Modcloth Surprise

Just a super quick post tonight.

I arrived home last night and sitting on my laptop was a parcel!! I had totally forgotten that I had ordered a few things from Modcloth.I love, Love LOVE Modcloth. They have a great selection of fun and quirky styles in clothing and housewares. They also have a lot of classic looking basics that are all great quality.
I have could spend ours browsing through all the lovely styles and patterns they have. But I have been stung by postage fees before. Luckily it wasn't terrible this time but being based in the US it makes my sad Aussie dollar look a bit weak now.
ere's my little haul from Modcloth:                                                        







Cherry Picking Top: $29.99 rrp M

Super cute and somewhat sheer bright orangey red top. Sleeveless and breezy, all tied together with a lovely bow at the neck.
I always read the comments and reviews before I buy anything and for the most part the worst thing people had to say was that it didn't suit their body type or the fabric was a bit thin. All things I am willing to forgive as I already have a top in this cut and the thinner the fabric the less I have to worry about the endless 30+ degree heat.


  Fresh For The Pickin' Skirt: $54.99 rrp (bought for $37.99) L
How adorable is this print!! It was love at first site so I just had to get it. Vivid strawberry and raspberry print. Knee length A-line design. What isn't there to love? Best thing yet IT HAS POCKETS! There is no end to my love of dresses with pockets. Especially pockets that are actually usable and aren't just for show. The reviews said that the sizing ran a little small so I sized up just in case. I really can't justify spending money on something I can't really return (or can't be bothered). I think I could easily fit an M though. 





Boldest Of The Bunch Dress: $89.99rrp (bought for $69.99) L
 When I saw this dress in my hands I literally went bananas! Although this isn't available at Modcloth anymore it's still floating around directly from Folter as part of their Retrolicious range.
I am very glad I read the reviews for this dress. It's amazing but it definitely is a smaller run. In an A-line dress I'm usually a M or S this dress definitely wouldn't fit in anything other than an L on me.

Keep an eye out after I return from Europe. I'm starting something exciting and it may include a lot of super cute retro and rockabilly designs. You may see these guys popping up again in future blog posts.

Bloggers in my life

Yes, Yes, Long time no post.
There has been some major weather action here lately with some cyclones in the area causing a lot of water damage. Also, it's been very hot so I've been lazy haha..

Today I'd like to talk about the people who inspired me with their blogs to create my own.

I never use to pay any attention to blogs at all until fairly recently. I think it was some time early last year while I was home alone that I stumbled upon the first blog that really caught my interest. It's still one of my favourite blogs that I follow and one of my favourite people on the internet.

Ekiblog:
http://www.ekiblog.com/

I was drawn to her love of beauty and kawaii. Her photography is excellent and she has an adorable webstore where she sells hand made jewelery and other cute things. She is constantly visiting Japan, my one true weakness, and sharing her experiences with the world.
She has a great range of make up and contact lense reviews and great youtube tutorials also. Bonus also, she's gorgeous and writes in a lovley and kind tone.

Eki will always be in my list of top bloggers for sure. Check her out if you can or don't already follow her blog.

Secondly, and only because I found her after Eki (and in a post from Eki) is Cheeserland:
http://cheeserland.com/

Cheesie is a Malaysian blogger who focuses more on fashion than beauty but also has a fair share of travel (mostly to Japan), beauty and other interesting things to post about.
Cheesie's writing style is very laid back and fun. She's definitely deserving of the award for "NAPBAS Best fashion blog".

I get a little envious of these ladies every now and then. They seem to have so much fun in their daily lives and have truely made their blogs a full time job. I know it's not likely at the moment but if I can make even the tiniest percentage of a following of happy readers then I know I've made a good blog like these girls.

Just thought I'd better make it obvious as well. The pictures in this post are in no way my own. They are from the front page of both blogs.

It's getting close to Valentines Day again. Maybe I'll have some super cute things to post about again soon. <3
