This week has been a full one with lots of shopping, coffee drinking and catching up with friends. I now have an assistant, Daniel, to help me with my postage system and other things. He helps me after school one day a week and I am hoping  that in time I will be able to offer him more work. We like to joke that I am Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada and he is Ann Hathaway but he is far better dressed than her character and though I adore that hairstyle  my hair just will not go that glorious shade of grey! But I am as well dressed! I think this bag is a little like something Meryl’s character would have used don’t you? I found this for two dollars at a charity shop this week! Madness!

The shoes were found at Vinnies last year…they are by JIGSAW and divine.

A week or so ago I found a mannequin at Vinnies which has made everything I do so much more enjoyable. The clothes look so much better…especially the  jewellery. I am having so much fun draping necklaces over her to go with various outfits. Daniel is also an awfully good op shopper and is proving invaluable in double checking garments for flaws etc which is a big help as Vinnie’s have had a lot of 50% off sales lately and it has been hard to check everything I buy as garments can be quite heavy when there are lots of them draped over one’s arm!

This is one of the outfits I bought on a 50% off day recently. It is by Rodney Clark, a top Australian designer and has a chiffon outer layer with masses of flounces and it is is lined with taffeta!! Incredible!  I did not know that Gordon Smith clothing was under the RODNEY CLARK umbrella but I guess I should not be surprised as the quality is amazing.

I am also in the middle of hanging all my gorgeous ebay garments onto these

multi purpose hangers which I purchased from Howard’s Storage World. The hangers are great but the online service leaves something to be desired as my son also ordered some dvd storage towers and one was severely damaged and he is still waiting for a pick up well over a fortnight or so later. Shame on you for your poor customer service Howard’s Storage World, he has been a great customer and has been treated shabbily. Will let you know what develops.

Update..the next day we were contacted about a pickup and drop off a new dvd case by someone at Howard’s Storage World online so my son’s dvd collection should be sorted!
