Cheeky Treats // Spring Edit

Cheeky Treats

asos sunglasses / Topshop slouchy shirt / Shorts, $120 / Play Comme des Garçons sneaker / Monica Vinader neon pink bracelet / ASOS sunglasses / Eyeshadow / Maybelline lipstick / Maybelline beauty product / TIGI styling product, $22

Topshop Quilted Jumper: This actually came in the mail today (along with a pastel blue sheer panel tee), and it was all very exciting! I had actually ordered this a month back but when it came to packaging my order Topshop had sold out, so when I saw it back on the website I snapped it up so quick it was all a blur. The colour of this jumper is AMAZING, it is a pastel peachy orange, but quite vibrant. The material is super soft and feels like good quality reflecting the mid-range price tag. It is slightly shorter than I had imagined, but it's super cute and it will go with almost everything in my wardrobe. This is why I am a slave to Topshop.

American Apparel Sunflower Dungarees: Firstly, could we take a moment to appreciate how cute these are?! I am totally obsessed with dungarees at the moment. Not sure how it happened but all I know is a spend a good part of everyday trolling through online stores seeking them out (how exciting my days must seem...). When I spotted these, I just knew it was meant to be, I had visions of summer days out in these bad boys, and with about four clicks on the computer our future together was sealed. 

Converse Comme des Garcons PLAY: These were a bit of a fangirl purchase as I had seen Danielle Bernstein from WeWoreWhat wear these on her blog and I just though they were so cool. They are still simple and effortless like all converse, but I like that they are a slight variation of the classic. Anyway, as I was contemplating getting white low cuts ones anyway, I figured why not be a bit of a copy cat and get some that will make me feel a lil' bit special. The only downside is that I have had them on pre-order for about a month now, and I'm impatient, the suspense continues.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Duo in 'Raisins': This I have had my eye on for MONTHS. I had swatched it at the Estee Lauder counter dozens of times. I had come so close to buying it a few times, but it NZ it carries a rather hefty price tag of $70. I don't have a problem paying for high-end products, but in comparison to countries in Europe and the UK, this one was way over priced. Alas, it had come into stick on Strawberry Net for a little bit less so I decided to bite the bullet and splurged. 

Monica Vinader Fiji Bracelet: I can't say I'm really one for designer, or expensive jewellery, but this ticked all the boxes. I actually got this in silver with the fluoro pink cord (couldn't find the right picture). Silver, for me, is timeless and something I know I'm not going to grow out of, and matches the other couple pieces I have. I love the simplicity of it, with a pop of colour. It is just soooo pretty!...but very much a splurge.

Maybelline Colour Whisper & Mega Plush Mascara: Recently I fell back in love with my Revlon Lip Butter in 'Strawberry Shortcake', and wanted to try something similar so I picked this up in the shade 'Petal Rebel' which is a brighter, but still sheer pink. The mascara is also something new to try, I am a devoted Maybelline mascara fiend, especially the Falsies, and heard a lot of good reviews of this one going around so am excited to see how it measures up to the Colossal Cat Eye and the Falsies Black Drama.

ASOS Embellished Cat Eye Sunglasses: Who can resist a ASOS sale, eh? These were a total bargain at about $15NZ. I must admit I am not much of a sunglasses person but I love the cat eye trend paired with the cute embellishments. I have been contemplating this style since seeing Kourtney Kardashian sporting them like a total babe, another fangirl buy! ;)

Tigi S-Factor Smoothing Lusterizer: This is a re-purchase, and a firm favourite of mine. I had run out a month or so ago and last week realized how much I missed it. It smells like a total dream and adds the most amazing sparkle and shine to hair, all while actually doing something good for it - snaps for Tigi S-Factor! 

Well... If anyone at all actually read this far I applaud you, but I know that's quite a stretch! haha

Anyone else have a serious "oh, just treat yourself" problem???

Lusting Over: This Week

London // Topshop Tea and Cake Tee // NARS Sheer Glow foundation // Topshop Joni Jeans in 'Blue' // Estee Lauder duo in 'Raisins' // Gossip Girl S6 (Chuck Bass- *sigh*)

I've done pretty well in the last week or so and not splurged as I usually do, I must admit this is quite a big deal for me! I'm still managing to squeeze my daily online browse though, no harm in looking right!? ;)
I've been obsessed, and I mean obsessed with going to London for at least a year now and I am going to make it my personal mission to get there in the next year or two.
The tee has been in my 'saved items' on Topshop for over a month, still makes me laugh, still love it; may have to treat myself.
The cult NARS Sheer Glow; really want to try it out and see what all the fuss is about!
Topshop jeans, got my first pair a few months ago and I need a few more in my life. Such a good staple piece.
Estee Lauder in 'Raisins'- soooo pretty = NEED
This is one of the few series I have been seen from start to end (well, almost) and been totally immersed in all the way through. (Rooting for Chuck and Blair)

I'm looking forward to seeing how long I will last before some of these will start appearing in my mailbox...
