So many cute pieces from the Milk and Honey Winter ’11 collection (Love and Chaos)! I seriously want them all! ♥ Just a couple I am eyeing…

Tallulah Skirt and Jacket

Tallulah Party Dress

Stellar Dress

Distressed Skirt, Distressed Jacket, Silver Heart Tee

Distressed Dress

Garden of Shadows Zip Dress

All Creatures Eyelet Dress

Scout Jacket

I ended up getting three things… The Tallulah Skirt, Stellar Dress, and Silver Heart Tee ♥ The colours on The Stellar Dress is just gorgeous! It kind of remind me of the purple Black Milk Galaxy Leggings (which I also want want)…

I’m really tempted to get more, but I’m worried about sizing as I’ve never bought from Milk and Honey before… I’ve eyed things from them before, but never managed to try them on. I really hope these fit well, so I can go on and order something else (perhaps the Distressed skirt)!

But but but, they were having a sale, and how could I  possibly resist…?

So, once again… Forgive me, for I have sinned.

And just when I was telling Mr AG how proud I was of myself that I haven’t shopped for a while… till he read out the credit card charges (I’ve made a small Cotton On purchase 2 days ago, and a Glassons purchase 4 days back)… Sheepish I was.

It seriously felt like it’s been a while…!

Anyway, these are the goodies I’m waiting for in Mr AG’s mail… hopefully soon.

First up in the first row is the Gemma dress in red; I’ve mentioned in this post in a wishlist (finally bought one, and here’s hoping it’ll fit nicely!).

From the website: “An amazing bright red summer dress with scoop neckline, button tab sleeves and contrast trim edging. The dress is fitted with a full skater style skirt with subtle pleats. A cut out v-back with button closures means you can bare some skin!”

Second row, the Sassy skirt in coral. I really like the way it flows, looks airy fairy! And I wanted something in coral too (don’t have many if any!)

From the website: “Introducing our new skater style Sassy skirt in coral. The cotton skirt is full with slight pleats and falls to the mid-thigh – absolutely perfect for summer! Team with wedges or sandals.”

And in third row is the Patsie maxi pleat skirt in wine. And usually, anything past the knee I wouldn’t like. But this one looks very versatile, and very feminine.

From the website: “A beautiful wine coloured maxi skirt in a sheer fabric with knife pleats. The skirt is fully lined for a dramatic look.”

I’ve been wanting some merino wool tops for ages since I’m never warm enough and heard that merino wool is the way to go… I’ve visited some stores but they were a bit pricey and I just left it at that…

But tonight,  finally got some!

I bought 4 different merino wool basics/tops in different colours via the Glassons website for a pretty good price at just under NZD100 (plus I’m really sick at the moment and always feeling cold, so the purchase is quite easily justified)!

So, hopefully these will arrive sooner than later, and will help me through the cold, lonely days (hehe).

Bonus points: They now ship to Australia for free! I think it actually started today as well! YAY =]

So I went a bit crazy over the last couple of days, placing a few ASOS orders back-to-back.

But! I’m really excited as I’ve finally got the 50′s knitted dress that I’ve been hoping for (written in this post), in the petite size 10. I really hope it fits okay…

And the Vero Moda fit and flare dress I got (red, size 38) (in this post) that I suspected to be a bit big but ordered it anyway because it ran out of sizes? I went ahead and bought another one when the black size 36 came back in stock! So now I’ve got more of a chance of having this dress fit (silly, I know!)

I also snagged a sold out coat I’ve wanted that came back in stock in my size (I suspect someone returned it as there was only one left)… Too many coats won’t hurt, especially in winter (so I say…) =]

But, this time, it was for my brother. Sort of…

He’s been wanting a coat, and I found a nice looking trench, and decided to order it for him.

ASOS Funnel Neck Trench Coat

Shell: 62% Wool, 19% Viscose, 19% Polyester
Lining: 100% Polyester

He’s been going to the gym lately, and looks a little bulkier, so I ordered this coat in the large. Hopefully it fits nicely enough when it arrives, but should do as coats are usually more forgiving.

The problem was this dress…

Vero Moda 50′s Fit And Flare Prom Dress

I actually spent ages reading reviews and such for sizing… Basically, what I gathered was an array of mixed reviews. Some say Vero Moda dresses are true to size, and some say that they have dresses that are on the smaller side, and some say it is a little generous in size.

Ahhhh, Y U SO INCONSISTENT?

In general, for this specific dress, I came to the conclusion that it will be a little on the generous side… so being a size AU 10, I should be getting the EU 36…

BUT!

Size EU 36 was sold out in both the red and the black (It’s still available in the brown, but I’m not very fond of it)… and so I pondered and pondered on the size EU 38…

Since that was running low on stock as well, ASOS is having a 50% off summer sale at the moment and I love the dress so much and I simply could not resist… I took the plunge and bought the red in size EU 38 anyway.

SO. I hope it fits well!

I found myself finishing uni late again tonight, so I volunteered for Mr AG to pick me up… and thank goodness he was there when I was the last one in lab!

As I was concentrating on something, I heard a loud whoop whoop noise, and freaked out so badly! For the remaining of the evening, I had him stand right next to me in case I heard noises and freaked out again.

A bloke from another lab came and asked if I heard that, and apparently, there were fire trucks outside the building. As we left, the corridor doors were shut, and we pushed through and left as quickly as we could. Till now, I still don’t know what it was… perhaps a false call?

Anyway, we were glad to be out of there. Cold and hungry, we wandered into Taste of Thai (Randwick), and had a dinner there.
