Saturday bargains

January 15, 2011 Carly Findlay 7 Comments

I didn’t do much today. My day comprised breakfasting with Jen, resting, sorting washing, researching for an upcoming interview, napping and a spot of shopping (only briefly as my legs can’t carry me far).

I found a few bargains in Target. Temt tempted me too, but I thought I’d go quality over quantity.

The Stella McCartney for Target range is on its way out. I wasn’t fussed by much of the range compared to last time. It was all a bit dramatic, and not practical for me.

I did buy this bangle though, which I wanted when the range first went on sale in October 2010. I couldn’t justify the original price though. $30 for something similar to the stock at Diva. Today I paid $5. The below photo is actually Sydney Shop Girl’s. My photo didn’t turn out so well. Mine, like SSG’s, was the last Love bangle in my local Target.

I prefer the Limited Editions range at Target to most of the Designers for Target (but I loved the Yeojin Bae range so much I bought most of the dresses when they went on sale). A lot of my workwear is from Target’s Limited Editions. So it made me really happy to see a lot of it on sale today! I bought this dress for a steal at $30 (reduced from $80!).

I also bought these bikini bottoms. I will maybe – but most likely not – wear them with my (2009 Target) tankini top during camp. These too were cheap – $10 or something.

I had a burger at Grill’d (Melbourne’s BEST burgers) and fell in love with the Jamie magazine. It was provided by Grill’d and I loved it so much I needed to buy my own. It’s a really nice magazine with doable recipes and some backstories behind the recipes. I also bought my fave magazine, Shop til You Drop.

I could read them tonight, but instead I’ll do some writing while enjoying a glass of moscato and this – a plate of strawberries salmon and cheese.

 Happy Saturday night, everyone!

    Jamie's magazine is really fantastic – well priced with heaps of great recipes and articles. I really like that guy – saw him live and he really does whip up great meals super fast.
    And working in printing I can't help but be impressed with the paper and the whole treatment of the pages in the magazine hahah
