dearestjoyxo: Long weekend spending!

The long weekend is an AWESOME excuse to spend a bit of money, and that is exactly what my boyfriend and I did today!

Around 1pm my boyfriend and I headed out to Kelly Country in Granville to look for a suit and a white business shirt for his new position that he was recently promoted to (such a proud proud girlfriend). It was a successful visit to Kelly Country, and mind you I wasn't expecting much from this store but they had a few nice suits so definitely check them out. I didn't get to take photos of the boyfriend since he's a bit camera shy . . such a shame because he looked very sleek!

Anyways, after we finished off at Kelly Country, we stopped over at Hungry Jacks since he hadn't eaten and then straight after he happily agreed to take me to the city to do a bit of shopping! Isn't he just the best?! hahah So we headed straight to Sydney CBD to do a bit of damage to our bank accounts. We decided to park at Westfield Sydney, but little did we know that it was Complimentary Valet parking!!!! We ended up paying $25 . . .which I guess isn't too bad, since parking in the city burns a hole in your pocket.

It was weird, I was excited to shop but I didn't know where to start (I guess I should've had a plan first!) There was this particular metallic tank top I wanted to buy from Bardot but they didn't have my size (which sucked). So the first store I decided to check out was Steve Madden. One of my mates and I recently visited Steve Madden and eyeballed these awesome flats for sale, my mate decided to pick up one for herself in the cream but I decided not to. So when I visited the store today I gave in to the temptation and purchased these:

I love the tote that Steve Madden stores provide you with!

Betsey Johnson for Steven Madden

Love the tissue paper design!

They take such care in protecting your item that they individually wrap your shoes in plastic

Purchased these in the black and the size 6

I love the subtle "LOVE HEART" design on the flats

It has leopard print on the bottom of the shoe!!!


I think these were originally $119.95, then they went down to $59.95 and then they had a further 20% off so I purchased these for $47.95

The next store we stopped over was Sportsgirl. I honestly felt sorry for my boyfriend but he didn't mind at all. I kept asking if he was bored but he was okay! AND not to mention he was pretty good with giving me advice on what looked good and what didn't. So, this is what I picked up at Sportsgirl:

The Vee Sweater

This was originally $59.95, however because it was on sale by 50% off I picked this baby up for $29.95

We then decide to visit Myer and I ended up purchasing two items on the very top level. Both items are outerwear, one from a brand called milkandhoney and the other called Lipsy. Here are what they look like:
