I think I’m getting better in terms on beauty hauling because these are the only beauty products I purchased in August. Big pat on the back!
Bloom nail polish in Sass & Bide I and Sibella I, Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips in #350 Misbehaved.
However, even though I didn’t make any further beauty purchases (I’m saving that for the ABBW), I thought I’d show you what else I bought. I’m not that good to not have purchased anything else for a month 😛
The jacket on the left is a Forever New navy blue blazer, which was on sale. The frock was purchased on a whim. I was feeling pretty blue one day, and was so tired of all the blacks and greys I’ve been seeing all winter that I craved for some colour. For some reason, this Jeanswest chiffon dress caught my eye. It’s a pretty summery frock and I can’t wait to wear it.
Cheapie Chanel-esque ballet flats from Rubi.
My favourite purchase of the month would be a Swarovski charm I bought last weekend. I was looking for something to attach to my Tiffany’s bracelet, and I saw this cute little red heart that I just couldn’t resist.
So, how did you do in August? Did you haul more or less than I did? 😛
I’ve been hauling quite a bit myself, thanks to the UK’s epic summer sales! I plan on being good for the next couple of months *crosses fingers* but then there’s all these Fall/Winter collections coming out and I’m like ‘I want everything!!’
I love that dress of yours, by the way! It looks very pretty! =)
Sukie: Oooh I’ve missed UK’s summer sales. I used to go nuts at Miss Selfridge, NEXT, River Island and Primark then. How I’ve missed shopping in the UK.
Hee hee, you’re looking forward to the Fall/Winter collections, I’m itching to get my hands on the Spring/Summer colour blocking collections 😛
love the swarvoski charm!!! immediately jazzed up the entire look 😀
Xin: I know, right? Much cheaper than Tiffany charms too. I think Tiff makes their bracelet links thick so that other brand’s charms can’t fit on it. LeGeeque and I tried Swarovski charms on our bracelets before, but it didn’t work. I was very surprised that this one did.
No more boring Tiff charms for me! 🙂
The shoes are really cute! I’m in need of some spring shoes (not really, just my excuse to shop)! I’ve never been in a Rubi store before… Hmmm!

Rin: Me neither. That pair of shoes was the first time I stepped into a Rubi store. Expected the quality to be shoddy and the shoes uncomfortable. I can’t vouch for the heels, but this pair is really not bad 🙂
lol the Sally Hansen Salon Effect – I have the same but havent used it yet waiting for nails to grow.
I love the colour on the chiffon dress – so feminine and preppy and vibrant!

Lilpil: Yay! Let me know how you go with the nail strips. I haven’t tried them on yet. Some friends say they’re easy to apply, some say they’re a pain. I’m waiting for my nails to grow longer for these 🙂
Why not start wearing the dress now? Layer a sweater over it, wear tights and boots and you should be good to go. =D

Kahani: Hmm I do have a cardie that might go with the dress. I’ll try it out right away. Thanks for the suggestion! 😀
Hehehe, that red heart is cute… funny thing is, both my sisters have it, chained with their necklaces =) and that Rubi flats is so chanel-esque! hehehe
Love haul post , I do!

Blushfully: Aww really? That is so sweet! That’s what I like about charms; you can remove them off bracelets and wear them as a pendant on a necklace. I’ll try that out this weekend.
I love haul posts too. Lets me live vicariously through another 😉
That chiffon dress is so pretty! The rubi flats are nice too…..lovely haul.

Great haul! The shoes are so pretty! Love the dress too.

Ooooh I am loving that Swarovski charm! 🙂
Hmm let’s see my haul for August:
– A pair of FitFlops Walkstar for my boyfriend’s mother
– An Acca Kappa hairbrush
– MAC Pro Lash mascara
– MAC Technakohl eyeliner in black
– Maxi skirt from Uniqlo
– Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh perfume

Stephanie/Yukaeshi: Oooh great haul! Sucks that we don’t have Uniqlo here. It would be good to bring another international brand to Australia. This way, it’ll force Aussie retailers to lower their exorbitant prices (seriously, $200 for a dress made in China? You’ve got to be kidding me!).
