adventures in david jones & past thrift store attempts recorded on camera phone!


It seems I've neglected one of my favourite city stores, david jones for a month or so, and how I've missed it. I ventured in today whilst waiting for a friend and boyfriend, and saw all the lovely new stock. But it was some old stock that attracted me the most. Mainly these two pieces from sass&bide, which I first saw a few weeks ago at the Paddington store. The sale assistants there scare the heck out of my sometimes. Most of the time actually. So I tried on this gorgeous loose knit, snake print cape/cardigan. Which I loved, maybe not for the 350AUD$. The dress is also pretty cute, but my size is never in stock. I highly doubt I’ll find either of these pieces at the sale; I’m really unlucky with sales that way. Someone will tell me what an amazing sale this brand is having and three months later when it happens again I hype it up in my head only to find the strangest stock in sizes which are a billion times to big for me. I still end up buying things, I don't know that works. Holidays are absolutely great, it’s a very sweet boredom when I get to have random thoughts about things I’d like to be doing and ACTUALLY have the time to go do them. Like buying a giant box of pop tarts and shoving down my mouth as fast as possible in the middle of a shopping centre with a friend, bringing disgust to my boyfriends face!




This was the cutest Escada vest I found at Broadway Betty (Vintage store near Sydney University), it also had a matching oversized jacket. I wanted both but since they were both men’s size 44, I don't think there was much I could have done to save it. I kind of looked like a pimp in the jacket actually. Both are still in store, for anyone interested/crafty enough to alter them properly. (You can actually see how short I am in the vest photo, I'm standing on my tippytoes trying to take that photo, and it wasn't even hanging high above me. It's one of the few clickable pictures)
