I bought these babies in December and it seems that they are screaming “Wear me, wear me!”. They were a part of the Holmes Bros Mr Price Collaboration. It’s been too hot to wear them, but I definitely want to wear them when it’s stocking weather. Have you bought any new shoes lately?
Yep, I love to go to markets on Saturdays (ok on Sundays as well). This Saturday I was at the SmallBiz Indaba at the Blue Bird Garage. It wasn’t just a market but it definitely had that market vibe that I love. It was all about people showing what their small businesses had to offer. I found it quite inspiring to see all these people trying to make a success of something they started themselves. Besides that, I ate too much food, got my eyebrows beautifully sculpted, bought perfume and a skirt. It was a successful day I say!
OK, not so new but it is the newest pair I own. I do love these shoes I bought at Woolies. They are so comfy and they make me look taller. I hereby pledge my undying love for wedge heels!
The YDE R99 sale, previously the R75 sale, has became a little tradition in my family. On sale day my sister and I wake up early, dress comfortably and persuade another family member to stand stand in line with the masses of other girls. Our hearts beat fast because we are nervous. We never know what we’re going to get. Will we be fast enough to grab that garment before someone else does?
When the doors open we charge in, go in different directions and grab what we can. We meet after our first grabbing session and check what we’ve got. We then move to the line where we take turns to queue while the other searches for more clothing. We queue for 30 minutes to 2 hours, but it’s worth it. By end of the line we have double the garments we started off with. We need to make quick decisions about what to take and what to leave! It’s torture!
Getting home is the fun part because that’s when we fit everything on and get excited about how lovely the garments look and fit.
Here are details of some of the items I bought at today’s sale. I can’t wait to wear each and every item!
Not only is this sale a fun and sometimes heart-wrenching shopping experience but it is also a time for sisterly bonding! I will definitely be at the next one!
Yes, I went to Milnerton Market again and I took pictures again. This time I was really tempted to buy that huge jar of buttons as well as some vintage toy cars for my brother. I realised that I don’t need a jumbo jar of buttons and that my brother has probably outgrown toy cars. I did buy something that makes me smile when I look at it everyday. I’ll show you as soon as I take a picture of it.
