Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I do hope that January has been treating you
really well and that you're having a fantastic day. I feel like utter trash
right now. I mean, I am trash, so what else is new? But I'm really really feeling it
today. I'm so sorry that it has taken me so long to get back into filming. I don't
know what it is about the end of the year. Christmas just seems to really take
it out of me and then I don't really seem to feel like myself again until
about this time of year. So here I am. I've just been really tired and I've
caught a few colds and chronic illness is just a bitch and mine never wastes an
opportunity to remind me. I seem to lose my confidence when it comes to making
YouTube videos incredibly easily and then every time I go to film a new one
it's like it's the first time I'm doing it and I get really anxious. But I just
need to stop overthinking it, sit down and start filming. So that's what I'm
doing. Today I have a mixed bag haul for you.
I've been taking advantage of the January sales and I got a bunch of
random things and pretty much everything is pink. I'll get the first thing out of
the way right now quickly because I am actually wearing it. It's this cute
little striped knit crop t-shirt from Miss Selfridge. I got it from the Iconic
which if you don't know what the Iconic is, it's kind of like an Australian ASOS.
It's this enormous website with hundreds of different brands, you can
find all kinds of stuff on there I absolutely love it. This was really
cheap, I think it was only about $20. I thought it was a really nice simple
design with this lovely scoop neckline and this frill that goes around the edge.
I thought it would look really nice with this Nasty Gal choker that I'm wearing
all the time and I think I was right? Next I got a couple of things from Peter
Alexander. If you don't know Peter Alexander you probably aren't from
Australia or New Zealand. It's this amazing sleepwear store that makes the
cutest pyjamas ever. So cute I think they can sometimes pass for daywear. I got
this sleep t-shirt kind of with that in mind because it has sequins all down the
front and it's just not practical for me.
They're going to last all of five minutes of me sleeping. It has this
stunning dreamy print of the Eiffel Tower all lit up and sequins kind
of are an extension of the lights. There's also this pink neon text that
reads "Paris city of lights". Peter Alexander sleep tees are so soft and
comfy, they're my favourite thing to sleep in but I think I'm going to see if I can
pass this one off as a t-shirt dress and wear it out. So make sure to follow my
instagram feed because it will definitely be appearing sometime soon.
I also got this sleep mask from the Breakfast at Tiffany's collection. It's
supposed to look a bit like Holly Golightly's one.
I also got this sleep kmask from their Breakfast at Tiffany's collection. it's supposed to look like
Holly Golightly's one that she wears in the movie. It's a pretty basic sleep mask
with the details printed on and a fringe trim sewn on for the eyelashes. it
also comes in this really cute pink satin case with the title of the film
embroidered on the back. This was a bit of an impulse buy because it was
originally... $46! And I bought this for $11. I also have a pair of Peter Alexander
Breakfast at Tiffany's pajamas that comes in a very similar case to this one
and I always seem to travel with it. It's just so comfy and so cute and I thought
it would be really fun to a matching pyjama set and sleep mask in my
overnight bag... Sue me. But wait there's more! I actually bought two of these
masks because I thought that this would be really great for a giveaway at some
point, so make sure you subscribe to my channel so you know when I announce it.
Next up is this incredibly cute dress that I got from Revolve. It's by a brand
called Privacy Please and it looks so much like a dress the ballerina would
wear. When I was little and I was out with my parents about 4 or 5 p.m. I
would always see other little girls in the most adorable ballet class uniforms.
The cute pink leotards and those wool wrap cardigans. I wanted so so much to be
a dancer but my disability is stepped in and I never got to be one of those girls.
But now I'm an adult and I can pretend to be whatever I want to be. This dress
is like the perfect cross between the quintessential pink ballet leotard and
the dancers wrap cardigan. This was quite expensive I think it was on sale for
about 120 New Zealand dollars but it was just so perfect, just what I've been
looking for and the fabric is so nice. It's really soft, stretchy and
comfortable, but I think this will also be very warm and durable so I'm going to
be wearing it for years and years to come. I got this cute pale pink bodycon
dress from River Island. It's sleeveless and it has this really really nice
flippy hemline at the bottom. It has these stunning diamante buttons all over it
and yeah I just think it's a really nice classic cute piece in my wardrobe. I
think I could wear this in summer with some nice sandals and in winter
with some overknee boots so I think it's going to be quite versatile. I've been
wanting a sort of everyday bag that was just a little bit more dressed up than
the bags I tend to go for every day. For the last two years I've pretty much only been
using my two backpacks. I love them but sometimes you just don't want to wear a
backpack. So I got this one from Colette by Colette Hayman. This bag is not quite
the colour I was expecting, I thought these parts and edges would be a much
lighter cream but they're really more of a light beige. Another thing that's a bit
disappointing is I find that Colette bags tend to look amazing but they're a
bit flimsy. It doesn't keep its shape terribly well and if I'd seen this in
the store I'm not sure I would have bought it. But I'm going to try and work
with it and see what I come up with. From a distance it does still look very
cute. So now I have yet another pink dress to show you. I got this one on ASOS
and it was quite expensive even though I got it on sale. It's from a brand called
Flynn Skye, which was totally new to me. I looked it up and it turns out that
it's one of those more ethical brands - they try to be very transparent about
their trade practices and sustainability so the price is going to be higher but
it also means that the quality of the materials used is also better.
This dress is designed to last not just be worn a couple of times and discarded.
Although this is made of a really light floaty crepe like fabric I can tell that
this is going to last a long long time. It's what I like to call "simple but done
very well". There's nothing over the top with this dress it's just a simple mini
dress with a sweetheart neckline, spaghetti straps and these cute knotted
off the shoulder straps. The thing that really pulls it together and drives the
cuteness of it way up is these little buttons that go all the way down the
front. But don't worry there is this zip on the back so no need to button and
unbutton every single time you wear it. And lastly I got a couple of small
things from Ted Baker/ I took up swimming recently and I've been trying to put
together a workout gym bag kit... thing and I wanted a cute water bottle because
frankly if it's not cute if it doesn't belong in my life. I got this one by Ted
Baker it's so adorable. It's a lovely soft baby pink with this
kind of bow imprint all over the cover and in really tiny gold lettering it
says "hydrat-Ted" which... cringe. But it's not really noticeable. It's quite small
it's only about 350 mils but that actually works out quite well for me
because it also fits in my mini backpacks which I'm wearing all the time.
It's made of glass so it keeps the water tasting quite fresh. I don't know if it's
just me but I think that water tastes really strange when it's been in a metal
water bottle. I had actually been eyeing this up for about a year but it's always
been so expensive. I don't think I found it for anything less than between 45 to
55 New Zealand Dollars but this was the last one in stock on Mighty Ape and it went
on sale for $26, so I got it. And the other thing I got from Ted Baker was
this amazing silk skinny scarf. This is just me in a scarf.
It's this really beautiful pale pink with this delicate cherry
blossom print all over it. I really like scarves like this because the length of
them makes them so versatile. I can tie it around my head like a headband Serena
van der Woodsen style. I can tie it lots of ways around my neck including in a
big bow. I can use it to customise a handbag. I could even braid my hair and
weave the scarf through the braid which is something I've always wanted to try.
So that's everything that I got in the January sales this year. Let me know in
