is it the weekend already?

Okay so I know today is a Saturday and I don't usually post on Saturdays, but as I have not been to work now for almost the entire week all days are blurring into one, and the only reason I knew it was a Saturday was because the Hot 30 was on TV and I could overdose on One Direction.  God those boys are everywhere.

Not much to report.. this post will probably be dull and of little useful information.  I am still under house arrest thanks to the super strong painkillers kindly prescribed to me by my anaesthetist, which render me unable to drive.  Instead, I felt jaunty and went for a quick walk around the neighbourhood (highlight of my day).  Score - I found a fig tree growing over a back fence into a laneway (not as feral as it sounds, but yes I was lurking about in laneways) that was chock full of juicy ripe figs.  Fab.  Not having a plastic bag handy I loaded up the Marc Jacobs to the brim with said figs.  There is tomorrow's breakfast sorted.  Getting home, it appears I may have forgotten that juicy ripe figs ooze a lovely white sticky substance.  Which was now covering the inside of the MJ; the beautiful, gorgeous maroon suede leather lining.  C R A P.  Had I paid the $1700 RRP for this bag, perhaps I would be more careful about what I put inside it.  Or perhaps not.  Those figs are delicious.

So what else has been happening? It can't be just figs? Oh no.  I have also been busily photographing and uploading a whole stack of new items onto eBay.  Two benefits of selling things that I no longer wear and are sick of or that I haven't ever worn and are also sick of is clearing much needed space in the wardrobe room for new and super exciting fabulous purchases, and also to raise some much needed funds into my quite neglected Paypal account.  My 'only buying things with money from Paypal' challenge went out the window quite some time ago - so I thought I had better get that back on track.  Interested in buying some super cool and fabulous items?? Just in case - see below for the details.  Bidding is FUN findettes!

A little bit of shameless self-promotion never hurt anyone.  Now - the brogues are fabulous they just didn't fit me properly; the Gorman clogs I love love love but they are too big; the Frye ankle boots are about ten sizes too large; I have never worn the Richard Nicoll dress but it is so stunning and should go to a good home; the Sass and Bide jeans are a tad on the small side (UH OH); the Zimmermann pants are AHmazing but just not Ballarat-appropriate; the Shakuhachi dress is gorgeous but summer is over; and the two coats are both fab in their own ways - but I am getting a new Gorman camel coat for my birthday and I cannot justify having three camel coats.  There.  Interested? Click on the mini-links below and go nuts.

Once you all buy my items there will be some things I am looking at purchasing.  I have put two pairs of Mimco heels in my 'bag' which I fully intend on buying once items have sold.  These:

These are the 'Journey' pump and the 'Imperial' pump - perfect for 'smart business casual'.  At $89.95 and $99.95 respectively, these babies are definitely on my next -buy list.

Oh I did buy these off eBay yesterday.  Now - tell me what you think:

That was the image, and the description.  The heading of the listing was 'Sass and Bide leather look jeans'.  Am I insane? I did confirm with her that they were indeed Sass and Bide jeans... so I took a chance and snapped them up for $36.  That is what eBay is all about ladies.. living on the edge and taking a chance.  These could end up being these (this is what I am hoping - the pocket details look kind of similar??!):

Or, more than likely they will end up being crap and a total waste of money.  In that case - back on eBay or off to the market for you.  Circle of life yet again.

Think it is time for a nap - all this typing has worn me out.

Have a fabulous weekend x
