operation sales aficionado


so, I love online shopping!
I loooove it.
Unfortunately 99% of items that end up in my cart, never make it to check out.
I have missed out on so many amazing sales and items that I would love to call my own, because I just can't seem to commit to the buy.
I also only have a debit card, so unless I transfer money over, I never make the purchase.

To stop myself from turning into an online shopping addict, I am giving myself a budget of $50 a fortnight to spend on something fabulous that I really want (and hear me out here) INSTEAD of buying something I stumble across at my local shopping centre that I might not particular love, but y'know it's there in front of me... I really am lazy.

However, these days there is a super competitive market for cheap online clothing retailers with FREE shipping. I definitely don't want to turn into one of those (only shops online) people either and for outfits I know I need I will still be hitting up my favourite stores in person. For two reasons; the first is to keep the retail industry alive and the second is, I don't trust freight companies as far as I can throw them (as in, at all).

So without further ado, here is my current updated list of websites and my favourite online buys:

We Love Fine
lemongrab: you made me // lemongrab: unacceptable // deadpool: little yellow boxes // wall.e: pixels // deadpool: this guy // cake: sweet babies //

note: I am trying to AVOID WeLoveFine because they have a gazillion tees that I want.... I am scared for my bank account to go on the website lol


LazyOaf
aliens baseball tee ($73) // watermelon shorts ($89) // watermelon backpack ($78) // pizza beanbag ($114) // pizza ring ($57) // freak earring pack ($29) // cat socks ($13) // pizza necklace ($22)

I love LazyOaf, they have my their finger permanently on my style buzzer, unfortunately the conversion between British Pounds and the Aussie Dollar makes buying things a bit um, expensive.
I really can't afford to splash out $114 on a bean bag cover OR $78 on a backpack or $57 on a single ring... Alas, I can only dream...


More to come :)

follow me on bloglovin

check out the official link (woohoo) ^^^

 I haven't really put my blog out there, I'm still hoping to twerk it up, get my shiz together in terms of photo posting/editing & I would love to have some stuff scheduled. I'm just not there yet, but I'm hoping by the end of the month I will be. *fingers crossed* I love blogging writing and I love photos and there are so many blogs out there that just endlessly inspire me.

I have only just started commenting & I'm hoping to become less of a creeper, because I swear I'm not weird in a bad way! Eeek. 

Anyway, even if I am the only person in the world reading it, I still want to put lots of effort into my blog.
Wish me luck invisible readers *cricket cricket*

I Heart Deadpool


My mother always told me that I have an "obsessive personality" which meant two things to me, one: I was never allowed to do hard drugs and two: I have always been a massive fangirl
I'm talking many phases growing up: Hot Wheels, Marvin the Martian, Mr. Bump and even animals such as ducks, cats and the humble platypus. I'm not going to give you my list, because I'm sure I will blog about all of my obsessions at one point or another. Today I am talking about my favourite Merc with a Mouth.


Deadpool is my one true comic book love, the character who really dragged my ass back to the comic book world three years ago. My second comic book love is Catwoman (obviously) - anyway, back to Wade Wilson <3. Just look at him...



Not only is he the biggest smart-mouth/shit-talking/bad-ass/immortal mercenary in the Marvel Universe but his backstory isn't exactly a pretty one (cancer + failed experiment) but let's face it, he definitely made the most of a bad thing and is the taco-loving, gun-weilding sociopath we know and love today! :D



Oh, did I mention this month his game is released (26th June for Australia) and I can't wait!!!!!
Deadpool made his on screen debut in X Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009 and I don't want to get into a long rant about his character portrayal but let's just leave it at, I found it disappointing.
I love Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, I just hate that they took away his mouth which is his main asset! Seriously people!


There are still updates on the spin off X Men Origins: Deadpool film *fingers crossed* and I have a feeling it will rely soley on the popularity of this new game. As a whole though, he has gotten a million times more popular in the recent years, everyone is jumping on the Deadpool bandwagon which is a double edges sword for a fangirl. 1) The secret satisfaction of loving something that few people know about vs 2) The fanbase demanding more things (more comics, clothing, collectibles, games, movies) - meaning more things for you to fangirl about, but on a bad day, man do I wish I had him all to myself. Haha.



Okay, enough ranting, I'm sure you get by now that I HEART DEAPOOL, so here is my list of current collectable gems that the Deadpool fanbase demand is popping out (I can't stay mad at them really, they obviously have good taste :P)


Case Point: welovefine has a massive selection of Deadpool tees, but I've just picked my favs

wa day long weekend

Wow, what a weekend!

On Friday night a handful of my best friends and I went to support NHPW (read: wrestling) and it's alway such a blast.
I'm afraid we may be those people who chant obnoxiously loud, we like to call it "team spirit"
Of course, seeing Colt Cabana again was great, he is super nice and I think he's kinda cute.
Also, watching Awesome Kong run through two grown men was definitely entertaining.

After the wrestling finished, we went to the local pub to bid farewell to a friend of ours who is going to off to travel Europe for eight months, so naturally, I hate and love him.
Saturday was spent napping and searching for a dress big enough to fit my 6"9 boyfriend and unsurprisingly I had no luck. I did however have ice cream with sherbet (which I have been craving for almost six months prior - so satisfying).

Saturday night I dressed up as a magician for my friend's carnival/circus theme 21st birthday party.
It was amazing! I'm talking popcorn machine, fairy floss machine, slushy machine, karaoke machine... seriously, it was crazy!
I saw a few people I hadn't seen since I graduated high school (isn't it the most awkward thing? I hate talking about myself: "Oh so you've been working full time for the last 3 years and have nothing to show for it? That's cool". Blergh) but I still had a few of my nearest and dearest to share the night with so all in all it was great.

some of my fav friends: lee, siobhan, campbell & adam 

Sunday night my best friends and I went to 'State of the Art' music festival where I got to see three of my favourite Perth bands live; The Love Junkies, The Chemist and of course, Karnivool.
We had fantastic seats for Karnivool and the sound and lighting was amazing!
It was the fifth time I've seen them live but the first time in a seated venue.

Monday I spent with my boyfriend and his family in Rockingham for a BBQ lunch, the weather was hot and freezing depending on the cloud coverage which was pretty frustrating and I loved my outfit but my white shirt got dirty before I had the chance to take pictures.

it was a beautiful day for a BBQ

Oh well, I got a nice snap of the foreshore and being out in the sun reminded me how much I love relaxing and reading out in the fresh air and sunshine! Pity I made that revelation at the start of winter. Sigh.

One home I enjoyed a relaxing afternoon excluding my workout (yes I JFDI for once) and I had the chance to read some magazines and paint my nails! So an allround great weekend!
I hope yours was just as incredible!
