The Pod

Hello all! I did a little disappearing act, no? I was struck by the flu and as soon as I was feeling a little bit better, off to the City I went, to do some chores! I managed to do some stock-take sale shopping too…

Perth Craft Projects

Spotlight (a massive Australian craft store) was having a 1/2 price pattern sale, so I picked up quite a lot that I have been eying off for a while. Now, I just need to learn how to sew properly! They also were having a 20% off everything sale, so I got some cobalt-blue cotton yarn for a scarf and clean-cut, floral retro-fabric.

Wardrobe Shopping

Some new pants! I love it’s detail. I still have to learn to love it’s three quarter and skinny-leg style. If I don’t, they will make a great pair of shorts. I have finally got peep-toe white shoes. They were the last pair, and crazily it was in my size (11) and *not* wide fitted for my slender feet. They are leather and the heels are not like being on stilts. I  bought 4 shoes in total. Not photographed are my three new cardigans – they were about 70% off from Myers. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw them, as I have been looking all year for a maxi/boyfriend cardigans that LOOKS LIKE ONE on someone who is 5′11. Actually, everything I got was all less than 50% off the original price. I tend to only buy clothes when they are on sale as 1. most of my money goes towards Cocoa Pod and 2. it makes me feel a bit better knowing that people aren’t overly profiting on sweat-shop made things. Still wish that my whole wardrobe could be 100% indie made. How cool would that be?

Cocoa Pod Offline Supply Buying
