For Boxing Day

Did anyone else notice that this year's Boxing day sale wasn't as good as the other years? You'd think because of the recession all stores would be pricing everything super affordable to consumers but really, it wasn't that good. But who am I to talk seeing I spent most of my day in this one store. Yes, one store.

It's pretty lame how that turned out but I think I got some pretty nice pieces.

I came across this photo below from some blog. I am so bad at crediting my sources. I just like to collect pretty images on to my computer so I never know at the end of the day where they came from. As a child I clipped so many magazine and newspaper articles and photos - which I found some last night and I felt pretty proud of myself to have such archive.

Anyway before I completely side-track I just wanted to show you my new purchase!

Very Balmain inspired blazer by Zara:



I have been trying so hard to boycott these mass produced, large clothing companies but sometimes it's hard to do that because a girl like me who is trying to get through design school cannot afford the real deal Balmain -- yet.
