Whoops

I faltered. I fell. But in my defense saving money is REALLY boring. I'm usually not a big fan of diffusion lines but I bit the bullet and bought this Dion Lee for Cue shirt dress yesterday. I tried to wear it with tights and a jacket to work today but I think I am still looking pretty inappropriate. Oh well I think it's cute anyway.

Hello My Name's Shannon and I am a Blackoholic

I finished my MBA! Ok thats a filthy lie I finished this trimester but good news is I dont have to spend every day ploughing through 10 hours at work then another 3 with my head in a book for a few weeks. Huzzah! So back to the blog I run.

My wardrobe seems very scarce at the moment but I am trying not to spend any money until I reach New York (so outfit posts will probably be mediocre at best). I am however, trying to wear more colour as my wardrobe pretty much consists of black and grey. This is my attempt for my work get-up today , I must have underestimated just how much black I wear because I have got 6 comments (its 9.45am) that its wierd to see me in colour.

Could I be an unintentional goth?! I'm not a cure fan so I think I'm in the clear.

By the way I wanted to take these pics in little pavillion we have in our backyard but there are workers next door who could see so I had to resort to the dingy garden.

R & R

I actually had a day off yesterday (!!) so we went out for breakfast in the Italian Forum and wondered around the city enjoying the sun. It was a lovely relaxing day, it turned out to be a great way to recharge the batteries.

Me looking like a total tourist

 

They had an egg white omelette on the menu, so we both ordered it to be healthy but it turned out to be ridiculously bland....find the basil people!

Showing off his stamp from the previous night (classy).

 

To brighten up the place where I do all my work we bought some lilies and a wild lime candle, the candle smells delish!

Fool's Paradise

Things have been mind numbingly boring for me at the moment, working long hours and studying at night. Usually my remedy would be some retail therapy but given that I am supposed to be saving for NYC and San Fran (8 weeks to go!) that is not an option.

So I did the next best thing....posted the things I want on here!

Must.......be........strong.

Peter Lang Cuff, Tom Ford Sunnies (how many pairs of sunglasses do I need?) Forever new leopard coat, Willow Existence Jacket, Asos Dress, Alexander Wang boots, Oscar De La Renta Necklace and Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil (in happy day)

Kirkwood Love

I am slightly obsessed with Nicholas Kirkwood heels, I love how they are so unique but still wearable (albiet painfully). Here are some of my faves from SS2011....love, love, love.

Did I mention love?

Weekend of Reprieve

I accidentally left my uni work locked inside my office this weekend and even though I have a paper due today I got some much needed R & R. The outfit isn't terribly exciting but was comfy and did get to wear my new Tony Bianco wedges. I should forget my work every weekend!
