odds and ends

been quite busy with work, uni, and organising my trip to new york, which is less than a month away. i've actually found it very hard to save all my money. it made me realise just how much i spend on clothes and accessories, something a struggling student should not do!

seeing as i haven't posted for awhile, i thought this post could be my week in picture form...

part une: items i have a serious lust issue with..








i would kill for these tristan blair leopard booties. Literally murder someone. Ok, maybe not that far but i'd consider selling my soul.

part deux: today's outfit..





shirt dress: dotti. scarf: forever new. tights: sportsgirl.



a simple, thrown together outfit for rushing out the door. it felt so good to be wearing a scarf...i love autumn.

part trois: purchases..









drape cardigan: witchery



pictured here with a long satin top and acne wedges. i like to plan ways to wear pieces, although all that ever happens is a mad rush of throwing clothes everywhere trying to find something that matches.

and i swear, the cardi was all i bought this week! although even with that small purchase i felt a little guilty for my NY piggy bank..

  8. Oh, those leopard print ankle boots! Just another case to add support to the theory that every time I visit your blog I come away with new shoe lust haha. Good luck with the saving! It'll be all worth it when you're in NY :)

  10. New York, New York!

    So exciting. I must try to get there one day, soon.

    And I'm loving the Witchery cardi and those wedges. Are the shoes a recent purchase? I was overwhelmed by the constant blogging about them when they first came out, but I now adore them. Wonder how hard it would be to find a pair....

    And p.s. Those Tristan Blairs? I hear you. Murder is out, but happy to exchange my sister for a pair :D
