Of course, because I am house bound, I needed to a bit of online shopping. This lead me to the highly advertised new Australian ASOS website! And may I say the current sales they have are fantastic with massive savings. Here is the website: http://www.asos.com/au/Women/
Because I am going away on numerous beach holidays within the next few months I decided I should stock up on new swimmers, hats, bags etc. On the weekend while out for brunch I actually bought a really nice, simple broad brimmed hat which I have wanted for 12 months but never really found the right one. I got it from the ripcurl shop in Manly and even though I hate those brands like Billabong, Roxy etc. this hat is actually quite nice and doesn't have a massive logo on it, which is mainly what I hated about the brand. I had to match the hat to my pair of swimmers that I got last season, unaware that I would buy new ones today. They aren't extravagant swimmers or anything, just black and white polka dots but had to find something that worked with the kinda of 50s theme of styling. The hat below is similar to what I bought (I couldn't find an exact image). Mine is black and the scarf around it black and white matching my swimmers. I was really happy with this find and can't wait to get out in the sun and use it.
Back to ASOS, today I bought a pair of black swimmers and a bag. I felt I needed another pair of swimmers and wanted to buy a kaftan to match but unfortunately didn't really like any of them, so will have to keep looking. The swimmers were quiet cheap at $23 and hopefully they are good material etc (keep you updated).
The bag I bought because I am going overseas and needed something that was more secure than what I have, this bag looked perfect being not to big but big enough to fit everything I need and having lots of zippers so it would be harder for people to access.
So I got the bag in brown (this colour is red in the picture) and hopefully the leather will be ok and everything, so have high expectations with the $30 price tag though.
That is pretty much all I have bought in 6months, which is pretty much driving me insane due to the lack of clothes that I have to wear so I will more than likely be going crazy with all the cheap clothes in hawaii.
Love and luck

I like the red bag but I'm sure the bag in brown is just as gorgeous. I love the swimming costume you bought too. I hope you have a lovely time when you get to use them :).

Thanks Sarah, I will keep you updated as to the quality of it and weather it is what I was thinking, because sometimes I find with online shopping it looks different to the picture. Elloise xxx
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI received my ASOS things today after along wait. But to their credit they have given me a discount for the delay in the delivery. The bag is a lot bigger than expected but still really nice and the leather is great! The swimmers are also great and would have no problem suggesting the swim wear on ASOS. Thanks for commenting xxx
