The Weekly Wishlist: American Apparel

Today my adventures seemed to take me past the American Apparel store on Oxford Street in Sydney, even though I went inside knowing full well that I couldn't afford to buy anything, I still left with a heavy heart as I mentally racked up the biggest of wish lists! 

Now, usually I keep the weekly wish list down to an easy and quick 3 items, but this week I had trouble containing my wants and desires! I'm a closet American Apparel fan, only ever splurging on their famous Mesh panel bodysuit and a pair of Disco pants (Which I wore through in one season due to improper washing!) I've always digged their basic and simple styles but never felt they were worth the price tag, now that i'm really invested in a more simpler style (or complete 90's revival, depends what catches my fancy!) I find myself sobbing quietly into my wallet when I contemplate pulling out the credit card and making a bad life choice.

Instead i'm going to share my favourite items with you guys in hopes one of you has a well paying job, I'm going to have to wait until the new year and hope I find a spectacular job to pay for my shopping habit.

American flag tee $28
I could buy ANYTHING with the US flag on it, I really dig me some red, white and blue! (Especially if Chris Evans is wearing it!)

Athletic contrast tee $34
I keep going on and on about it but I love LOVE LOVE sports luxe and this would look so cute with my leather shorts!

Basic crew neck tee $10
It took all my power not to demand the staff to take the last one of these tees down off the mannequin, i've always loved pink but this shade is DIVINE!

Colour block shorts $60 Colour block tee $28
Ok. So these shorts started my credit card temptation. Pastel. High waisted. I'm sold! And look! Cute matching top! I need these in my life, It's looking like a pastel summer!

Silver Shorts $34
I've been on the hunt for silver shorts. It's one of my weird obsessions that are pointless explaining and will probably look terrible on me!

Sunflower baby doll dress $54
Usually i'm a daisy person but i'm quite liking the colours of this sunflower print, since it'd being so widely ripped off i'm expecting to see it everywhere this summer in Sydney.

Sunflower overalls $88
I don't know what they're trying to portray with the (lack of) Styling in this photo, but weirdness aside, i'm going gaga for overalls. Can't stop. Won't stop.

*All prices are from the US American Apparel website.

So what do you think? I'm desperate for some feedback!

so i've kind of started my own fashion label!!! heres the video where i talk about how this crazyness started and about how you can check it out. theres also a few sneak peaks :D

just what i needed

hellooo worldddd this is meeeeee. sorry. saying hello world reminds me of the saddle club... ANYWAY this was yesterdays outfit. i thought i'd tryout fishnets for the first time and all i can say is WHY HAVEN'T I OWNED THESE BEFORE?!?! they're so great at adding texture to an outfit! i even wore them again today! i bought them from paddy's markets (as well as the stud cuff) its my new fav place for accessories (i also got my fake chanel bag from there ;))

i'm also rocking my new docs in this pic. i'm unable to wear them out just yet because the toes are too tight :( i need to try and stretch them and then break them in. i wish they were more consistent with their sizing :( oh well. my fault for not checking out the shoe reviews like i normally do! i've been told to stuff them with wet news paper. anyone tried this and have it work?

also on other news im thinking of quitting my job and starting up a market stall/working part time. im so unhappy where i work and i'd rather spend my days slaving away with crafty diy projects ;) i'll do an instagram post soon and show you all what items i want to sell at my stall ^_^ also stay tuned for a new thrift haul blog! :D

turns out i did want to upload it haha. hypes would be loved and cherished!! ;)
