Remote Shopping Spree!

So with the boyf in Israel this past month, I received one of those phone calls last night that most girls only dream of... The all-famous, toe-curling "what do you want me to buy for you?" phone call... *Sigh*

Needless to say, I think I may have taken it to a level far beyond what he expected - as in, he'd probably thought (in typical, naive male style) that I'd respond with a shortlist of 2 or 3 key items, along with strict instructions on colour, size, dimensions, etc. No such luck! In typical me-style I responded with a barrage of mood boards, images from Pinterest and screenshots from the H&M and Zara iPhone Apps... (Sorry about that, babe! But you opened Pandora's box). Not to mention strict instructions on what to select from sale rails for the summer 2012 season (just starting here in SA) and then from the upcoming winter season. Poor guy. The best bit of advice I have for him: find a friendly shop assistant about the same size as me, show her the pics, give her my sizes and let her do the shopping for you.

Some of the pics I sent to him:

I'm sure he gets the just... :) Just three more sleeps....

Hello Friday

Wonderful Friday!! Just spent a small fortune on cosmetics and fragrances at the Prestige Cosmetic Sale at Black River Park. What a wonderful shopping experience... Apart from the 1.5 hour wait in the queue.

Spent a small fortune on 3 perfumes (two for me and one for my gran), La Prairie foundations, Guerlain lipsticks, eye-liner, gloss, blusher, a Kanebo masque, more Shisheido make-up, the works! Well worth the long queue and definitely something I would like to attend again. Unfortunately offer only open to employees based at BRP...

Here's a pic of all my takings:

Kinda spent more than I intended. Far more. About R1700 more. Oops. But, seriously, it was a once-in-a-lifetime sale! And I now have Christmas and Birthday presents for every close to me. A bit of girl rationale, if I say so myself...

Happy Friday!!!
