Shopping 2012

Since I'm not really committed to anything for now, I always find time to do some online 'browsing'/window shopping. EVERY GIRL WHO READS THIS WILL KNOW THAT THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE. Especially when you're broke, because you start chucking stuff into your cart, adding tons of links on your bookmark list.. You're already spending waaay more than what you have or WILL have in my case -_- 

Anyway, I received my college deposit and asked permission from my father if I could use it. He was awfully sweet about it since he's been noticing me salivating over clothes every day, so he said yes! Combined with the money I've been making over my bracelet empire (lol), I managed to snag a few items. Still want so much more but one must not be greedy or one will be eating sand for the rest of the month and getting lectures from one's boyfriend.  

The first top is a top from uglyducklingcloset for a DIY project which I added metal tips to the corners of the shirt. Second & third tops are normal every day under-the-blazer tops. Fourth is a pair of the Leigh super soft skinnies from Topshop because they are love, extremely soft and I need to give my leggings a break (MNG leggings are luxe!). Fifth is a pair of high waisted white shorts with fake gold zippers from ZARA and they are my favorite purchase for now (and I am actually thinking of getting another pair in dark blue) and the sixth item is this gorgeous bandage dress from Topshop. Love it! I also got bandage skirts from Cotton On, tights from Topshop and four pairs of socks. They didn't let me get only one.

Anyway, below are stuff my friends overseas are helping me get. There are two brands that are so difficult for me to get which is Primark over in the UK and also Johnny Cupcakes in the US. Photos were taken with my friend's phone. We were communicating via DM on Twitter and email ok :p Much love to him for taking the effort and time to get them for me in Manchester!! Yes, my friend is a male and he sanggup shopped for me at Primark (I've heard how crazy it gets!) so I definitely owe him. Then I have another friend over in London, getting me stuff......... No pictures for that! Shoes were 6 pounds and these basic shirts with gold buttons were 10 pounds each. Not bad, not bad. 

Then there's Johnny Cupcakes. The story behind this brand is that I stumbled upon it ages ago and fell in love with the brand and the story behind it. Shipping prices are a !@#$%^&* but my best friend is currently studying in Tampa so he managed to get them for me. He ordered the cap online and it's with him now so I can't wait for him to come back!! Honestly Ameen, that's why I dragged you into ADTP with me... just kidding! It's quite expensive but what are best friends for hehehehehe.

So, that's about it, I guess. I need to get maybe a pair of sandals or flats, a few basic tees and tanks in diff colours and the perfect black cardigan. Then I'm done. I swear. ;) More pictures next time! 

P/S: I have a new system now. I won't cut the tags off the clothes until I wear them, so I can keep track. I keep wearing the same thing over and over again so I hope by doing it this way, none of my clothes will be left out!
