Peppermint and Steve Madden

Some of you already know what I'm about to tell you. It's old news by now, but better late than never. I've been meaning to blog about this for a couple of weeks, but the holidays took over my life and I never quite got around to it. Well, more like I didn't get around to taking a photo or two to put with this post.

So, without further ado I'd like to let you know that our gorgeous friend, Georgina, has also been given a spot in this quarters Peppermint magazine. Page 65 to be exact.

How about that hey? She's in two magazines at once! It's very exciting!

I'd not heard of Peppermint before last month and now I'm a big fan! It's a gorgeous magazine and I think I shall be buying every issue from this day forth. If you haven't seen it before, it's a little bit like Frankie magazine, but I found it even more appealing.

Now, to the first bargain of the year. Scored at Camberwell Markets. I'm totally in love with those markets! I really am and I'd be very happy if anyone could point me in the direction of any other markets like it in Melbourne.

Anyway, moving right along, I bought these shoes with the very last bit of money in my purse. An unheard of price for a pair of shoes. Can ya guess? Can ya? Can ya????

Steve Madden wedges in good condition for the princely sum of .....................drum roll please.................................50 cents!

True story!

And they rocked the little black dress I wore to church the other day.

I love me a good pair of wedges!

I love me a good pair of wedges that took the last 50 cents in my purse.

p.s. I am now a contributor at the op shopping blog 'I op therefore I am". If you live in Melbourne and like to see what and where other op shoppers get their bargains, then this is a great blog to follow.

Of Books and Abby Shoes

Yesterday Mum and I popped into a couple of op shops for a bit of a browse. We came home with a few nice finds. Mostly books. Old classics. I now own a copy of Doctor Zhivago, a Dickens, a Plato and Socrates, a Shakespeare, an Oscar Wilde and a David Copperfield(the writer, for those of you as naive as I was until yesterday morning). All for 50 cents each. Mum got hold of a few oldies too. Mostly Shakespeare and a couple of poetry books.

That, however,  is NOT what I want to show you today.

 I want to show you a pair of shoes I found at a little, almost hidden away op shop. I held them up to Mum with a big smile on my face and announced that I wanted to buy them. She looked at me in surprise and said, "You're not." I laughed and said, "Yes, I am!"

I have dubbed these shoes my 'Abby Shoes'!

 See why? They are Demonia shoes. A UK brand. I looked them up online this morning and apparently Abby Scuito wears this brand of Goth shoe. Or boots mostly. If you don't know who Abby is, then I'm very sorry, we can no longer be friends.

Kidding!!!!

Can you believe these were only $4.50? I can hear some of you saying a rather emphatic, YES! I know they are not everyones cup of tea, but I rather like them and I shall wear them. I told Mum I was going to wear them to church. I got another look of surprise and another, "You're not." I may rethink that one. Don't know if it's entirely appropriate to wear a pair of shoes with Demonia printed on the inside of them to church.

Even if I don't get to wear them very much, at least I'll have something to wear to a dress up party. I'll finally be able to unleash the Goth within. Yes, it's in there, but has never reared it's ugly head as I'm not into the whole satanism, gore, weird stuff that goes along with it.

Thanks Mum for the new shoes...yes, believe it or not, she bought them for me. I totally love my MUM!!!
