New In: Sadie's been shopping (a lot!)

Hi all, how was your weekend? Hope you all had a great time! I had a fun weekend and have some SHOPPING to show you! 

As I mentioned, I'm going to Fiji in 10 days, so wanted to get some cheapish new clothes to take with me. I find that year on year I have taken the same dresses to Miami and the Bahamas in 2008, Samoa 2009, Fiji and the Whitsundays in 2010 and was determined not to do it this year! I don't get the chance to wear these types of clothes other than on a tropical holiday, which is why they've come with me each year. So I bought a couple of newbies to mix in with the trusty oldies!

So here are the new holiday clothes!
A beach top that was a total bargain - $8!

I love this dress, it was $16 and is such a cute holiday dress! It's a thick cotton so is really stiff and lovely :D


Another top - this one buttons up the front and has a drawstring around the waist. LOVE the colours. Also $7
A fairly plain blue dress but it looked really nice on. I thought I can also get use out of this in every day life! $40
 

The bf when he saw me buying this top - "Not MORE animal print!" HA! $20
A playsuit which I envisage with high wedges! $35
Love the wooden buttons!
A super long maxi dress which will NEED high wedges!! $60
 
This dress looks really elegant, and I can wear it to work when the temperature gets a bit warmer! $50
 

A lot of new clothes to squeeze into my wardrobe!
 I told myself I DID NOT need sandals. I have tonnes of sandals from last summer. But when the bf was busy in one shop, I went a-wandering and spotted these fabulously sick glitter numbers and sadly couldn't leave without them. I've even already worn them on Saturday night!!
Do you love them!? $100
I bought the exact same wedge last summer, in cream and rope. They are SO comfy.
 ALSO new in, but not holiday related:
Genuine pearl drop earrings. Very exciting!!
Some jumbo heated rollers - any tips on use?? I've never tried them before!

My fabulous Michael Kors watch! I used the voucher that I won on Aprilia's blog towards this beaut!
Lots of new stuff - eek. What have you bought lately? :)

Roadtrip Day One: Wellington - Nelson - Kaikoura - Christchurch

On day one we woke early, flew to Nelson and picked up a car to drive all the way down to Christchurch. Here are some pics - spectacular scenery!!

Nelson - gorgeous!!

Our car and views over Kaikoura



It was dark by the time we arrived in Christchurch!
What a busy day we had!

Our friend Ed from the Bahamas is now in hospital with toxic tonsillitis - OMG!!!!! He has been there 24 hours and they are letting us know if he is to be released later this evening. He is due to fly back to the US on Sunday so fingers crossed he has recovered by then!

What are your weekend plans?? TGIF!!
