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 :)

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
