Friday Fashion Fix: Recycle Boutique!

Hello all! How has your week been? It's Friday afternoon here, woohoo!! I can't believe how quick another week has flown by!

I have had a good week and am going away for the weekend with my boyfriend so I am looking forward to that! I've caught a bit of the dreaded 'lurgy' that's been going around work (darned winter!) so am taking it easy tonight in hope that I will be a bit better tomorrow.

I also sold FOUR things in my Etsy Shop this week!! AMAZING!!

So last Friday I shared my previous Friday shopping excursion, THE Trelise Cooper dress. Well that same Friday, I spent my lunch hour rummaging around in Recycle Boutique. I wanted a new jacket / dress / ANYTHING but came away with a fabulous bag and pair of shoes instead!

They were in SUCH awesome condition that I couldn't leave them there! (Does this happen to you?!)

Whad'ya think??
I LOVE white bags and this one is HUGE! It was $38 and was originally from Country Road :)

These shoes had been worn barely once...the soles and heels were immaculate. I have since worn them to the orchestra last Saturday :)
Shoes, leather, by Siren, and were $25!!!!!!
 

This is AFTER I wore them last weekend!


Awesome deals!

And one other thing for your viewing pleasure - my nails!
 

As you can see if you look closely, some of them are peeling as I think I need a bit more practice applying them!



I bought these ages ago and have only gotten around to trying them this week as they seemed a bit fiddly.
They weren't TOO bad but I did have the bf holding the hairdryer for me as I applied them! At first I wasn't sure about them but now I quite love them!!! 
What do you think?
As you will see from this:
I have even coordinated my jewellery and clothes with them!!! hahaha


What are your weekend plans? :)

    Oh I've tried that manicure before!! It was soo cool- but same happened to me, it began to peel right away on some nails. It's difficult to get used to applying them. Actually, I've seen Sally Hansen ones that are a gummy nail polish material rather than paper. I haven't tried them yet, but I wonder if they are easier to use...? Those thrift finds are something else- especially the shoes! They are in perfect condition- I don't blame you for adopting them!
