today i'm tired of shopping
I've been practically out almost everyday to the shops (where else?). Of course I have more time off work now since Christmas is just around the corner.
But there isn't anything to buy.
I walked into Kookai. I walked out after 5 minutes. Boring skirts going on for $149. I have a few of similar designs, new ones lying in my wardrobe (the material and designs don't really change. It gets boring after a while).
I walked into Witchery. I walked out before I even browse anything. I'm too short to wear anything from Witchery. And they have plain colours. White. Brown. Grey, Pale purple. Pale pink.
Then there is Country Road. Too old for me! But they've got nice menswear and home stuff.
I'm desperately looking for a pair of heels. Preferably black. I couldn't find anything that I like. Those that I've seen are just alright. Why are shoes from Nine West so over-priced? And why are kids clothing so expensive? I love Pumpkin Patch though. They're reasonable.
I love David Jones. I love David Jones and I adore David Jones. Just so because I get to stand there for an hour deciding which OneTeaspoon top to get for sis and ended up getting her a top from Wheels & Dollbaby instead.
I've always prefer Myer over David Jones for some strange reasons but lately, I seem to find that place boring and the clothes don't really appeal to me. I'm intrigued by this brand named Review. I like it but I've never try on any of those clothes. Somehow it just seems so not me.
I don't buy clothes from Target. No matter how cheap they are. They're not exactly cheap by the way. If it's Target United States then it's different because Isaac Mizrahi designs the woman collection the last time I heard. If only they import his stuff. Or copy his stuff. Since it's Target anyway but no, dream on.
I don't even know what to get for S. I've only managed to get him a Morrissey long-sleeve shirt which I fell in love instantly when I walked into the store (damn, why I don't have that mutual feelings with shoes??!?). Anyway, I was thinking of teaming that shirt up with something else just so that it doesn't look like just a shirt as pressie. I fell in love with a Hugo Boss tie but I doubt he will wear it very often. I know my mind works weirdly. I got him perfume and some after-shave kit for his birthday not long ago and I seriously ran out of ideas now. Come to think about it, that Morrissey will do, won't it?
I need to buy a pressie for T, a very close girlfriend of mine. Would anyone kindly give me some ideas?
Does anyone know if those MOR body butters are any good? They smell nice to me for sure! I love the Marshmallow ones.
On an unrelated note, I wanna watch King Kong. I've been waiting since last week but S is too busy to accompany me and I don't wanna watch it without waiting for him. I'm catching the first instalment of The Chronicles Narnia with him this coming Thursday though. I can't wait!
