The Great Sale Rampage....

Don't you feel happy when you get your hands on real sale items ? i manage to get a few good bargains over the weekends. (",) pleasant experience... along pitt street itself's a maze and a hide out for shops that sells geniune leather bags, and prices are slashed at 50% to 70% as they are trying to get the winter stocks out, and the new springs ones in. (note : its not winter as the rest of the world experiences, its the other part, where christmas is summertime.)

Anyway, back to where I was... yes, bags... the colors of display. It ranged from orange, pink, yellow, red, meganta, turquiose, baby blue, all shades of nude, brown and blacks.. its really lovely to just stand amongst those little sacks of joy. Oh the happiness and excitement bags gives me. (",) No words can express that excitement, that contentment. Its a feeling that one feels, like a kid in a candy store, or a surfer in the best surf of waves, or the florist, catching the first wiff of spring flower smells. ( be it for the money or the interest... gawd knows...) Well, yes, I had that same experience. Its transcendental, to find that calming, perpectual rapture effect, in the mist of brilliant colors and hypnotising smell of leather... the fast adrenaline rushing in the midst of such beauties and the calling out -- "BUY ME!!" Simply too irresistable. I have to keep check of myself ... making sure I remain clear headed in the eye of the "hurrican", and that i don't go into a frenzy picking up EVERY brightly colored bag that i can find use for. ( that covers about everything.. and when it comes to bags... i don't have to be that creative to come up with anything or anywhere to use it for.) So, I did manage to grab from Australia's economy 5 bags - 1) a lilac clutch bag, 2) an ash black clutch bag, 3) a red leather suede handbag, 4) chic dark brown handbag, 5) turquiose colored handbag. I do love the last one -- its a lovely turquoise.. brilliantly colored. Lovely. :) I had just to stop myself, after buying 3 bags from one store before, and a fourth, which was quite a splurge. But i did like that fourth very much... brown, shoulder strap, simple, nicely shaped. Chic for casuals, and afternoon tea or shopping in the streets of singapore for instance....... OHHHH - how i miss shopping in Singapore. Where i can get clothes that are MY size.. shoes that are MY size... awwwwww... its such an anticlimax when you see that lovely pair of shoes on sale, and the smallest size that its made in is 2 sizes too big... TWO.. TWO!!!?? can you believe that?? damn!

But, talking about shoes, i did manage to get a lovely pair of heels. :) its pink, leather.. 2 1/2'', and absoluately gorgeous. I'll try to put a pic up -- it seems lovely to put pics in blogs.. i just never got round to doing that... trusting that i do such things for a living, i'm not too keen to do anything fancy other then typing away in my blog.. i'll see if i get around to doing that. :)

Oh yes... and guess what - i manage to get a pair of rashies for a good $20.. cool eh! And its lovely... Its been one that i've been eyeing even when i was back home early this year. Just jumped onto it when I saw that it was going for 29.95... but, to my utter surprise, when it was at the cashiers, there was further reductions to a swell $19.95. I love australian sales!!! Way to go Aussie shops! You do the Math, it is great to shop here... even after the exchange rate, which is 1.28 right now. (",) Though, I've just checked, its 1.30 now!!! thank goodness i changed it for 1.28.. phew! its those little stuff that i sting on - those pennies i save -- goes to the bag rampages.. heheh.. Would love to show you all the loot that I've got.. (",) we'll see how the mood goes for adding photos in later.

YUM!
