This is why I shop

When I crack screens I do so on cement, (usually on the way to the movies come to think of it).

So, as a cronic dropper of phones, I needed a case that could withstand a good throttle from myself. Not only has this candy shell lasted longer then any other phone has in my possession, but it's protected my phone from tantrums, butter finger, little siblings, being knocked off the table, and even the dreaded cement. 

Needed to spend the last $20 on a French Connection Gift Card that expired in a week. Although they had amazing heels i've got a whole plastic tub filled with them. 

These suede studded flats were amazing, last pair was in my size.. so it was fate.

But now subtract another $55 from my wallet.

All the Capitol Colours

I know they've ben out for a while but I couldn't resist. As a reward for finishing another hectic semester at Uni I splurged and got this nail polish set and couldn't be happier.

This is a site that I actually discovered through Tumblr. Possibly one of the coolest online shops that I've seen in a while, Especially if you're one of those people that can't stand cables lying all over your desk. 

Their products are perfect for people with my technology then they have power adapters for, or those that love simple, clean solutions to their work environment.  

If you have a geekey friend, tech savvy parent or are a friend of mine, something from here would be awesome.

As un-original as it may appear, when my friend had a 21st tea party I knew that I had finally found a reason to walk into one of those home ware stores that I was never allowed in as a child that constantly bumped into expensive chinaware.

When I though of a gift for sarah, I instantly tough of a tea set. Something practical, girly but not overly so, I think elegant is sort of the word I want to use here. My first stop was in T2, to see what the latest trends were in tea and tea cups/pots.

If I had the money to spare I would have picked up one of their beautiful T41 sets, (which is read as "tea for one"). 

$30 for a complete set. But the Pots are so small, I know that if it were for me I would down the whole thing in about 5 minutes... 

Instead across the hall way was plenty: kitchen + tableware, and look what i found.

  Avanti Tea Perfection fro 39.95.. probably not the best price around but it's the tea pot that I would want to use. It's said to hold 3 cups and has a niffty infuser for loose leaf tea. If I was smart I probably would have bought her a sample set from T2 or something, but instead there were these cute little mugs. 

They're called 2 carrot mugs, on sale for 19.95. Usually, I try to avoid the tradition of giving simple jewelry to girls for their 21st. I find that it's very common to do so when you don't know what else to give someone, or you have a bit of cash to spare. So, I thought this was a nice, tea related twist on that idea, since it's presented like a ring in a jewelry box.

So, after ther two wek period where my holidays co-incides with the all the mid year sales, I've finally gotten the courage to pay off my Credit card bill, actually to even glance at it. 

I've been holding off going through all the stuf that I've bought because ... I'll be honest, there's been too much to even catalogue. the month had only just begun and i was already $50 away from my credit limit. 

And yes, my mother's already given me the "live within your own means" speech. I just think I need to start working more, it kills two birds with one store.. I can't shop while I work, and it gets me moneyz.. disclaimer: only true if you don't work in retail, or buy lunch. 

whoa, thanks.. 

Future purchase.. I promise, i'm not usually so geeky, it's just that E3 has been on my mind. 

Rather then studying for my final exams, I've been browsing the "geekery" section of etsy.com. 

EB Games has me as a costumer for life, every time I decide I'm going to save my money there always that one game, which brings me into the store... then the manager pounces because she knows I'm weak. It doesn't help that she's my boss and knows all the games I want.

Here's my shopping list from the last few weeks: 

Deposited $30 for Assassin's Creed Revelations: Animus Edition

another $50 for Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, Explorer Edition.

I've got $50.85 sitting on Zelda: ocarina of time.. but that a gift so it doen't count.

$10 on Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

$10 on MW3, but my brother's going to pay me back.. i hope.

$10 on Mass Effect 3 which is going to use the Kinect capabilities .. so there goes another $200 $150 from Kmart... but you din't hear it from me.

I spent some time today trying to find dresses, in a bid to stop being so mistaken for a guy... sadly the weather is turning, winter isn't really made for dress wearing.
