Christmas has come early... and so have the SALES!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been a little indulgent with the self-gifting this Christmas. Lover's "Untitled" collection has been a particular weakness. A couple more pieces arrived in the post this week.

Lover silk dress, $290 from ebay


Lover lace dress... very expensive but lovely ;)

Many online retailers have started their sales early, which is exciting and daunting at the same time. Here's what's on my post-Christmas wishlist:

Shoes, $99 and Headband, $25 from Mimco




Wedges, $80 and $60 from Tony Bianco





Lover velvet pants, $180, silk dress, $220 and silk slouch shorts, $150 from Shopbop

Now the vital question: Do I really like these? Or am I just getting sucked in because they're on sale? A savings is really a loss if you didn't want/ need the item in the first place. I have several items in my closet or on their way to the op-shop that I hardly/ never wore and mostly because I got sucked in by a sale. But I think most of the above are the real deal. Opinions? I can't afford all of these, so would love some help in narrowing it down!

  1. thanks for your comment! great blog!
    I feel as confused sometime when I buy sale items, it's why I try to steer clear. I don't trust myself haha

  2. haha had a little giggle at the post below - i had a lot of lover but just sold a wee bit of it on ebay!

    I got that portrait dress but am yet to wear it, it's so pretty though. And jealous about the muse? dress! I have been eyeing that one up. Hmm i think sometimes with sales it is easy to just get sucked in.. I think I do a lot and buy things I shouldn't although I try to get a lot of wear out of whatever it is I end up with!

  3. They are absolutely gorgeous, but the question is whether you already have similar items in your wardrobe...that's always the deciding factor for me.
