coincidence, fate, fashion friends and some HOT new purchases...

SO - wait for this.  Did someone say COINCIDENCE? On my last post I was busy hunting down the items as seen on Jessica Stein's Tuula blog; and found quite a few of them.  Woot.  Yes, I was feeling pretty chuffed - GOOD WORK FFIFY.  Finished the post and put it up - and got on with my day.  A few minutes ago I was perusing eBay (for something completely different of course) and checked out those Karen Walker sunnies again, as I had been thinking about them all day.  I thought I would check out the seller's other items - when I noticed their name.  Tuula Vintage.  NO WAY.  And there they were - most of the other items I had hunted down; plus a few more tasty additions.  Amazing.  Guess who her saved as a favourite seller??  Check out her items here.

Speaking of fashion bloggers, I came across another totally find-worthy version today.  Friend In Fashion (her blog is here) is a Melbourne based blogger who does most of her outfit posts on location in the Docklands.  I follow her on twitter - and jumped across to her Lookbook page this morning.  This was the post:

Super hot right?  She listed the blazer as August Street; two minutes later I located said blazer here at The Iconic:

August Street 'Native' blazer - $144.95.  Buy it now at The Iconic here.

So there I was, tossing up whether to buy.  Flicking back and forth, blog to store, blog to store - argh I was being annoyingly indecisive and just could not make up my mind.  And then, fate intervened.  Jumped on facey and this appeared:

The Iconic was rewarding me for liking them, by giving me 20% off.  No JOKE.  Yes - this was definitely fate.  There was no clearer sign that this jacket was meant to be mine.  Snapped it up - $116.  BANG.  3 day delivery, and free postage.  Cant get any better than that.  Spooky...

But.. of course I was also tempted by another of her ensembles:

The pants in particular... seems that washed out leopard print is everywhere right now.  SPOTTED: 

Found them here at SurfStitch.  And, they are VOLCOM.  Yes - you read that correctly.  I haven't worn Volcom since my punk rock days (uhhh try guys ripped Volcom jeans, studded belts, etnies and trucker caps.  Avril Lavigne eat your heart out) but I am definitely tempted by these. And at $69.99 - why wouldn't you be?

Am yet to add to cart.  I will sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning.

Other purchases that occurred over the course of the day:

Sass and Bide muslin and denim spliced shirt - $60 eBay

Tato & Memi silk and tweed spliced blazer - $150 eBay.  This guy is new season and retailing for $480.  FAB.

Sass and Bide 'The Ringleader' leopard print ruffle tee - $41 eBay.

OHH and then just this second snatched up this cute as a button Topshop knit - $21 eBay.

Hmm.  That was just today.  When you see it laid out like that seems just a little excessive...

Maybe just a tad.

Guess who cannot wait for the POSTMAN!
