Things I'm Digging | January 2015.

TV

The Librarians? Maybe?

It's quirky and funny and really reminds me of Warehouse 13.

MOVIE

??

To be honest, I didn't really see any movies last month. And if I did, they weren't that memorable (clearly).

BOOK

Angelfall by Susan Ee

Badass angels, my friends. Actual, legitimately terrifying angels. Really fast pace and great development of the world. All the love. Super keen to read the next one in the series.

MUSIC

'Photograph' by Ed Sheeran

The sweetest song ever. It is just my fav right now. I can't tell if it's supposed to be a sad song or a love song but either way, I'm all for it. Am so keen for seeing him in March.

FASHION/MAKEUP

The Red Lip

I've rediscovered it. And I've taken it back with a fury. It works in any season and it makes me feel like I can do anything. Loveeee it. Don't argue with me on this. The different lipsticks I have in the photo are:
Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in (400) Big Bang, Sportsgirl Pout About It Lip Colour in Bombshell, Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in (10) Rossetto, Ulta3 Lipstick in (016) Wet Red, Avon Perfect Wear Lip Colour in Crushed Cranberry, Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner Pencil in (021) Red Dynamite, and finally Calvin Klein Creme Lipstick in (31113) Dangerous.

&&&

And these are my favourites for the month of January. How about you guys? What were you enjoying last month?

Things I'm Digging | November 2014.

TV

Season 3 of The Newsroom

This is the last ever season of The Newsroom. Cue tears. So far, it is at it's peak of intensity. There are only two episodes left as I'm typing this, and I honestly have no idea how they're expecting to wrap it all up.

MOVIE

Mockingjay: Part 1

As I said on Twitter, for the most part, I enjoyed Mockingjay. There was definitely moments where it was a little navel-gazey, but I did enjoy it. This, however, is not me admitting defeat to the idea of the book being split into two films. I still don't see why it was necessary. But it was good. And, The Hanging Tree. Epic.

Also, has Liam Hemsworth grown in attractiveness since the last time I saw him, or?

MUSIC

Hozier

(His new self-titled album)

I just love him, ok? He's like an Irish Blues-loving Jesus. Is that blasphemous? It wasn't supposed to be. Just take a look at him, ok. Great album. Especially loving the track 'Sedated.'

BOOK/S

The Bone Season and The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon

Dark as hell, and I had to stop midway through Mime Order, but wowzas, guys. Shit happens in the second book. I'll keep it at that.

FASHION

Purple Jumpsuit

It's really hot and this jumpsuit is made of really like fabric and it's really comfortable. That's all I really ask for during summer. Thank you Trade Secret for amazing specials.

Haul | Forever 21 & Books.

I've been spending a lot recently. I think a lot of it's got to do with stress, but yes. I've been spending a lot. Too much. Anyway, I thought I'd do a brief blog post on some on my more recent purchases. It isn't going to be huge, but who cares?

Onwards!

Forever 21 has recently started opening stores in Australia. I know, we're finally getting with the times. Of course, I was intensely curious because all the YouTube beauty guru's buy everything from there. So, I went in.

These wedges were the first thing that caught my eye. As you very well know from my October Favourites post, I adore these shoes. They're just gorgeous. They are here on the Forever 21 website, if you'd like to take a peek. 

 I also bought this top. It's that funny material that isn't great to wear when it's hot. So I regret that? A little bit. But I mean, it'll be still be great to wear in the colder months. It's got the collar, and it's easy enough to dress up or down. It's here on the website if you'd like to take a look.

And then there was the books. I actually mentally allowed myself to go crazy in the book department. That says something about my development as a person that I only came away with three books. The first thing I got was Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon. Yep, I caved. I need more Jamie in my life, ok?

Then I decided to go on a sequels binge and bought Farseekers by Isobelle Carmody. It's the second in the Obernewtyn Chronicles. I first read Obernewtyn two years ago now, when I was in Paris. And I thought now was as a good a time as ever. She kind of takes forever to write these books, so my thinking is that if I read this series slowly I won't have the agonising wait for the last books. Seriously. She's like the female version of George RR Martin.

The last book I got was Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken. I'd really enjoyed The Darkest Minds when I'd first read it (again, nearly two years ago). Now, what with In the Afterlight (the final book) out, I thought this would be the perfect time to finish the trilogy. Also, I recently followed her on Twitter, so that might've influenced me a little bit.

&&&

And with that, we reach the end of the haul. Unless you want to count what I bought with an iTunes card I recently got. But let's not go there.

Have you guys bought anything interesting recently? Let me know, down in the comments.

Things I'm Digging | October 2014.

Let's end the week with an actual, current 'things I'm digging' feature. Then, we can move onto other things and you don't have to see the same thing every other day. Ok? Ok.

TV

Outlander

I actually started watching this one back in September, and didn't think much of it, so I stopped. Then, a couple of weeks later, I was listening to a lecture for one of my classes, and there was a guest lecturer, and he was Scottish. I don't know what happened, but it was like alarm bells were raised and basically I got suckered back into watching it because of the Scottish accents. I wish I was joking.

Also, Jamie? I literally want to giggle when I think about him. It's embarrassing. Never in my life have I felt the need to giggle over a guy - real or fictional. But Jamie is a special circumstance, apparently.

MOVIE

Gone Girl

Oh, wow. This movie takes you for a spin, doesn't it? I saw Gone Girl right at the start of the month, because the Mother is a huge fan of the book and was really eager to see it. It stayed with me for a few days afterwards. So, so well done. A little graphic in places, but wow. I honestly think Rosamund Pike should be given an Oscars' nomination. She was the best.

BOOK

Sabriel by Garth Nix or The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

I read a few good books this month. I couldn't choose between these two. Sabriel is a badass, and it wasn't what I expected. The Handmaid's Tale was what I expected but so much more. Both are very different. Both are well-written. Omg. I just have a lot of feelings on both of these books.

MUSIC

Taylor Swift

Soz, not soz. I don't know why, it just is. Deal with it.

MAKEUP/FASHION

Wedges (Forever 21) and Bright Lipstick

I love, love, love the wedges. They're amazing. Ridiculously high, but surprisingly comfortable. They're appropriate for more formal events and can be equally appropriate for casual times. They're great, I just love them.

I've just been really liking the whole fresh-faced, simple makeup look with a bright lip recently. For whatever reason, orange is the colour of choice. The lipstick I've been wearing nonstop is Maybelline's Colour Sensational in Orange Edge (980). It's really good because you can go hard-core orange, and really slather it on, or you can make it look more like a stain. Either way, it looks A+. (I swear that it is orange, it's just coming up as red in the picture for some reason)

&&&

And that is it! The end of my week of catch-up. From now on, you will only get the prescribed one 'things I'm digging' a month. Sorry, again. Hope that didn't bother you guys too much.

Anywho, what have you been up to? Anybody else stuck on Outlander as much as I am? Please tell me I'm not the only one in love with Jamie.

On a completely unrelated note, I'll be doing NaNoWriMo this year! If you're doing it, lemme know and we can be writing buddies. Click here for the link to my account.

Things I'm Digging | July 2014.

TV SHOW

I was gonna go with Suits this month. But then I decided to re-watch The Hour, and everything went down the hole. I've seen it being referred to as England's version of Mad Men. I've never watched Mad Men, so I don't know if that's accurate, but this is a bloody good piece of television. My utter devastation that it was never renewed for a third season is being relived as we speak.

MOVIE

The Lunchbox. It's an Indian film and it's just lovely. It's just one of those movies that are subtle and quiet but so enjoyable. Especially towards the end, I also found that there was a bit of commentary on how limited women still are in India. Was very interesting. So good!

MUSIC

I'll be honest, I haven't really been listening to any music recently. Some songs I've been enjoying though: Work Song by Hozier, and the Cloud Atlas End Title.

BOOK

Haven't been too impressed with the books I've read this month, unfortunately. One book I'm currently reading though, Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann, I'm really enjoying.

MAKEUP/FASHION

Dotti had an online sale. 50 items for 50% off. An anorak I'd been coveting was among those 50 items. Thus, we're here.

&&&

So, they were my favourites this month. I'm back at uni now, and I actually have a lot of work to do, so I'm a little worried with how my blog is going to fare. We'll see though. Hopefully, it'll fight through the storm and triumph.

Haul | I'm Having a Guilt Moment.

I went on a tiny bit of a spending spree. I know, ridiculous right? What girl in her right mind would spend money after getting her hair done? But I had a gift voucher from Priceline and it all went down hill from there. Here is a summary of things bought:

So, really, not a lot. It's enough though.

So, first things: Shoes from Rubi. If you've ever been into Rubi, you know that there are the standard 2 for $10, 2 for $20 deals. These came in under the 2 for $30 deals.

 The first ones are gorgeous and way comfortable. I feel like they'll go with a lot of things, despite being white (which is something I generally avoid. I'm clumsy, and clumsy = stains and spills). You can find them here on Rubi's website.

This was the second pair I bought. Look, I know it's not summer yet. I'm not completely nonsensical. I won't wear these in winter. It's only a matter of time before things start getting warm. I feel like I'll be wearing these a lot in the coming months. They're gorgeous, and again, really comfortable. If you wanna look at them, they're here.

So, that's about all I got in the fashion department. Onto beauty!

As I'm sure surprises nobody, I'm apart of the Priceline Sister Club (or whatever it's called). Anyway, I came home one day to find a letter from them. For all my spending, I got a gift voucher. So, off I popped to my local Priceline. These were the end results.

There was/is a 50% all Rimmel products sale going on at the moment - fellow Australians, throw caution to the wind.

 It's a new nail polish. I know I don't need one, and in hindsight this might be a little similar to another one I have but it's lush. It's Rimmel's I Love Lasting Finish Nail Polish in the colour 503 No Tan Lines Here. As I'm sure you can imagine, that hit close to home and I snatched it up. Please note that in the picture, I'm wearing a different nail polish. I feel like you guys would know that but just in case.

 This is Rimmel's Scandal Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in 005 Nude. I might be marathoning DerpinaMode videos at the moment, and I might've gotten this just because Marion said it was great. Ok? Ok.

This was both my last Rimmel purchase and my last Priceline purchase. It's a red lipstick (no surprises there). It is Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 10 Rossetto. I could've sworn that when I swatched it in the store, it was darker, but omg it's still an amazing red. Very excited.

There was one other makeup item I procured. Recently, it came to my attention that Target was now selling NYX products. Because I've spent literally years hearing about NYX and how great it is and not actually being able to get anything because *Australia,* I thought it was about time I gave it a go.

So I got the NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil in EP01 Light Brown. They're surprisingly good prices. Like, I won't lie, I expected it to undergo the Australia treatment and become a little exxy. But it hasn't. And, it looks pretty good on my watch (I mean, I'm not good with eyebrows, so that's not saying much but eh).

Below, I've swatched all the things that can be swatched.

From top to bottom is: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner (005 Nude), NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil (EP01 Light Brown) and Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick (10 Rossetto).

Lol, remember that time I said I was done with the fashion side of things? That was a lie. I went to The Silver Shop. Yep, trouble ahead.

So, I'd kind of been lusting after the elephant ring for a while and decided to go in and see if they had my size in stock. While I was waiting to get served, I spotted the flower ring. Lord help me, this shop.

Basically: The Silver Shop so rarely has my size in when I try more than one ring on, that I took it as a sign. I gobbled up both. I don't even regret it. They are the Keeper to my heart.

So, that's my haul. I won't be spending any money for at least the next two weeks unless utterly necessary. Oh my god, I'm so poor. No. No regrets. Ugh.

Have you guys purchased anything cool recently? Let me know in the comments. We can chat!

Things I'm Digging | June 2014.

TV

I won't lie. I was planning on saying Orphan Black. I decided that I'd finally just go ahead and see what all the fuss was all about. It's good, it really is. But then I thought to myself, 'I'm not being entirely honest with myself, am I?'

So, here we are. The TV show I've been obsessing over adoring lately is House Rules. Unfortunately, it's probably entirely foreign most of you lovely readers. It's basically a reality show (yes, I know. We *must* frown on reality shows, right?) where six couples renovate each other's houses. There's a little more to it, but the winner basically gets their mortgage paid off. I'd argue that all the contestants are winners though - they all go away with a newly renovated house. For free!

It might have been the thing that triggered the bedroom reno (not that I needed a huge push, but still). It's just a genuinely good-not-having-to-think-much show. I want Adam and Lisa to win, and The Mother has decided I need to marry someone like Adam. The more you know, amiright?

MOVIE

I saw a lovely little musical called Sunshine on Leith last month. It doesn't have a particularly complicated plot, but it's just lovely. It makes me so happy. I really recommend you just sit down and watch it. You won't regret it. It'll make a bad day much sunnier.

Also, it really makes me want to move to Edinburgh, but that is not the point here.

And the Scottish accents are amazing.

MUSIC

To be honest, I haven't really listened to any music this month. There are two albums I'm ridiculously keen on buying though: Passenger's Whispers, and Ed Sheeran's X. These two lovely humans are some of my favourite musicians. I've been streaming the songs on YouTube. They're gonna be good.

BOOK

I want to say Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas, but I can't. Because, technically I read that in May. But I'd already put my favourites post up. Don't worry though, there's going to be a review coming up. Pinky promise.

Instead, we're going with To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. This was my introduction into Han's writing, and I didn't really know what to expect. I would be lying if I said that the cover and the title really didn't draw me in, however. It was just a genuinely good book.

Someone asked me to write a full review of this one, so I won't go into too much depth here. It's just the book I needed at the time.

MAKEUP/FASHION

All the jumpers. Just, all the jumpers.

&&&

What about you? What have you been loving this past month?

Things I'm Digging | May 2014.

Oh my god. It's nearly halfway through 2014. I feel like I've been utterly useless. This is ridiculous.

TV

Admittedly, this one isn't actually out yet. But. It looks pretty wicked. Yes, I'm talking about How to Get Away with Murder. It just looks like it has the potential to fascinating. Viola Davis is in it. A+. Alfie Enoch is in it. A++.

MOVIE

This is a bit of a cheat, but I'm going to say The Fault in Our Stars. I know, I know. It isn't out in cinemas yet. But I've seen it. So. The Fault in Our Stars has always very finely tread the line of cheesy and good, so I was a little hesitant. I shouldn't have been. There's something so authentic about it. It isn't trying to be anything but itself. I love it. You need to watch it. Ok. Done.

MUSIC

Lily Allen's new Album, Sheezus. I still don't like the album name. I don't think I ever will. But it's a good album. She's matured, and her songs have along with her. There's still the special Lily Allen Snark and Cheek, but it's good. Really digging it. Some of her songs just make me smile (I'm looking at you, L8 Cmmr).

BOOK/S

Unsurprisingly, I have two book recommendations this month. Unlike last month, I read a whole bag of goodies. I tried to keep it to a non-fiction and a fiction book though. My non-fiction choice for this month is Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. This is a bit of a feminist manifesto. It's about women in the workplace and taking on leadership roles. When I was talking to the Mother about it, all I kept saying was, 'It's like all these things I'd been taking in subconsciously were being voiced.' If I had to critique anything, it'd be that as the book progressed, it became clear that it was aimed at women older than myself (it discussed having children, balancing motherhood and work, etc. etc. as an 18-year old, you can understand why it was a bit out of my depth). Not to worry, however! If you, like me, are on the younger scale of womanhood, Ms Sandberg released a new edition! Lean In: For Graduates! Needless to say, I'm definitely picking it up soon.

The fiction book I absolutely adored this May was The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. I'm only mildly obsessed. I can honestly not wait till the next book. I kind of want to say that if you're a fan of Throne of Glass, you'll like this, but I'm not sure if I should. Where Celaena is a badass killing machine, Kestrel is much more of a strategiser. Where Celaena is very sure of herself from the get-go, Kestral takes a little time to develop. And I'm still not sure where I stand on Arin. What I am, however, is absolutely fascinated to see where the story will go next. Basically, it's already on my list of top reads of 2014.

MAKEUP/FASHION

I'm going to have to go with the L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim (in Intense Black) for this month. It just makes applying liquid liner so easy (and coming from someone with little to no hand-eye coordination, that's the highest compliment you can get). I've tried a couple of liquid liners in my life, and this is the best, by far.

&&&

What about you guys? Any books that are new favourites? Movies you're forcing everyone to watch?

Outfit of the Day | 21/05/2014

I was channeling my inner-Taylor Swift. Because why the hell not? 

*cue terrible lighting*

Things I Wear:

Stripey Jumper | Dotti

Pleather Shorts | Dotti

Shoes | Target

Things on My Face:

Avon Extralasting Concealer | Fair

Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush | Classic Rose (220)

Sugar Baby Glow Getter | (it's a bronzer, but I used it as eyeshadow)

By Terry Silky Eyeshadow | Cafe Noir/Coffee Bean (10)

Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara | Glam Black (K001)

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer | Big Bang (400)

It's gotten to that time of the year where I don't know if it's appropriate to wear all the warmth, or just wear a mixture of both or whatever. Ugh. Weather. (No, but seriously. Winter is my favourite season. So much excitement for this).

Things I'm Digging | April 2014.

TV:

I'd like to call myself a 'casual viewer' of this show. If that's possible. Basically, The Brother decided to force The Mother to watch the first season of Game of Thrones with him. His xBox's internet wasn't working. He was bored. He decided to pester her. She got hooked. I got home for a week's break from university, and The Mother is staring, wide-eyed at the TV.

I decided to pop in and out of the living room and watch it. The Brother begrudgingly let me do this. So, yep. It's good, I guess. I can see why it's addictive. Love the world. Love the dragons.

All I think you need to know is that Sansa is A+ and I think one of the women are going to end up on the throne. Happy? Happy.

Movie:

I didn't watch a whole lot of movies last month (Read: probably zero. Unless we're counting re-watches. Then 'Stuck In Love' wins by a mile). But the If I Stay trailer was released. I was close to tears watching it. I'm so unbelievably excited for this movie. So bloody excited. The casting is A+ (hello Jamie Blackley) and it's all how I imagined it when I read it and omg. Just very exciting.

Music/s:

Ok, I couldn't decide between 'Say Something' by A Great Big World and 'Song for Sienna' by Brian Craine. They're quite different. One is pure instrumental and the other isn't. Because of that, I thought they both deserved a spot.

I've been mildly obsessed with 'Say Something' since (you guessed it) the If I Stay trailer. Plus, I'm going to see A Great Big World when they tour in Australia later this year (Best Friend Mel is obsessed). They're basically Mika2.0. I'm not even kidding. Their songs are so happy, it's ridiculous.

The other is 'Song for Sienna' which is just the loveliest piano piece. So good to write to, too. Basically: I'm trying to learn it on the piano now.

Book/s:

I didn't really read a whole lot of books that wowed me last month. I'm gonna say the Mary Quinn Mysteries Series by Y.S. Lee. While not necessarily realistic, it's just a really gorgeous little set of books. You fall in love with James and Mary and the author does an A+ job at recreating Victorian London (which is probably a good thing given she has a phD in Victorian literature and culture).

Make-Up/Fashion:

My obsession with Dotti continues to grow. They had a 30% storewide sale. I got a little excited. Thus, we're here. I got a big, chunky cardigan that is ridiculously warm. I'd been eyeing these pleather shorts for a while, and the sale finally kicked me into gear. I don't know why I wanted them. I just did. Don't question me on this.

Earlier this year, I also made a pledge to myself. I wouldn't buy as much jewellery. Instead, I'd buy fewer and better quality pieces. Then I found The Silver Shop. It's been my best friend since then. While in there, helping The Mother find a present, I came across this ring. In love was I, and I bought it. It's just so gorgeous and delicate and ahhh. Feel the love.

&&&

So, what were some of your favourites from last month? Did you do anything exciting?

Outfit of the Day | 18/03/2014

This is my I-wasn't-feeling-100-percent-but-I've-got-uni-so-I'm-going-to-dress-like-a-50's-beach-goddess-to-look-better-than-I-feel look. Excuse the poor quality. When I moved back to college, I didn't bring my camera with me.

I love me some high-waisted shorts as much as the next person, but I cannot wear these suckers for long amounts of time.They just start making me feel a little ill.

Where I bought Stuff:

Shirt / ASOS

Shorts / JayJays

Makeup Used:

Avon Everlasting Concealer | Fair

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow | Barely Branded (70)

Sugar Baby Glow Getter Bronzer (but I used as eyeshadow because yolo)

Avon Super Magnify Mascara | Black

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer | Big Bang (400)

I'm trying to incorporate more fashion-y things into my blog, so be prepared for that. I guess. We'll see how it goes?

I know it's March. I know, that's supposed to mean it's Autumn. Problem is, Australia appears to have misplaced its seasons. I'll keep you updated on if that changes. Hopefully it will soon.

Haul | ASOS

Ok, so I know I'm trying to avoid buying things, but ASOS had a sale. I got click-happy. Long story short, I bought some things. Not a lot. But you know. Things. Also, let's ignore my face. It's a butt. I didn't know what expression to do.

 I only bought four things. All were on sale, of course (*raise your hand if you're a poor uni student*). So, here we go! If you're interested in any, I'll link them if I can find them.

1.

Brat & Susie Pug Christmas Shirt / link

(I couldn't find the t-shirt, but I got the jumper, so it's a sort of win?) 

Yes, I know. It's not Christmas anymore. God, get with the times, Jocie. This was like a good deal cheap and also, it's never too late to start getting excited for Christmas. AmIright? I mean, I'm pretty keen for Easter because *chocolate* but yea. *Christmas Feelings Intensify*

2.

ASOS High Waist Culotte Shorts / link

Yes, my friends. These are pants. I know. My life was made too. I'm fondly calling them my 'Lydia Martin pants' because they make me feel like Lydia from Teen Wolf. So. Yes. So freaking comfortable though. 

3.

ASOS Skater Dress with Pintucks / link

I have a lot of dresses. Probably too many. This was half-price though, and it looked really flattering on the model. Not the best angle, but it does look lovely in real life.

4.

ASOS Swing Cami / link

Let's ignore the deep face, yes? Again, this looks a lot nicer in real life. It's just me and my awkward posing that make it bad. 

&&&

So that's my haul. Not a whole lot to sing home about, but I'm happy with the purchases. All lovely. Nothing damaged. Much good.

My Love for Marc Jacobs Perfumes is Starting to Show

If there's got to be one good thing about Valentine's Day, it's the accompanying sales. You're all probably thinking I mean chocolate sales. This is understandable because I am a chocolate fiend, but that isn't the thing (though it is a nice side note). It's actually perfume.

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but here in Australia perfume is pretty pricey (and by pretty pricey, I actually mean really pricey). So, when I found out that Priceline was having a two day perfume sale, and that ALL perfume was going to be 40% off, I screamed. Then presently planned my ambush on the nearby store.

I've been a marginally huge fan of Marc Jacobs perfumes since Dot first caught my eye back in 2012. I had managed to snag an 100mL bottle of it while I was in England and have loved it ever since. Marc Jacobs is expensive though, so I've mostly spent my year coveting them from afar. Now I can successfully say I have added two more to my collection!

OMG. JUST LOOK AT THE PRETTY, OK? So. Pretty.

So, I guess I should tell you the ones I got? The two I bought were 'Daisy,' and 'Daisy Eau So Fresh.' I know, I know. It sounds like there isn't really any difference, but trust me. There is.

Now, smells/ingredients/things about the perfumes you might want to know:
(other than the fact that they're amaze balls)

Dot:

Top Notes - Red Berries

Mid Notes - Jasmine

Base Notes - Driftwood

Daisy Eau So Fresh:

Top Notes - Natural Raspberry, Grapefruit and Pear

Mid Notes - Violets, Wildrose and Apple Blossom

Base Notes - Musks, Cedarwood and Plum

Daisy:

Top Notes - Strawberry and Violet Leaves

Mid Notes - Violet Petals and Jasmine Bouquet

Base Notes - Musk and Vanilla Infusion

I don't know if you'd actually like to know any of this, but in case it helps you *visualise*, there you go.

Generally, with these sorts of things, I end up feeling mildly guilty. Won't lie though, I ain't even feeling that right now. More than anything, I'm feeling smug. And quietly pleased with myself. I bought two Marc Jacobs perfumes for the cost of $170. That sounds like a lot, but one 100mL bottle of Daisy in Australia is $149. So there.

Sales shopping at its finest. I guess this was a bit of a haul thing, but kind of not? I don't know. I just wanted to share my happy feelings with someone, and this is the end result.
