with my lack of any plans I've had to force myself to find indoor activities to keep my daily catnap count down to 1 a day. I've been doing a bit of online shopping...


Actually got something I've been lusting after for ages. The 130 pounds price tag kept my credit card at bay - but 60 pounds? Thanks Topshop sale/that small ounce of willpower I found somewhere.

I also want to do this. I think it's raining (again) tomorrow, indoor project? Yes.


I've also been going a bit nuts with the photos on my tumblr. I even bought a chocolate mold and a whisk while my sister dealt with her wedding registry a few (rainy) days ago. Yes this bit might be a bit too ambitious for me, but I'll give it ago...maybe...only if it's really, really rainy...because I really just want to be doing this


all day and everyday! Or even going to see that film again, and again, and again would satisfy me on a hot, sticky, rainy summer day I see in the near future. Oh summer, why must you be so sporadic? WHY?

Yeah, so...

So Kate Moss' final Topshop mainline collection went on sale a few hours ago. I actually caught it just as it went live. That stuff never happens to me - but I refrained from clicking buy on my little online cart. To be honest, I've never really understood the Kate Moss Topshop stuff. A handful of pieces here and there I like yes but the collections always seem very...bitty or something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, as this is her final mainline collection does this mean Topshop will still be sewing her name onto basic tees and calling them 'limited edition'? I hope so. Kate Moss, whatever she's done or however annoying she is becoming these days, is an icon (and super cute back in the day) and her Topshop co-lab is one of the best and seemingly 'meant to be' celebrity/chain store co-labs around yada, yada, yada. Here's some cool stuff you can buy (or not, it's prob all sold out knowing keen Topshoppers)

I GOT MY SOCKS! I GOT MY SOCKS!

That's right! I finally got my socks and why yes, this is the most exciting thing to happen to me all week. Actually I didn't so much go get my socks as did some young fella I know because he works sweet hours. Thanks! HI SOCKS!


p.s. will blog about something worth reading soon. I promise, even if I have to force myself to be interesting.

I HATE YOU NEW ZEALAND POST

I WANT YOU SOCKS! Where ever you guys may be

Hellooo Sailor!

This very icy day seems the perfect time for me to break the suspense and finally blog about my coat. My new coat. My sailor coat from Topshop. Hurah! Not only is it super kawaii with double breasted buttons and an ahoy collar to die for, it is also warm. Wool. Thick. Lined. An actual coat. Something I haven't owned in many, many years. Here is a bad photo of me wearing it, just as proof that I'm not fibbing about owning an actual winter coat, finally.

Would You Do It?

Can you say Osh-Kosh-B'gosh?! Overalls, or perhaps dungarees. Whichever you prefer. I think I would do it. I've wanted to for quite sometime. But it's a bit depressing trying to find them in op shop;. baggy bums comes to mind. But since Topshop is putting out some nicely tailored ones, I think my dungaree dreams might very well be close to being fulfilled! Hooray!

Victory is mine II!

HA TOPSHOP! EAT MY SHORTS (or credit card number, whichever you prefer). You have been somewhat forgiven.

Sarah, resist the urge to throw your laptop out the window

Hey guys. So let's all try and keep an accurate count of stock shall we? Topshop and Opening Ceremony I'm looking at you. Okay, okay so maybe Opening Ceremony got inundated with furry bag orders when they let the flood gates open on their little sale - you shall be forgiven.

But Topshop, seriously, you have been a very bad website. I don't trust you no more. You said these in a size 36 were in stock when I ordered you. The rest of my stuff arrived in a very FLAT package (no wedges in sight) just an 'out of stock' little piece of paper. Not even a place in a back order priority line a-la American Apparel.

But wait a minute, you say you are out of stock on the piece of paper I have in my hands - but I go and put you back in my little online bag (size 36) and you are successfully "added to bag". Really? REALLY!? Are you really successfully added to bag? I think not. I have serious doubts. But I'm going to re-order you again, just because being disappointed like this is so much fun. And i want these shoes oh so much, my lack of height needs them. GODS OF THE TOPSHOP WAREHOUSE, PLEASE BE GOOD TO ME!

You have to strike while the iron is hot

Sigh. SORRY, ITEM OUT OF STOCK, again.

Will you guys still be my friends if ...

I somehow found and bought and wore these?
